Hot Takes? 🤭

“[name_f]Honey[/name_f], I just thought it would be really sweet if we had a [name_u]James[/name_u] jr…because I love you…no other reason”

I don’t like it when both the first and middle name are both a word.
I love word names. They’re probably my favorite type of name. I just think that putting two or more together seems like a bit too much.

This bothers me SO much. [name_f]Katy[/name_f] [name_u]Perry[/name_u] and [name_m]Orlando[/name_m] [name_f]Bloom[/name_f] recently named their daughter [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u] [name_f]Bloom[/name_f], which is not two but three word names in a row and it set my teeth on edge!

Ooh yes

Hot take: [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_u]Dove[/name_u] [name_f]Bloom[/name_f]’s name is overly cutesy.

@ethelmary

Hot take: Daisy Dove Bloom’s name is overly cutesy.

That too!

My hot take is that the purpose of sib sets matching is for us as recommenders to have an idea of what the namer’s taste is as a starting point. Names having to go together is not a real thing — they end up going together because generally names that fall within the [name_m]Venn[/name_m] diagram of what the parents like, their culture, life experiences, are going to probably have a lot in common, but if they don’t… it’s fine and in real life no one cares. It’s a much bigger deal day to day if the names are too similar than if they are different

[leafygreens]

Hot take- I’ve never been able to like [name_f]Nell[/name_f]. I feel like I should like it in theory cause it matches some of my favs, like as a sibset, [name_f]Mavis[/name_f] and [name_f]Nell[/name_f] would sound adorable but I just can’t get into it. It kinda makes me sad too cause I see really pretty combos with [name_f]Nell[/name_f] and I love it in the combo but I never love the name itself

[leafygreens]

Your [name_f]Nell[/name_f] combo was the one I was mostly talking about

[ethelmary]

Me a while ago: I can’t see the appeal in [name_f]Nell[/name_f] at all I don’t know what people like about it
Me a bit ago: [name_f]Nell[/name_f] is the most perfect name ever I wish I could pair everything with it

Now I’m kind of bored… after loving it so much it just doesn’t sparkle

[leafygreens]

It’s definitely a complement I love that combo

[leafygreens]

I think that could be part of it too for me cause a while ago it was EVERYWHERE

[aiksx]

im the same i really want to like the one syllable nickname names like [name_f]Nell[/name_f] and [name_f]Liv[/name_f] i see here but they feel almost restrictive to me ? imo the longer versions have more room for personality- for the person to make their own but that’s not to say i don’t adore them in other people’s combinations

[Kipperbo1]

I felt that way a few years ago, namely with [name_f]Nell[/name_f] and [name_f]Tess[/name_f] (I like Nellie and Tessa!), but now I absolutely love them!

[anon80426808]

I really don’t like [name_f]Lucy[/name_f].

[Sorceress]

Neither do I. I think it’s too short, and prefer longer forms such as [name_f]Lucia[/name_f]/Lucienne

[EllieWilbury]

Hot take: [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] is cute but [name_f]Lumi[/name_f] is perfection

[GenEric]

A hotter take: Estonian names like [name_f]Lumi[/name_f] (which is also Finnish) are slept on.

[anon91011817]

Ottilie & Co.™ are overrated

[OpheliaFlora]

@anon91011817

& Co.™

What are these secret names you’re hiding under the label Co. here?

[anon91011817]

names like [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] that I can’t think of

[ladyforgetful]

Not a big fan of [name_f]Opal[/name_f]!
