I really like the name Jules but only as a nickname and me and my husband both want a 2 syllable name because our son has 2 syllables in his name and we wanted them to match. I like Maisie better than Julie but I like Jules as a nickname so I don’t know. My husband likes Julie better than Maisie, which one should we go with??

Our baby boy will be here tomorrow and we don’t have a name. We’ve been between Beau and Dean. Recently, we added Preston to the mix. Our daughter’s name is Vivienne. Please help!!

Hi I am having a girl and I am a hindu. I love the name Ivy but I just need some opinions if a hindu girl can be named Ivy or no. Whats the hindu meaning and all

My husband and I found out that we’re expecting another baby! Our first daughter is Charlotte Jean. She was born in July. Our second baby (we don’t know the gender yet) is also going to be due in July!

Any name suggestions that go well with Charlotte Jean? Boy and girl (although I have quite a few girl names picked out already)

We call our daughter Charlie, Charlotte Jean, Chuck, etc.

For example:
Kaitlyn, Kasey, Kayden... those are all just 'modernizing' a C name by adding a K. Names like Kevin, Kenan, Kelly... they don't look right if swapped with a C.

What is your best 'Only K' name?

Just found out I’m actually having a girl; after I was originally told boy lol! (Still wondering if I’m having twins, but that’s another story LOL).

I have Millie June Posy Ophelia (not big on triple syllable names) Lainey

I need UNIQUE, Vintage! Not like stand out stupid though

Struggling to choose between these 3 girl names, I LOVE a name beginning with A as myself and my sisters all have beautiful names beginning with A so I thought maybe I could start a tradition the only names I’ve seemed to like though are -Alaïa (a-lya) or can be pronounced (A-laya) -Amaïa (a-maya) Last name not being an A - Isabella ! Help !

I am getting married soon, and am considering hyphenating my last name. If I have a child after marriage, could I give my child either last name, or would I have to give them the full hyphenated name or the father's name?

I ask because I am the last of my family name, so I want to maintain the name. We are thinking if the child is born male we will give them my family name in hopes to carry the name for longer, but if they are born female we will give them my fiance's last name instead.

Also - is this crazy logic?

We have a 2 week old baby girl and are really struggling for a name for her.

We have a little girl, Aurora, and a little boy, Azure.

I think we would like for this girl's name to also start with an A, so would appreciate any suggestions. Bonus points if the name is celestial, color related, or unique.

My partner loves the names Astrid and Azrielle. I'm not keen on them.

My husband and I are having difficulty agreeing on names for baby boy due in early spring (second boy). we so far have 2 names we like but neither of us are sold. Ian and Rowen. what are your thoughts? Also open to suggestions. Husband loves Gaelic/Scottish/English names (his heritage) Im pretty much open to whatever.

Is it a highly religious name? I'm also curious on its orgins (I've only even heard the name in Hebrew orgins, and am wondering if its originally a jewish name, since my friend also happens to be Syrian)

Are the names too close/similar. My SIL and brother love the name Seraphina for their second child as they think it is beautiful and pairs well with their first baby’s name, but my SIL has a niece who is named Sapphire and wouldn’t want the names to be matchy. Are these names too similar?

EDIT: also would there be any suggestions for names you would have. So far Seraphina is the only name they have on their list as they just found out the sex of the baby a couple weeks ago. Older brother is named Malachi. While obviously both names have biblical overtones neither are super religious, especially my brother so sticking with biblical names isn’t important.

Hello! My husband and I are expecting our first child next spring! We have started the discussion on names. Girl names have been very easy for us as we have the same name taste, boy names on the other hand have been very difficult…so far the only boy name we’ve agreed on is Sutton (Sonny). Our child will have two middle names like I do. We’ve decided on one middle name as it is a family name but need ideas for the other middle name! Sutton __ Douglas

Names I like: Reid, Silas, Forrest, Gideon, Arthur, Roman, Atticus, Otto, Simon, Winston

Names he likes: Zev, Roxten, Jaxton, Marvin, Greyson, Barrett

I am feeling tested, in my opinion most boy names that I have combed through are so basic or overused or boring to me, & on the other hand, trying to find a name that’s a little unique & off the beaten path is also hard because there is NO in between. It’s either boring or TOO unique.

The 3 names that I do like so far are: Asa (pronounced Aye-Suh) Brigham (pronounced brig-um) Briggs for short & Silas.

My 5 year old son’s name is Elam so it is a unique name as well without being toooooo crazy.

Can someone add some names to my list that are a little unique but not weirdly unique & also no names that are typically overused where I live…like Waylon, Jayden, Jackson, etc. nothing wrong with these names just looking for something different. Thank you!

I thought of naming my daughter Aadhya or Alvira. Since I wanted my husband's input as well, I asked him. He mentioned that he would like an "S" in her name as a reminder of his late mother. I agreed to that. His relatives suggested that, based on her star sign, her name should start with "H." So, I considered "Hita Shri." However, now he feels it sounds too common and wants something more unique. He then suggested "Divisha," as it includes the initials of his parents, D and S, along with his own initial, A.

