Baby Name Scavenger Hunt

marykathryn · December 12, 2012, 1:51pm

Hey! I have a quick and important question. What do you do when your overly picky friend enlists you in helping them pick a name for their future daughter?

My friend, [name]Kim[/name], recently came to me with the concern that she had absolutely NO girl baby names, then asked if I could help her address this issue by looking up names and hopefully find a wonderful girl name to pair with her chosen boy name, [name]Aiden[/name]. I’ve spent an entire week slinging baby names at her left and right, I’m literally drowning in names. I NEED HELP!

She currently has 5 baby names she says, and I quote, “I think they’re okay, but I just haven’t found the it name yet.” These name are: [name]Brooklyn[/name], [name]Skylar[/name], [name]Bailey[/name], [name]Ava[/name], and [name]Natalie[/name]. She is leaning more towards [name]Skylar[/name] and [name]Natalie[/name]. These are the only 5 she liked out of the 150 I hand-picked to suggest to her. Please help me! It has now become my mission in life to find this girl a wonderful baby girl name. I will never give up! Thank you! [name]Love[/name], [name]Kathryn[/name]!

Note: I’ve literally tried [name]EVERY[/name] NAME. So think outside of the box.

So she doesn’t particularly like different names. She going for something classic, but not grandma names, something with a modern twist.

You said to think outside the box.

marykathryn · December 12, 2012, 2:43pm

I know. I was thinking maybe she was looking for something more unique, but she shot those ideas down too. This girl… is going to kill me.

I love your name choices though! [name]Isla[/name] and [name]Austen[/name] are some of my favorite names!

Thank you so much! I sent her the names and hopefully I will get some feedback! I’ll tell you berries ASAP!

marykathryn · December 13, 2012, 2:33pm

She still hasn’t found any names! AHHH!

lexiem · December 13, 2012, 3:17pm

I think you need more feed back on why she likes or doesn’t like names. Why not take @ShannonCancer’s list and ask her for to give you a detailed reason why she does or doesn’t like something. It might help out. At some point you just have to stop giving her names if the only feed back you are getting to most of them is. Nope.

marykathryn · December 13, 2012, 6:31pm

Thank you! That’s a really good idea! I’m gonna go print the list and make her tell me why she doesn’t like the names! I hoping the helps, because I’m honestly loosing faith in this. [name]Silly[/name] [name]Kim[/name].

[name]Brooklyn[/name], [name]Skylar[/name], [name]Bailey[/name], [name]Ava[/name], and [name]Natalie[/name]…

[name]Just[/name] spinning options…

[name]Brooklyn[/name] + [name]Skylar[/name] = [name]Briar[/name]
[name]Ava[/name] + [name]Natalie[/name] = [name]Valeria[/name]
[name]Bailey[/name] + [name]Ava[/name] = [name]Bella[/name], [name]Baila[/name], Valancy, [name]Victory[/name].
[name]Bailey[/name] + [name]Skylar[/name] = [name]Sally[/name] (interesting as a retro throwback, unlikely to be another on the playground…)
[name]Bailey[/name] + [name]Brooklyn[/name] = [name]Bel[/name]én
[name]Ava[/name] + [name]Brooklyn[/name] = [name]Vivien[/name]

[name]Skylar[/name] - [name]Scarlett[/name], [name]Amber[/name], [name]Vesper[/name], Kestrel, [name]Ester[/name].
[name]Bailey[/name] - [name]Ashley[/name], [name]Callie[/name], Amberley, [name]Whitney[/name], Betony, [name]Bryony[/name].
