I’m far from pregnant, but the other day, I was trying to think of names which go well with my last name. Because the name is awful in basically every way, I generally do some variation of the whole keyboard smash/cry thing when I try to figure things out, but finals week breeds productivity (read: increasingly creative ways to avoid studying), and I eventually made a reasonably sized list.
Some of these are just first names and some are combos; either way, I’d love any and all opinions! Keep in mind that I have zero intentions of having a baby any time soon. So not only is this super hypothetical, but I really don’t have to worry about sibling names matching.
GIRLS
f/m combos:
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Cosima[/name_f]
[name_m]Will[/name_m] the character seem less prominent in 10/20 years?
[name_f]Briony[/name_f] [name_f]Amabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]
individual names:
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f]
[name_f]Isadora[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f]
[name_u]Wren[/name_u]
BOYS
f/m combos:
[name_m]Abel[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] - too much like ‘able?’ [name_m]Even[/name_m] if the association with able is positive, as a disabled person, I’d reaaaaally prefer not to name a child that.
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_u]Hudson[/name_u]
[name_m]Fabian[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u]
individual names:
[name_m]Simon[/name_m]
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m]
[name_u]Theo[/name_u]/[name_m]Theodore[/name_m]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] (not with [name_f]Cosima[/name_f]–two Orphan [name_m]Black[/name_m] names is probably one too many (; )
Thoughts? I’d be very interested in any additions to this list you can think of–especially with boys names, where I always find it most difficult to think of names that are both quirky and wearable–as well as more combinations made up of names either on or off this list.
Thanks so much, guys! <3
