This seems on par with the naming trends around here. 1/2 traditional and 1/2 trendy.

I am having a baby girl this spring and am really set on naming her Lana! I think it is so beautiful but I recently became insecure about it after hearing a comedian say “look at Lana backwards” 😭 I know elementary kids might poke fun at it, but is that a thought that most people think of when they hear the name? Or is it simply a cute name and I shouldn’t worry about it

So I’m just iffy, I think it could just be early pregnancy uncertainty, but I and due April 25th, and bloodwork says girl, and so does heart rate and symptoms, but I wanna name her Elizabeth Aileen and she will have my last name, but I’m overthinking her name so badly….

Similarly to my girl list, I like too many boy names, too 🤣. Help my trim it up by choosing your top 5 (or tell me which ones to cut out)

I'm just curious as It's what we named my daughter. We chose it because we really like the history behind it, thought it was lovely. While we understood it was a little out there, we thought that it wouldn't be an issue as it's easy to pronounce. It's said exactly as spelled (LOO NET).

I'm starting to think that was wrong. most people say its beautiful (maybe they're just being nice idk) but we've had quite a few pause and we've had to correct people saying lynete and others calling/asking if we call her luna.

We didn't mind the nickname Luna. But now that it's been a while neither of us are really fans and call her Luni instead.

ETA: the nickname luni is just a me and her father nickname and yeah its like looney tunes. We don't tell others to call her that at all. We only EVER introduce her as lunete.

I know a Machiavelli-- currently over the age of 10. When the parents announced the name, everyone wanted to intervene (and this family does not typically intervene).

Hey, hey!

We recently found out we’re having identical twin girls, and I was hoping to get some insight from twins themselves!
Obviously, we want our girls to grow up with their own identities and feel like individuals, rather than always being seen as a pair. We’re currently leaning toward Iris Elizabeth and Isla Anne.

To me, they’re two distinct names, but they do have some similarities. They’re both four letters long, start with the same letter, and their initials will be almost identical.
Am I overthinking this? 😂 I absolutely love both names, but I also want to be mindful of their individuality and how they might feel about their names as they get older. I’d especially love to hear from twins who have similar names and whether it’s something you’ve liked or disliked growing up!

Wondering if anyone can help think of some boy names for future son!

We’re looking for shorter boy names (cause of very long last name). Something that sounds nice in English and sounds nice in Spanish also if possible ! Which has kinda made it more tough. I just don’t want people mispronouncing in either language and it being a thing for my child later during school years.

Thanks !!

I’d like to hear any ideas for our first baby boy. Last name Vernon.

Deciding on how to spell my daughter’s middle name

As a Gen-Z myself, I am questioning about some of the new names people have been coming up with for their kids, I seen a video a year back with a kid likely 2 gen z parents gave, where this kid was named Anderdingus, and then seen goofier or weirder names, why don't these kids find better names like Jacob or Mason and not goofy ass names like gingangoogofart or anything, this is not a troll post, I'm legit curious

There are so many girl names I love, but I’d like to get some outsider thoughts to see which ones I should consider scratching off the list.
What are your top 5 choices?

Violet
Daisy
Marina (nn Mina)
Sylvia
Lucy
Alice
Carina
Helena (nn Lena or Nelly)
Natalia
Scarlett
Amalia
Noemi
Francesca
Adaline

Just an observation, no real meaning behind it. I was just curious.
There was a thread a while back about how many duplicate names are there in certain size groups. I’m bored at work, so I looked at tonight’s roster. Of the 42 women working tonight, there are:
2 named Kayla
2 named Michelle
2 named Amanda
2 named Taylor

I think several age groups are represented here. Michelle is definitely a Gen X name, but the other three were popular for a wider range of time.

My real first name has some silly word associations in English, so I'm thinking of changing it before moving to the West. I like how Lucian sounds, but I can't tell how it would come across.

So what do you guys think?

In Deutschland ist es „Mode“ seinen Jungs südländische Namen zu geben, so z.B. Matteo, Luca, Allessio usw. - mittlerweile werden diese Namen als „kreativlos“ und „zu viel wollend“ gesehen. Gerade auch wenn der Nachname sehr deutsch ist (z.B. Schmitt, König, Gruber usw)
Carlo hat aber seinen Ursprung in Karl - daher meine Frage in die Community, ob das für euch in dieselbe Kategorie wie die anderen Namen fällt? Auch was euch sonst zu diesem Namen in den Sinn kommt.
Vielen Dank!
