šŸ’ Louise will give you a curated list!

Iā€™m feeling very[name_f][/name_f] un-inspired by my names lately, so I thought it would be fun to dive into some list curating.

[name_f][/name_f]

Pitch me your request: could be a description of your style, a list of your favourite names and combos, an aesthetic youā€™re looking for, or a name/combo youā€™d want siblings for! Sort of a name guru inspired thread, but a bit more flexible for me since I can decide how much time I want to put into it!

[name_f][/name_f]

Iā€™ll be responding at my own speed, but feel free to request as much as you want, and Iā€™ll try to get to them!

Fun!

[name_f][/name_f]

Iā€™m looking for a name that is the epitome of the ā€˜divine feminine.ā€™ Think powerful, graceful, and fierce all in one package. Something that carries strength, wisdom, and a bit of mysteryā€”kind of like [name_f]Athena[/name_f], [name_f]Morrigan[/name_f], [name_f]Lilith[/name_f], or [name_f]Nyx[/name_f]. Would love to see what youā€™ve got!

[name_f][/name_f]

Alternatively, if youā€™d like another challenge, Iā€™d love to see what youā€™d come up with for sibling names for [name_f]Athena[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] and [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] (separate). Again, no pressure! Thanks.

Hello, [name_f]Louise[/name_f]! Thank you so much for offering to do this! :rainbow:

[name_f][/name_f]

If you have the time and energy, I would love some help finding for ideas for siblings to Aetheria [name_f]Odette[/name_f] [name_f]Nimue[/name_f][name_f][/name_f]! I feel like you know my style a bit, but if you need more inspiration, feel free to take a look at my usercard, as many of my favorites are there! I would describe my style as somewhat grand, ancient, eclectic, mythology and fantasy inspired, and generally over-the-top! :grin:

[name_f][/name_f]

I hope my brief is not too complicated! [name_m]Feel[/name_m] free to skip me if it is! :sweat_smile:[name_f][/name_f] Thank you so much again if you choose to take on my request, and have a fantastic day! :yellow_heart:

Okay Iā€™ve been waiting for this one :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

[name_f][/name_f]

I have been struggling immensely with my style lately. Feeling a bit burnt out on names, and indecisive about my criteria (I made it too strict and now Iā€™m not sure what actually matters). Iā€™m sort of starting over with names rn.

[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f]my write up[name_f][/name_f]

As a general description of the vibe:
[name_f][/name_f]I love quirky names, I love vintage names. They can be ā€œcrustyā€ or ā€œclunky,ā€ but I donā€™t like them to feel super buttoned down, prim and proper. Ideally, the name would be rare in the US but not shocking. Maybe it was your grandparentā€™s name, maybe youā€™ve read it in a book. [name_f]My[/name_f] career is in science (PhD student in immunology) but I also work as a member of the Nameberry team [name_f][/name_f]ā€” so I feel like my childrenā€™s names should balance those two lives a bit [name_f][/name_f]ā€” steady and weighted, but exciting and interesting.
[name_f][/name_f]I foresee my kids being total weirdos. Theyā€™d create a language, wear capes to the grocery store, put on dramatic performances with the family dog. Thinking tortoiseshell glasses, [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Janes[/name_f], science experiments taking up the dinner table, and amateur sleuthery.

[name_f][/name_f]

Some names that I like already:
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Bram[/name_m], [name_m]Ernest[/name_m], [name_m]Grover[/name_m], [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], [name_m]Percy[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Agnes[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], [name_f]Ida[/name_f], [name_f]Maude[/name_f], [name_f]Romy[/name_f], [name_f]Thora[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f](My dogs are [name_m]Finn[/name_m] + Walter)

[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Lou[/name_f], I would take any and all insight you can give me. Want to curate my list a little? Works for me. Have a combo to suggest? Iā€™m all ears. You aestheticized some names? Excited! Want to tell me what my future child will be named? Hereā€™s a pen and a birth certificate.

[name_f][/name_f]

Thank you!!!

Oh Louise!! This is so exciting!

I would love to hear what names you would add / think fit with the names my partner and I both love (so far!). Iā€™ve been slowly suggesting names to her and would love to have fresh ideas :smiling_face:

Our kids will have one art museum parent and one lab scientist parent so their lives will definitely be a mixture of craft projects and kitchen table experiments!! I hope to raise curious, kind, quietly brave, and passionate kiddos. We love the childrenā€™s book protagonist vibe for names ā€” what that means may vary depending on whoā€™s saying it.

So far our list is:
Margot, Kizzy, Jane, Elsie
Henry, James, Miles

ā€¦ and lots of unfortunate nos from her already: Rowan, Matilda, Ramona, Nellie / Nella, Libby, Eva, Max, Rudy, Cosmo

(Frances, Louisa, Opal, and Nell are maybes so if you think I should fight harder for any of those based on vibe Iā€™d love to hear that too!)

