Hello berries! I came across an old post on Youcan’tcallitit called [name_u]Urban[/name_u] [name_u]Baby[/name_u] Urbanity. People told their (real or hypothetical) children’s names an people guessed what the mom and/or family were like. It was pretty fun to see how spot on or off people’s guesses were. Here are a few examples from YCCII and [name_u]Urban[/name_u] [name_u]Baby[/name_u]:
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]- You pray that a British family moves in next door and that the mom becomes your bff.
[name_u]Luca[/name_u]- Mom is a well-travelled city girl. [name_u]Luca[/name_u] wears his hair long and you love that his favorite color is purple. Vegetarian.
Parents are country trying to be cool and modern but sadly failing (hope these aren’t actually your kids…)
[name_f]Ramona[/name_f] [name_u]Billie[/name_u] “[name_u]Romy[/name_u]”- likes to ride horses and braid peoples hair
[name_m]Fredrick[/name_m] [name_m]Bastian[/name_m] “[name_m]Fitz[/name_m]”- helps out a lot at home but is a nerd at heart and wants to go to college
[name_f]Maisie[/name_f] [name_f]Flora[/name_f]- little rebel, everything has to go her way
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Maxfield[/name_m]- baby of the family: cries about everything but is still loved
[name_u]Bailey[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]-went through every name that ended with -ailey and decided on the first one.
[name_u]Payton[/name_u] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]-was confused if it was a boy or a girl then once they were positive it was a girl they made the middle name the grandmother’s name.
[name_m]Wyatt[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]-dad said “why” and mom liked it
[name_f]Kaylee[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] – Parents wanted a modern name mixed with classic. But…it doesn’t flow
[name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u] [name_u]Rae[/name_u] – gender was unknown, so they chose a unisex name
[name_f]Danita[/name_f] [name_f]Soleil[/name_f] – honors Grandpa [name_m]Dan[/name_m] and [name_f]Soleil[/name_f] is because she was born in the summer.
[name_f]Alivia[/name_f] [name_f]Poet[/name_f] - liked the name [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] but wanted to be different so spelt it with an A, wanted a very unique middle name
[name_f]Mila[/name_f] [name_f]Paige[/name_f]- like [name_f]Mila[/name_f] Kunis, filler middle name, maybe likes to read
[name_f]Isabeau[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]- like [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] but to popular, chose [name_f]Isabeau[/name_f] instead, [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] could honour family, or like shakespeare
Parents are fully [name_m]French[/name_m] and used [name_m]French[/name_m] names to honor their heritage. Parents are [name_f]Annelle[/name_f] [name_f]Jolie[/name_f] and [name_m]Beau[/name_m] [name_m]Leon[/name_m]
[name_m]Gustav[/name_m] [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] ‘[name_u]Gus[/name_u]’- [name_m]Gustav[/name_m] is after [name_m]Beau[/name_m]'s grandfather and [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] is after Annelles uncle. He goes by [name_u]Gus[/name_u] so that it is easier for other children to say. [name_u]Gus[/name_u] is a bookworm and loves to learn.
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m] [name_m]Russell[/name_m] ‘[name_u]Freddie[/name_u]’- [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] is after [name_f]Annelle[/name_f]'s brother and [name_m]Russell[/name_m] is just a name both parents agreed on. [name_u]Freddie[/name_u] is very outgoing and loves to play adventures.
[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] ‘[name_u]Romy[/name_u] (Rom-me)’- [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] is after [name_f]Annelle[/name_f]'s mother, [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f].

She also loves to act and sing!
[name_f]Prudence[/name_f] [name_f]Darla[/name_f] ‘[name_f]Pru[/name_f]’- The youngest, [name_f]Pru[/name_f] is named after [name_m]Beau[/name_m]'s grandmother. [name_f]Pru[/name_f] is the youngest and loves anything girly. She loves to dance and play with her dolls and dress up as a princess!
Wow! Mine were purely hypothetical of course. I actually live in a big suburb in metro [name_f]Atlanta[/name_f], but I want to move to a bigger city one day. I actually love horses though, but the only way I would live in a rural area would be if I owned a big ranch.
You live in a small suburb and your family is outdoorsy.
[name_u]Bailey[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]- the firecracker of the family
[name_u]Peyton[/name_u] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]- a kind, helpful girl
[name_m]Wyatt[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]- adventurous, likes cowboys
Your family resides in the suburbs. You’re the All American preppy types. One parent is an educator. You wanted names in the top 1000 but uncommon enough that the kids won’t have multiple kids in their class with their name. You try to picture the name on a lawyer, doctor, and president.
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]- loved [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] and after almost deciding that she wouldn’t have a middle name decided on [name_u]June[/name_u] to honor a family member. You hate how popular [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] has become recently.
[name_u]Porter[/name_u] [name_m]Atticus[/name_m]- One parent loved [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] while the other was in to the occupation/surname name trend and after agreeing to use [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] as a middle name he became [name_u]Porter[/name_u] [name_m]Atticus[/name_m].
[name_m]Russell[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u]- [name_m]Russell[/name_m] is a name that you both liked and [name_u]Everett[/name_u] was second runner up.
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]- You used your favorite girls name on [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] and this baby looked like a [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]. You liked [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] but you couldn’t picture [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] at [name_m]Harvard[/name_m], so you used it as a middle name. You cringe every time you meet another [name_f]Caroline[/name_f].
[name_u]Quinn[/name_u] [name_m]Jonah[/name_m]- You were worried about [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] being too unisex, so you put the almost exclusively male [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] in the middle
They’re mother is weirdly into kids’ movies, taking [name_f]Dinah[/name_f] from [name_f]Alice[/name_f] in Wonderland and [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] from [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]. [name_f]Cecily[/name_f] and [name_m]Lionel[/name_m] are the father’s grandparents.
Mother chose [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] because of the song, Sweet [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] [name_m]Brown[/name_m]. [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] was chosen because it’s both vintage and moderately popular, although the parents are disappointed by how trendy it gotten. [name_u]Kieran[/name_u] was chosen because the dad likes [name_m]Kevin[/name_m], which the mom deemed too overdone.
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u] [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f]"[name_u]June[/name_u]"
[name_f]Calliope[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f]“Clio”
The parents are hippies at heart and most likely vegetarians as well.
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u] [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f]- parents raise as a vegetarian too. She insists on being called by her full first name as she gets older.
[name_f]Calliope[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f]- the complete opposite, she rebels from her family and will only be called [name_f]Callie[/name_f]. She goes on to become a doctor.
The parents are sensible people. They’d like to fit in while still standing out to a certain degree. Some people would call them yuppies.
[name_f]Jacqueline[/name_f] [name_u]Taylor[/name_u]- A very compliant,elegant girl who hates being called [name_u]Jackie[/name_u] or [name_m]Jack[/name_m]
[name_f]Nicolette[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]- A spirited, spunky girl who likes performing
[name_m]Robert[/name_m] [name_u]Drew[/name_u]- an athlete, a bit spoiled since he is the baby of the family
The parents are fairly young.
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]- Like cute fn, Wanted play on the classical name [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]. Quiet girl who doesn’t like new people or places
[name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f]- Name is cute. [name_m]Just[/name_m] like her sister, [name_f]Daisy[/name_f].
[name_f]Sofia[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_m]Marco[/name_m] [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] and [name_m]Silas[/name_m] [name_m]Alejandro[/name_m]
Isobela [name_f]Grace[/name_f]
[name_m]Emilio[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]

[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_u]Jude[/name_u]
