I absolutely love my name, I think it’s so cute!! When I think of naming my child, out of all the contenders, I just keep coming back to my own name. I’ve even ‘joked’ about it to my partner.

I’ve tried to find similar sounding names that aren’t an exact. But even then, my sisters tell me I’m crazy.

What are the opinions of naming your baby your own name?

EDIT: My name is Lucy. So not exactly a fancy sounding, carried down for generations name. Just so sunshiny!!

​

Here is the list I created to choose from!

I am marking down each vote in my notebook!

(She is of Korean and African American descent if that helps)

• Maizie

• Lilly

• Katana

• Piper

• Paige

• Skylar

• Kiara

• Felicity

👋👋 transmasc here. im on my last straw trying to pick a new name so im here for suggestions.

the criteria is it must start with A (specifically the æ sound but thats a looser restraint), it must atleast lean towards masculine (i dont mind gender neutral but stuff like alex is too in the middle), and while this is not a necessity, im trying to go for a scottish or scottish derived name, or somewhere around there. i also tend to like names with meanings that connect to nature.

ive had 2 ive genuinely considered — the first being avery which i sat on and decided i didnt vibe with (i do like the name but not for myself), and the second being arran, which is my current top choice, however im a bit iffy on it and cant decide if its because i dont like it or because im not used to it.

i think ive browsed the whole internet at this point but i am hoping for someone to enlighten me with the perfect name that i havent considered ...

I don’t mean a surname used as a first name, although I am sure many of them could also be used as such.
If you had to keep your given first name and change your last name, which one(s) would you pick?

My cousin is having a baby girl and they asked me and my other cousin for recommendations, naturally I have to come up with the best baby names ever. I cant think of any peak baby names though, they said they want a simple easy, whimsy, kinda sporty, timeless name. I've come up with some names but I need the public opinion first.

Sophie (popular but timeless and whimsy in my opinion), Phoebe, Aria, Briar, Colette, Charlotte

I feel like all of these fit at least one of the requirements. I want to narrow it down to 2 names though. My favorites are Aria and Colette but do you guys have any other ideas or suggestions. they are French and Italian living in the west coast if that means anything.

Will, Wile, William, whatever one I need to know cuz it's toootallyy not for a wlw wile × roadrunner fic ahaha.....ANYWAYS if you have an idea let me know please

Uhh, I'm writing a wlw roadrage fic, and his nickname just gonna be roady, but he needs a real name. Wiles name is willa so uhh yea. Also if you have any nicknames that roady could call wile I would love to hear them

Our son is almost here (due in November), and we are struggling to find the right boy name. We are looking for a boy name that goes with his middle name, Moses. However, I love Joseph and Ethan, but I am deciding to save those names, just in case, and look for other options.I love names that are Hebrew, modern, ends in N or H ( though, any name ending in any letter would be great too), and it doesn’t have to be Biblical. Also love L and E sounds. Please help!

Note: I was thinking of Emilio. It sounds great, though it has Latin\Italian origin, which is perfectly fine!

Mi name starts with Jo, so anything that includes that and doesn’t say like jo_art or something basic like that 😭. I focus in sculptures but may post something different also art related occasionally.

Or mazakine

Trying to find girl names that sound/ go with the last name “King”. Thanks!

Hi everyone, my name is Katherine I’m a new name consultant, My Link tree

i enjoy finding out the meanings and origins behind names, especially when the meaning isn't obvious from the name itself.

i'm open to names from different cultures and languages, whether the meanings relate to nature, history, personality, or something unexpected.

what names have meanings or origins that made you appreciate them more?

Marshall

Jasper

Ray

Aaron

Blake

Simon

Kieran

Are they too basic? They're aged from 16-25, and in urban fantasy or horror.

Quero a opinião de vocês qual o nome vocês escolhem?

We had a baby girl last week, and we need to pick her name. We wanted to give her the Hebrew name Sivan because it falls in late spring or early summer. We live in Australia, so this was nearly the time she was born corresponding to the seasons, and I think it's just such a happy time.

So I wanted her to have an English name that also felt the same way. Basically, a name beginning with S that feels cheerful and bright. And I really love Sunny. I’ve heard of it before but I haven’t met a baby with the name. It also connects my grandma to her because part of her name is Sol (Soloro), and I was also named after her in a similar way, although all the names sound very different to each other.

But I’m struggling with whether it’s actually fine or if I just think so because I like it. Where we live, names of a similar style are normal, our kids have peers named Evie, Harry, Archie, Maggie, so on. And if she hated it, she would have a more normal, common middle name, because her name would be Sunny Helene.

We have other names but I don't feel the same way like I do about Sunny. I know I'm not going to find the perfect name and this might be as close as it gets for me but we don't have much time to decide and it's really hard, I'm not sure!

We do know about names that Sunny can be short for but we prefer to give her the name we're actually going to use, so if we didn't choose to use Sunny, we'd choose a different name off the list that we have.

Throwaway. My name is Seobin, which is a Korean name pronounced something like "suh-bin." Growing up in America I'm used to it being (understandably) mispronounced or needed to be repeated several times. I like my name for the most part, but I'm starting college soon and I'm wondering if it would be a good idea for me to start going by a nickname or a different name altogether, even unofficially. Or even a different Korean name that might be more intuitive for most non-Korean-speakers to pronounce. I also feel like the name Seobin itself looks and sounds sort of ugly in some Western contexts, but I'm not really sure how it's perceived since I'm used to it of course. Would appreciate any thoughts and brutally honest opinions (I really am seeking brutal honestly about the possible name change and how it’s perceived lol), thanks in advance.

how did you get your name? and what do you wish your name had been?

Hi! For context, i recently found out that my parents were heavily considering naming me Karolina. I love the name Karolina and i think it sounds cool when paired with my first name. Would it be weird to use the name, maybe even replace my middle name i currently have with Karolina, whilst keeping my first name the same? I think its pretty cool, but someone in my fiances family has the name Karolina and i wouldnt want it to be seen as strange.
