Help!! We really like the name [name_f]Maureen[/name_f] but we couldn’t possibly use it because I had a dream where by some bizarre twist of fate and a few huge coincidences she might just possibly marry a king and [name_f]Queen[/name_f] [name_f]Maureen[/name_f] just doesn’t work!! [name_f]Do[/name_f] you have suggestions for names like [name_f]Maureen[/name_f] which do not rhyme with [name_f]Queen[/name_f]??? Oh, and it has to go with sisters Paiyezzleigh and [name_f]Bathsheba[/name_f].
Thank you!!

Our daughter was born yesterday! We named her [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] after grandma [name_f]Sharon[/name_f] ([name_f]Sharon[/name_f] means “a plain,” which spelled backwards is ‘nailpa,’ which, when you run it through a vignere cipher, becomes ‘solrco,’ which has 4 of the same letters as [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f].)

I can’t believe the makers of this site-- authors of multiple best-selling name books, media personages, etc-- DARE to have an opinion on a given name. (That disagrees with mine).
Also they totally messed up on this extremely minor point of Greek mythology in one of their name descriptions so they’re brazenly, disgustingly discriminatory against my religion.

Wdyt of [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] instead or [name_u]Madison[/name_u] [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]???”

Let’s see:
‘We decided to name our son [name_m]Louis[/name_m]. It’s got two legitimate pronunciations ‘loo-ee’ and ‘loo-iss’ but we’ve decided to pronounce it ‘el-OH-eez’ because we have no respect for [name_m]French[/name_m] culture. :)’
Or, my personal favourite:
A: I need a character name for my super important story for English class. I can’t tell you the plot because I’m a fourteen year old literary genius and I know someone will steal it. [name_f]My[/name_f] main character is a tall girl with long blonde hair like spun silk, bright blue eyes and the body of a model. She’s beautiful but doesn’t know it and everyone loves her. She’s brave, spunky, really clever, practically perfect in every way and other extremely detailed physical and personal attributes that contribute nothing to the family background that produced her name. HELP!! I can’t do this by myself!!
B: [name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_u]Emerson[/name_u], [name_u]Dylan[/name_u], [name_f]Jessica[/name_f] or another of the hundred names I spent time thinking up for you?
A: I like those but none of them feel like ‘her’. Oh and I just remembered it’s set in [name_u]Sweden[/name_u].
B: Oh… right. Well, maybe [name_f]Anne[/name_f]-[name_m]Britte[/name_m], [name_u]Dagny[/name_u] or [name_f]Fredrika[/name_f]?
A: I don’t know. My main male character is called Frederick by the way. Anyone else have any suggestions?
…many similar posts later…
A: Thanks for your help everyone. In the end I used my own imagination and chose [name_f]Aphrodite[/name_f] Mariko [name_m]Smith[/name_m].

[name_m]How[/name_m] about?:
“OMGGGGG!! A film that may or may not be forgotten 6 months from now just used my favourite name for a character. [name_m]WILL[/name_m] THIS NAME BECOME POPULAR?! [name_m]Even[/name_m] though I’m 13 and over a decade away from having children, I MUST obsess right now over whether this name will rocket to the top of the charts and stay there. PLEASE give me your opinions, which are nothing more than conjectures at this point!”

My favorites are the completely random, extremely subjective, nonsensical ‘associations’ which makes someone veto a name.
A: “Hey, can I get your opinions on my list?”
B:
Francine: sorry I think of cheetos
Lucia: lol why would you name a kid after a cardboard box
Jessamine: ponies! yah this one’s great!

A: “So, I am expecting TWIN GIRLS! and I need help with their names. I am [name_f]East[/name_f] European, but live in [name_u]America[/name_u], so I need names that reflect my heritage. Our other 5 kids are:

Cherubashka [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]
Snegurochka [name_f]Eloise[/name_f]
Dinamo [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]”
B: You can’t possibly be Eastern European. Those aren’t names, just random Russian words and locations.
