Give Me the Good, the Bad and the Ugly

So, theoretically, this should help me figure out which names I truly love enough to use - because if I still want to use them despite my social anxiety worries after the internet’s ripped them up, I must truly adore it, right? :thinking:

I really like:
[name_f]Mariah[/name_f]
[name_u]Dream[/name_u] (used to be on my signature!)
[name_f]Star[/name_f]
[name_f]Solange[/name_f]
[name_f]Hope[/name_f]
[name_f]Heaven[/name_f]
[name_f]Sapphire[/name_f]

Don’t dislike any of them, but I can’t see [name_f]Beyonce[/name_f] on anyone other than [name_f]Beyonce[/name_f] so maybe that one. Nice name though. Also not a big fan of [name_f]Kulture[/name_f], again because of the celebrity baby.

This is my thing, but S/O surprisingly said it would be pretty for a daughter? :thinking: Then again, he agreed [name_f]Aaliyah[/name_f] and [name_f]Beyonce[/name_f] would be cute for sisters, so I don’t know if he was really paying attention :joy:

I’ll divide it up!

Ones I really like overall: [name_u]Dream[/name_u], [name_u]Justice[/name_u], [name_u]True[/name_u], [name_f]Star[/name_f], [name_f]Solange[/name_f], [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u], [name_f]Imani[/name_f], [name_f]Destiny[/name_f], [name_u]Lyric[/name_u], [name_u]Diamond[/name_u], [name_u]Halo[/name_u], [name_f]Hope[/name_f], [name_f]Bianca[/name_f], [name_f]Sapphire[/name_f], [name_u]Shea[/name_u], [name_u]Zuri[/name_u],
[name_f]Soraya[/name_f]

Ones that I like for you (if not necessarily for me): Pretty much the rest of them! We have different styles, but I admire your style quite a bit!

Names for which spelling matters to me: [name_f]Stormi[/name_f], [name_f]Khloe[/name_f], [name_f]Jazmyn[/name_f], [name_f]Harmoni[/name_f], [name_f]Kulture[/name_f] (I generally prefer word names to be spelled as the word and common names to be spelled in the most commonly accepted way, but that’s just me!)

Names that have strong associations (which is something I avoid but not a bad thing at all!)- [name_f]Beyoncé[/name_f], [name_f]Mariah[/name_f], [name_f]Aaliyah[/name_f], [name_f]Chanel[/name_f], [name_u]Dior[/name_u], [name_f]Zendaya[/name_f] (I really like the name [name_f]Zendaya[/name_f]!), [name_f]Princess[/name_f] (which is perfect for you!), [name_u]Royalty[/name_u]

The rest I like fine- they don’t stand out as names I adore or as names that aren’t my style for any particular reason. You’ve got a great list!

These are the ones I like the most:
[name_f]Mariah[/name_f]

[name_f]Solange[/name_f]
[name_f]Imani[/name_f]
[name_f]Kimora[/name_f]
[name_f]Kiara[/name_f]
[name_f]Soraya[/name_f] :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
[name_f]Bianca[/name_f]
[name_f]Alondra[/name_f]
[name_f]Sapphire[/name_f]
[name_f]Ayanna[/name_f]

Some of these seem very tied to celebrities to me, and/or one culture in particular. And while there’s nothing wrong with that, I do think [name_f]Beyonce[/name_f] would be an awkward name for (to give an example) a shy, self-conscious white girl.

I won’t list all the ones I love because it’s practically the whole list lol, but these are the ones that I don’t like / have qualms with:

[name_f]Beyonce[/name_f] - it’s already been said but it feels like a one person name to me
[name_f]Deja[/name_f] - I love the sound of it especially in combos but I worry about the deja vu thing
[name_f]Chanel[/name_f] - not a fan of brand names personally, especially luxury brands that feel like a statement of wealth if that makes sense?
[name_u]Paris[/name_u] - [name_m]Hilton[/name_m]
[name_u]Kamari[/name_u] - sounds like calamari
[name_f]Kimora[/name_f] - not a fan of the sounds
[name_u]Dior[/name_u] - see [name_f]Chanel[/name_f]
[name_u]Royalty[/name_u] - it feels more masculine to me
[name_u]Alexis[/name_u] and [name_f]Lauryn[/name_f] - these just don’t feel as interesting / exciting as some of the others, but they’re nice enough
[name_f]Aiyana[/name_f] - so many vowels

Like I said I love so many of the names on this list, I could go on all day :joy: favourites include [name_f]Jaylah[/name_f], [name_f]Jazmyn[/name_f], [name_f]Solange[/name_f], [name_f]Harmoni[/name_f], [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u], [name_f]Yesenia[/name_f], [name_u]Shea[/name_u]… What happened to [name_f]Journee[/name_f] btw??

