Hope you like mess - Girls

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] ,

Once again my lists are way way too long and way way too messy. So once again I’m hoping I’m not overstaying my welcome and asking for any thoughts , combos or ideas. I need tough love because this is way way too long. I’m think roughly between 25-50 of the unisex names and 15-30 of the girls names

The vibe -


Okay, some tough love on the ones I’d lose:

Summary

[name_u]Breslin[/name_u] > sound wise, it just feels clunky and harsh, not quite as breezy and cool as your vibe
[name_f]Busy[/name_f] → doesn’t feel like a name and seems like quite a specific descriptor
[name_u]Burgundy[/name_u] → heavy and clunky, evokes a colour different to the vibe you want
[name_u]Delight[/name_u] → quite specific, might be hard to always like up to
[name_u]Dynasty[/name_u] → pretentious and unappealing
[name_f]Gidget[/name_f] → sound like the name of an app or a piece of tech
[name_f]Vreeland[/name_f] → clunky and doesn’t really flow off the tongue
Carpenter → doesn’t really flow off the tongue
[name_m]Chaplain[/name_m] → too specific/descriptive
Delaware → doesn’t appeal as a name, feels industrial compared to the vibe
Keeper → I can imagine jokes being made out of this one - ‘such a keeper’, zoo keeper, keeper of someone else
[name_u]Cobalt[/name_u] → doesn’t roll of the tongue for me
Seeker → similar to Keeper, just feels a bit weird as a name
Teller → see above
[name_u]Vale[/name_u] → doesn’t fit the vibe for me
Spears → feels tied to one person?

I would lose…

Summary

[name_f]Busy[/name_f] & [name_f]Cozy[/name_f] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] them as nicknames, but I think they’re too descriptive to work on their own
[name_u]Cricket[/name_u] - Again, love as a nickname, or even as a fun middle name! But it’s just too insecty as a first name
[name_f]Daytona[/name_f] - I just think of the [name_u]Dayton[/name_u] Agreement… Maybe it’s me being a fan of European history, and the association isn’t as obvious to others as it is to me, but I just find it wayyy too strongly associated with a very recent war
[name_u]Delight[/name_u] & [name_u]Dynasty[/name_u] - The previous poster mirrors my thoughts
[name_u]Gemini[/name_u] - Weird if she’s not a gemini, but also weird if she is one. I’d stick to [name_f]Gem[/name_f] or [name_f]Gemma[/name_f]
[name_f]Gidget[/name_f] - I just think of gadget, it doesn’t sound like a name to me
[name_u]Kirby[/name_u] - I think most people would only see this as the videogame character! It’s like naming your twin boys [name_m]Mario[/name_m] & [name_m]Luigi[/name_m]
[name_f]Steely[/name_f] - Similar to [name_u]Teal[/name_u], but out of the two I much prefer Teal’s sound, so I’d keep [name_u]Teal[/name_u] over [name_f]Steely[/name_f]
[name_u]Tulsa[/name_u] - The sound just isn’t very attractive to me - it makes me think ‘pulse’
[name_f]Vreeland[/name_f] & [name_u]Courtland[/name_u] - [name_m]Just[/name_m] a bit too out there, I struggle to see them as names when they have “land” in them
[name_u]Athens[/name_u] - As someone who is from the most famous [name_u]Athens[/name_u] out there, I’d admittedly find it offputting and odd for someone to use it if they have no connection to the city
[name_f]Brindle[/name_f] - I wouldn’t name a little girl after something you see in animals, it feels a bit mean?
[name_u]East[/name_u] - Too much like ‘yeast’
Hennessey - Absolutely too strongly related to alcohol
Keeper & Seeker - What the previous poster said
[name_f]Rumer[/name_f] - I just hear “rumour”, unfortunately!
[name_m]Sparks[/name_m] - Maybe it’s because of how stereotypical of a dog name Sparky is, but [name_m]Sparks[/name_m] also reads as very dog-like to me
Spears - I love [name_f]Britney[/name_f], but it’s a no from me :sweat_smile:

[name_f]Girl[/name_f] names to remove:

Summary

[name_f]Busy[/name_f] - I know the nameberry page says this is a nickname for [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], but everyone else is going to hear this as “always working”. It doesn’t really seem like a nice word to name a child.

[name_u]Dusty[/name_u] - like [name_f]Busy[/name_f], this seems like another unpleasant adjective name, normally when something is dusty that’s a bad thing because you have to clean it.

[name_u]Dynasty[/name_u] and [name_f]Gidget[/name_f] - I agree with the first two posters on these, sorry.

[name_f]Steely[/name_f] - it just sounds so… cold and industrial. Not the vibe you’re going for at all.

[name_u]Breeze[/name_u], [name_f]Glimmer[/name_f], [name_f]Shine[/name_f], [name_u]Bliss[/name_u], [name_u]Delight[/name_u], [name_f]Cozy[/name_f], and [name_f]Velvet[/name_f] all sound like they’d be hard to take seriously.

[name_f]Girl[/name_f] names that should stay:

Summary

[name_u]Halcyon[/name_u]
[name_u]Starling[/name_u]
[name_u]Lark[/name_u]
[name_u]Lazuli[/name_u]
[name_f]Winslet[/name_f]

They’re unusual, but still pretty and usable, I think.

Unisex names to remove:

Summary

Carpenter, [name_m]Chaplain[/name_m], [name_u]Drummer[/name_u] - these are all still used too much as occupations to really work well as first names, I think. It’s kind of weird to have a person named “Carpenter” who’s actually a doctor, for example.

[name_m]Fields[/name_m], [name_m]Sparks[/name_m], Spears, [name_m]Woods[/name_m], Seeker, Teller, [name_u]Cobalt[/name_u], [name_u]East[/name_u], [name_u]North[/name_u], [name_u]Pace[/name_u], [name_u]Silver[/name_u], Keeper, [name_m]Anchor[/name_m], Alpine, [name_m]Chord[/name_m], [name_m]Hart[/name_m], [name_m]Castle[/name_m] -
Again, I think all of these are too similar to common words and will be confusing as first names. Middle names maybe?

[name_f]Rumer[/name_f] - it just makes me think of rumors and gossip

[name_u]Swayze[/name_u] - I have no idea how you pronounce this and I think other people won’t know either

[name_u]Vegas[/name_u] - I know it means “meadows”, and that’s nice, but people are going to react like you named your child “Gambling”. Have you considered [name_u]Vega[/name_u], if you like the sound and meaning?

Unisex names that should stay:

Summary

[name_u]Denali[/name_u]
[name_u]Revel[/name_u]
[name_u]Tierney[/name_u]
[name_u]Venice[/name_u]
[name_u]Vesper[/name_u]
[name_u]Windsor[/name_u]

Good luck with your name list.

That being said, I found some inspiration from your list to think of names I do like:

[name_u]Albany[/name_u] (I like [name_u]Alba[/name_u] and Albus)
[name_f]Tuesday[/name_f] (I like the nickname Tess)
[name_u]Laramie[/name_u] (I like Lara-Mae and [name_f]Lorelie[/name_f] (laura-lie))
[name_u]Silver[/name_u] (I like [name_u]Sylvester[/name_u] and Sylvia)
[name_u]Vegas[/name_u] (I prefer Vega)
[name_u]Vesper[/name_u] (I prefer Vespa)
