Kurt Cobain was a name nerd?

General Name Discussion

I don’t know if this is genuine, but has anyone seen this (supposed) handwritten list of potential baby names from when Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love had their daughter Frances Bean?

The girls names in particular scream 2021 name-nerd to me and aren’t all that typical of what was popular back in the 90s.

I’ve put an asterisk next to my faves, let me know what yours are!

I’ve never seen this before, how interesting. I wonder where he got his inspiration from (I’m guessing literature?). [name_f]Bryony[/name_f] is intriguing because it’s not really a name that Americans use (compared to Brits), so I wonder where he heard it.

This is really cool! Makes you think about what they would have gone with if they had had more children.

This makes me so happy. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: :heart_eyes:

I’m not surprised. [name_f]Frances[/name_f] is a fabulous name, that wasn’t very expected when she was born. I like so many of these! Particularly [name_f]Clementine[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f] & [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. But [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] would have been so interesting!

Thanks for sharing. :slight_smile:

Okay this is slightly funny to me bc one of the 10 Frankies I thought of while naming my cat was [name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_m]Cobain[/name_m]. I call her [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] [name_u]Bean[/name_u] sometimes. I also really like [name_u]Eden[/name_u], [name_f]Annabel[/name_f], [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] and [name_f]Clementine[/name_f].
