Tara, [name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f], [name_f]Rebekah[/name_f], [name_f]Sonya[/name_f], and [name_f]Frederica[/name_f] come to mind for girls – very rare on NB.
And for boys, I never see [name_m]Drake[/name_m], [name_m]Robert[/name_m], [name_m]Richard[/name_m], or [name_u]Seth[/name_u].

Oh, and I second @sweetcaroline’s lists!

I have actually never seen Outlander! Are all these names form that series? :joy:

One of the main characters is named [name_u]Jamie[/name_u] [name_m]Fraser[/name_m] lol

Speaking of those…
[name_m]How[/name_m] come no one is considering Hammurabi for their son? It would be such a distinctive choice, I think. :wink:

(No, but seriously. I had a genuine name crush on Hammurabi at one point. It would probably be WAY over-the-top irl, but still such a cool name, amiright?)

I feel like -iah boy names aren’t super popular on NB in general.

How would you pronounce it? I think the [name_m]Ham[/name_m]- sound might be a little strong and therefore slightly off putting. It sounds really good with a silent H though. But I am so tempted to say Hammurabi Code

I actually have always though that the [name_m]Ham[/name_m]- beginning isn’t pronounced like “ham”, but more like “hahm”, if that makes sense. So, I say hah-mur-ah-bee. :woman_shrugging:t3:

Oh I actually said it like [name_m]Ham[/name_m]- so maybe that’s why I wasn’t too keen on the sound. This does change my feelings a bit now though. Thanks for clearing that up!

i just got major flashbacks to ‘[name_m]Joseph[/name_m] and the Technicolour dream coat’ from those names!

I feel like I never see Rachel, [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f], [name_f]Roberta[/name_f], [name_f]Lorena[/name_f], [name_f]Miranda[/name_f], [name_f]Melissa[/name_f], or [name_f]Elaine[/name_f], which surprises me because they’re pretty traditional and not so “out there” that people wouldn’t have heard of them. Maybe people consider them slightly dated, so they don’t suggest them? Personally, I like them all. I don’t even see them in baby name games, which surprises me.

Miranda is amazing, I think it’s a name that should be huge on NB but for some reason it isn’t.

I agree! It’s such a pretty name and the nickname options are incredible- [name_f]Mira[/name_f], [name_f]Miri[/name_f], [name_u]Mandy[/name_u], and [name_u]Randie[/name_u]! I wish I saw it more.