Wow, what a list! Beautiful naming style!

I don’t mind [name_f]Stormi[/name_f], it’s not my personal style but I find it a very sweet simple name, and I adore the nickname [name_u]Storm[/name_u].

I’d personally avoid [name_f]Beyonce[/name_f]. I believe the association to the singer would be too much, and it’s also just not my style.

Mariah is a very sweet name that I don’t believe is too common. Although I prefer the variation [name_f]Mireya[/name_f], I like [name_f]Mariah[/name_f]!

Dream is a name I’ve always considered to be a middle name. I am unsure of how I feel for it being a first, but I love the simplicity of it. Very sweet.

Justice is not particularly my favourite either, I have just never been a fan of it.

I like [name_f]Monique[/name_f]. It’s not overly common but still a name that feels familiar. Great name.

I truly don’t think I have ever heard of [name_f]Essence[/name_f]. If it’s your style, it’s lovely!

Jaylah is so sweet. I love this one.

True, similar to [name_u]Dream[/name_u] I feel this would work best as a middle name but I love the strength of it. Although it is not my personal style I like it.

Deja is such a wonderful choice! I absolutely love this name and I feel it could fit perfectly at any stage in life.

I like [name_f]Aaliyah[/name_f], I feel at times it can be common but that’s the price we pay for pretty names.

Zahara is gorgeous. I truly don’t have anything else to say, I love this one!

I much prefer [name_f]Khloe[/name_f] spelt as [name_f]Chloe[/name_f], and even then it is not my favourite but it’s a sweet and simple name.

Star is not my favourite but I feel that someone with this name would be the absolute coolest, very pretty!

Genesis is very pretty, I love how it’s similar to more common names like [name_f]Giselle[/name_f] but has it’s own sound.

Jazmyn is such a cute name, with lots of nickname possibilities too!

Chanel is a name I am indifferent about. When I hear the name alone I’m not the biggest fan but when meeting a [name_f]Chanel[/name_f] the name is gorgeous, has a lot of flair too!

Milani reminds me of the ultimate it girl. Such a pretty name, and I love that it’s not so overly popular.

Solange has never been a favourite of mine, but I adore the sound of it.

I absolutely love the name [name_u]Paris[/name_u]. Although I would have the same concerns in association to [name_u]Paris[/name_u] [name_m]Hilton[/name_m], I feel that it is more common to meet a [name_u]Paris[/name_u] than [name_f]Beyonce[/name_f]. I love the soft sound of it.

Harmoni is a sweet name I’ve never thought much of, but I feel it would be the perfect name for a little girl.

I’ve always thought as [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] as a boys name more so but I actually love this.

Kamari is not one of my favourites, but I love how it looks spelt out.

I personally feel that [name_u]Zuri[/name_u] can sound a tad harsh, but I much prefer it than [name_f]Suri[/name_f].

Imani is one I’ve never heard of. I think it would suit a girl wonderfully, and I love that it’s not something you hear everyday.

I adore [name_f]Nivea[/name_f]! I’ve always thought it to be such a pretty name, and would love to meet a [name_f]Nivea[/name_f] one day.

Brionna is cute, I like this variation of [name_f]Brianna[/name_f]!

Kamiyah has to be the sweetest sounding name. I love this

Kimora is an awesome name. It feels whimsical, modern and unique all at once.

I feel like [name_f]Cierra[/name_f] and variant [name_u]Sierra[/name_u] are common but for good reason, a strong timeless name that is beyond pretty.

I prefer [name_f]Maliyah[/name_f] over [name_f]Mariah[/name_f], I feel it’s a more modern version of it but still such a beautiful name.

Destiny is sweet. I love it for it’s meaning alone.

I’ve never imagined [name_u]Dior[/name_u] as a first name and truth to be told, I’m personally not the biggest fan of it. However, I think it would be one bad ass name.

Yesenia is gorgeous. It sounds mystical and incredibly unique in the best way!

