A New Creative Name Game

Here’s a new one. You have a baby and decide to name it after one of your closest friends. But there’s a catch: You can’t use your friend’s name. You can pick names from:

  • Their meaning- if it fits that person
  • A name from their culture/heritage
  • Be creative here- a name from the last place you went with that person

Have fun!

My name choice is
If I were to name a baby after my avid birdwatcher friend, we would name it

[name]Phoebe[/name] [name]Savannah[/name] ([name]Phoebe[/name] is a type of bird, [name]Savannah[/name] is a type of prairie, both are nature names on my list)

I will think of a name that honors my cat Mokie (his real name is [name]Moses[/name], and he’s my best friend in a way because I adore him.)

  • Their meaning- if it fits that person
  • A name from their culture/heritage
  • Be creative here- a name from the last place you went with that person

[name]Rajiv[/name] (means striped in Sanskrit and little Mokie is a gray tiger kitty) [name]Valentine[/name] (means strong and Mokie has very strong arms and legs plus he is my little valentine.)
