General Name Discussion

Here is a blog topic idea for Nameberry.com. It’s called “[name]Emo[/name] [name]Baby[/name] Names.” In case you don’t know what emo is, emo is a subgenre of hardcore punk music, which has also branched out into an entire lifestyle.

Here are a few examples of names of emo musicians and icons that you can use for your baby:

  • Wentz (as in [name]Pete[/name] Wentz; could work for either a boy or a girl)
  • [name]Gerard[/name]/[name]Jared[/name]
  • [name]Evan[/name] (as in [name]Alex[/name] [name]Evans[/name])
  • Mabbitt (as in [name]Craig[/name] Mabbitt of Escape the [name]Fate[/name]; works best as a middle name)
  • [name]Beckett[/name] (as in [name]William[/name] [name]Beckett[/name] of The Academy Is…)
  • [name]Urie[/name] (as in [name]Brendan[/name] [name]Urie[/name] of Panic At The Disco)
  • [name]Ryland[/name] (as in [name]Ryland[/name] Blackinton from Cobra Starship)
  • [name]Asher[/name] (as in [name]Victoria[/name] [name]Asher[/name] from Cobra Starship)
  • [name]Tyson[/name] (as in [name]Tyson[/name] [name]Ritter[/name] from The All-American Rejects)
  • [name]Trace[/name] (As in [name]Trace[/name] [name]Cyrus[/name] from [name]Metro[/name] Station)
  • [name]Travis[/name] (As in [name]Travis[/name] [name]Barker[/name] from Blink-182)
  • Cone (bassist of Sum 41; for the really adventurous parents out there!)
  • [name]Jacoby[/name] (as in [name]Jacoby[/name] Shaddix of Papa Roach; his last name could also work)

Then there are the emo girls, or the girls associated with it:

  • [name]Lindsay[/name] (as in [name]Lindsay[/name] “[name]Lyn[/name]-Z” Ballato, wife of [name]Gerard[/name] [name]Way[/name])
  • [name]Ashlee[/name] ([name]Simpson[/name]-Wentz)
  • [name]Helena[/name] ([name]Gerard[/name] [name]Way[/name]'s grandmother, whom he wrote a song about)
  • [name]Cassadee[/name] (from Hey [name]Monday[/name])
  • [name]Beth[/name] (as in [name]Hannah[/name] [name]Beth[/name], ex-girlfriend of [name]Trace[/name] [name]Cyrus[/name] and emo style icon)
  • [name]Avril[/name] (Lavigne)
  • [name]Demi[/name] (Lovato; not exactly emo, but along the lines of it)

Now for what emo icons name their babies:

  • [name]Alabama[/name] ([name]Travis[/name] [name]Barker[/name]'s daughter)
  • [name]Bronx[/name] ([name]Ashlee[/name] [name]Simpson[/name]-Wentz and [name]Pete[/name] Wentz’s son)
  • [name]Bandit[/name] ([name]Gerard[/name] [name]Way[/name]'s daughter)
  • Dreavyn ([name]Billy[/name] [name]Martin[/name] of Good [name]Charlotte[/name]'s son)
  • [name]Harlow[/name] ([name]Joel[/name] [name]Madden[/name]'s daughter; once again, not exactly emo, but along the lines of it)

And finally, just some unusual name ideas that are associated with the emo subculture:

  • Toronto (city in [name]Canada[/name] where many of the people mentioned on the list are from)
  • Sasuke (pronounced Sahs-kay; character in manga series “Naruto” which, once again, is only for truly adventurous parents)
  • Tokyo/Tokio (as in emo band Tokio Hotel)

Thanks for your time!!! Hopefully, Nameberry will use it as a blog topic!

I’m gonna go with [name]Jimmy[/name] or Carrabba, lol.

I guess this is like the jazz names - not particularly emo, they are just names their parents named them that seem like popular names of their birth era. I don’t know - give it some time before they become real cultural icons deserving of namesakes. Or just pick [name]Kurt[/name]. [name]Kurt[/name] is emo.

Or maybe I’m too old? Heh.

I have probably thought of naming my child helena because of gerard ways g-ma. and [name]Gerard[/name] was one of my fave names for a long time My Chemical [name]Romance[/name] was one of my fave bands in fifth grade but i grew out of them.
