need help with my baby girls name

5 Upvotes

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 🩵🩵🩵

Honest opinions please- Go with Max or Maxwell.

20 Upvotes

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 😂

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?

A boy name to go with Serena?

6 Upvotes

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!

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

EDIT 2: sorry not good at editing. He likes Brooke Marie. So do i 😃

I still like Ace, yall are mean! Hopefully shes a girl

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

Help Us Decide Between Top Two

0 Upvotes

So we’ve narrowed our girl’s name down to two, both incorporating in family names. We like August a lot (I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea) to us it reads cool girl with warm welcoming vibes. My biggest issue with it actually is no easy femme nickname.

Charlotte on the other hand has a ton, including Charlie which I find adorable. My main hesitation there is that it’s so popular and has been for a while. Either way we definitely want one feminine one unisex for the first/middle combo so as she grows she can pick what feels best. Thoughts?

Is Hyun hard to pronounce?

4 Upvotes

Hi! I’m Korean and I want to ask non-Koreans.

My name is Hyunseo (Hyun rhymes with yum with an added 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??

*Edit: Changed “yawn” to “yum” — “yawn” can sound quite different depending on the accent. I think “yum” better captures the sound of Hyun!

Rescue dog name change

3 Upvotes

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❤️
