Hello [name_m]Oskar[/name_m] [name_m]Karl[/name_m] [name_m]Wolfgang[/name_m]! @meyera4

Genuinely, favouritism aside, that’s my fave name of the bunch. I love the [name_m]Oskar[/name_m] spelling — so strong and brisk sounding — and [name_m]Wolfgang[/name_m] is amazing, especially with the cute sibling connection.

I also really like [name_u]Claude[/name_u] [name_u]Indiana[/name_u] [name_m]Emmanuel[/name_m], [name_u]Valor[/name_u] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m], [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] Azélie, [name_u]Levi[/name_u] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m], [name_m]Benedict[/name_m] [name_u]Campion[/name_u] [name_u]Marie[/name_u], [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_u]Truth[/name_u], [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Miriam[/name_f], [name_m]Henry[/name_m] Kapaun and [name_u]Tristan[/name_u] [name_m]Raphael[/name_m]

fearlessfirefly · January 4, 2021, 8:45pm

Claude [name_u]Indiana[/name_u] [name_m]Emmanuel[/name_m]! Such a handsome name. That’s one of my favorite celebrity baby names.

So many excellent ones, though!

If I had to pick one to name a child I would pick [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Miriam[/name_f]!

dandy_orchid · January 4, 2021, 9:22pm

These are lovely! [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] is absolutely gorgeous–that’s easily my favorite of the bunch. But I also quite like [name_u]Perrin[/name_u] [name_f]Fae[/name_f], [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f], [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] Azélie, [name_u]Levi[/name_u] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m], [name_u]Noah[/name_u] [name_m]Anthony[/name_m], and [name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_u]Owen[/name_u]! Mixing and matching from different combos, I’m also drawn to [name_u]Gabriel[/name_u], [name_f]Anna[/name_f], [name_f]Maris[/name_f], [name_m]Magnus[/name_m], [name_f]Colette[/name_f], [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], [name_u]Truth[/name_u], [name_f]Magdalene[/name_f], [name_f]Frances[/name_f], [name_f]Celeste[/name_f], and [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] as individual names!

Felicity [name_f]Colette[/name_f]
Benedict [name_u]Campion[/name_u] [name_u]Marie[/name_u]

billie_154 · January 4, 2021, 11:35pm

Wow I love so many of these.

My favourites (I don’t have any other comment than SWOON to all of them!) :

Felicity [name_f]Colette[/name_f]
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_u]Truth[/name_u]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_u]Owen[/name_u]
[name_m]Judah[/name_m] [name_m]Abraham[/name_m]
[name_m]Philip[/name_m] [name_m]Charles[/name_m]

Also names I find interesting:

Bosco [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] - Never heard of a little [name_m]Bosco[/name_m]! Not my style, but I really like it.
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f] - [name_m]Just[/name_m] makes me smile
Sojourn Hyssop Arise - [name_m]Just[/name_m] swoon. Arise?! Wonderful!
[name_f]Magdalen[/name_f] [name_f]Gianna[/name_f] - [name_f]My[/name_f] name crush at about 13 years old was [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f], so I am so pleased to see her being used twice on this list!
[name_m]Titus[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] - I love [name_m]Titus[/name_m]!

MichelleM · January 4, 2021, 11:54pm

Thanks for sharing these. What a fun list!

I can’t believe that there’s a [name_f]Barbra[/name_f].

I love seeing [name_f]Chiara[/name_f] spelled that way. But I dislike [name_f]Elanor[/name_f]. [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] would have been stunning.

I love love [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Colette[/name_f]. And even though [name_f]Bernadette[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] breaks my rules of not repeating too many ‘n’ & ‘r’ sounds, it’s so refreshing & adorable.

Lastly, I’m surprised to see a [name_m]Magnus[/name_m]. It’s my husband’s favorite name, & I just can’t get on board.

acajou · January 4, 2021, 11:56pm

Huge fan of Sancta Nomina
I remember seeing [name_u]Claude[/name_u] and [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f] and [name_m]Oskar[/name_m] here as well!

Favorites are [name_f]Barbara[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f], [name_f]Thérèse[/name_f] [name_f]Lourdes[/name_f] (!!!), [name_f]Magdalene[/name_f] [name_u]Anne[/name_u], [name_u]Michael[/name_u] [name_u]Augustine[/name_u], [name_f]Ann[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] [name_f]Therese[/name_f] [name_u]Marie[/name_u]…

I am predictable and dislike Lolek on the birth certificate, but [name_u]Karol[/name_u] “Lolek” has been on my gp list since the announcement came out

lumosmaxima · January 5, 2021, 12:39am

[name_m]Bosco[/name_m] [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] just teleported me back to being 12 years old; a genuine out of body experience. That was my favorite name for years. In its entirety. [name_u]Wild[/name_u]

[name_f]Adore[/name_f] [name_u]Claude[/name_u] [name_u]Indiana[/name_u] [name_m]Emmanuel[/name_m], [name_f]Chiara[/name_f] [name_f]Maris[/name_f] & [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Miriam[/name_f]!!
