Thanks for starting this!!

When our friends had her little boy almost 4 years ago, I would rock him to sleep and imagine he was a little boy named Cian.

In my dreams, I have a little blonde-haired, firecracker named Orla.

My wife’s set on naming our (first) future son Ellis - but I keep feeling my heart tug towards Tadhg! I feel so connected to Tadhg but I don’t know how to convince my wife!! :sob::broken_heart:

Another girl name I feel like I’ve been tied to with my soul is Aoife.

I remember [name_m]Hendrik[/name_m] and [name_f]Mai[/name_f] (prn. May) very distinctly, but probably because I woke up surprised I’d used those names lol. They’re not names I’d ever consider, but interesting nonetheless!

I actually like the sound of [name_m]Ellis[/name_m] [name_m]Tadhg[/name_m] (if she won’t let me have [name_m]Tadhg[/name_m] as a first name!)

the past few weeks i’ve been dreaming a lot about having a vbac at home, which i would love, but i’m not stuck on the idea— i know our babies will come to us just how they are meant to! anyway, these have been the names those babies have chosen in my dreams…

[name_f][/name_f]

two nights consecutively about a week ago, i dreamt of boys. a huxley john[name_f][/name_f] and a woodrow john[name_f][/name_f]. interesting, since i often dream about a son of mine having the first or middle name john!

[name_f][/name_f]

the last two nights, it’s been girls, fern maeblythe[name_f][/name_f] and chavilah marigold[name_f][/name_f] :bouquet:

It must be amazing to dream up such gorgeous combos!! I mean, what an inspiration! In response to your last post, [name_f]Fern[/name_f] Maeblythe and Chavilah [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] are stunning!!! :heart_eyes:

[name_f][/name_f]

I have very, very vivid dreams but they rarely include names, especially not full combos. So it is very interesting to hear that for others, names permeate their dreams and often have strong meaning too! I will stay tuned for any name dreams on my part. What a cool topic idea!

I had a dream years ago that I had twin girls named [name_f]Myrtle[/name_f] and [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]. [name_f][/name_f] Right after my son was born I dreamed that we had another boy and named him [name_m]Walter[/name_m] nn ā€œWallyā€ [name_m]Douglas[/name_m] [name_m]Wayne[/name_m]. [name_f][/name_f] And when I was expecting our 3rd DD I dreamed we named her [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] Diane,sadly I couldn’t get my DH on board with that name. So she is forever in my dreams.

Absolutely love this thread :two_hearts:

[name_f][/name_f]

As a name nerd of course I’ve pondered on so many names but these have specifically to come in dreams…

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] is the first one! I know I’ve told this before but when I was pregnant with [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] I felt so lost as to what do and whether I could be a mum it was a tough time. Anyways the name [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] kept coming to me over and over again. The name/these dreams made me feel like YES I can be a mum so will be forever grateful and in love with [name_f]Imogen[/name_f].

[name_f][/name_f]

Recently I’ve had dreams featuring a little ray of sunshine girl named [name_f]June[/name_f]! [name_f]June[/name_f] is so joyous beautiful vintage name and combinations [name_f]June[/name_f] [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] + [name_f]June[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] have featured in my dreams.

[name_f][/name_f]

I also had a dream about my very very close friend Elfred@ who wants to have baby no.2 and we went round to visit this little baby dressed in a lemon print babygro named [name_f]Soleil[/name_f]. Not sure if the baby was a boy or a girl but since sharing this my friend who is a big believer in dreams will be having [name_f]Soleil[/name_f] as a middle name after a traditional Nigerian (Yoruba) first name which is cool.

I’m so thrilled one of these has been made that’s a bit more accessible than the other one in the Lounge! It’s always been one of my favorite topics, so I’m excited to follow along with this one, too. I think there is something so special and meaningful about a name coming to you in a dream…if that wasn’t abundantly clear by my posts about my own dreamy names :white_heart:

[name_f][/name_f]

Of course, I’ve got my [name_f]Violet[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] girl, whom I’ve dreamt of often but also begun to daydream about. I also recently dreamt of holding a little [name_f]Agnes[/name_f][name_f][/name_f], whom I was debating on giving the middle name [name_f]Birdie[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] or [name_f]Chrysanthemum[/name_f][name_f][/name_f]. :sunflower:

[name_f][/name_f]

Your [name_f]Fern[/name_f] Maeblythe and Chavilah [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] are both stunning. I don’t often dream of combos, mostly just firsts, but it must be so exciting to have such wonderful combos come to you as well!:first_quarter_moon_face:

It is so[name_f][/name_f] neat that your friend is intending to move your dream into her reality. I would feel so proud! :heart_eyes:[name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Soleil[/name_f] is a stunning name too. (as are [name_f]June[/name_f] & Imogen!)

While I daydream of names often, I’ve only ever dreamt a name in my sleep once[name_f][/name_f] that I can remember.

[name_f][/name_f]

Worse, that in this dream, my husband and I had twin babies, and I never saw/heard the girl’s name! I only remembered the boy, who was [name_m]Monty[/name_m] / [name_m]Monte[/name_m] :mount_fuji:

[name_f][/name_f]

I do adore the name, and have met one before, but it still felt sort of random! He is on my list now, though I’m still looking for the right long form. :blush:

I’m with @OctaviaMay[name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- I’m rather jealous of all the lovely names y’all dream about!

[name_f][/name_f]

I don’t dream about babies and naming them nearly as much as I used to, and now it’s usually dreams of my sister having a baby since she has two young boys. [name_f][/name_f] Usually I dream that she has a girl—she’s named them [name_m]Fairfax[/name_m] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] :unamused_face::unamused_face::joy::joy::joy:[name_f][/name_f] and [name_f]Natalie[/name_f] nn [name_f]Tilly[/name_f] (my sister’s name is[name_f][/name_f] N@talie lol).

[name_f][/name_f]

I do remember feeling a bit bummed when I had more regular baby dreams that none of the babies I had in my dreams were my favorite names! [name_f][/name_f] I did have a [name_f]Rachel[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] in my dreams when [name_f]Rachel[/name_f] was still in my top 5, but [name_f]Rachel[/name_f] hasn’t stayed a to 5 favorite, and I’d be much more excited to have encountered an [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] or an [name_f]Adele[/name_f] or an [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]!

[name_f][/name_f]

Several months ago, I did dream I married a man who had the most adorable, sweet, considerate, adventurous, cuddly little four-year-old tow headed boy named [name_m]Tobias[/name_m]. [name_f][/name_f] He went by the full [name_m]Tobias[/name_m]! [name_f][/name_f] It honestly made me fall in love with the name completely; up until then I was rather meh on it and liked [name_m]Tobiah[/name_m] more.

Honestly I had never had a dream before about [name_f]El[/name_f] so her having this baby names [name_f]Soleil[/name_f] being so strong was surreal but I love that she’s in love with [name_f]Soleil[/name_f] it’s an honour :green_heart:[name_f][/name_f] [name_m]Monty[/name_m] is adorable!
