Hot Takes? 🤭

[Magnificent-Sunflowe]

I don’t get the hate for [name_f]Nevaeh[/name_f]. Yes, it’s heaven spelled backwards. What’s so bad about that?

[leafygreens]

I do love [name_f]Neveah[/name_f] no shame. I never realized the heaven thing until I looked it up and that’s all that would come up. I still think it’s adorable

[josieaitken]

I really can’t get over the “rude” sound in [name_u]Rudy[/name_u].

[Namify_2.0]

I dislike Patrick, Olivia, Theodora, Daniel, Samuel, William, Sophia, Leonard, Morgan and Maximiliano.

But I like Peter, Livia, Theodosia, Dan, Samara, Liam, Sofie, Leander, Megan and Maxwell.

So names are confusing and weird and that’s the hot take

[EllieWilbury]

Maybe hot take? not quite sure

but

[name_u]Morgan[/name_u] (b) = [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] (g) >>>>>>>>>>>> [name_f]Megan[/name_f]

[acajou]

[name_u]Morgan[/name_u] > [name_f]Megan[/name_f], especially if it’s [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] “Mo”

and on that note, [name_u]Moe[/name_u] / [name_u]Mo[/name_u] > any other nickname

Hi. Here’s a reminder:

The world isn’t English speaking. People speak a lot of other languages. And we, non-Anglophones, don’t consider how it sounds in English when naming our kids. Just like you don’t consider how the name sounds in Chinese or Swahili. Would be nice to remember this when making comments.

Thanks for reading and have a nice day

Thank you for saying this. I had a “nice” example of this a few days ago, although I repeatedly said I don’t care what it sounds like in English. And I’ve said it before on this thread.

[ethelmary]

That situation inspired me to write this

If an Elbow wasn’t a body part i could definitely see it as a popular name on here !!

[EllieWilbury]

[name_u]Dallas[/name_u] is so underappreciated

[Paxramena]

[name_m]Aric[/name_m] is kind of nice

[hannahhh]

[name_f]Ann[/name_f] > [name_u]Anne[/name_u]

[emmaleegrace]

Yes!! Elbow nn Ellie/Ella or [name_u]Bo[/name_u]!

[ladywiththelamp]

Ellabowa or Ellabow would be a popular variant.

[rosepip]

louna is superior to luna

[anon35922409]

i am not a fan of two middle names, but i do like when people have, like, four or five!

[Ameliaanwen]

I like the sound and connotations of [name_u]Cove[/name_u], but Covid ruined it for me ://

[Ameliaanwen]

Politely disagree! [name_u]Anne[/name_u] seems more complete to me (but I’m biased because it’s a family name aha)

[elanorelle]

@Ameliaanwen

I’m really not a fan of Elliott (or alternative spellings) for any gender (sorry!)

Same!!

[venezio]

if Driftwood wasn’t a word, i think it’d be pretty popular as a middle on here. Drift has a nice, soft sound and people on nameberry like the -wood ending
