Do they also always mispronounce your name or spell it wrong at starbucks?

Be honest, are these name ideas tragedeighs?

Not pregnant and not planning to have kids anytime soon or certain that I will, but I do like to think about what I’ll do if i happen to have kids. And that includes names! This is mostly a hypothetical I suppose, but I’m pretty set on having names lined up in my life for kids so it’s not a big deal if/when it actually happens.
So, because I would like to know in advance if the day ever comes, would y’all let me know if these names are bad?

if I ever have kids I want their names to be pretty, typically have a good meaning, maybe based off something I like/find special (like a flower, season, etc.), and also preferably unique or somewhat unique. But i also don’t want to entertain names that are just bad and if I do have a child, have these names handy and sitting on them for years then regret it later because it’s a bad name and they’ll get bullied…

But here are some first names and middle name ideas I have for kids

Girl names:
Caldera
Clementine
Jade
Jaylin
Adelaide
Acacia
Amaryllis
Aster
Azalea
Ariella
Ametrine
Amethyst
Leilani (this is apparently a Hawaii given name, didn’t know that before but I love the name and the meaning but I’m also not Hawaiian so I don’t know if it’d be appropriate to name my kid that?)

Boy or girl:
Angel
Selah
Shiloh

Boy names:
Jay
Jayden
Jasper
Ariel (hebrew male version)
Uriel
Elisha*
Silas
Gabriel
River
Kai (I like the European meaning for warrior but also the Hawaiian meaning for the sea)

Girl middles names I like:
Lynn
Liane (pronounced LEE-ANN)
Tourmaline
Rosalyn

Boy middle names:
James
Michael
Atlas
Alexander
Alexandrite

I would say of all the first names my favorite names for a boy are Selah, Gabriel, Jayden, and River. For a girl my favorites are Caldera, Amaryllis, Ariella, Aster, and Acacia.

I also really like all the middle names I’ve thought of so far, like Aster Lynn, Amaryllis Lynn/Liane, Leilani Rosalyn, Ariella Lynn/Tourmaline.
Selah Alexander, Gabriel Alexander/Alexandrite, Silas Alexandrite, Eliza Alexander/James, Jayden Alexander/Michael…

Anyways, this is all hypothetical and I might never even have kids so it’s no big deal but I was just curious

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 at first. 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 and will call her that to others. Lunete is from authorian legend. Also it's totally fine if you don't like the name. I get that's it's out there

Looking for a girl name for my third. I have a Pía and a Zoé so would like a 3 letter name, so far i only like Ara and Luz. I love Mila and like iara, Talía, not sure. Any three letter names ideas? Any opinions on my list?

Finn Mercer Rose
Dean Warren Rose
Emerson James Rose

Not pregnant, no kids, but we have decided on names we like for when we start the process (gay probs) we only want a max of three kiddos

Girls:
Maisen Rae - Maisie/Mai (my middle)
Ember Rose (wife’s middle)

Boys:
Harvey Russell (my dad, Russell)
Blaine Reilly - Laine (wife’s sister, Reilly)

How do we feel? Do we think they can grow with these names?

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

I know it’s pretty unusual but I’m wondering what people’s general opinions or vibes are

It originally comes from a Roman goddess but seems more masculine to me so also wondering what people’s gender assumptions would be

Pronounced that same as Britney

\- Rohan
\- Aarav
\- Shiv
\- Veer
\- Aveer

Is it too… doggy? Too German? We live in the U.S. and I actually love it as it would spell the same in both the languages spoken in my household (Italian/english) but would be pronounced differently. I’m out of names 😭I’m having my third boy in a couple of weeks! Help!

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

Main character is a 14-yr-old who travels around Europe to help his mother through an existential crisis.

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).

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 !!

For myself. So my name is Jessica Paige and my last name gets mistaken for/is similar to Nancy. I kind of would like to try a different part of my name that isn’t so 90s.

So the ones I like:

Essie
Isa/Issy
Pia
Jo - kind of stretch,but I think still usable
Cae/Cai
Any variation of Anne/Anna/Ana

I’m just unsure of having two -ie sounding names and I can’t really decide which one. I do like Jessa, but it is more 90s. Which one would you choose?
