Some names we currently like are Cedar, Lochlan, and Rhys but we can’t seem to commit to one. I’m not sure what the draw is to these names. Suggestions for similar ones?

We are looking at names for our second baby girl but are unsure. We love both the names Lucy Skye and Fern Skye. We’re currently leaning more towards Fern but I’m worried it might be too botanically themed as they’ll have a big sister Ivy Rose. Thanks in advance 😊

As a kid when I heard certain names, I would imagine a kid or an adult, based on what name. And it felt so weird to me when it was the other one. Like when I met an adult named Ethan. I had always thought of that as a name for a kid. No a grown middle aged man. I do this with most names but not all. So tell me do you guys feel this too or am I crazy.

Please list out any of initial nicknames not on this list.

MJ , AJ , TJ, JD, CJ, KC , MJ, JJ , JC, (JT, JB)

*Bonus tell me ur fav combo and full name for it.

Had this name my whole life. I have only met one other person with said name though I know there’s more out there. I am here to give my experience and answer any questions should you consider my name for your future offspring and have questions of what this name is to bring to them.

What do you think about these 2 names for a baby boy? We love Cody, it sounds modernized. But Thomas is also very nice name as well. Thank you so much! Background: We're Asian American.

I know it’s a big ask, but I’d love to see some a-z lists, even if it’s made up on the spot. Not gender specific. I just want to increase my name vocabulary for writing and maybe a future kid.

I’ll go first

I am not a big Star Wars fan. My husband is a little but is not a huge fan. We have a son named Gideon. He wants to name our daughter Leia. That name already gives star war vibes but with my son being named Gideon (Moff Gideon) is it too much of a theme? I’m adamantly against Leia for this reason. But my husband doesn’t think anyone would notice. What do you think?

Baby boy due in May! We're so excited and looking for the perfect name. We've decided on a Turkish middle name and have narrowed it down to these four. Our next step will be finding the perfect English first name to complement it. Which of these middle names is your favorite?

• Mavi
• Attila
• Tan
• Demir

Thanks so much for your help!

P.S. Any English first name suggestions that would pair well are welcome!

It’s still very underused in my area. “Kira” is becoming popular in my area, however.

My first (female) Quinn Rachel (Bob Dylan song. Brothers middle name. Rachel is my mothers name) My second (male) Atticus Carson (To kill a mockingbird. Carson is my brother's name) My third (male) Van Rowdy. (Van Morrison, Rowdy is his dad's name)

Currently pregnant with a girl. I strongly dislike most feminine names. I definitely lean towards more gender neutral or just flat out boy names.

I have considered some names but end up HATING them within a couple months. It's bizarre. I fear I will have a nameless child lol.

Names I've considered: Sailor Murphy Rowan Sloane

Sweet Jesus I need help. SOS

Edit: I guess I should mention my middle name is Kim and so is my dad's. This is my last child and ideally I'd like to continue that. If it works, awesome. But not necessarily adamant about it.

Hello all! I’m expecting my second kiddo, a girl, her sibling is Foster. ( I don’t wanna hear the foster kid jokes, we adore his little old man name) i also have a Scandinavian background that we used for his middle name that I’d love to keep the trend going if possible, but not super worried about it

But now we are tasked with finding a girls name that matches!

We love classic names like Elsie, Margot, Eleanor, but we are looking for just a couple more options!

Seeing as foster isn’t a common name, we are hoping to avoid the over popular names at this time, and are really open to anything!

We are avoiding any “Leigh” or “ Emma” based names for other reasons.:) and my husband isn’t a fan of Scarlett sadly! And I Love the name Maisie, but a young infant of a friend named that recently passed away and I just can’t use it with that being so recent.

TIA!

We’ve for sure decided on Ryan for our boy. It’s a family name and we love it. Any girl names that would go well with it? I love Amelia but am deciding against it because of its popularity. I love Corinna but it just doesn’t feel right. Any help is appreciated :)

Hello! My sister is planning to name her daughter Maggie, but she isn't planning to do a middle name because she can't think of enough names she likes. I am trying to convince her to do a middle name! Any suggestions to go with it?

We're stuck on baby names!!!!!! Kian (boy) Kaia (girl) are my faves, but hubby isn't sold on those names and prefers Ari or Zane (boy) & Iris (girl) Big sis is Leah.

Thoughts!??

My friend is having a baby boy in may and her husband is set on them naming him with a J name. She wants an I name.

Middle name is Tayler. Last name is Jacobson🙈

Names he likes so far: Jensen and Jace.

So far she likes: Ivan 💙

Open to other names if they sound good with middle and last name!

Names off the table is: Julian, Josh, Jake, John and Jaxon.

