Personally I love the name Amadeus its so unique.

Currently going through a divorce and heavily considering just picking a new last name after it is finalized. I don't plan to change my name again if I were to re-marry.

I took my (soon to be ex) husband's name when we got married, and I don't like it. It's a color (such as: brown, grey, black, etc)​ and makes my name 1 letter off a famous adult film star whom I also bear a small resemblance to. Coincidence, but still not something I am fond of.

My maiden name is a complicated German name that no one is ever able to pronounce, and I despise being associated with my dad. I have other family whom carry the surname so i have no reason to keep it. It will not die with me.

Thoughts on Moon?

Also open to suggestions for short surnames. 3 syllables or less. Uncommon without sounding made up is the goal. I also considered Sinclair for a moment but it didn't feel right.

Initials would end up being AGM.

(For those who dont know a hot take is an opinion not many will agree with.)

I feel like whoever had the child should get the ultimate say in what the baby is called. No im not saying the father cant also have baby name ideas, just the person giving birth should have the ultimate say.

I want you to explain what aesthetic/ vibe / energy comes to mind when you hear the name ‘Blake’. Try not to think of anyone with that name that gives you a bias.

Hi all, I’m pregnant for the first time and we’re having a girl. My husband and I can’t seem to agree on a name. We’re American but of Pakistani descent. We don’t really love Pakistani names but there are some really pretty Arabic names that we tend to find ourselves more drawn to.

My husband’s top pick is Ayah and mine is Ayla but neither of us have agreed as I don’t care for Ayah and he doesn’t like Ayla.

A name we seem to agree on now is Elena Nour for the first and middle. How do we feel about this and are there others that you all have considered that you love? Open to all the suggestions

Question for both men and women: What girl’s name immediately makes you imagine an intelligent, elegant, confident, and successful woman?

I’m looking for something international, timeless, feminine but not overly delicate, and professional enough to suit a doctor, lawyer, CEO, or journalist.
For example, Nora sounds soft and feminine to me, but not too soft. It still feels mature and professional.

What names give you that impression?

Thnx! 🤍

hello, so i have a problem. I am going to propose to my girlfriend here in a few weeks. it is an ongoing joke between her and I about which last name we will be taking because I have different one I had perviously went by, my biological, my step-dads and my mom's. problem is I do not have a good relationship with any of them. I do not want to take any of their last names and make it mine legally (obviously not biological) so I'm in a stump, yesterday I asked her dad for his blessing/permission to marry his daughter and told him my dilemma. he agrees with me and says change it completely. I want a new start, i want to break the cycle and be my own man. this may not be a popular opinion but I know what it means to me. now with all that for context, what are some last names?

we both have agreed her last name is not something we want. i have asked and she was the first to say no lol. mainly ideas honestly, something meaningful and not to do with ethnicity.

She will have my portugueses surname, which is Sousa, but I would like to add another name, Sophia, so it becomes:

Sophia … Sousa.

We live in Germany.

My name is Lady (sometimes spelled Leidi), and I'm trying to decide on a username and here are my options:

1. @ leidibug
2. @ dear.lovebug
3. @ dear.leidibug
4. @ love.leidibug
5. @ dontbugthelady
6. @ hey.leidibug

If you had to pick just ONE, which would it be?

I have a daughter named Rosalie and am having another baby girl. I want to know some names that match the essence of Rosalie - timeless, elegant, smart, maybe a little vintage, and have the options for nicknames.

I absolutely love the name Violet, but don’t want to have a floral or nature theme. Florence, Cordelia, and Valentine are three others that are on my list!!

F20. I want to change my name. What do you think about name Julia/Yulia? What are your associations? Is it usable now or outdated? International? How do pronounce it?

i saw another post about this name looking like “gasoline“ and I agree completely. it baffles me how people say “I think Donald was always an ugly name even before Trump“ but now people are like “This is such a beautiful name, but it’s ruined”

How is Donald even a LITTLE worse than this...

Ghislaine.

how do you even pronounce it, anyway.

Whenever I tell people my sons name is Rhys, I've had a number of people say "ACOTAR?" I had literally no fuckin idea what that was! But I assume there's a character called Rhys, and from the things they say, I assume he's not a very nice character? 🤣

I mean, it is what it is, but it does make me roll my eye's when people assume I've named him after a character from some fuckin book I'd never heard of. Lmao.

