Do you follow the annual SSA lists of popular baby names and hope your favourite doesn't climb the charts?

Do you have a child on the way and a naming dilemma?

Would it be weird to give my kids similar names

What I mean is if I named my kids names like Hailey/Bailey, Jenna/Jennifer, Jeffery/Jefferson. Would it be to similar and if so would it be complicated. Because I like the idea of doing it but I want some opinions especially if you either know someone or have a name similar to your siblings.

Question for a name

I've made a Miku equivalent for my ocs' world, but i'm not to sure about the name. It's "Ramune Pinku", which is of course pink ramune. The name matches and rhymes a lot with the "Hatsune Miku", but the only thing is that those are Japanese words, not names. I don't wanna be like YandereDev with my names. So do you guys think it'd be fine or tell me another Hatsune Miku name? Thanks!

Thoughts of Beniel and Doniel for brothers? Beniel is the name of my one year old. Beniel’s nickname is Beni, and we would use Doni for our other son. Is it too much “Niel”?

Last Name - R

I am changing my last name due to family drama and also just personal dislike of it. I would like it stay beginning with a R and any help would be much appreciated. I want something unique and "cool" sounding, nothing too basic but also no to crazy.

I'm writing a book and I need help with a character's name

Context: basically the character has a curse in which he became immortal, he saw his father die in front of him, he saw the kingdom in chaos with people being cursed, he saw his friends die over time, he saw the kingdom return to peace, he went to jail because he was immature and thought he would be invincible being immortal, but even being immortal he could still be arrested and he was, when he came out he decided he was going to be king and manipulated and lied to many people to be able to pretend to be a prince to conquer the princess, he aimed to kill the two main characters because they had magic in their bodies and destroy a relic that could bring curses and chaos back to the kingdom, which was what he feared most because of the trauma of the past, and in the end he exploded a royal family, a lot of children, a friend from the prison and the two main characters.

Here are the names ideas that i had till now:

Otto > Hugo >> Gray > Tobias > Eliot >> Vincent > Xavier > Elias > Dallas > Ray >>>

I would appreciate it if you would give me your opinion on these names, like pick one, or name ideas that you think would best fit the character in your opinion.

Thoughts on the name Harper from a Canadian perspective

Is there too much association with the name Harper in Canada? My dilemma is that I love the name Harper for a little girl, but I’m worried about the association with ex Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Thoughts? Am I overthinking this?

Nickname for Eileen

I was going to make a long post about this but I’ll save that for another day because this is quite important.

For now, I know Lina and Isla are nicknames for Eileen.

I was wondering if Lila could be a nickname for it? This makes sense to me but I’m not sure if it’s too far fetched.

If not - can anyone think of any others? I love Lila and don’t think it’s too far fetched and I’m hoping I’m not wrong!

Nicknames for the name "Pedro"

I'm writing a fanfiction, and I need multiple Spanish nicknames for the name "Pedro." (Yes, it's an Encanto fanfiction.) Does anyone know of any? So far all I've been able to find is Pedrito and - possibly - someone suggested Pepe. I need at least five, preferably six. Thank you!