This sounds great!
[name_f][/name_f]Iā€™ve been feeling bored with my current lists. I love names that lend themselves to nicknames (I.e. [name_f]Hannelore[/name_f] nn [name_f]Nellie[/name_f], [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] nn Penn), more unusual names (I.e. [name_f]Ludivine[/name_f], Alucard), surname names (I.e. Sellers, Granger), names with an international/European/Scandi flair (I.e. [name_f]Zosia[/name_f], Tryggve), etc. [name_f]My[/name_f] current top favorite combos are [name_m]Kennet[/name_m] [name_m]Evander[/name_m] [name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Kit[/name_m][name_f][/name_f] and [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Columba[/name_f] [name_f]Jean[/name_f] [name_f]Alba[/name_f][name_f][/name_f]. Iā€™d be grateful for any ideas you have for me.
[name_f][/name_f]Thank you!!!

Thank you for offering this!

[name_f][/name_f]

Iā€™d love to get some ideas similar to: [name_m]Nai[/name_m], [name_f]Romy[/name_f], Tez, [name_f]Mab[/name_f], [name_f]Tassie[/name_f], [name_m]Sol[/name_m], [name_f]Katri[/name_f], [name_f]Nell[/name_f], [name_f]Joni[/name_f], [name_m]Ziggy[/name_m], [name_f]Dessie[/name_f], [name_f]Deenie[/name_f], [name_m]Kite[/name_m], [name_f]Scout[/name_f], [name_f]Ro[/name_f], [name_f]Mitzi[/name_f], [name_f]Bebe[/name_f], [name_m]Mack[/name_m], [name_f]Wynn[/name_f], [name_f]Winry[/name_f], [name_m]Merle[/name_m], [name_m]Thaniel[/name_m], [name_m]Tor[/name_m], [name_f]Keedie[/name_f], [name_f]Jilly[/name_f], [name_m]Taz[/name_m]

[name_f][/name_f]

Take as much time as you need [name_f][/name_f]- and no worries if you donā€™t get to this one!

[name_m]Hi[/name_m]! Iā€™d like suggestions of more combos for my UC, which so far, has [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f], [name_f]Celia[/name_f] Marianthe, [name_m]Emrys[/name_m] [name_m]Taliesin[/name_m], and [name_m]Dante[/name_m] [name_m]Leonidas[/name_m].

[name_f][/name_f]

The vibe is marble statues draped in ivy and wisteria, dew-covered cobwebs catching the sunlight on a spring morning, bees and dragonflies buzzing through the air, forests and marshes shrouded in mist, the smell of campfire smoke and sea salt, windswept cliffs.

[name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f]

(Iā€™m reading through this thread and just wanted to show my appreciation for [name_m]Emrys[/name_m] [name_m]Taliesin[/name_m], I love it)

So fun! Thanks for doing this! I would like a list of vintage girl names, preferably with lots of nick name options but not too common, like, [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] and [name_f]Theadora[/name_f]. If you feels so inspired :blush:

Baudelarian and romantic, symbolist 19th century gothic with a touch of French-Italian boheme and European chic, perhaps with a touch of nobilty here and there from [name_m]German[/name_m] Polish and Slavic influences.

Oh, [name_f]Louise[/name_f], how fun!

[name_f][/name_f]

You have many requests already, so please feel free to skip mine! :slight_smile:

[name_f][/name_f]

Right now, my favorite names are: [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], [name_f]Ada[/name_f], [name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], [name_f]Ruby[/name_f], [name_f]Martha[/name_f], [name_f]Susanna[/name_f], [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m], [name_m]Asher[/name_m], [name_m]Ezra[/name_m], [name_m]Levi[/name_m], [name_m]Asa[/name_m], [name_m]Tobias[/name_m], [name_m]Jonah[/name_m], [name_m]Eli[/name_m], [name_m]Noah[/name_m], [name_m]Jude[/name_m], [name_m]Isaiah[/name_m], [name_m]Rowan[/name_m], and [name_m]Gideon[/name_m].

This is so sweet Lou!! Only if you have time, but I would love more grand, historic-cool boys names like [name_m]Ulysses[/name_m] and [name_m]Hadrian[/name_m] !!
[name_f][/name_f]Anything you think fits the vibe :slight_smile:
[name_f][/name_f]Thanks so much :green_heart:

Could you please let me know which order you prefer for this name (with Merlowe being the stand in for my husbandā€™s real last name, which sounds similar. This would be for a real child):

[name_f][/name_f]

S@skia Leon0r [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] Merlowe

[name_f][/name_f]

S@skia [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] Loen0r Merlowe

[name_f][/name_f]

I see the first as more regal & poised, and the second, more lyrical & whimsical.

[name_f][/name_f]

Are there any Spanish names (as an honour) you would sub in for [name_f]Leonor[/name_f] instead? [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] was my grandmotherā€™s name so would like to keep.

[name_f][/name_f]

Thank you! :cherries:

I would love to see some names inspired by this moodboard šŸ©·
