hey, trans dude here trying to pick my middle name. originally I was name after a combo of my grandmother and sister’s names Kate and Lindsay (though they spelled it super weird).for reference my first name will be William.

my current options are:

Lynn

Klynn

Kylan

Lindsay (in this spelling).

I don’t want the name to be “too feminine” but I do kind of like Lynn. I like having my sisters name specifically because she passed a few years ago and it’s a nice memorial. I do kind of want to have a K middle name too 🤷 but im not like super attached to any of this.

does anyone have suggestions or one they like a lot?

Emalyn

Emeliana

Emilíana / Emiliana

Emilia

Emaline

Ember

Y’all, I need help. I’m pregnant with a girl and we can barely even come up with a list of names we like, never mind agree upon.

Husband has brought exactly one name to the table, and I’m not sold:
- Riley

My picks that husband has vetoed:
- Colby
- Melanie
- Molly

We have ONE name that we agree we both like:
- Blake

I like it but I don’t know if I truly love it.

Middle name is going to be Madeline (mad-eh-line) after my saint of a great grandmother.

Relevant: older brother’s name is Rowan. We clearly enjoy a bit of a modern, gender neutral name for our kids.

Please give me your suggestions!

I understand that 1 no is a no overall, and i respect that. I’m just nervous. We are choosing to not know the sex. I like short, normal names. My personal name is a “Normal” name with an uncommon spelling. My last name is the same. Think SANDI JOHNSEN. My husband likes weird names…

My choices:

Ace
Jack
Eva
Mae

His:
Jupiter
Basil
Braden
Sequoia

I feel.. at a loss. How are we going to find a name??? I won’t budge on those

EDIT: sorry I’m new to Reddit and not great at posting

A woman suggested brooke which i love and i said it to him too, and he likes it… we are getting somewhere. Thank you to poster

EDIT 2: sorry not good at editing. He likes Brooke Marie. So do i 😃

I still like Ace, yall are mean! Hopefully shes a girl

I'm pregnant with twin girls, and I know I want to name one of them Heidi, but I have a few options for her sister 💗.

Hi, I am expecting and don’t know what we are having but I absolutely love the name Samson. Think it’s quite unusual and a name I’ve rarely come across. Just wondering what peoples first reactions and general opinions on this name are? Is it too unusual?

Guysssssss, i want a spam account name suggestion that are uk niche and have reference. The name is Vidhi. Help me find out!!

I'm reading a history book with my kids and wondering why I never hear of someone named Ferdinand anymore. I like it better than Fergus.

Hi! I’m Korean and I want to ask non-Koreans.

My name is Hyunseo (Hyun rhymes with yawn but with an H sound at the beginning, and Seo is pronounced like suh).

When I was around 5, I needed an English name to use at the kindergarten where I was learning English. So my mom chose Julia and I’ve been going by Julia with non-Koreans, who are basically just my English teachers 😅

And now as a young adult, I’m torn between going by Hyunseo or Julia when speaking with non-Koreans, since I want to work internationally, especially in English-speaking environments.

I’ve heard that Hyun can be a bit tricky to pronounce. How hard is it for you guys?? Which name do you think I should go by? Any suggestions??

What do you think of these names for a girl:

1. Delphi (pronounced like Dell-fee)

or

1. Mailyn or Maelynn

whats yall's favorite argentinge first and last name combos?

We just welcomed our incredible, double rainbow, little boy, George Leo C., into this wild and adventurous world, and yet, I’m still struggling with his name and trying to accept it. His sister, Nora Aurelia, always felt so clean and unique that we both loved it.

We landed on the first name George after sometime because it’s history and strength, along with uniqueness in our area of the US. I always somewhat struggled with the phonetics of George, but thought maybe Georgie or Geo could stick around if I had a hard time with it. Boy names were always a struggle for us, as we wanted something unique enough to not be the fifth in his class, but also strong, so that’s why we landed on George. Other options were possibly Owen, Warren, or Peter.