Lyric has never been a personal favourite, but I find it to be a really sweet simple name, and if you and your S/O are into music, a perfect namesake.

Zendaya is a stunning name. I love the meaning of it, and I feel that there are countless great nicknames to pair it with as well.

Personally, [name_u]Diamond[/name_u] is quite hit or miss for me. It’s not my naming style but I think paired with an equally strong middle name could be really beautiful.

I’ve never met or heard of anyone named [name_u]Legacy[/name_u] before, I think it would be an incredibly strong name, but it’s not something I’m a huge fan of.

I think [name_f]Kiara[/name_f] just feels overly used for me, pretty name however!

I really am unsure of how I feel for [name_u]Royalty[/name_u]. I think it’s just a word I’ve never associated with naming, which is why I’m having a hard time to love it.

Halo is beautiful. I’ve never heard of this used as a name and I’m instantly reminded of the [name_f]Beyonce[/name_f] song, but gorgeous sound to it.

Soraya sounds gorgeous. It feels very royal to me.

Chicago is not my favourite out of all location based names. But I see the appeal for sure.

Aniyah is cute. I don’t love it or dislike it.

Kulture is my least favourite from your list, I’m sorry. I’m unsure if it’s the spelling or the association to [name_f]Cardi[/name_f] B but it’s not my style and I feel like it is not a name that will age gracefully. I apologize again

Princess I feel would fit a dog more than a person, I’m sorry again. I am just not a fan of it.

Alexis is sweet. It may be one of the more common names on your list but very pretty.

Ashanti is beautiful.

Naturi is a unique one, I think it’s a very pretty sounding name.

I am unsure if I totally love [name_u]Angel[/name_u] for a baby but I think the meaning is beyond sweet. Very pretty.

Lauryn is a name I personally find too common for my own liking but I can see why it is so popular, it’s a very pretty name.

I love [name_f]Hope[/name_f], I think it’s quite overlooked. It’s beautifully simple and again the meaning is so sweet.

Bianca has never been a personal favourite but I’ve definitely started to like it more and more over the years.

Kia is sweet, I don’t necessarily love it but definitely don’t dislike it.

Tiara is another one that I’m personally not loving, if I’m being honest. However, I think it sounds very pretty.

Nakiya is lovely! I don’t think I’ve ever heard of this name before, very sweet.

I think [name_f]Kierra[/name_f] is a wonderful name. Sounds familiar but has it’s own sound as well.

Nia, is in the same boat as [name_f]Kia[/name_f] for me. I think it’s a pretty name but don’t necessarily feel one way or another about it.

I think [name_u]Shea[/name_u] is so pretty. [name_u]Love[/name_u] it

Alondra is cute, I feel it’s very timeless.

Heaven is another name I’ve always been fond of. Such a sweet name with another beautiful meaning.

Sapphire is gorgeous! I love gem stone related names.

Ayanna is sweet, I feel I may be overusing that word haha but I truly think it’s just a very sweet sounding name.

I love [name_f]Janae[/name_f], I feel it’s one of those names that have their own unique sound.

Ebony is not a personal favourite, I feel it’s a tad outdated but nonetheless still pretty.

Trinity is a very strong sounding beautiful name.

Zariyah is pretty! I love the unique nature of it.

I think [name_f]Aiyana[/name_f] is such a cute name!

Janiyah is not my favourite from your list but I love the “yah” ending.

I apologize if anything I said came off as harsh, not my intention whatsoever! Many of these aren’t my personal naming style but that’s nothing against the name itself. The only names I truly disliked were [name_f]Kulture[/name_f] and [name_f]Princess[/name_f].

I sort of wavered on it, and couldn’t decide if I loved it or not, but I think I may readd it? :thinking:

I love [name_f]Mariah[/name_f], [name_f]Deja[/name_f], [name_f]Aaliyah[/name_f], [name_f]Zahara[/name_f], [name_f]Cierra[/name_f], [name_f]Yesenia[/name_f], [name_f]Kiara[/name_f], [name_f]Nia[/name_f], [name_u]Shea[/name_u], [name_f]Alondra[/name_f] & [name_f]Trinity[/name_f]

Most of the rest I like, but don’t really have a strong opinion on

The only one I really dislike is [name_f]Nivea[/name_f], it’s a skincare brand and I cannot lose that association at all

@loislyn - I don’t know if S/O will be down for [name_u]True[/name_u], but I do love it :heart_eyes:

@VivienaLunelle123 - Thank you! I do agree that [name_u]Alexis[/name_u] probably isn’t as me as the rest of the list - I quite like it, but it doesn’t quite have that unique, sassy feel that I love so much.

