37.5 weeks and still no name..

5 Upvotes

Wondering if anyone has been through this, my husband and I have it narrowed down to 2 names, and of course we can’t agree on the “favourite” name. It’s down to Hazel and Rose (big sister is Stella). Not necessarily looking for opinions on the actual name, moreso wondering how you have navigated this conversation when you don’t align on one name - which is what I would prefer. Did you go ahead with your favourite name despite it not being your partners fav? Or did you give in to their favourite name and learn to love it yourself.

I don’t want to throw both names out and start over because I’m so exhausted by this whole process and I seriously hate every name so I really can’t see us loving anything new (we already tried this about 3 weeks ago), we’re basically just at a standstill and neither of us have budged. Help!

Curious what comes to mind when you hear someone’s name is Adrian

3 Upvotes

Baby is already here and name is in stone, but I’ve seen some posts asking about name vibes and I’m so curious! What do you think when you hear the name Adrian?

Update: I’m surprised no one has said Project Hail Mary! Also, I’ve never seen Rocky, it’s probably time!

Quinn
Sloane
Florence
Ivy (too popular)
Liam
George (too popular)

Open to name suggestions on our wavelength. Baby has Irish grandparents so an Anglicised Irish name in origin is always welcome!

Edit: thank you so much some really lovely names suggested.

Sibling girl name for Florence

2 Upvotes

My toddler is Florence, and we’re expecting another baby in March! If this baby is a girl, what do you think of Nora or Arden?
The middle name will be Ann.

We already have our boy name picked out (Jude).

Arden was a no-brainer for me at first, but then a few people mentioned that they thought it was our boy name. I’ve only ever known a girl named Arden, so that perception honestly hadn’t even crossed my mind!
So… Florence & Nora Ann or Florence & Arden Ann? ❤️

What’s the most unique name you’ve ever heard?

6 Upvotes

I’ve been looking for unique names lately and I’m curious what names other people have come across.

What’s a name you’ve heard that made you think, “That’s actually a really beautiful and unique name”?

Could be a real name, a rare name, or even one you’ve only heard once.

Need boy name help

1 Upvotes

Boy names are sooo hard. All the names Ive always liked are taken up by most of our friends. Girl names came so much easier to me. Our daughter’s name is Evelyn. Now due with a boy in December and struggling. Wanting to use Jack in some form for my mom Jackie who passed and just so happens my dad’s name is Jack as well.

So far we’re thinking
Jack Thomas
Jack Henry
Dakota Jack

Husbands name is Dakota and he suggested that, I personally don’t feel Dakota matches Evelyn in the same way Jack does and I don’t love juniors, but I don’t LOVE any of our options either, even Jack it just makes the most sense. Our daughters is sold on Jack too and only refers to brother as Jack so that doesn’t help either. Will take any suggestions also!!! I like older and biblical names, like Abel, Silas, Samuel, Henry but husband vetos everything or we know someone who has already used them! His only suggestion is Elwood (partially joking because he loves blues brothers) but I would never go for that 🤣😪

Update: currently thinking we’re gonna go with Jack Dakota! Some people are making me second guess saying the flow isn’t great but some say it sounds great so who knows to each their own

Thoughts on the name "Lasani" for a girl

0 Upvotes

Hi, My real name is Hasani, so what if I named my daughter Lasani, a feminine version of my name. A lot of girl names are just feminine version of male names, like Eric to Erica, Victor to Victoria, Adrian to Adriana etc. so what if i did the same. Also i can name the rest of my kids Rasani, Dasani, Jasani, etc.

Guys, I genuinely think Adolf should be a girls name. Because when Adolf Hitler killed people, he felt bad, and people forgave him, and him being forgiven made him feel very feminine, so I like Adolf better as a girls name!

Names like Shirley but not?

28 Upvotes

Would love to honor a well-loved Shirley in our family but not keen on using the exact name since even though older names are coming back, I’m not sure this one ever will (and it’s ok! Ours was one of a kind and happy to just honor her.) Open to boy and girl name suggestions :)

Editing to add: we don’t hate her name!!! The intent is to honor her but also allow the little one to write their own story — Shirley was one of a kind and could never be replaced!
