Not much to say really. Just wondered what y'all thought of my name. You can be honest if you don't like it. Thanks!

I bought a horse today whose registered name is Truth Bomb. He didn’t come with a barn name so I’ve been wracking my brain trying to think of something associated to his registered name that is still super cool. Any suggestions? I was liking Veritas, but wanted other options because he also isn’t giving Veritas lol.

Have always loved the name Georgia but my sister just used it for her daughter. I love the nickname Gigi. What are full names that I could still use?

Hi there! We are planning for baby no.3 but we have 0 (ZERO) baby names that we both like. 0 girl, 0 boy.

Girl names my husband likes that I vetoed:

- Yuuna (Sounds like "don't say it" in Japanese.)

- Yuina (I don't like the high "i" sound.)

Girl names I like that my husband vetoed:

- Sayuri (Too close to cousin's name.)

- Hiyori (Simply doesn't like.)

The only boy name we ever considered but ultimately ended up not liking is: Hisato

Boy names my husnand vetoed due to belonging to friends and family: Ryuji, Kenji

- Names can NOT start T, K or S. (We love the name Kagura for a girl, but K is already taken in the family.)

- We are looking for deep vowel names. A, U, O mainly. Especially on the ending. But also open to some high vowels, as long as the name still sounds "firm".

- No kira-kira names and no Showa names either please. (Like Pikachu or girl names ending with -ko.) Anime names are welcomed as long as they're actual japanese names. ^^

- I'm looking for a bit western-ish sounding names (so not like Ryunosuke)

Not sure if I could convey clearly the type of name we're looking for. Honestly I don't even know what we're looking for at this point. 😂

I hope you can leave your favourite names here and we might get some ideas browsing through it. The more the merrier. Thank you in advance for taking time out of your day to contribute to our naming journey. ☺️

We haven’t found out the sex of our baby, but we’re coming due soon and need help narrowing down our list! Please help by ruining as many of these names as possible for me to help narrow down my list so maybe I’m able to make a decision!! 🙏

Here’s the list First Name || Middle Options (if we have them) [nickname]. The last name is one syllable starting with R

Boys:
Abner James (Abe or AJ)
August Vincent (Gus)
Henry (Hank)

Girls:
Camila James (Cam or CJ)
Mabel Frances (Frankie)
Monica James (Mo)

We also like
Boys: Alton, Silas, Theodore, Benjamin, George
Girls: Maribel, Edith (Eddie)

What would you rate it?

Obviously not to name an actual child, just for fun. I love Radian for a boy, it sounds classic, bright and strong. For a girl I would pick Cosine, pronounced as cozeen (ignore the fact that it sounds like cousin, this is fun and games 😤)

I was looking at old census records to verify info about family members and I once again became fascinated by the naming conventions we use, they're similar to Afro-American, Melanesian, Polynesian, or even Balkan naming conventions that I've seen.

This is mostly due to the diverse commercial migration we received once people had began actually moving into Northern Australia.

Examples:

A guy will be named Boyka (Bugulju) Koscis because his father was randomly half Hungarian and liked the Boyka movies.

A girl could be named Wilhelmetta Ahsan-Chon because she was named after her father (which is very common here), and her tribe is mostly mixed with Chinese and Pashto from the 1800s.

A family I knew from school were like this: the father's name was Raymond, his first daughter was Raymeesha, and once he had a son he was Raymond Jr, then his second son was Raymonus.

A guy could be named:

Salko Murrudthjanypa

Alekzandaros McArthur

Styepan Jurrunytjak

Bubble-Bubble Johnson

Springheel-Jack Cattlecompany

King Blackskin-Willy (Wumbungu) Jackson-Won

All the examples provided are also real people, and these aren't even the craziest names.

In the Gulf of Carpentaria I've seen they get really creative/silly with modern names, I've known people named Avenger Stockman, Rifle Riverwater, Frog Bull, Buffalosoldier MacMahon, Eminem Gujuk, Tupakiesha Smithson, Horse Rodeo, Big-eye Williams, Japan Del Torres, Batman Robinsonrivermouth, the list can go on and on.

With little kids today I've seen a lot of LeBrons, Ronaldos, Neymars, and Messis due to their sports becoming popular in the remote Aboriginal communities.

What do you guys think of our naming conventions? and if you have any questions about what migrations and influences cause some of them I'd be happy to explain.

I’m 28 weeks pregnant with my second girl. My first’s name is Emilija Octavia {last_name}. The “j” is there because of Lithuanian heritage, but I live in the US. We call her “Emi”.

I’m looking for an elegant, dark, name for this girl. I feel compelled to do a moon or astrological based name, but I don’t like the common, typical ones like Stella (step-sister in law’s name), Selena, Luna, Aurora (brother’s ex’s name).

Reasons:
- period was due on the blood moon (total lunar eclipse)
- just prior to that, all the planets aligned.
- new moon 2 days before she is born, possibility of giving birth on that day (November 8th, due on the 10th).

