Charlene>Charlize
Lark>Wren

@katkabet

Oona >>>>> Una 100

@Namify_2.0

Una> Oona

Idk Una and Oona give me just completely different vibes. Oona makes me think of some sparkling, elegant sea goddess or something and Una makes me think of Una Stubbs and because of that Mrs. Hudson, so I think of a sweet yet feisty woman who doesn’t mind getting her hands dirty

Agreed! Oona gives me “selkie girl on the stormy Scottish coast” vibes.

Not every name has to be a unisex name

@Ellory

Okay but Ella, Rosemary nn Romy?

romilly nn romy i love romy, but not rosemary ):

[bertha_bernard]

[name_u]Berry[/name_u] names I see a lot, but have never loved: [name_u]River[/name_u], [name_u]Florence[/name_u], [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f].

I have very classic, traditional taste, but I secretly love most bird names. I have an inexplicable name crush on [name_u]Meadowlark[/name_u] and [name_u]Starling[/name_u]. I would never be brave enough to use them, and my husband definitely wouldn’t. But they’re really whimsical and romantic to me. Please send help.

Name Rankings (Hot Takes Spinoff)

For all your personal name rankings! I’ll start with: [name_m]Caspar[/name_m] > [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_f]Margot[/name_f] > [name_f]Margo[/name_f] > [name_f]Margaux[/name_f] [name_m]Benedict[/name_m] >>> [name_m]Ben[/name_m] > [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] > [name_m]Benny[/name_m]

Do name ranking on here.

This is going to be a very hot take, I think.
Giving a boy’s name to a girl or a girl’s name to a boy does not make that name “fresh”, “new”, or “different”. It’s literally just the same name.

[EllieWilbury]

[name_m]Roosevelt[/name_m] is a lovely name that deserved more appreciation a lil [name_m]Roosevelt[/name_m] “Rosy”

[venezio]

Roosevelt “Rosy” that’s so adorable

[EllieWilbury]

Isn’t it??

but then any [name_f]Rose[/name_f] name or [name_f]Rose[/name_f] soundalike (except [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f]? for some reason) I just automatically love even the weird ones! Rosenthal, Rosebud, Rosebay, Rosenblom…

[firefly305]

I love Game of Thrones names and I would not judge people for using most of them, but I don’t like Khaleesi/Daenerys.

@prairierose

dorothy >>> dorothea

Yep

[venezio]

in a usercard, anything goes. use whatever names you want! they don’t have to be cohesive! you can use a name multiple times! they don’t even have to be “real” names! just live your life!

(i always see people being worried about these things for their uc, which is why i consider this a hot take)

[Namify_2.0]

I would like to live like that, but everything I do is bounded by strict rules and realism, I can’t have hopes unless the are plausible and defined

[Namify_2.0]

When people have the name [name_u]Antonia[/name_u], I hear [name_m]Antonio[/name_m] instead. So now I hear [name_m]Antonio[/name_m] and think of a girls name. Help

I’m the same way. Due to where I am in my life, and what my future holds, I am looking at realistic combos. Sure, I have a few dream combos, but I won’t be able to use them so they don’t get attention.

[Namify_2.0]

Also [name_m]Bernard[/name_m] is dated, but I think it is really cute for a little boy too!

[ethelmary]

What makes you assume thinking a name is ‘too common’ and ‘thoughtless’ are the same thing? No. I won’t call [name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] a brilliant, fascinating, super exciting name; but if there’s a meaning behind it that’s great. The meaning doesn’t change how popular it is. I will say a name is too common - because what’s more normal than discussing a name’s popularity?! I don’t say people who choose popular names are thoughtless and boring. That’s their personal taste and I respect that. I always appreciate a good story too. But if they ask my opinions on names, why shouldn’t I mention how I feel about it? If I met an [name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] I’d think, oh, another one. Why does that make me rude or offensive? I never said that was thoughtless. It just doesn’t excite me. I find it boring to be entirely honest. And I mention that. [name_m]Just[/name_m] like I mention how exciting a name sounds. I don’t judge anyone about it.

I’m sorry if you were ever offended by this, but I can’t understand why you assume people think common = thoughtless.

Oh my gosh, I thought it was just me!
