Miriam the Cat and Muriel the Bunny

These are so cute!! Maybe I’ll have to do better than Ned the Dog

[flowellagrace]

@Ameliaanwen

ned is adorable on any little creature

Small correction → Honoring historical figures > Honoring family.

This is also becasuse everyone in my family seems to hate their names with passion, especially older gen like both my grandmas. I’m glad that I’m meh about mine.

[name_m]Ned[/name_m] is my dog’s name! My parents would have used it for my youngest sibling but she turned out to be a girl so you’re 100% correct, it’s great for either haha

[name_f]My[/name_f] hot take: I don’t think it’s weird to name your kid a name that you’ve already given to a pet. Can’t we honor pets too? Is it that confusing? Idk, I just don’t see why it’s a sin to name your kid after your pet.

Listening to Casefile podcast and the European pronounciation of [name_f]Alicia[/name_f] (uh-liss-EE-uh) is so much nicer than the Australian/American (uh_LEESH-uh) pronounciation. Why have we done this to ourselves???

[josieaitken]

That’s why I’m glad there’s [name_f]Alessia[/name_f]!

[venezio]

I’m american and I say Alicia like uh-liss-EE-uh! I’ve never heard it pronounced like uh-LEESH-uh

[almostactually]

[name_f]My[/name_f] cousin’s an Uh-leesh-uh, I I’ve also hear Uh-lee-see-uh and Uh-liss-ee-uh.

[kidpix21]

I know an [name_f]Allicia[/name_f], pronounced uh-LEESH-a. But I also know an [name_f]Elicia[/name_f] pronounced uh-LEES-ee-a

[leafygreens]

I like both but I instinctively say it uh-LEE-see-ah, I’ve never actually heard the uh-liss-ee-uh pronunciation

[kidpix21]

[name_u]Bellamy[/name_u] on a boy > [name_u]Bellamy[/name_u] on a girl
[name_u]Bailey[/name_u] on a boy > [name_u]Bailey[/name_u] on a girl

@kidpix21

Bellamy on a boy

Yes! I used to be so against Bellamy for a boy, but a few months ago, I started to really love it on boys!

[kidpix21]

That was literally me too

@taylorlou

European pronounciation of Alicia (uh-liss-EE-uh)

I’m which language? I’ve only ever heard it with the emphasis on the LEE (a-LEE-cee-a), which is why I’m asking.

[kasatka]

[name_f]My[/name_f] cat was named [name_m]Andrew[/name_m] [name_u]Montgomery[/name_u] III

if you count that HAHA

[taylorlou]

That’s interesting! Maybe it’s regional? I’ve just never heard any of the famous American ones (Keys, Silverstone…) pronounced that way.

@hannahhh

slightly unrelated but i love it when people give their dogs “human” names

Yes! My brother’s dog is named Fyodor (sometimes called Fyodog) and that’s just wonderful. He’s also had a dog called Floris.