Do your thanggggggg name nerdssss 😩🙏🏻

We have a daughter named Zoe and expecting a boy in a few months. We are Chinese so almost all the English names don’t mean anything to us directly, which makes it harder to find a name for the boy. We prefer names started with a Z since that’s my whole family’s initial for our first names. The name I thought about is Zephyr which also has Greek Origin. Another name suggested by my aunt is Zachary or simply Zac/Zack/Zach. I hope to see what people think of the names. Or if there’s another name that can be a good fit as the sibling for Zoe. Thx.

Due with a girl in April. We agreed on Teagan pretty easily but middle names are hard. Last name is one syllable if that helps. Thank you in advance.

Hello! We are expecting our 4th baby, 2nd girl. Her siblings are Sebastian, Adelaide, and Maximus. I know this is strange, but the pattern came to be a 3 syllable saints name, followed by a two syllable warrior name (which we have ideas for). Please give feedback on the following? Juliette Vivienne Gabrielle Margaret Winifred Cecilia EDIT: Francesca too!

Bonus: somehow they all have Disney names (which was not purposeful but now seems part of the pattern lol)

Thanks all!

Hello! I just found out I’m having a girl! The name “Mary” holds significance in the family starting with my great grandmother and I would like to incorporate it into baby girl’s name. I’m wondering what suggestions people have for Mary in a first or middle name. Mary is my middle name and my great grandma, grandma, and mother have Mary in their first name to some extent. My husband and I like “Brianna Mary” or “Brieanna Mary” as of right now but I don’t know if I’m set on it.

We also have a son whose name is Oliver Lee.

Thanks in advance!

So my given name is Brooklyn and I have hated it my whole life. I've gone by the nickname "Brooke" since I was a kid, but honestly I really hate that too. This sub is so creative with names, does anyone have any creative or out of the ordinary nicknames for the name Brooklyn? I'm thinking it might be easier to find something that is somewhat of a nickname rather than change my whole name, it's fine if it's kind of a stretch. I don't much like Lyn either. Thanks!

I'm in the 3rd trimester and still really struggling with finding the right name! We're set on Rae as the middle name, and I like Louisa as the first name.

I'm worried its too similar to Louisa May Allcott (the author of Little women) but I'm also worried that I'm over thinking it! Fwiw her last name will sound nothing like Allcott.

So me and my girlfriend are going to build a bear soon and need a last name for our child. His name is gonna be Gilbert, and we want a matching elegant last name that would be funny yet sophisticated. anything is welcome as long as it isn’t offensive.

My husband and I are expecting a second daughter. Our first is named Sylvia, but she often is called Sylvie as a nickname.

We like the two names included in the title, but are open to other names as well! We tend to like well established names that aren’t too popular right now. Middle name is likely Joy.

There are too many names in the novel I've written that are too similar. I need help coming up with some other ones. Here are the main characters' current names:

James* Zane* Katy Carly Margery Michelle*

As you can see, there are too many names with a prominent A.

The starred ones are the ones I don't want to change.

An alternative for Katy needs to be a name that a American couple might give to a baby they adopt from Korea but try to fit into white suburban America. She's a bit of a misfit, who talks fast and acts before she thinks but is very devoted to her best friend James.

I'm pretty open on possibilities for Carly since I don't have a good idea of her background. She is a nurse who travels for a few weeks at a time. Her boyfriend is Zane, who cheats on her with everyone he can. She's also generous to a fault and collects people around her who need help.

I'd rather not change Margery's because I think it fits her well but I'd be open to it. She's the nosy, matter-of-fact manager of a trailer park. I imagined her as Lebanese-American.

What names would you all suggest?

so im making a new character. she's from a really really rich family that lives in a mansion in california. she's 6 years old in the main timeline and has a super bubbly sweet personality. siblings are elijah, henry, emily, charles, nicole, and angelina. parents r harold (😭) and victoria. last name is bettencourt. what do u guys think? also, middle name ideas r def welcome!

Names we love for baby girl will be listed below but none of them feel like her name. Maybe I’m just someone who has to give birth and see my baby first to commit to a name?! I’m in my second trimester and really thought I would know by now. I think our vibe is classic/romantic names? HELLLPPP!

• Lydia
• Eliza/Elizabeth (my husband’s current fav)
• Serena
• Elliot
• Isla
• Margot
• Scarlett
• Natalie
• Amelia

Her name is Ke’ala Coral Ventimiglia

EU based non English native speakers. Our main languages are French and German. Most Englo names are a big no. We don’t do family names.

Our second is due any day. Our first, a 4yo girl has Germanic / Slavic popular names of Greek origin. Like an ancient city in Jordan and a former kids Eurovision then Eurovision winner names not to name them.

We set last night on Joric (pronounced Eeoreek with a longer o). I lost on Achille, konstantin and Sascha which are a lot more traditional names. At this point, I’m considering Childeric as a middle name, a frank king, to have something that flows. Kind of dig it but I feel like it’s too much. My brother is already a Cédric so that’s out and we’d like to stick to the Greek name origin thing. Anyone got any idea?
