General Name Discussion Bandwagon
1

This is such[name_f][/name_f] a sweet bandagon, I had to join in! Full credit to @readingreverie[name_f][/name_f] for the lovely idea :orange_heart:

[name_f][/name_f]

I struggle to think of names for the moodboards based mostly on the childrenā€™s looks, so I tried to make mine more vibes-based! Then my girlfriend also made one of her own vision for us and our future children :smiling_face_with_tear:[name_f][/name_f] Iā€™ve included both!

[name_f][/name_f]

We both had childhoods in smaller, more rural communities and weā€™d love that for our children! Sheā€™s from [name_m]Germany[/name_m] and Iā€™m from Greece. I think of a cosy and maximalist home full of trinkets and childrenā€™s art on the walls, surrounded by nature and small town charm. [name_f]My[/name_f] mum read to me every day before bed and I want to continue that tradition too! Storybooks in different languages, weekend bike rides to the library, adventures in nature around our home in Central Europe, sunny summer holidays back in Greece, Saturdays spent in the kitchen baking together, little kids in colourful wooly jumpers, muddy knees, folklore stories about mythical creatures, crafting bracelets as good luck charms, that sort of vibe.

[name_f][/name_f]

So, the moodboards!! :strawberry:

And the usual questions:
[name_f][/name_f]1. What would you name children solely based on this aesthetic?
[name_f][/name_f]2. What would you name them based on the aesthetic + my style? You can check out my UC or listography for inspo![name_f][/name_f] Especially the ā€œour namesā€ section of my listography is a good indicator! You can choose to use those names, come up with your own based off of them, or both!

I canā€™t wait to see what you think of :yellow_heart:

Thank you so much for tagging me! I love that this has caught on as a bandwagon. :white_heart:

@readingreverie[name_f][/name_f] Thank you for the thoughtful response [name_f]Mollie[/name_f], itā€™s so fun to see what names youā€™d choose as well! [name_m]George[/name_m] especially is darling and totally fits, Iā€™d so use him if I could! :smiling_face_with_tear:[name_f][/name_f] And I love your combos inspired by my style ā€“ [name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Elisavet[/name_f] is so chic and sparkly and bookish! I love [name_m]Ilija[/name_m] [name_m]Konstantin[/name_m] of course, itā€™s in my UC, and it makes me really happy to hear that itā€™d be your go-to as well, your combos always have a lovely flow! And sorry for talking your ear off, but [name_m]Valentin[/name_m] [name_m]Johann[/name_m] is just so[name_f][/name_f] handsome too!!

[name_f][/name_f]

So many of your recommendations are already on my long list, itā€™s great to hear that my broader style fits the aesthetic too! Some new ones that Iā€™ll definitely want to add are [name_m]Augustine[/name_m], [name_f]Maxima[/name_f] and [name_f]Olivette[/name_f] :sparkles:

[name_f][/name_f]

Thanks so much!! <3

@tori101[name_f][/name_f] Oh [name_m]Sandy[/name_m] on a boy is so adorable, and I love your [name_f]Verity[/name_f] for this aesthetic so much too! Plus [name_f]Trudy[/name_f] and [name_f]Demelza[/name_f], such fun names!! I adore[name_f][/name_f] the sibset of [name_f]Flora[/name_f] & [name_f]Una[/name_f] (itā€™s really sweet and airy in a sort of minimalist way) and [name_f]Dorotea[/name_f] is a fantastic idea, thank you so much :orange_heart:

[name_f][/name_f]

@Greyblue[name_f][/name_f] Such a lovely list, thank you Grace!! All the names fit really well but I wouldnā€™t have thought of them myself! I especially adore [name_f]Tilda[/name_f], [name_m]Milan[/name_m], [name_f]Sabina[/name_f], [name_m]Aksel[/name_m], [name_m]Stellan[/name_m], [name_f]Tova[/name_f] and [name_m]Sylvan[/name_m] from your initial vibes list :orange_heart:[name_f][/name_f] And the combos based on my listography are so darling!! [name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Elisavet[/name_f] is really[name_f][/name_f] pretty and really like my style. [name_m]Maxim[/name_m] [name_m]Roan[/name_m] is so[name_f][/name_f] nice, it makes me love the individual names even more! [name_m]Stellan[/name_m] [name_m]Emmanuel[/name_m] is just as handsome and Iā€™m in love with [name_f]Karolina[/name_f] [name_f]Teodora[/name_f] (I usually donā€™t think to pair longer names together but I really do like this!!)

[name_f][/name_f]

And last (but not least!), you were absolutely spot-on with Emiliyan, [name_f]Lenya[/name_f], Rosica and Apolina!! Theyā€™ll definitely be going on my list, thanks so much!
