I actually think Plover[name_f][/name_f] could be a really adorable name!!
[name_f][/name_f]
One, itās close to [name_f]Clover[/name_f] which is having a nature name moment
[name_f][/name_f]
Two, there are plenty of bird names in the zeitgeist (granted, some rarer than others), but I could totally see a little Plover fitting in alongside [name_m]Robin[/name_m], [name_m]Finch[/name_m], and Wren!!
[name_f][/name_f]
Nickname ideas could be Loey, [name_f]Lovey[/name_f], [name_f]Plum[/name_f], [name_f]Birdie[/name_f], [name_f]Lola[/name_f], or Plo !!
Re: the trinkets, I did always look for my name and I never found it. Now itās probably on things with a slightly different spelling because of the massively increased popularity, but I have no interest.
As a kid I overall preferred having an unusual name. I specifically liked that in elementary school I could just write my first name on things and didnāt have to include my last name because my name is long Kids are funny. The annoying things about my name had nothing to do with not seeing my name on things or in media or whatever, but were about people treating my name like it was difficult or eventually having to spell it for people all the time.
As a whole, I think I like the new emojis more than the old ones The more vibrant colours match the websiteās aesthetic and a lot of the colour schemes are a lot nicer! And the childlike vibe fits the theme!
Noteable outliers: They upset me and deserve life in jail for being such massive downgrades!!
I donāt want to hurt anyoneās feelings but this is hot takes.. [name_f][/name_f]I know [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] is a super popular name and donāt get me wrong itās cute, but I canāt get past the ālooseā part of [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], nor stop thinking of potential loosey goosey teasing. I feel itās unbecoming for a young lady to be honest. [name_f][/name_f]On another note I think [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] (pronounced Loo-sha) is beautiful, but it would probably be pronounced as loo-see-uh often and I just hear loose like in [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], which I really donāt like. So although I love it I would only use it for a middle (if that) [name_f][/name_f]I have a similar feeling about names like [name_f]Lila[/name_f] and [name_f]Lyra[/name_f]. Theyāre pretty names, but all I hear is the ālieā and it just feels very unbecoming to me as well. [name_f][/name_f]I only feel this way when the sound is in the first syllable though, like I donāt mind the ālieā in [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] (the line vs lyn pronunciation conundrum bothers me with those -line names but thatās a different story)
When pharmaceutical companies use names for drugs, it gets ruined for human names, and I canāt get past it when people use it for newborns after said medications have been heavily advertised. I just canāt shake the connection.
To be fair, as far as I know Allegra the medicine is only sold under this name in the US and Canada, so as a European I strictly think of it as an Italian first name!
[name_f]My[/name_f] hot take is that I absolutely despise when someone who has done zero research calls a name āmade upā! Especially if the name is actually very ancient / from a culture other than what that person may be used to. It just comes off as very ignorant to me!!
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]
Yes, this is because I saw someone refer to [name_m]Daphnis[/name_m] as āa made-up masculine version of Daphneā
this is probably not a hot take but smth people seem to forget
[name_f][/name_f]
donāt poke fun at peopleās names. especially if they[name_f][/name_f] named themselves. iāve noticed this mostly irl, i have a friend whose name is a day of the week and naturally theyāll sometimes get things like āhi tuesday!ā and āhi thursday!ā etc. and they donāt love it. my mother made a joke when i told my family my chosen name, she asked if i was sure it wasnāt arboUr because weāre in canada. that pissed me off so much (especially because i took it from latin, not the english word).
[name_f][/name_f]
just donāt do that unless you know the person is okay with it.
I have a super common name for someone born in the 90s and those trinkets still didnāt cater for my (common as muck) spelling of it, so I really donāt think the āitās unfair to name a kid something crazy!ā argument holds water I will also say those trinkets are genuinely dangerous if itās anything a kid can wear that a ill-meaning stranger might be able to read/call them by if, say, trying to convince the kid or a watching adult that they already know them
RIP to me learning [name_f]Elestren[/name_f] is a branded med in the US. Also true with companies naming their AI assistants and, occasionally, car models
I am rationally/irrationally not into the name [name_f]Enola[/name_f]. It has a cute sound, Iāll give you that. But [name_f]Enola[/name_f] [name_f]Gay[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f], alone backwards [name_f][/name_f], my phone autocorrects it to Ebola
[name_f][/name_f]
I have not seen the [name_f]Enola[/name_f] [name_m]Holmes[/name_m] movie so maybe that would change things for me? I see Berries loving this name and I just canāt.
I see you, but I raise youā¦alone backwards, the opposite (or the backwards) of alone is accompanied or together, meaning that a little Enola will always be surrounded with people who love her.
I loved the Enola Holmes movies when I watched them, but I think my own love of Enola comes from the fact that she feels so colorful, clunky, and literary!
Iām with you. I canāt separate it from [name_f]Enola[/name_f] [name_f]Gay[/name_f] in my mind to the point where it doesnāt even feel like a real name to me. But Iām happy for those who love it.
