Hey! I wanted to ask you how hard it is to find the name you really like. For me it is REALLY hard! Especially when it comes to boy names! [name_f]My[/name_f] style differs so normally it shouldn’t be hard, but I have to make sure its something I REALLY like! I also make sure its a name I will keep for a little while

Finding a name I love: hard, especially for boys I have nothing

So far, I only have a few names for both boys and girls. I don’t have enough to make a Top 5 list for either. It is easy to find a name I like, harder to find a name I love and near impossible to connect with a name that I can’t imagine not trying to give my children. I’m still sorting through names and trying to connect to a couple more per gender, but it’s not happening right now.

For girls, I find lots of names I really like and could see myself potentially using. I start loving a name when I think about it more in my head and come up with combos for that name. For boys, it’s a million times harder and I can find names I somewhat like, but would never see myself using or like there’s some sort of meh association for the name.

For me, it is very easy with boy names. There’s like 40 boy names that I would use, I hope I have many sons in the future😅
But what it comes to girl names, I only really like a few. The only ones I would say I love are [name_f]Isabella[/name_f], [name_f]Victoria[/name_f], [name_f]Viviana[/name_f] and [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f].

I would say finding names I like is easy, but finding names I love and would actually use for a child is difficult. [name_f]My[/name_f] favourite names have stayed pretty much the same for years (I remember loving [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] when I was about 14) and it’s rare for me to find a new name that I love 100%.

Boys names come super easy to me! I know what I like, and my style is very consistent. I have an easier time connecting with boys names in a sentimental kind of way— my list has been roughly the same for years.
Girls names are a totally different story. I like everything well enough, but when it comes to true love or what i can imagine on an actual child of mine— it’s very difficult for me to settle. This year I have hit an absolute wall with names 
Have definitely considered abandoning girls names all together and just saying my boys list is gender neutral.

For girls there’s quite a few I like, but only a couple I 100% love and would consider using.
Boys are much harder, the few in my UC are the only ones I really like, I’m not even sure I love any of them

I love lots of girls names, but I find it harder with boys.

It’s impossible for me, especially with boys’ names.

I’ve found it pretty easy to find girl names that I love. They’re so beautiful and flow so elegantly together.
Boy names though. Boy names are a different story. There’s boy names I like, but nothing that I get excited about or love as much as the girl names. I’m glad I’m not alone in that issue because it seems like a lot of other people struggle with boy names too! What is it about boy names that make it so hard!?

It’s hard for me to find names I love enough to use, but it’s not too hard for me to find names I like ok. There’s no real difference between boys and girls names for me. I have about 2 or so names I love for each gender and a bunch I like ok. I think of the ones I love as being A+ names and the ones I just like being B- or better.

I could name a dozen sons easily, but there aren’t many girls’ names I love. Honestly, there aren’t really ANY girls’ names I can see clearly on my own child.

I could name about 100 girls, but for boys, I love basically nothing 
[name_f]My[/name_f] style is also pretty all over the place for both and mismatched between the two, so that doesn’t really help.

I guess it’s a little difficult… the thing is, most of the names on my list are names I’ve loved for forever. I don’t usually actively try to find new name loves unless I have a gap in my list. [name_m]Even[/name_m] then, most names just work there way up my list naturally.

I can imagine myself having girls so much more than I can imagine myself having boys, and I think because of this, I can imagine my daughters with more names than I can imagine my sons. I’m fairly confident that I’ll be able to find a girl name I can agree on with a future spouse, no matter what his style is but I don’t know if I’ll love a boy name as much as I can love a girl name.

Pretty easy for girls.
Extremely difficult for boys. I just dislike almost every boy name - I’m generally fine with the names on other people, but on my own child… Very difficult.

Finding a name I like isn’t that hard, but I usually fall out of love with it pretty quickly. There was a period a few weeks ago where I was coming up with so many names to add to my list, but I can think of nothing new at this moment in time. It’s usually easier for me to find girl names, because I have a more wide range of styles on my list. Boy names are very hard because I have one very specific style.

It is easy for me to like a name, even to love a name, but it is difficult to find one I would use in real life. It is partially because I had a last name that was easy to poke fun at so I want a name to be as foolproof as possible, and I teach young kids so I’ve heard what they come up with. I know that any name is teasable, but one that can obviously lead to teasing is totally out no matter how much I like it. It makes naming seem impossible, but I have found a few that are pretty solid! Most names that I love I will not use, or it will be a middle.
