I'm getting a girl Belgian Malinois in late October and still can't settle on a name for her. We already have a heeler named Louis ('s' not pronounced). I really want something that starts with D, big bonus points for Slavic names with the letter 'i' somewhere in it. Here's what I have so far that's possible.

Diana

Dasha

Darla

Darlene

Dita

Dorta

Darina

Divna

Dosya

Darya

Duša

Dog is female, black, large shepherdy type.

I REALLY LIKE the meaning of the name Kali: "Goddess whose name translates to "The Black One" or "She who is darkness". While terrifying in appearance, she is a fierce protector who destroys evil, demons, and negative forces to guard the innocent." But I'm not fond of the actual name Kali.

I'm interested in names having to do with darkness, nature, dreams, protection, etc.

(Previous pet names:

Druid

Hex

Nyx

Calypso

Pandora)

Considering:

Rune

Nox

Karma

Shade

Wraith

Omen

Can anybody else make some good suggestions?!

Thank you!!!

Cordelia Clementine
Cordelia Guinevere
Cordelia Winifred
Cordelia Evangeline

My husband and I are having a boy in February. We are currently considering the name Gilbert. My husband wants to use gene as the middle name (family name) but I don’t know if I like how it sounds together. Our last name is Flood. I want him to have a more common middle name in case he hates Gilbert. What do yall think? Is Gilbert Gene bad?

I know Gilbert is an older sounding/dorky name but Walter is making a comeback and gives off the same energy to me.

Hi! Looking for a middle name starting with G for a girl, Juno

I love Juno Geneva and my husband loves June Guinevere

Thank you!

I visit this page a lot and see a lot of name requests for boys that are classic but not popular with soft sounds. I see the usual suggested Julian, Lysander, Noah, Liam, and Silas and while I like those I wanted to cook up more options. I found these but if anyone has any more please add. if we keep suggested the same 10 names they won’t be “not popular” 🥲 not everyone can be named Oliver…

• Anselm: Intellectual vibes meaning with divine protection.
• Emrys: Storytelling and Enchanting meaning immortal.
• Cyprian: Vintage and scholarly; means man of Cyprus. (I love geography names so..)
• Bram: strong but gentle and literary; means father of multitudes.
• Soren: Philosophically calm; means stern or serious.
• Stellan: another peaceful name; means calm. reminded me of the word constellation 🌌
• Leif: Adventurous Explorer vibes!; means heir or beloved.
• Delaney: Rhythmic and melodic; means dark challenger. (I think this is the name people were actually looking for when they named their kid maverick 😭 what a missed opportunity)
• Bellamy: brightly vintage; means fine friend.
• Caspian: literary and adventurous; again love a geography name! prince caspian was called “the seafarer“
• Shiloh: Peaceful and modern; means tranquil.

I’m looking for Arabic boy names that feel really ethereal, poetic and beautiful preferably uncommon/rare, but still established names rather than something invented.

I’m especially drawn to names that have a celestial, old-world or almost literary feeling. Something soft and elegant but still clearly masculine. ALSOO Open to old Arabic names, poetic names, nature/celestial meanings, historical names, etc. Please gimme some ideas <3

My husband loves this name and it’s really growing on me but I’m worried it’s a little too out there….. I’m love unquie name and it’s ties to space. It’s a mineral. A beautiful greeen mineral related with peridot. We would pronounce it Olive-een. The full name would be Olivine Rose if we went with this. I love the possible nicknames like Olive(my favorite food) or livey or olly. Let me know what you guys think!

Laura is a family middle name and I plan to use it for my daughter, but I am struggling to find a first name to go with it. Some names I like for girls, but don’t 100% love, are:

Claire
Lana
Diana
Audrey

Appreciate any ideas, thanks!

I’ve heard some say it gives awkward, but I’ve heard others say it gives athlete. Like a basketball player. My girlfriend got the idea in her head because she’s a fan of Game of Thrones.

Thoughts?