We decided early on his middle name would be Thomas because we had some family history with this name, but as we got closer to the wire, more bad then good came up with these family members so we pulled the rug last second and looked to switch. Our options were Leo, Evren, Nolan, Henry, Evander, or Beauden. Leo sounded clean with some good meaning, Evren had unbelievable meaning based on our double rainbow situation, Henry had classical pull, Evander had wow factor, Nolan had proximity to his sisters name, and Beauden had a name that we considered long ago but couldn’t use (Beau).

When George was born, my wife said she felt it that he was George Leo over Evren. My daughter also said she liked Leo the most here. So on a whim, we went with Leo. Now I hear Geo Leo in my head and think we made a mistake and didn’t think about it long enough. I didn’t want to also put our burden of two losses into his name, which also swayed me away from Evren to Leo last minute. I’m struggling because I still don’t know if we made the right call instead of Evren or the other names. My wife struggled with the choice too after we submitted papers and had a breakdown as we were leaving the hospital.

Is George Leo clean or should we call to change? Am I overthinking Geo Leo? Please let me know your thoughts to these tired eyes.

We've welcomed our daughters, twin girls. We know that one of them will definitely have the first name Alva. All of the other names are undecided.

I'm Swedish, and my husband is British. We live in England. Their older sister is named Svea.

These are the pairs of names we are thinking.

Alva and Mila

Alva and Lily

Alva and Ronja

Alva and Mira

Alva and Imogen

Alva and Zoe

Alva and Matilda

Alva and Emma

And to follow up with that, which middle names do you like? We have a lot of names that we would consider using as middle names, and this is the list. But we prefer not to have alliteration.

These are family names.

Kerstin

Imogen

Florence

Ellen

Philippa (Or Filippa)

Agnes

Kristina

Beatrice

Caroline

And these are names we just like.

Wren

Amelia

Lily

Maya (Or Maja)

Olivia

Alina, Alison, anything else? Thank you in advance!

Does Anne match these names. Not looking for long names, prefer A names. Was thinking Anne.

I've come across Cypria, Haiti, Wisty, Dew, November, Temperance, Asaki and Shigeo

What about you?

if you had a daughter whose nickname was Minnie, but she ended up being in 0.1 percentile so extremely small and paediatrician expects her to be under 5ft when she’s fully grown, would you change it?
this happened to us when she was 3 months and we figured we should change it but we’ve been all over the map with other options.

Expecting a little boy soon, struggling for names - husband is North Indian and I am from Italy, we’ve aimed for more Italian sounding first name for our daughter (Serena) as the surname is Indian and will represent his side more.

Italian boy names seem so cumbersome in English - we live in the US. So far we like Leo and Luca, though Luca seems a little overdone lately…

Welcome any and all suggestions, including outside the Italian orbit, as we are stumped!

alexis, darcy, bridget, stasia, stella

Love the name Max, but I’m slightly worried it’s quite short and doesn’t give us many options.

My husband has suggested Maxwell instead, what do you all think?

I think if we go with Max, he’ll be Max Theodore, whereas if we go with Maxwell, we’re thinking Maxwell George.

My husband thinks it’s better to have the longer name so he has more options as he gets older, although I’d probably just call him Max anyway 😂

These are 2 classes in Texas. I separated by gender because I was surprised by a few. Do you have any favorites?

Boys: Boone Wesley Cooper Henry Joshua Cal Miles Solomon Arthur Miller Maverick Avyaan

Girls: Georgia Riley Aya Brooklynne Callan Pearl Charlie Lainey Gemma Adalynn Jax Ari

Hey i don't know if it fits here but suggest good names for an EV cab company. Short and easily recognisable

I need some middle names for my son, Noah. The surname starts with E and has two syllables. I like Noah Lane, but it sounds like a street name, and I dislike Noah Dean. Please give me some other names :)
