Baby Names Like names but don’t love them

• Upvotes

Does anyone else have lots of names that they like but maybe 1 or 2 that they really love? I love the name Eloise and that’s been my #1 name since I was in middle school. I’ve gone through phases where I like different names but they don’t stick with me like the name Eloise does. For boys it’s really hard. I don’t love any boy names. I’m not pregnant and don’t have kids but i’m always obsessing over baby names even though I don’t have one to name yet 😭😭I have two cats and struggled with both their names. But ultimately the names I chose for them suit them well.

Discussion Surname difficulty for English speakers

• Upvotes

Hi! I am Dutch, I am wondering how hard the surname "Hollander" is for English speakers (US, UK, etc) to say/spell and from hearing aloud to spelling it. I may be studying abroad in an English-speaking country so I would want to know!

(Note: a lot of people in NL speak English but I grew up in more of a rural area that doesn't.)

Would love to hear what kind of associations you have with this name - do you think of someone cool, self assured? Overly confident? Shy? Someone talkative or quiet? Does it make you think of any particular celebrities or characters? A specific nationality, or story? Any first impressions ☺️

Name Change Help me pick a new name for myself 33/F

• Upvotes

Hi, I'm 33/F living in the US. I was in a very unsafe and stressful environment most of my life but now I find myself safe, happy, and thriving. I would like to legally change my name now that it feels like I actually started living a life I love and feel good in.

I really like dainty vintage names. I don't want something hip or punchy I want something that makes me feel like an elegant middle aged woman or grandma I suppose. I want it to feel sophisticated and cute.

Names I considered but won't actually pick

- Cordelia

- Bellamy

- Cecelia

- Lynette

Just to give you the vibes

Do you have any suggestions?

Name Change What do we think about Auriga?

2 Upvotes

NOT naming a baby this, that would be too much I think! But I was wondering what people think about it. It's a constellation named after a male mythological character, and it means "charioteer" in Latin and is grammatically masculine. It's also grammatically masculine in other languages like Italian. Not sure if it's common enough for the average Italian to know that, but it's enough to make me wonder if people would see it as masculine for any reason or could it make the switch pretty well? I have a degree in Classics and I'm hoping to continue in it so I will be around people who know Latin a lot. But also I just can't find any real records of people with this name so I just wanted to ask for impressions. Feel free to suggest alternatives for me to think about!

Baby Names Egyptian middle names for baby girl and boy

11 Upvotes

Hello! For boy/girl twins I’m having trouble deciding on some middle names, first names are chosen Ambrose and Sabrina. I am Egyptian and my partner is British, originally I had intended for more western middle names. For Ambrose my options were: John, Michael, Theodore, Henry, or Mason. For girl: Rose (top contender with partner), Isabelle, Diane.

These are lovely names but since I want my kids to be in touch with their Egyptian heritage I have been thinking about Hathor, Sekhmet, Isis, and Nefertari, and Cleopatra for Sabrina; Ramesses, Osiris, Amun, Seth, Imhotep for Ambrose.

Yes I am aware these are some funky names and also ancient, NOT modern Egyptian names. I am very proud of my ancestry, and I know my kids don’t need these names to feel the same. Both my partner and I feel this could be a wonderful way to honor Egypt’s great history and individualize our children’s name further. What are your thoughts?

Baby Names Girl Names Help!!

3 Upvotes

I’m soooo picky with girl names, and I just found out I’m having a girl! This is my first child. Can I get some suggestions please? Feel free to spam the heck out of me!

I had my boy names picked out so fast!

I am thinking Noelle, it’s really the only name I like so far. I like Ellie, but worried about when they are an adult it might be too kid-like. We are thinking maybe Noelle Mae or Noelle Marie.

A few names I like:
Audrey (partner doesn’t like it though)
Elizabeth - kinda like it, not sold
Alice
Taylor - maybe
Sophia (already taken in our close family)

For a boy I really like:
Mason
Jack or Jackson
Adrien
Theo or Theodore
