One thing about me, you put a “Firstname Middlename “Nickname” 
” in front of my face for a little boy and I’m going to fall every time.
And each time I see this combination, I will be annoyed, because why are boys names so much sweeter than girls to me?!?!
I absolutely just don’t understand making a combo middle-first 
Like, “What first name goes with middle name (blank)?” or “What’s your favourite first name for (blank)?”
Maybe it’s just me but I view the middle name as… decoration for the first name, which is the one that actually matters 
[name_m]Even[/name_m] if it was an honour name I wouldn’t let it affect my first name choice! That’s the important one!
No hate to anyone who constructs combos this way, it’s just something I can’t wrap my head around personally
I fall in love with the names of children I work with all the time. I’m meh about [name_m]Frankie[/name_m] and then I meet a little girl with the sweetest smile and big blue eyes and she’s so independent and funny and all the sudden I want to name mine [name_m]Frankie[/name_m] too.
Oh thank god, i thought I was the only one I mean, I put a lot of thought and care into my children’s middle names, but I would never start out with a middle name and choose the first name based on that.
I know for a fact that I had 2-3 names written down somewhere that I wanted to make combos for to include in my new UC and I cannot remember for the life of me where I put them. [name_f]My[/name_f] notes? No. [name_f]My[/name_f] ongoing lists on Listography? No. [name_f]My[/name_f] private lists on Listography? No. [name_f]My[/name_f] docs? No. Where did they go?! What if these are the names?! 
I hate when I’m going through old lists and I see a name that is totally unexpected and has absolutely no explanation to it?!
Like [name_f]February[/name_f] 2022 [name_f]Mollie[/name_f], what do you mean [name_m]Galileo[/name_m] is an honor name?! For WHO?!
Not me attempting to find out why I was obsessed with the name Indonesia as an 8 year old…
“Common” or “expected” names tend to be easier for me to picture on a child. I can envision [name_m]Jack[/name_m] running around the playground more than [name_m]Agamemnon[/name_m] because I’ve met multiple Jacks.
But when I look at the names on paper they don’t have as much spark. So I gravitate towards more unexpected names that feel fresh and exciting… and get frustrated when I can’t picture my child with that name 
But which [name_m]Jack[/name_m] do you envision?
It’s so funny to me (and sometimes, mildly infuriating) how other people perceive names
Talking to my partner yesterday, he said names like [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] or [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] are “too much”… like, some of your favorite names are [name_m]Lysander[/name_m], [name_m]Laertes[/name_m], and [name_m]Carlisle[/name_m], but suddenly [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] and [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] are where the “too much” line is?
I was also like… you better not be thinking that when we eventually have to name children, because I’m pretty sure my entire style can be summed up by the words “too much”
Everything has the potential to be twisted into something bad. I wouldn’t discount a name just because some people have a negative association with that name. 9/10 it won’t matter at all in that kid’s life and it’s not something to obsess over.
This is not quite the same thing, but yesterday I was taking to my mother about celebrity baby names (as one does), and she went on a spiel about how awful the name [name_f]Louise[/name_f] is after hearing [name_f]Emma[/name_f] Stone’s daughter’s name, and I think that was the first time that I realized someone in the world truly will dislike literally any name you choose, so you may as well go with the one you love. 
Of course, there will be names that are more controversial than others, but you get my drift!
Weirdly enough, my mom despises the name [name_f]Emma[/name_f], which is one of the most popular names ever!
Ok, my parents are also prejudiced against the name Louise??? Is this a thing? I think maybe it just feels very outdated to that generation. Kind of a “mom name.”
There’s definitely something about [name_f]Louise[/name_f]! [name_f]My[/name_f] mom mentioned it as “the epitome of an old lady name” along the lines of [name_f]Ethel[/name_f]. I was shocked!? I could see if someone said it wasn’t super fashionable or is a common middle name (like [name_f]Marie[/name_f] or Rose) but this was unexpected.
I don’t like word names such as [name_f]Lark[/name_f] or [name_f]Wren[/name_f], unless the name is already well established such as [name_f]Dawn[/name_f], [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] or [name_m]Frank[/name_m].
why was this the first time it ever occured to me that [name_m]Frank[/name_m] is a word name 
As a word, ‘Frank’ means open and honest, as in 'I’ll be completely ‘frank’ with you. It was my grandfather’s name.
Some names really compliment each other and bring out the best qualities in each other. I like alot of names without loving them so to say. But some names just look so right next to each other, fitting perfectly that I end up feeling more excited about them as a sibset vs on their own.
How I feel about [name_f]Clara[/name_f]: 
How I feel about [name_m]Felix[/name_m]:
How I feel about [name_f]Clara[/name_f] & [name_m]Felix[/name_m] as a sibset: 
Funny you should say that, that’s how I’ve been thinking of [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] and [name_m]Felix[/name_m] lately!
