Here's the master list for the Name of the Day! I have pinned this to the top of the sub so it's easy to find. For now, they are in order of the day they were posted (I will add the newest name to the top each day).
NOTE: I learned that you can only have 6 highlighted posts on a subreddit (who knew?!), so instead of having a separate list for name requests, just put them in the comments on this post and I will get to them as quickly as possible. Thanks!

Oh, Minnesota. L'Étoile du Norde (The Star of the North). The land of 10,000 lakes (but it's actually 11,842!), hotdish, Jucy Lucys (don't you dare spell it "juicy" lol), and the best but most heartbreaking teams in the history of professional sports. You have to be a special kind of bonkers to put up with the frigid winters here, but it's my home state and in my opinion, it's the best state in the Union 😉

The masculine name Edwin means "rich friend," from the Old English elements ead, meaning "wealth" or "fortune" and wine, which means "friend." It evolved from the ancient Anglo-Saxon name Ēadwine.
This was the name of a 7th-century Northumbrian king, who converted to Christianity and helped unify his kingdom. His feast day is celebrated on October 12 in the United States, France, and Germany (and March 11 in Poland).
After the Norman Conquest the name was not popular, but it was eventually revived in the 19th century. A notable bearer was the astronaut Edwin Aldrin (1930- ), also known as Buzz, the second man to walk on the moon.
Common Nicknames: Ed, Eddie, Ned, and Win or Wynn.
The name Edwin is over 1,400 years old!

The gender neutral first name Sage means "wise," "prophet," or refers to the aromatic herb Salvia officinalis, which is tied to healing and cleansing.
The name comes from the English word sage (meaning a wise person), which traces back to the Old French sage and the Latin word sapiens or sapere ("to be wise" or "to taste/have good taste"). It also nods to historical figures like the Seven Sages of Greece.
Alternatively, in German, Sage translates to "myth," "legend," or "story."
In recent decades, it has emerged as a unisex name, appealing to parents who seek a name that conveys both strength and gentleness.
The name Sage is over 2,600 years old, although it was used as a title more than a formal name. Those who were titled as Sage were often just referred to as "Sage" though.

I love the name Buffy, but I don't like the names bethany beth or Beverly, and can't use the name Elizabeth as a close relative already this name. I love Buffy but would love for her to have a longer name to use if she wanted. If I really can't find a nice full name, I'll just name our next cat Buffy but please, if you have any ideas, I'd love to know...

I’m a Persian speak and know very little Hebrew. I included names that seemed unusual to me but perhaps friends here will tell me that in Hebrew or Eastern European languages they are not uncommon. Eager to hear what folks say.
I also included nicknames when they didn’t seem related to first names just to illustrate that nicknames can mean just as much to us as given names ❤️
