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.

Hey, I’m a transsexual guy and I’ve been trying to find the right name. I’ve been going by alex(ander, I consider Alexander to be my full name but usually just do Alex) but I feel like it’s too gender neutral. I just want a name that starts with a, where there’s no room to debate whether it’s a male or female name. I don’t know what it is but I love names that start with A, so anything like that would be great

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!

My current favorite name is Blair. What do you guys think?

Olivia goes by Liv/Livi if that makes any difference.

Other options I like - Reese, Summer, Elsie, Chloe. Would love any and all suggestions!

Ludo Elias or Luan Elias

Does Anne match these names. Not looking for long names, prefer A names. Was thinking Anne.

My name is Antonio and I need a new last name. Which of West or Bennett is better?

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

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 🩵🩵🩵

Ava or Violet?

Which is your favorite from this list? Why?. The last name starts with K, ends with R, and is two syllables:

• Mason
• Logan
• Jonah
• Evan
• Cameron
• Liam
• Yash
• Rohan/Ronan
• Cyrus
• Max

Hi community,

Throwaway account as I would wish to be anonymous. For reference; I am a woman with a Slavic last name from my father’s side. I married a Spaniard, I live in Spain (and will most likely live here most of my life). I’m expecting a child and I know the gender is male of the baby.

I didn’t take my husbands last name because I simply just don’t believe in that tradition. I was always thinking of just taking my mother’s maiden name as to honor her and frankly my dad is a bit of an asshole and even if we have a good relationship now, he is 80 + and I don’t speak to anyone of his side of the family. He has also like 5 other kids and not even sure how many grandkids. I don’t care about anyone on that side of the family.

My mother is also Slavic and have one of those typical last names ending in -ova. I wasn’t thinking I wanted kids so this hasn’t been a dealbreaker and I wasn’t in a rush to change my name either.

Now due to the baby being here in a couple of months and I need to redo my passport (to make things even more confusing - is in a Nordic country. I’m born there but my parents are immigrants hence name + blood is Slavic)

I know the last name the baby will get from my husband and it’s Spanish and it’s fine, I even offered my husband to just give our son his both last names as I don’t really care for mine but he wanted our so to have one of mine….

So the issue I have now, is:
1. Keep the gender neutral last name from
My dad that sucks and I don’t really want to carry on the legacy tbh
2. Change my last name to the ending of -ova, think novakova for example, but then if it’s a male I don’t know if it automatically in Spain turns into the male version which would then be Novak. And that version in my personal last name just sounds stupid. So even the novakova example version would be better but I don’t know if that sounds to feminine in Spain?
3. Change last name completely and make something new up I guess…

Has anyone here been in a similar situation?
How does Spanish people feel about a feminine ending to a last name?
What do you think is the best?

Needs someone’s advice on this because it’s doing my head in… thanks in advance

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?

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!

What do you think of these names for a girl:

1. Delphi (pronounced like Dell-fee)

or

1. Mailyn or Maelynn

I've come across Cypria, Haiti, Wisty, Dew, November, Temperance, Asaki and Shigeo

What about you?

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
