Common Nameberry Abbreviations!

The abbreviation NB is so confusing- I really don’t want to mix up newborn, non-binary, and Nameberry!

It’s usually pretty easy to tell which is which by context clues!

I have MTF and FTM in the Girl, Boy, and [name_u]Baby[/name_u] Names section (unless you mean something else that I’m unaware of), as well as AFAB and AMAB. I will add the other two though!

Yes, thank you, I had no idea what a CAF was for like the first two weeks (On my old account)

Same!

On CAFs I see NBC (non-binary child) as a way to differentiate it from NB (newborn). Also EXP/Exp. means Expecting, used to describe an unborn child carried by a pregnant character.

This is an awesome glossary, thanks!

hii i was wondering if anyone could tell me what nee means on here? i’ve seen it quite a bit in the caf threads and i’m always so confused haha

also for nb, i always thought it meant ‘not born’ as in they’re still pregnant. didn’t realize it meant newborn up until a little bit ago

“née” is just the [name_u]French[/name_u] word for “born”, indicating that this is someone’s maiden name! (ex. [name_f]Hailey[/name_f] Bieber née Baldwin)
