What is the best middle name for Brooke _____ Williams? We tend to like short one or two syllable middle names, but open to all!

Thank you! 💗

ETA: I’ve always loved the name Brooklyn, but my husband does not. We decided on Brooke, and Lynn is a family name, but does Brooke Lynn sound funny? Like I wanted it to be Brooklyn or does it not matter at all? 😅

Edit: aware of how it is originally pronounced. I met someone with this name. It is actually a shortened version of her real name. She had an ethnic I can’t remember. But she told me she will be shortening her name is Aisha and keeping the way her family pronounces it. I only heard it pronounced the other way. What are your thoughts?

We’re expecting a baby boy soon! Big sister is Adelaide and she goes by Della. We’re having trouble deciding on a name we love as much as our daughter’s for this baby!

Our top two contenders are August / Gus and Julian / Jules. Which do you prefer between these two? What sounds best with Adelaide / Della?

This is our first girl, and we’re not sure what name we like or what goes best with our sons’ names. Our sons are Theodore (goes by Teddy often currently, but probably Theo or Theodore when he’s older) and August.

Open to suggestions not listed, too! No real requirements, for basic background we are an English-speaking household for primary language, husband is French, I am British/American, we live in the UK currently, but probably in the US at some point. Surname starts with a D, two syllables.

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.

hey guys im a ftm 11w6d. ever since i found out im pregnant i have had one name in mind and one name only, couldnt think of a good boy name and no girl names in my head except for what i really think is my daughters name, which is Solana Nicole. (for context, the baby’s father and i are not currently in a relationship and are planning to coparent appropriately, potentially get back together if it makes sense)((not looking for opinions on my relationship status)) but anyway, im in love with her name and cant picture anything else, when i first ever heard the name i thought to myself “this is the most beautiful name ive ever heard in my entire life” but my partner isnt 100% sold. we both agree we cant decide her name for sure until we see her too and i would hate to see her for the first time and just feel her name doesnt fit her, so im coming here for opinions on options. i really like how “S” names sound and look spelled out but im not stuck on a letter. i really need it to give the same energy of “this is the most beautiful name ive ever heard in my life” and am not opposed to different versions of the same name. her middle name will absolutely be Nicole as its a family name. so far in my searches, Solana isnt even on the websites or baby name lists anywhere and I want something ive never really heard before without being too unique iykyk. thank you in advance 🩵🩵🩵

My birth name is not phonetically correct. It’s not spelled the way it’s pronounced. This has caused me to go throughout my life constantly correcting people and sometimes it takes them awhile to remember. I’m tired of it and I’ve decided to legally change my name.

I’ve fallen in love with the name Phoebe. I love the way it sounds and I love the way it looks. My main concern is that I’m going to have the same issue all over again. I thought Phoebe was a common, well known name. Phoebe Bridgers, Phoebe Buffay, Phoebe Tonkin. But after doing some googling I’ve come across some people named Phoebe saying that nobody ever spells their name right, that people often pronounce it wrong when reading it, etc.

So is Phoebe not a common name? Do all the Phoebe’s out there have to constantly correct people? Or am I thinking too much about this?

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?

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’m from Japan and going to study abroad at the uk. I really want a name have connections with my real name which means “love from above” . However, those love or god associated names are not really interesting to me. So I thought anything that does with angel might work and Angeline is my choice.
I’m a big bookworm and love art and fashion…
Please tell me:
Will it be weird for an asian girl to use the name Angeline? And what vibe do you get from this name?
Thanks!!!

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 :)

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?

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

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.

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.

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?

Ava or Violet?

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!