My husband and I are on somewhat of a trend with matching first and middle name initial.
Ex. L first L middle; M first M middle and so on.

I have first names, just in need of middle names!

The middle name i have for M is too basic for me (may/mae) so I want to hear some pretty options!! I love type names that roll off the tongue!

Current L middle name I LOVE and have loved is “Lainey” but I want to see some other option’s

Not maya, Lylah, Layla, Emma, Evelyn, Elsie, Eloise, those are mostly names already in my family LOL.

Bonus for letter E!!! Elizabeth is on my list bc it’s classic and pretty so I want other options for the middle name.

I’m having so much fun reading other posts so this is mine. 2-year old kids.

* Names that exist in Portuguese but with a different spelling

** Names that don’t exist in Portuguese

(These are kids with foreign parents)

I’m not sure if we have a specific name style we like, but just something not in the top 100 would be nice. Our first son has a very uncommon vintage name and second son has a more common (top 200) surname ending in er. We like soft sounds in the name but still want it to be strong.

Names we like:

Benson (maybe too trendy with Benson Boone)

Russell (we like but it’s a neighbors name)

Jasper (maybe a little too popular for us)

Atticus (just not sticking)

Lewis (maybe too simple)

Arthur (too common)

Edsel (too out there and don’t like Ed nicknames)

Wells (doesn’t go with W last name)

Timothy (don’t like Timmy)

Tommy (don’t like the full Thomas)

Sheldon (too much big bang theory)

Nelson (just isn’t right)

Hello! Could you please tell me if the initials AJNL (L is the family name) sound okay? I’m asking because they would be the initials of my child’s name, and I want to make sure they don’t have any negative connotations. I know I’m probably overthinking it, but I just want to be sure.

Current list of name from my baby’s infant classroom. No tragedeighs!

Ashton

First names : Fiona, Katherine, Rhea, Victoria

Middle names : Colette, Olivia, or the other three first name options

Last name : Rhymes with Herald

Full List :

- Fiona Colette, Fiona Katherine, Fiona Olivia, Fiona Rhea, Fiona Victoria

- Katherine Colette, Katherine Fiona, Katherine Olivia, Katherine Rhea, Katherine Victoria

- Rhea Colette, Rhea Fiona, Rhea Katherine, Rhea Olivia, Rhea Victoria

- Victoria Colette*, Victoria Fiona, Victoria Katherine, Victoria Olivia, Victoria Rhea

(* "Victoria Colette" means "victory victory" so it's the only certain no-go)

If it's not too much of a hassle, I'd love to know which middle name you like the best out of each of the four first names, even if you aren't crazy about the first name, thank you so much!

Also note: We will be using the traditional pronunciation of Rhea which is RAY-uh. It's a very common way to pronounce it where I live, and it's a family name. We know some people will say it REE-uh too, but that's alright. Just when picking your favorite middle name for Rhea, please consider both pronunciations

Looking for feedback on my current boy name shortlist, as well as suggestions for other names that might fit our style! 😊
The siblings, in age order, are Felicity, Augustus, Gideon, Phoenix, and Elodie.
We try not to repeat first initials between our children (middle initials can repeat), and all of our children’s middle names are more familiar, established names.
Ideally, I like boy names that fall somewhere around the 300–600 range in US popularity. I prefer names that feel established, a little old-fashioned, and recognizable without being overly common or trendy. I also try to avoid names that are rapidly rising in popularity, although I made an exception for Elodie because I loved it too much to pass up, even knowing the Ellie-name trend was gaining momentum.
I love names that feel distinctive without sounding invented or like we’re trying too hard to be unique. My current favorites are a little more unusual than my other children’s names, so I’m looking for an outside perspective on whether they’re wearable as first names or might be a little too out there.
My top four contenders (the more unusual options):
Nazareth(is this too weird?)
Laszlo / Lazlo
Wilder
Calloway / Callahan
Calloway and Callahan are a little outside my usual naming style, but I’m considering them partly to honor a family member, Cali.
Some of the more familiar options I’m considering:
Jasper
Declan
Malachi
Sullivan
I’d love feedback or suggestions for names with a similar feel: established, sturdy, a little uncommon, and preferably with some history behind them. Ideally, I’d like to avoid anything too trendy or anything that feels like a made-up spelling.
We’re in the US, so US popularity and naming trends are what I’m interested in.
Thanks for reading! 😊
