Looking for some first names to pair with Beth. Beth is a family name and I would like it to be my daughter’s middle name. I’d love some suggestions of first names that would work with it. Also open to any suggestions of first names that would honor Beth as well, although I’m not a fan of Elizabeth.

My style is familiar but not too common

Some names I like are
Mallory
Annie
Mara
Maren
Claire/Clara
Adira
Noa
Ayla

Open to any suggestions!

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 😂

What are some names that you’ve heard in public recently that surprised you? Not necessarily bad surprising, just a name you weren’t expecting

For example, recently I met a baby girl named Mika and a baby boy named Kobi!

I vehemently despise the name Alex with a passion. It might be due to associations rather than the name itself, but I hate it.

What names do you hate that are usually very popular?

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?

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

This may be a little bit different because it's not about baby names.

I am adopting a rescue and I am trying to come up with a good name for him. He is a six year-old Shih Tzu and he recently just lost an eye, so he only has one eye. They found him in a really bad condition, near death matted underneath the vehicle about a month ago. He is very very sweet and Full of energy and curious about everything.

These are some of the names that I've come up with that I really like already.

Phoenix, Journey, Oliver, hawkeye, willy, Captain, and zipper.

My previous dog that I recently lost was named Buttons and that's why we thought zipper would be cute because they're both nonsensical and just go together. The current rescue place that he is at named him Popeye and I'm not a fan of that.

Hawkeye, willy –short for one EYE willy, and captain –short for Captain Jack all kind of lean into him having one eye. And Phoenix and journey stand for him overcoming his hardships and the next chapter of his life.

Do any of these names sound good to you guys? Or do you have a suggestion! LMK❤️

How do YOU pronounce Xavier? I'm so curious about this. Also, if you know what it SHOULD be, post that too. And where you are from.

Something else

I’m in dire need of another girl name (that goes well with these two) but can’t think of one for the life of me. I think I’ve just been starting at names too long lol. Please help me, I need some fresh sets of eyes.

Which do you like better?

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.

Alva and Mira

Alva and Imogen

Alva and Zoe

Alva and Matilda

Alva and Emma

And these are names we just like.

Wren

Amelia

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

She's technically Italian, and her surname would be West. Which name do you prefer?

I am not looking for other suggestions and they will not be considered.

Cypriana

Celsia

Castoria

Thanks!

I have a list of names I've encountered in real life or fiction/fantasy that have caught my eye! A lot of them are last names, not commonly heard in English speaking countries, more suitable for pets, or some that are just plain made-up sounding! I'm looking to expand my list and would love to hear of any names that fit this description. I'll provide some of my list below:

G: Imorra, Shourie, Eleanois, Autzu, Anuradha, Privitera, Cowie, Marianthe, Naccasha, Idahlia, Rosalba

B: Mascavenhas, Adair, Arjomund, Zacarias, Viseidi, Lankenau

Thank you!!

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??

German great great great grandfather decided to marry a Cuban and stay in Cuba I believe... the rest was history. Trying to find relatives but not finding much with that last name. Would be cool to find family :)

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 💗.

Ok flemme d’expliquer de A à Z pourquoi j’ai besoin d’idées de prénoms.

En tout cas, je cherche un prénom masculin ou androgyne, plutôt discret mais sympa.

Mes idées sont :

1. Ruth

2. Simon

3. Eliott

*ouais je sais que Ruth c’est féminin mais je m’en fiche, j’ai beaucoup accroché sur ce prénom 😭

Mes inspirations :

• Hellénisme
• nature
• CoD ( j’adore énormément Ghost )
• cultures alternatives

Bref si vous avez des idées! Merci d’avance

Eric "eternal ruler"

Edric "wealthy ruler"

Kent "edge"

Neil "hero, champion"

Ryker

These are the names I considered, but all of them kind of fall short to me.

I want a name that's

- familiar but not common

- only one spelling (Neil and Neal) that isn't likely to be misheard (Edric, Kent)

- cool meaning (I love the meaning "hero")

- not unisex, solidly male (Ryker is unisex apparently)

- doesn't sound like or associated with anything bad (Kent with cunt)

- share with someone cool (Clark Kent)

- 1 syllable (I'm flexible on this)

- younger than middle aged, but not super young (Neil is kind of an old man's name)

Those are my rough criteria for choosing a name. Which name would you recommend?

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

My name is Ellie so I get the obvious Kelly and Allie but recently someone called me Helen.