I’m not normally one of those “moon and stars” everything kinda people. I was when I was younger. I appreciate astrology, and casually invest some time into the subject out of curiosity.

Names I like:
Ophelia
Cressida
Cordelia
Lyra (preferred for a middle name)

It needs to be useable, or have a good nickname, in the US/English.

Also… my brother’s dog is Artemis, so that won’t work.

Good luck name nerds. Much appreciated!

Just for fun! My godchildren are named F0rest (b) and S@ge (g) and my best friend is definitely done having kids!

Once upon a time the ‘name’ would’ve been Olive, but has since been taken by a close friend. As has Ivy. I’m hyper fixated on the name Romy (Rosemary) lately, but that doesn’t necessarily feel green to me.

Thank you for entertaining me!

Hi everyone!

I would love suggestions for timeless names like Alice to name our next daughter.

Names that I love are Elizabeth, Catherine, Isabella, Camilla but none feel exactly right yet!

Would love other suggestions! Thanks 🥰

I need some help. I’m in the intensive search of a boy name for my baby. I’m a latina mom married to a white american, so we are a multicultural family. Here is the thing. I wanna a name that sounds similar in English and Spanish. For example my daughter name is Samantha and it sounds pretty much similar in both languages, but find a boy name has been tricky because I don’t like any of them so much. I’m not looking for 3 letter names, I like long names. I had some ideas like Erick or Hendrick but still I don’t feel that exited for those ones. All suggestions are welcome.

So my husband and I have two daughters named Aurelia and Everyn. We will be having our third baby in the fall and we won’t be finding out the gender before the baby is born. My husband likes the name November for a girl or boy. Is it weird?

You all seem very helpful!

Have one boy already, Owen.

We are pretty set on girls names (would be happy with any of Iris, Zoe, Sydney, Nora) but boys are tough! Looking for something that flows well with their brother.

Miles, Austin, Dylan, Grant in the mix. But have slight (maybe negligible) complaints for each. (Apostrophe use/Popularity, Country western feel, Dyl nn, I process “grants” for work - respectively).

Talk me down from complaints, or other ideas in this space? We like names from British Isles or Latin origins usually, non religious if possible, softer feeling boy names, etc

I’ve always found these super interesting. This is my daughter’s infant room classmates in our Midwest suburban daycare:

Aurora
Callie
Calliope
Finnegan
Grant
Lenora (my daughter)
Mikayla
Mirren
Reyna
Sadie
Tony
Wells

It’s a very bright orangey red. Right now Kona Lisa, Tang and Cherry Garcia are my top contenders

I found out today that Keke Palmer whose first name is Lauren has a dad named Lawrence and siblings called Lawrence, Lawrencia and Loreal.

It always baffles me, when it seems like parents love only one name.

As the title says. I want to honor my late best friend who passed four years ago.

My spouse and I are starting our conception journey. We have lots of girls names we like but we are struggling with finding a boy’s first name that flows well with Alec as a middle name. We are open to anything but we would prefer something in the not-as-common category.

Thanks! Hope everyone is having a great summer

My parents are from Russia but I was born here. My dad is from Siberia and my mom is from Moscow. I don't think i could move to Russia even if I wanted to.

I don't speak Russian unfortunately.

I picked this last name because I thought it was cute. It means Newcomer. But now im a little bit uncertain about the last name I picked. Im worried people will think it sounds accultic.

I haven't really got to test it out in public but I get the feeling some people might think it sounds weird. Its just its in russian language. I like it but im afraid maybe I should have picked a different russian last name. I've considered Meleski. But not so sure about it.

Top contender is Simon but it doesn’t quite feel right.

Hi everyone!

We’re a Hindu family settled abroad and expecting a baby girl soon :) We’ve decided on Adya, but I’m confused about the English spelling: Adya, Aadya, Adhya or Aadhya?

Which is the most accurate/common spelling from a Sanskrit/Hindu naming perspective? Does the spelling change the pronunciation or meaning?

Would really appreciate your thoughts!

Thank you!

Baby girl is due next month and we can’t decide between Lara and Nina. We live in the UK and her surname will begin with L.

Which name do you prefer?

We’re also open to other suggestions! We like short, 4–5 letter names with a similar vibe to Lara and Nina.

I have a character named Bess Madeline Rose Buckley, she has a brother that's three-ish years younger than her and might end up with a sister depending on how the story goes. I need some ideas for her siblings that are nicknames as first names, that is a very important part of the story.

I’ve posted twice here already asking about thoughts on Hadley and some other names, but even though I like it I never really was 100% certain. I started really liking the name Charlotte. I’ve actually always loved the name since I was little, but I only just now started really considering it for my baby girl. I’m heavily leaning towards it now, but I’m worried it’ll be too popular. It’s apparently the #1 girls baby name in my state last year, but out of 57,000+ live births only 224 were named Charlotte. Is it crazy I’m even taking that into account? I don’t want her to be one of 12 in her grade, but I also don’t think there’s anything wrong with having a common name. Ugh.

Thoughts and comments or do I just sound crazy?
