A, E, I, O, and U

may.rose · May 30, 2026, 12:59pm

What would you name your kids if their names each had to start with a vowel? [name_m]You[/name_m] may add a sixth child whose name starts with a Y if you believe Y is a vowel.

Today I would choose:

[name_f]Anya[/name_f] 🥀
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] 🍋
[name_f]Irene[/name_f] 🌱
[name_f]Odette[/name_f] 🪶
[name_f]Una[/name_f] 🌊
[name_f]Yara[/name_f] 🌿

Or

[name_m]August[/name_m] 🍁
[name_m]Eliot[/name_m] 🌻
[name_m]Isaiah[/name_m] 🪲
[name_m]Otis[/name_m] 🍂
[name_m]Ulysses[/name_m] 🐋
[name_m]Yarrow[/name_m] 🌾

I only believe ‘Y’ is a vowel when it’s at the end of a word. And I’m not too excited about any ‘Y’ names.

[name_m]Albert[/name_m] [name_m]Peter[/name_m]

[name_m]Ewan[/name_m] [name_m]David[/name_m]

[name_m]Ira[/name_m] [name_m]Basil[/name_m]

[name_f]Olive[/name_f] [name_f]Anita[/name_f]

[name_f]Una[/name_f] [name_f]Bridget[/name_f]

[name_m]Albert[/name_m], [name_m]Ewan[/name_m], [name_m]Ira[/name_m], [name_f]Olive[/name_f] & [name_f]Una[/name_f].

Today…

[name_m]Anselm[/name_m]
[name_m]Emmerich[/name_m]
[name_m]Ivo[/name_m]
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m]
[name_m]Ulrich[/name_m]
Ywi (the Y is a vowel sound – a redundant one, but we’re sticking to vowels!)