@kipperbo1 - Thank you! [name_f]Kulture[/name_f] is definitely more of a GP than anything else, but I figured I’d leave it in the mix anyways :joy:

@greyblue - Thank you! I get how [name_f]Beyonce[/name_f] can be a bit much, and how the [name_f]Chanel[/name_f] ties may not be so great (I was thinking of Scream Queens more than anything else!), and [name_f]Imani[/name_f] is very Arabic, so I likely wouldn’t use it in actuality, but it has such a beautiful sound imo - much nicer than just [name_f]Faith[/name_f] for me :joy: I found [name_f]Kierra[/name_f] in a youtube video, I quite love it too, and I get what you mean with [name_f]Ayanna[/name_f]! [name_f]Aiyana[/name_f] is said very similarly - “ai-yana” is the best way I can describe it?

@sparkleninja18 - I actually like the association for [name_u]Diamond[/name_u] :stuck_out_tongue: and the [name_f]Aniyah[/name_f] vine :stuck_out_tongue:

@almostactually - Thank you! :smiley:

@choupette - That’s fair, I am very much interested in that culture, as it was a big part of my growing up, but I get that [name_f]Beyonce[/name_f] would be awkward, given that your example is probably a good description of what my future child would be (I was pretty bold and boisterous as a kid, but became shy as I got older).

@floatinthesky - Thank you! I actually was a big fan of [name_u]Paris[/name_u] [name_m]Hilton[/name_m] back in the day :joy: I thought she was like one of the coolest people, so it’s funny you mention her :stuck_out_tongue: Also, I agree that [name_u]Alexis[/name_u] and [name_f]Lauryn[/name_f] don’t excite as much - I think I might nix them?

@julianicole5 - Thank you!! Hooray for [name_f]Nivea[/name_f] love! LOL there was a lesser known R&B singer in the 2000s named [name_f]Nivea[/name_f], and I always thought it was a pretty cool name! I get that feeling with [name_u]Dior[/name_u] - I also don’t know if I would use it, but it does sound pretty badass :stuck_out_tongue: Also, [name_u]Halo[/name_u] is my “less obvious” [name_f]Beyonce[/name_f] name, for that exact reason :stuck_out_tongue: I love the song so much! Also, please don’t apologize, I completely understand the reservations with [name_f]Kulture[/name_f] and [name_f]Princess[/name_f]! :heartbeat:

@veronica_cadence - Thank you!

@Luminen - Thank you! I’m glad you love [name_f]Princess[/name_f] for me :smiley: It’ll likely just be a middle, but I am really loving the idea of using it :heartbeat:

@hannahhh - Thank you! [name_f]Aaliyah[/name_f] is pretty much my favourite from the list - the singer [name_f]Aaliyah[/name_f] is/was one of my favourites and I think it’s a sweet nod to her! :sweat_smile:

Please remember that you asked me to be mean :laughing:

