I was thinking of examples of names like “Megan” that is pronounced “Meegan”, and I’ve also heard of someone named “Kate” but it’s pronounced “Katie”. Does anyone know of any other names that are similar? Thanks!

Hey! I cant tell my real name but for example, if my name is Samuel Jackson legally, can I use my mother's name, Tyson as a "T." in my middle name informally even if Im under 16, her ein Scotland, U.K?

I'm in my first trimester, I'm not sure if I should give my kid a middle name or not.

I have a boy name and girl name picked out for first names and tge baby will have a hyphenated last name with mine and my partners last names. (hyphenated last names start with T and then L... then T name is medium length, the L name is short but together its pretty long)

Boy Name Talen

Girl Name Amiah

Will the names be too long if I add a middle name?

First name Dimitri

hello!! my name is isabelle, but i have been thinking recently about shortening it to Sabel as a nickname. i'm curious, though, how this would typically be pronounced. is it like "say-bull" as in table, fable, etc. or would it be like "suh-belle" like the second half of Isabelle??

I’m looking for a masculine middle to go with Dylan. I’ve been thinking something that starts with an M but it doesn’t have to.

If you're not sure about giving your child an unusual name, take a listen to Dwayne Perkins and Kjell Bjorgen:

If you're not considering an unusual, check them out anyway.

As someone with an odd name, I think they're hilarious.

Would you associate this name to "evil" by pronunciation right away?

I need some cute baby girl/boy names that start with the letter “s” I’m Indian (Punjabi) and my partner is Mexican bonus points if there are any names that could represent both cultures

What are some names related to colours that aren't too on the nose?

Examples include Amber (a shade of orange), Violet (a shade of purple), Heather (a purple plant) or meanings such as Blanche or Bianca which both mean white.

Would love to see male names too!

Husband and I decided this poll will choose our final baby name. We've been too back and forth-- due anyday.

First name & last name if possible.

Or is it from a different origin. Just trying to prove a point to someone lol (they’re both girl names)

Hi everyone! I’m looking for cute sibling names (boy and girl) starting preferably with the letter J but I’m open to others. My partner is Persian so Persian names are welcome as long as they aren’t too hard to pronounce. I really like Jacob for a boy but that’s as far as I have gotten

Russell (nn Russ)

or

Bennett (nn Ben)

We love both and having a hard time deciding! It’s our first baby and possibly our only boy. Our last name is pronounced Rye - we didn’t think first name Carter (original third option) flowed as well with the r to R combo. Thoughts on your fav and why?

I think I’m going with the name Dakota for a girl. What middle names are nice?

I like gender neutral or maybe a girlier middle name.

I just can’t with the gen z names like McKinleigh, Tinseleighzyx

My husband and I are thinking of names for our second baby. We don't know the gender yet. Our son's name is Zion and I like the name Zoe but I'm not married to another Z name. I have no boy ideas at all. We are looking for ideas to help with the brainstorming process. Super excited to hear any ideas!

recently found that i have a relitive named "semen". hes dead tho so i dont think i should insult his name :\

edit: someone downvoted this XD. the curse of semen is now on you 🤣🤣🤣

this is just a silly post. dont be mad =)

I took a poll and all my name ideas literally got the same amount of votes. Please give me some feedback to help me pick. Husbands favorite is Holly but he like others too. The names (first with middle) are…

Holly Elana, Mable Jane, And Lola Ann

The middle names Elana and Ann are meant to honor grannies AngELA and AnNA.

Edit: Sounds to me that Holly Elana is the crowd favorite! I love it too. Mable is very polarizing, and there are lots of negative associations with Lola. Many like Elana as a first, but I just know I would call her Ellie or Lana because I shorten everything. Plus husband is not on board with elana as a fist.

My husband's Hispanic and I am white, I love how beautiful Hispanic female names are but I'm having trouble finding a boy name that we both like. My husband says that he doesn't care if it is Hispanic or not, but I would like something that maybe could fit in both worlds. Bonus if it's music related. (My girl name pick is Aria Celia after my musical background and his mother who passed away)

I like the name Jack because my husband's name is Juan. (Jack is sometimes associated with John.)

My short list... Elias Mateo Jack Logan

Prefer names starting with ‘S’. So far , we have thought about ‘Shaurya’ ,’Sahas’ ,’Shiv’

Character is in late teens and from Scotland/the UK.

Hi! Just got a kitten, it’s a female and she’s a white and grey fluffy kitten. She looks like a Siamese crossed with a long haired cat and we’re looking for a name. Our dogs name is Poncho so ideally something that would fit well with that.

No, no, it is not my child, don't worry. But, yeah...I am sorry, I know there are worse names, like Watermelondria, but...this just feels like an extremely weird name. But, for some reason, I think it is kind of cool. What do you think?

We have two boys & one girl already and are expecting a little girl in one month. They are named Killian, Silas, & Rita. I LOVE the names we have for our boys and, though they were hard to find, once we ran across them we knew they were a perfect fit. We waited for our daughter to be born before deciding on a name for her, and I honestly regret that because meeting her did not make it easier to name her. I like her name, but I sometimes feel it really doesn’t fit with our boys’ names.

That being said, we are looking for something that fits well as a whole.

Names we have considered are Rosalyn, Nellie, Evelyn, or Mathilda

I've always wanted my children's names to represent where their family came from Now it's especially important to me because I absolutely adore my grandmother in law and I really think she'd love seeing some of the culture she came from honored through our kids after putting in so much work to provide a good life for her future generations. I know plenty of names from my family's background obviously, in the end I hope to find names that are similar in both cultures or maybe find a way to blend some characteristics of names together to make it more original.

Edit:my last name is doe so I have decided on john and Jane doe

What are some pretentious, sophisticated, male names that would work for a good pseudonym? Something that sounds like an old white lawyer who is writing something that people would take seriously. Or from a classical novel. Unfortunately my name does not match this, so I’m creating a new one!
