Hot Takes? 🤭

QuillAndCompass · October 12, 2020, 11:26pm

Ok, here we go:

I adore “girl” names on boys and “boy” names on girls (side note, I’m non-binary and strongly wish people would ease up with gendering, but please don’t be a jerk in replies)
“Unisex” names are so cool and way underused.
I love love LOVE word names (please do talk to me about it)
I wish I could love [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] but I have so many bad associations with the name because of a person.

I also love word names! Mine mostly are religious, but there’s loads of others I love as well, haha.

EagleEyes · October 12, 2020, 11:27pm

Completely agree! [name_f]My[/name_f] entire UC at the moment is unisex first names

QuillAndCompass · October 12, 2020, 11:28pm

Oooh, what’re your favourites?

QuillAndCompass · October 12, 2020, 11:29pm

Hey, that’s so cool! Sorry, I’m new - what’s UC?

EagleEyes · October 12, 2020, 11:32pm

UC is ‘user card’ - it’s where you can display your favorite names (Common Nameberry Abbreviations) You can find it by clicking on somebody’s username!

YES!! [name_m]Ive[/name_m] been saying this FOREVER! End gendered names 2020

anon80426808 · October 13, 2020, 4:10pm

If you’re going to pick a name, solely to use one nickname and introduce your kid by that one nickname for the rest of their life, just give them the nickname as their name.

anon68597861 · October 13, 2020, 4:17pm

Gosh, I’m in LOVE with [name_u]Laurie[/name_u]! Why’d [name_u]Jo[/name_u] say no?!?

carlene.denae · October 13, 2020, 4:47pm

This is my life quote.

almostactually · October 13, 2020, 4:50pm

I know why she said no, but I can’t say that I would have done the same.

carlene.denae · October 13, 2020, 4:52pm

[name_m]Art[/name_m] and [name_m]Artie[/name_m] are completely unisex. I don’t understand why they’re not considered as such???

Also, my sister named a male character of hers [name_u]Nova[/name_u] and now I’m in love with [name_u]Nova[/name_u] being unisex as well. !!!

anon80426808 · October 13, 2020, 4:59pm

I can only ever see [name_u]James[/name_u] on a dude. Sorry.

anon68597861 · October 13, 2020, 5:15pm

I know right!

carlene.denae · October 13, 2020, 5:17pm

Yeah, same. [name_u]James[/name_u] just can’t be a girl name to me. I can’t see it.

lbliss1029 · October 13, 2020, 6:15pm

My name is [name_f]Layla[/name_f] and I am white. It was also my great-great-grandmother’s name and she was white too