Stormi - [name_u]Storm[/name_u] is a great name. The i makes it lose a lot of its appeal.
[name_f]Beyonce[/name_f] - one person name. She might be forever “the one who’s named after the [name_f]Beyonce[/name_f]” instead of [name_f]Beyonce[/name_f] Lastname
[name_f]Mariah[/name_f] - a bit boring, but otherwise I can’t find anything bad about it
[name_u]Dream[/name_u] - a melodic and meaningful middle, an impractical first
[name_u]Justice[/name_u] - isn’t that technically a title? Like the female version of [name_m]Judge[/name_m]?
[name_f]Monique[/name_f] - cute! I knew one once.
[name_f]Essence[/name_f] - doesn’t register as a name.
[name_f]Jaylah[/name_f] - lacks identity, sounds like too many other names. But works.
[name_u]True[/name_u] - see [name_u]Dream[/name_u]
[name_f]Deja[/name_f] - cute
[name_f]Aaliyah[/name_f] - a bit complicated
[name_f]Zahara[/name_f] - brave but works
[name_f]Khloe[/name_f] - spell it with a c.
[name_f]Star[/name_f] - see [name_u]Dream[/name_u]. Also Starchild is our term for angel baby :grimacing:
[name_u]Genesis[/name_u] - honestly? this one makes me wish I was more spiritual so I could just use it myself :grin:
[name_f]Jazmyn[/name_f] - has too many spellings but works
[name_f]Chanel[/name_f] - I only see the brand, and that feels like a hollow and uninspired namesake
[name_f]Milani[/name_f] - works as a place name, [name_u]Milano[/name_u] would work better
[name_f]Solange[/name_f] - I only see the word “solange” - “as long as”
[name_u]Paris[/name_u] - the [name_m]Hilton[/name_m] association is strong, but it has a long history as a name, so why not
[name_f]Harmoni[/name_f] - maybe when spelled correctly
[name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] - strong! a good name
[name_u]Kamari[/name_u] - I think of Calamares :confused:
[name_u]Zuri[/name_u] - brave but works
[name_f]Imani[/name_f] - reminds me of the word Imam… but that’s where the name comes from, right? so that’s not too bad?
[name_f]Nivea[/name_f] - the brand association is less bad with this one, I could see it work
[name_f]Brionna[/name_f] - works
[name_f]Kamiyah[/name_f] - unnecessarily complicated
[name_f]Kimora[/name_f] - the sound is nice, it looks random though
[name_f]Cierra[/name_f] - nice as [name_u]Sierra[/name_u].
[name_f]Maliyah[/name_f] - see [name_f]Kamiyah[/name_f]
[name_f]Destiny[/name_f] - word names can have it rough, but I think this one is established enough to work
[name_u]Dior[/name_u] - see [name_f]Chanel[/name_f]
[name_f]Yesenia[/name_f] - like
[name_u]Lyric[/name_u] - see [name_u]Dream[/name_u]
[name_f]Zendaya[/name_f] - see [name_f]Beyonce[/name_f]
[name_u]Diamond[/name_u] - see [name_u]Dream[/name_u]
[name_u]Legacy[/name_u] - hardly registers as a name
[name_f]Kiara[/name_f] - I prefer [name_f]Chiara[/name_f] but either works
[name_u]Royalty[/name_u] - ruined by the word royalties (as in payments)
[name_u]Halo[/name_u] - see [name_u]Dream[/name_u]. also, the game.
[name_f]Soraya[/name_f] - see [name_f]Jaylah[/name_f]
[name_f]Chicago[/name_f] - see [name_f]Essence[/name_f]
[name_f]Aniyah[/name_f] - see [name_f]Kamiyah[/name_f]
[name_f]Kulture[/name_f] - see [name_f]Essence[/name_f], even when spelled correctly
[name_f]Princess[/name_f] - titles are a no-no, but I can almost see it work for you
[name_u]Alexis[/name_u] - works
[name_f]Ashanti[/name_f] - brave but works
Naturi - sounds like a fake-italian surname, I’m not sure how to say it, either use [name_u]Nature[/name_u] or don’t.
[name_u]Angel[/name_u] - see [name_f]Destiny[/name_f] but the term angel baby drags it down
[name_f]Lauryn[/name_f] - I prefer [name_f]Lauren[/name_f] but either works
[name_f]Hope[/name_f] - nice!
[name_f]Bianca[/name_f] - also nice
[name_f]Kia[/name_f] - is a car brand, and not even a nice one
[name_f]Tiara[/name_f] - is too much the object. Also I think of how some websites make up fake meanings for that one
Nakiya - see [name_f]Kamiyah[/name_f]
[name_f]Kierra[/name_f] - see [name_f]Kiara[/name_f]
[name_f]Nia[/name_f] - a bit slim
[name_u]Shea[/name_u] - like the plant? [name_u]Shay[/name_u] works better
[name_f]Alondra[/name_f] - love that one!
[name_f]Heaven[/name_f] - see [name_u]Dream[/name_u]
[name_f]Sapphire[/name_f] - see [name_u]Dream[/name_u]

[name_f]Zariyah[/name_f] - see [name_f]Kamiyah[/name_f]
[name_f]Aiyana[/name_f] - see [name_f]Kamiyah[/name_f]

I would definitely take my opinions with a grain of salt because we have super different naming styles, but most of my dislikes were either too strong of association imo or they were just word names that I’m not a huge fan of.
