nothing necessarily wrong with the name [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_f]Paige[/name_f], even for a baby with a leg deformity. You could call her “Meg” to keep the sound similar or something like “Maggie” if you like diminutives ending with ie?
You want to name your baby girl [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_u]Rain[/name_u] after your dear best friend, but weeks before delivery you see on the news that she’s been charged with several homicides! You don’t want to honor a possible serial killer, but you still like the nature theme and nickname possiblities of her first name. What else can you come up on such a short notice?
You have the perfect name for your little girl, [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f]. But…the gender reveal was, um, wrong. Now, you have a baby boy. You want to keep the old fashioned theme and really love the way [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] and [name_f]Margot[/name_f] sound together, so they want a name with good rhythm.
[name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f] wants to name their daughter, [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_u]Maria[/name_u] [name_f]Benedicta[/name_f]. [name_m]Buzz[/name_m] wants to name her, [name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_f]Leia[/name_f] Organa. They can’t agree, so they’ve decided to have a catholic first name for [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f], a fandom middle name for [name_m]Buzz[/name_m], & a surprise second middle that they can agree on. What’s the baby girl’s name to be?
You couldn’t think of any names at all for your B/G twins that could match but you were convinced you could let it slide until the last month. But oops! You actually went into labour a month early! What names do you come up with?
[name_u]Rose[/name_u] [name_f]Umbrielle[/name_f] and [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_m]Uriel[/name_m]
You were going to name your baby girl [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Audrey[/name_f], but found out after the child was born that it was a boy. You still really want to give him a flower first name and a middle name starting with Au.
The mother was going to name her son [name_u]Henry[/name_u] [name_m]Jonathan[/name_m] [name_m]Jr[/name_m]. after the baby’s father but the day before the birth…the father abandoned them both. She wants an entirely different name for her son, what will she choose?
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] after her father, [name_u]James[/name_u], & her male best friend, [name_u]Sascha[/name_u].
[name_f]Jacinta[/name_f] & [name_u]David[/name_u] have children named [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_u]Maria[/name_u] [name_f]Benedicta[/name_f], [name_f]Therese[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f], [name_f]Veronica[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_u]Anne[/name_u], & [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Michaela[/name_f] [name_u]Joan[/name_u]. The newest child was to be a boy & was to be named [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_u]John[/name_u] [name_u]Francis[/name_u]. Well, [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] is here & all was well & good until it was discovered that [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] was hiding two other baby boys & another girl in there with him. The boys will be named [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] & [name_m]Stephen[/name_m], give them catholic middle names & name the baby girl with all catholic names.
Anna-Kate and [name_m]Roman[/name_m] were expecting a boy they planned to name [name_u]Halston[/name_u] [name_u]Gray[/name_u]. [name_u]Halston[/name_u] arrived but he had a sister hiding with him. They want a double-barreled name like Anna-Kate’s but one they fits well with [name_u]Halston[/name_u] and a middle name that’s a one syllable word name.
You and your partner were planning to name your baby girl [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] [name_u]Whitney[/name_u], [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] after your grandmother [name_f]Anna[/name_f] and [name_u]Whitney[/name_u] after your partner’s sister (same name). It turns out that you’re actually having a baby boy, but you still want to honor [name_f]Anna[/name_f] and [name_u]Whitney[/name_u] in some way with his name.
You and your partner were planning on adopting a baby girl named [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. The adoption went great, but, soon afterwards, you found out you were expecting twins, a boy and a girl. You would like the new babies’ names to match their sister’s.
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_u]Miles[/name_u] [name_u]John[/name_u] and [name_u]Jade[/name_u] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
You were planning on naming your son [name_u]Jude[/name_u], to honour your grandmother [name_f]Judith[/name_f], but surprise! Meet your sister’s new boyfriend, [name_u]Jude[/name_u]! If their relationship works out long term, you don’t want your son to feel like he doesn’t have his own name (and if it doesn’t, you don’t want people to think you named your baby after your sister’s boyfriend either). What name do you pick now?
You have always wanted to name your future son [name_u]Radley[/name_u] [name_u]Evan[/name_u]. [name_u]Radley[/name_u] because you love the name and [name_u]Evan[/name_u] because it’s the last name of your favorite actor. However, your partner hates the name [name_u]Radley[/name_u] because he associates it with a nasty uncle of his. And, just a month before your due date, some very unsavory truths come out about your favorite actor. What now?
[name_m]Reiner[/name_m] [name_m]Cato[/name_m]
*Cato means intelligence, reflecting enlightenment (?)
You were going to name your daughter [name_f]Mia[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f], but several people you know have used both names and it could become confusing. You want your daughter’s first name to be short and cute - no more than 3 letters long, while her middle name begins with ‘El’ but [name_f]Elena[/name_f] and [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] have already been vetoed by you and your partner as they belong to close family members. What do you do?
You thought you were having a baby girl, who you wanted to name [name_f]Angelique[/name_f] [name_f]Ruby[/name_f]. [name_f]Angelique[/name_f] after your great grandmother and [name_f]Ruby[/name_f] after a favorite aunt of yours. Surprise! Your baby is born and it’s a boy! What now? You still want to honor those two people.
Assuming [name_f]Baby[/name_f] #6 is still born female, [name_f]Delaney[/name_f] [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f] would stay. Her brother and sister, 7 & 8, are [name_m]Desmond[/name_m] [name_m]Charlot[/name_m] [name_m]Rémy[/name_m] and [name_f]Dora[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] [name_f]Ramona[/name_f].
Warning for medical problems.
You want to honour your friend [name_f]Amy[/name_f] [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_m]Warden[/name_m], who is going through severe illness, but naming your daughter after her. However one day she’s unable to care for her 7-year-old son [name_m]Amos[/name_m] [name_m]Marco[/name_m], and you decide to take him in. However, you realise you can’t make your daughter’s name too similar to Amos’s name. What do you name her?
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f] has sons [name_m]Robin[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_m]Michael[/name_m], [name_m]Phoenix[/name_m] [name_m]James[/name_m] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m], & [name_f]Larkin[/name_f] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Charles[/name_m] & daughters [name_f]Sparrow[/name_f] [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Dove[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Lydia[/name_f], [name_f]Nightingale[/name_f] [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] [name_f]Agnes[/name_f], & [name_f]Wren[/name_f] [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] [name_f]Bridget[/name_f]. She wants to name her newest daughter, [name_f]Luna[/name_f] [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f], but she’s painted herself into a corner! What now?!
Luscinia [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] “Luna” (Luscinia is a type of passerine birds, e.g. nightingales). However, irl I’d just recommend using [name_f]Luna[/name_f] and don’t overthink it.
[name_m]Nicholas[/name_m] [name_m]Aaron[/name_m] is the sixth male in his family with this name. He wants to uphold this tradition in the name of his first son by all means. However, his three daughters are named [name_f]Reina[/name_f], [name_m]Adair[/name_m] & [name_f]Maren[/name_f]. Nick’s wife [name_f]Mandy[/name_f] is keen to maintain the five-letter pattern. The situation is complicated by the fact that Mandy’s cousin named her son [name_m]Nikko[/name_m] the other day. What to do?
Swap it around to [name_m]Aaron[/name_m] [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m].
[name_f]May[/name_f] And [name_m]Cal[/name_m] are expecting a baby girl that they plan on giving a three letter name as well. However, Cal’s mother, who they both love dearly, has expressed excitement that the baby might be named [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], after her. They have, without reconsideration, chosen [name_f]Laura[/name_f] for their daughter’s middle name. How can they stick to what they want while also honoring Cal’s mother?
