Favorite Baby Names from HINMB

[may.rose]

Nameberry has (had ) a segment called “How I Named [name_f]My[/name_f] Baby,” where parents were interviewed about their baby’s name and how they chose it. What are your favorite names chosen?

I know this goes without saying, but please refrain from making negative comments on any of these names, as they belong to real children.

So many lovely names!

I like…

[name_m]River[/name_m] Charles-Can’t get enough of [name_m]River[/name_m], and really enjoy it paired with such a classic polished MN. I usually tend to pair it with something more exotic & rugged.

[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] Pearl-I’m a sucker for anything [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]. Elegant combo.

[name_m]Everett[/name_m] Holston-I’m a sucker for anything [name_m]Everett[/name_m] too!

[name_f]Clover[/name_f] [name_f]June[/name_f] Isobel-So bright yet also calm & sweet. [name_f]Love[/name_f] it.

[name_m]Rafael[/name_m] Esteban-I never think of the name [name_m]Esteban[/name_m], but love the beautiful [name_m]Rafael[/name_m]. Such a handsome combo! I have thought of [name_m]Rafael[/name_m] [name_m]Bastian[/name_m] & [name_m]Rafael[/name_m] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], so this gives me a very similar vibe.

Thanks for sharing.

I don’t think I’ve hidden the fact that HINMB is my favorite segment on the site! I really hope it gets brought back, if possible.

Same! I always love hearing about how people choose names for their kiddos.

@Greyblue

I believe this is still done on Instagram and FB - or rather something similar is done!

@seawillow

I don’t know if you have Instagram, but they still do these posts there!

Sadly, I do not have Instagram. I’m glad they are still keeping it going to some extent, though!

[name_f]My[/name_f] Favorites
[name_m]Viggo[/name_m] [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] – I love both the LOTR and [name_f]Narnia[/name_f] vibes, and yet the combo still feels earthy and grounded.

[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Teresa[/name_f] – truly an evergreen classic! I love seeing any and all forms of [name_f]Rose[/name_f] getting some love!

[name_m]River[/name_m] [name_m]Charles[/name_m] – I have such a soft spot for the gentle, outdoorsy [name_m]River[/name_m], and I love it paired with a strong classic like [name_m]Charles[/name_m]!

[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] – very elegant and chic! Definitely feels like a nameberry favorite in a lot of ways.

[name_f]Calla[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] – I love how this combo balances the unexpected yet simple [name_f]Calla[/name_f] with short and sweet [name_f]Grace[/name_f]! Absolutely lovely.

[name_m]Morris[/name_m] [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] – [name_m]Morris[/name_m] is such an underused, vintage pick, and it flows so well with the dashing [name_m]Oliver[/name_m]!

[name_f]Gwen[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] – just absolutely beautiful. I really enjoy the flow and difference in length between the names. Overall a very classy choice.

[name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] [name_m]Canyon[/name_m] – so rugged and cool! The repeating Cs and ys really does something for me aesthetically.

[name_f]Elise[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] – both names have been on my list at one point or another, and they sound absolutely gorgeous together!

[name_m]Wesley[/name_m] [name_m]Clark[/name_m] – I will always have a special place in my heart for the name [name_m]Wesley[/name_m], and [name_m]Clark[/name_m] flows very well with it!

[name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Colleen[/name_f] – [name_f]Emma[/name_f] was my first name love, and I still think it is simply darling. [name_f]Colleen[/name_f] is the name of someone very dear to me, so I kind of love everything about this combo! [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Colleen[/name_f] sounds charming together.

[name_f]Esme[/name_f] [name_f]Virginia[/name_f] – vintage in a cool way! I love to see names like [name_f]Virginia[/name_f] coming back into fashion. This combo feels trendy yet retro.

[Demoiselle]
