Name Rants

I think [name_m]Rory[/name_m] can work if you just insist on it! I know a lot of people with nicknames that “don’t make sense” (at least not right away) and it works if you just try to enforce it! And [name_m]Rory[/name_m] does make sense to me. Other than that, maybe [name_f]Georgie[/name_f], [name_f]Gia[/name_f], [name_m]Joey[/name_m], [name_f]Jo[/name_f], [name_f]Jojo[/name_f], [name_m]Georges[/name_m] (pronounced Zorz)?


More of a Nameberry rant than a name rant, but I’m in [name_m]Germany[/name_m] rn and because of the location change that means I’m getting ads on Nameberry and I keep getting startled by them :sob: I’m used to random blank spaces between posts, not flashy colours!!

Why does [name_f]Elsa[/name_f] have to be so tied to [name_f]Disney[/name_f]? I feel like it would be so high on my list otherwise :cry:

When you come back on here after the absolute busiest last three weeks you’ve ever had only to discover you’ve been kicked out of the Lounge… :flushed::rage:

Also… when you finally come back to NB as your online refuge hoping to talk in the Lounge… and it’s just gone…

[name_f][/name_f]So annoying because some of my favourite threads are there!

@OctaviaMay[name_f][/name_f], @CattheBat13579[name_f][/name_f], @auroracallista[name_f][/name_f] [name_f]My[/name_f] ultimate tip is to spend a day scrolling through all of the NOTD/GPOTD/OTD threads, old “Baby Berries [name_m]Born[/name_m] In XYZ-ZYX” threads, and the old Quick [name_m]Poll[/name_m] threads :wink:[name_f][/name_f] I fell out once and was able to gain access back in a few days this way! If you stay in for a year then, you can lock your trust level so you can’t be booted from the lounge after a period of inactivity. I did all of this over two years ago, though, so rules might have changed!!

I REALLY love the nickname [name_m]Mars[/name_m] for a girl… except my dog’s nickname is [name_m]Mars[/name_m] (full name Marlow.) [name_m]Can[/name_m] I have two Mars’s at one time? SIGH

Only the [name_m]Lord[/name_m] knows how much I’m missing the Lounge right now, specifically @mellona’s Positivity Thread!

I miss the lounge so much too but it’s my own fault for only popping in once every few weeks (…or months :smiling_face_with_tear:[name_f][/name_f] grad school life…)

It’s been 6 years… my sister was pregnant and trying to find names she liked. I went through every name with her, and I was holding onto my absolute, most favourite name ever. She said, “just tell me, I’m probably not even going to like it, let alone use it.” And not only if she like it, she used it. And she made the middle name the name she said she didn’t like at all. It was the biggest slap in the face. We live so far apart and I’ve still not been able to fly back home to visit, and meet my niece in person, but she has my favourite name. And I don’t think I’ve ever forgiven my sister. We’ve never had the super close bond sisters usually have, and I stupidly thought she was reaching out to me during that time, to become close… alas, that didn’t happen.

This doesn’t really[name_f][/name_f] matter, but I feel like my style is consistent only in my own mind :sweat_smile:[name_f][/name_f] One day I’m obsessed with Cantemir and the next with [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] and it makes perfect sense to me! But it slightly bothers me that on the outside my style may look all over the place :sob:

This has me wondering if there were named after [name_m]Storm[/name_m] (the X-Men character)? :thinking:

I’m sure this has been expressed on here before, but it pains me every day the name [name_f]Isis[/name_f] has such negative connotations that make it unusable :sob:

[name_f][/name_f]

If it didn’t have these associations it would have the potential to be very very high on my list, but the way it stands it unfortunately has to be a guilty pleasure :(((

[name_f][/name_f]

Of course [name_f]Iris[/name_f] is very similar, and I like it, but nowhere near as much sadly! Anyway, rant over.
