I'll rename you in Icelandic

While I’m waiting for this baby to decide she’s ready to arrive, I might as well do something useful :sweat_smile:

Tell me a little bit about yourself, and I’ll give you an Icelandic / Old Norse name.

Please specify if you’d like a male, female or gender neutral name, and how many middles you’d like. If you have any other preference (like an initial, for example), feel free to let me know.

Disclaimer: as baby could be here any day now, I may not be able to do all of the requests.

This is so sweet! I’d love to see mine :slight_smile:

Female name, any number of middles (the more the merrier)!

I’m pretty short, with short strawberry blonde hair, freckles, and glasses. I love names, cats (all animals, really), and being outside in the sunshine! I also love all things fruit related (I have a strawberry tattoo!), so something like that would be cute as well :smiley:

Kind of short, but love to see what you’ll pick. Best of luck to you and baby as well!

Yes please, I love this! Could I get a feminine name with initials IK? :smiling_face:

Edit: Where’s my reading comprehension this morning. :woman_facepalming: Forgot to tell anything about myself! I’m into mythology & nature, literature, gothic books, and earthy colours. :evergreen_tree: :crescent_moon:

Female name please and either one or two, up to 3 (not past) middle names is fine thanks:)

I am average height (possibly on the shorter side depending where you’re from - I’m 5’3), caucasian of Swiss [name_m]German[/name_m], [name_u]French[/name_u], and Romanian descent, medium to dark brown wavy hair and I have a tendency to develop reddish highlights, blue eyes, sometimes I wear glaases and/or contacts but I am bad at remembering to. I look pretty healthy, played soccer in high school but am 21 years old now so it’s been a few years

I like most all music minus country, I have a huge interest in foreign languages and cultures, love to read and daydream, very independent. [name_f]My[/name_f] favorite animal would have to be the immortal jellyfish. [name_f]My[/name_f] favorite housepet is a dog (due to me adopting one named Melanie), and if I could live or visit anywhere indefinitely I would travel to [name_f]Samoa[/name_f] + [name_u]America[/name_u] [name_f]Samoa[/name_f].

No worries if you don’t get to it, but I’d love to see what mine would be.

I’m a quiet and awkward person who likes writing, reading, drawing and long walks. [name_f]My[/name_f] favourite things include [name_f]Villette[/name_f] by [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Bronte[/name_f], BBC Ghosts, my guinea pigs and being by the sea.

I’d love a fem or unisex name with one middle please!!

I’d like a feminine name, with as many middles as you like!

Something related to Wednesday (the show) perhaps? I’m obsessed with it as of late. My favourite characters would be, apart from Wednesday of course, Enid, Tyler (I know sigh) and Xavier. If that isn’t possible, then:

I am quite tall, at about 5’11. I have auburn hair (reddish-brown) and hazel eyes. I write stories and essays, sometimes even poems, although I would admit I am rubbish at poetry. I am a Slytherin and an INFJ. My friends describe me as a ‘hopeless romantic’ but I don’t know if that is true or not, maybe it is. I like watching Marvel movies & shows. They are a favourite pass time of mine. I read a lot.

Hoping you have a safe, healthy & happy delivery. :heart:

I’m a university student studying art history. I love museums and art, of course, but also reading, traveling, and watching movies with family and friends.

About me

I have dark wavy hair and dark green eyes that everyone thinks are brown. I’m tall and I have glasses that I usually forget to wear.
I am not a fan of people & I’m happiest alone with a book and listening to music. My favorite colors are purple & turquoise. I love reading, writing, singing, & correcting grammar. I play piano and flute

About me

If you have time, I would love a gender neutral or feminine leaning name. I’m a [name_u]Christian[/name_u] which is very important to me, and also a crunchy health-nut mom to four that I homeschool. I love fantasy and magic (huge D&D and video game nerd :sweat_smile:).

Wishing you the absolute best with your sweet little one and that you’ll be holding her soon. :blush: Those last weeks/days of pregnancy are longer than all the rest combined, I swear!

I’d like a fem name, please. I’m petite, with brown hair (with natural gold highlights) that goes to my waist. [name_f]My[/name_f] eyes are so dark brown that they look black from afar. I’m pretty tanned, but it fades a lot in the winter. Some things I enjoy are playing the piano, reading (specifically fantasy or mystery,) running cross country, and writing. I’m not an athletic or tomboyish person, but I do like to run and I love the beauty of nature. I’m an introvert, quiet, and I enjoy learning. I love names obviously, ice cream, tea, campfires, and cats :joy:

ooh I love Icelandic names - the one’s you’ve done so far are amazing. I would love a feminine name if you get a chance. very much looking forward to seeing your announcement for [name_f]Vienna[/name_f]!

a bit about me

I’m a college student who is hoping to apply to PhD programs next year for molecular biology. I spend most of my time in the lab and I hope to work on scientific research that benefits people’s lives.
I have brown hair, in a bob cut, and have glasses that I cannot see without. [name_f]My[/name_f] favorite book is The Master and [name_f]Margarita[/name_f]. I pride myself on being ‘solid’ - I commit to things and stick to them (with the exception of my top name list), I work steadily and keep things pretty predictable, if something goes wrong or gets off course I get back on track quickly.

oh, Ró, this is so sweet of you to do!! please don’t worry if you can’t get to me! :heart:

if you have the time, I’d love a fem and/or neutral name please, whatever you think works best is perfect!!

a little about me:

i’m a 5’2 ball of anxiety. I have long dark brown hair, hazel eyes, chubby cheeks + freckles, and very long (natural) nails that are always painted black. I have been called a vampire by people my whole life, if that helps with imagery :sweat_smile: I’m super into music (especially music in the rock genres - favorite bands are twenty one pilots & my chemical romance), and horror/halloween/spooky things also play an important role in my life (i was named after a horror movie character!), and I think those reflect in my style! i also love watching shows/movies, reading, cats (i have a bunch of them, and black cats have a special place in my heart), concerts, anything fantasy related (especially lotr & game of thrones ), flowers + the ocean, names, poetry, the stars, and autumn/winter.
kindness is the most important thing to me in the world, and i try to spread it wherever i go. i love helping people, and i hope to always be lucky enough to continue doing so.
few extra details: hufflepuff (though i dont like harry potter!), infp, daydreamer, queer feminist :smiling_face:
hope i didn’t give too much, sorry! I never know what to include :sweat_smile:

again, please no worries if you aren’t able to get to me! sending you & V so much love, and wishing you both a safe & healthy delivery!! :heart:

Summary

I am pretty short, around 5’2 and have wavy-ish brown hair just past my chin. I am currently in school for nursing. [name_f]My[/name_f] birthday is on the winter solstice, if that means anything. If you could do a feminine name, that would be great!

This sounds like fun! Praying for the safe arrival of your baby!

I’d prefer a feminine name, a first and middle. I think I’d like for the first name to start with a K, if that’s okay!

I have black hair, green and gold-brown eyes, I’m pretty short, and I have floral tattoos on my arms. I love animals and nature, I love to cook, and I enjoy spending my time reading books or hiking/climbing. I also like mythology, and learning about ancient cultures and languages!