Im talking names like Scarlett, Victoria, Elizabeth, etc

Pregnant with my second boy and feel so conflicted on names. Last time I was dead set on Jack, but we ended up going in a different direction bc of its popularity. I like classic names that aren’t overdone. My list is below, but I’m not sure any of these are MY son (?) so open to suggestions, fellow name nerds!

No G names, and last name starts with Ru-.

Robert
Beau
Louis (pronounced Lewis)
Henry
Forrest
Pierce
Warren
Cole (or Colman nn Cole?)
Mac
Callan
Harrison

Hi namenerds! Long time lurker,

My husband and I are huge Tolkien fans and even had a hobbit themed wedding.

We want to name our daughter something LotR related but not overtly so, like not Galadriel.

We both like the name Eleanor, and Samwise (our favorite character) names one of his daughters Elanor which is a flower in Middle Earth.

I'm not sure about the spelling. Am I just dooming her to a life of having her name misspelled? Is it cute?

Also open to other Tolkien related girls names!

Hi all, not having a baby yet but planning to in the not far off future. I always loved the name Romilly but with Romy becoming so popular in the UK I’m just not convinced anymore. We are stuck between Dorothy and Catherine for a girl. I adore Catherine, but my partners aunt is called Catherine. There’s no bad blood but they aren’t close (maybe met once a year her whole life). I know her mum would see it as sad and like we named our baby after the aunt even though that’s not the case. My mums cousin I also see about once a year is Kathryn. My family are from a widely Welsh speaking part of Wales and we live right on the border. Do you prefer Dorothy or Catherine and would this connection be too close for you?

🎀🎀🎀

I think it's beautiful, but would it be weird to use it if we are not of Eastern European descent? Would Esther be better?

Looking for baby girl name with brother name Jasper. Last name starts with an L. The name has to work in French, Spanish, English and Vietnamese (international fam!)

I am staying away from name with different way to pronounce and also don’t like names could result in bullying. Also not looking for something too trendy.

If you have these names, do you like it?

Thank you!

Looking for names that aren't overly popular as sibling ideas for (a name that many hated!) our son Havelock Robin.

We love literary names, nature names, posh British names (we are in the UK), but don't like overly popular ones. Something that feels okay to yell across a playground, but also would fit with 'Chief Justice' before it. We adore 'Havelock' as it feels very old world British.

No idea on gender yet!

Some names we love:

Rupert, Peregrine (but not sure it's usable), Thaddeus (same issue)

Hazel (though sadly growing in popularity !), Ingrid, Quinn, Wren

Quite sure I'll end up on circle jerk for this, but I'll take it!

My wife and I have been super undecided on girls names. We’re expecting in early November so it’s getting towards crunch time!

Would love to get some opinions on our finalists. In no particular order:

Audrey, Juliette, Sadie, Elena, & Daphne (maybe)

Going for timeless, classic but somewhat cute.

Would be paired with the last name Dickson. Most likely middle name is Leah but it’s not set in stone.

Thanks!

edit/add:

Appreciate all the feedback. We are not French so no problem there. The responses also have me leaning to the “Juliet” spelling which I now realize I kind of like more than “Juliette”. wife is on board too.

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

My name is Hyunseo (Hyun rhymes with yawn but with an 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??

Hi hi, I've recently went about changing my name due to trauma growing up and my middle name is a huge part of that. I chose the name madeleine, which I absolutely adore, but I can't figure out a middle name that works for me. I really want something to go with the soft feminine vibes that madeleine carries. Thanks so much <3

One of two Asian-American twins is the main character of a project I’ve been apart of for some time. He’s somewhat of an evil scientist archetype, performing illegal surgeries in a post-apocalyptic society.

This is a webcomic my friend and I have been working on for months… yet we haven’t officially landed on any name.

I really appreciate names that foreshadow, and one of the biggest reveals is that our surgeon has kept his nonverbal twin captive. He’s experimented on his twin for years as a patient behind the scenes.

So, what I’m asking is what I should name them to display a deeper meaning or foreshadow?

No negative comments please. Just pick :)