I'm now feeling a bit uncertain about this name, so I'm looking for a unique Indian girl’s name that includes the letters A, S, and D. If anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to share!

Live in Canada my son’s name is Leonardo but we typically just go with “Leo”.

Due with baby girl - how do we feel about the name Liviana but “Liv” for short?

Also thinking of giving her my grandmothers name as a middle does Liviana Blanche work?

Thanks for the help!

My husband loves the name Rowyn for our daughter, I love the name Rory. My husband had the idea of naming her Rowyn on the birth certificate but calling her Rory, that way if she later wants to go by Rowyn when she’s older she can.

I'm currently pregnant with my first baby. The names that have gotten to the top of our list are both from the same 00s YA book. One name is well known and most people won't know it's from that book, but the second is rarer and is also in the book title.

Is that weird? Does it make us seem like huge fans of the books (I like them and husband has read them too, but we're definitely not diehard fans - I haven't even seen the movie adaption).

If you google the names together, the book is the main thing that comes up.

As an example, the name could be Arthur Bartimaeus and the book The Bartimaeus Trilogy (it's not that, it's kind of hard to find an example).

Okay, I get the two things I put in the title are very far from each other buuut I have no idea how else I would describe this bunch of names. For instance, Keisha (the original name but I decided that I hate it now), Danilo (if only my character was a male then perhaps. I got this name from a priest at school lol), Heath (sounds earthy ifywim), Arabella (would love this if only this wasn't the same name as my seatmate), Isabel (something seems out of place. Doesn't really fit well), Lolita (surely it's obvious), Marcelline (unfitting but could be), Aaseiyah (taken from my worse nemesis), Durden (brad pitt)

Uh so a lot of these are names I like. Yeah. Fil-Am btw means Filipino-American. Just english names that Filipinos use. I feel and just know this is a bit difficult and hyper specific but help out a stranger will ya? By Hebrew btw, just some biblical names. Would've helped if I finished the Bible but eh, Catcher in the Rye is lowkey better. I'm looking for something Edwardian. And if it helps, the novel is set in a dystopian continent where Euro bros get kicked out of their land bc god said so and now stole land from the asians. All righty, I can't wait to see the names. Stay safe, live happily. This is getting too long

hi im a transman and im looking for a new name. preferably masculine although unisex names are welcome. any other boy names with alternative meanings are also good.

hope the information is adequate for such a short paragraph

I’m having twin boys and I want to name them after my husband’s father and my mother’s middle name. Names are Joy and Joaquin.

Hi! So I'm thinking of changing my name but I want to get people's opinions of what name fits me, just in case I choose a name that doesn't suit me at all. Please give me the first name that comes up to mind ! <There are two photos> https://imgur.com/a/WfIw8tf

I’ve had thoughts about transitioning ftm (I’m not 100% sure, this is just in case) and I am struggling to pick out male names that flow with my last name, Ozturk. I am Australian but my dad is Turkish and my mum is Bosnian. I would prefer non religious names, as I am an atheist. I would prefer that the name has some sort of Turkish roots, so it goes well with my last name.

here’s my list! PS i especially struggle finding BOY names that fit together with these picks:

• Ramona
• Geneva
• Alice
• Lydia
• Eugene
• Daria
• Velma
• Janine
• Vera
• Simon

thank you guys! i adore this thread

Due a boy in 2025 and struggling with a name!!! Siblings are Lachlan and Kiera

ive always thought about changing my name. my name common but not like uncomming but its super old. i was thinking about changing it to the traditional spelling because i know the language (more or less) and i prefer it but i dont know its worth it??? my parents tell me theres no point because ill have to declare it on every form ever but i just straight up dont like my birth name. plz give suggestions! *its like the equivalent of elizabeth or margaret in oldness**

Two names already on my radar are, Helios/Elios and Apollo. I'm trying to find something that suits him (hes a smaller orange and white tiger stripe), but no matter where I look nothing seems quite right. I'm not in a huge rush to name him or anything, but I was hoping some people here can give me some good ideas!

Put your votes in, we love both! Would love to get some more opinions 😀

Husband is dutch and I am spanish our first daughter is called alessandra and we cannot come up with a fitting name for baby number 2 that

1- sounds the same in english spanish and dutch

2- is not spanish specific or dutch specific, we are considering italian/greek as they tend to be pronounced the same in most languages with little variations.

Husband is set on isabella, and sofia but where we live seems to be the go to names for multi cultural children where we live, which is why I don’t prefer it.

We both like Stella and Ella but worry it sounds too much like the short version of alessandra. Thoughts?

She came with the name Cookie but we're not fans. We're leaning towards something more pet-name and not on the human-name trend (Bella, Sophie, etc), although not strictly (our last dog was named Annie). Something like Darby is cute. But open to hearing anything.

She's a medium-sized dog, kind of a Border Collie-Australian Cattle Dog mix. Almost all white with brown patches over eyes and a big spot on her back. Huge ears and hazel eyes. Very sweet tempered and smart.
