I got nothing! All the names I love have been taken by friends & family already. Here’s a few I love but can’t use and maybe I could get some recommendations for similar styles? Thanks in advance. I don’t know the gender yet!

Girls:
[name_u]Paisley[/name_u], [name_u]Parker[/name_u], [name_u]Brooklyn[/name_u], [name_f]Adelyn[/name_f], [name_f]Mila[/name_f], Meika, [name_f]Macy[/name_f], [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], [name_f]Serenity[/name_f], [name_f]Luna[/name_f]

Boys:
[name_m]Benjamin[/name_m], [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m], [name_m]Levi[/name_m], [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], [name_u]Finn[/name_u], [name_m]Milo[/name_m], [name_m]Felix[/name_m]

I just want to start off by saying that just because your friends and family named their kids these names, doesn’t mean you can’t as well. Cousins can share the same name, it’s really not a big deal :slight_smile:

That being said…

I agree with livelaughlove. If there is a name you really love, even if it was used by a friend or family member, you should still use it. I think [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] (may-zee) is a cute alternative to [name_f]Macy[/name_f].
Girls:
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_u]Peyton[/name_u], Mikelle, [name_f]Mariah[/name_f],

Good luck!

Haha! I feel your pain. All but one boy name that my husband and I like have now been used by friends/family/co-workers. We’re at the point where we feel like we HAVE to start having kids soon before some uses [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and we’re screwed!

My gut instinct is to go with some variation of the names that you like, where you can get the original name as a nickname if you want to, like [name_f]Milena[/name_f] instead of [name_f]Mila[/name_f], because then you can use [name_f]Mila[/name_f] as a nickname.
