Pick Your Favourites 💖

PSA: please be gentle if you’re critiquing the names on my list, as I do truly like these ones and won’t be naming a human baby for at least two years, so this is purely a for fun list for me! A lot are just GP names that I really wouldn’t use, but love the sounds of

Which names from my long (and I do mean long, sorry!) list are your favourites?
Which ones practically scream [name_u]Haley[/name_u] / leafsgirl44 to you??

It would be really fun to make sibsets out of these–so much potential for fun/well-matched combos! Thank you for sharing!

[tallemaja]

[name_u]Ember[/name_u], [name_f]Kylie[/name_f], [name_u]Lexi[/name_u], [name_f]Nicole[/name_f] and [name_f]Zoey[/name_f]! I feel like they capture that 2000s vibe you’re going for perfectly, while still being usable on a baby born today. They also all go well together as a sibset imo. They’re familiar and their sound has a bit of spunk.

I really love how cohesive your list is!! It’s definitely not my style, which is a comment I’m sure you’re probably sick of hearing, but I think it’s one of the most cohesive, evocative, and loyal (? like true to yourself) lists on nameberry. The names also give me major Bratz doll vibes, and as a kid of the 2000s that is a big compliment lol. They’re all dripping in confidence and glitter, sort of like a girl who seems really intimidating at first but turns out to be one of the sweetest people you’ve ever met. Anyways, this is just a super long-winded way of saying that I genuinely really love your list.

[rhodes2nowhere]

My favorites from your lists are:

Emerald - one of my all time favorites
[name_u]Ember[/name_u] - SO cute. Probably my fave [name_f]Em[/name_f] name.
[name_f]Bianca[/name_f] - Still mad I have yet to meet one irl!
[name_f]Cierra[/name_f] (though I do really love the [name_u]Sierra[/name_u] spelling! It’s my mn )
[name_u]Dior[/name_u] -don’t like brand names but it has such a pretty sound
[name_u]Genesis[/name_u] - so spunky and cool! Same vibe as [name_f]Juno[/name_f] for me.

I was a 2000’s baby so I also want to suggest [name_u]Kyrie[/name_u]! ([name_m]Ky[/name_m]-ree) I knew a few in grade school and think it would fit in perfect with the [name_f]Kiara[/name_f]’s and [name_f]Kylie[/name_f]’s!

Id say the only names that don’t seem to fit the 2000’s vibe would be [name_f]Venus[/name_f], [name_f]Stormi[/name_f] & [name_u]Halo[/name_u].

[leafsgirl44]

@ethelmary - Thank you
@magnoliae - yay, a [name_f]Deja[/name_f] fan! Thank you
@VivienaLunelle123 - thank you!! I’m glad so many of them seem to fit for me
@dandy_orchid - ooh yes! I agree, there’s a lot of potential for fun sibsets here!
@tallemaja - Thank you! I agree, those do have a good happy medium quality to them, and sound great for sisters!
@rorawhale - Thank you, I do hear that a lot, but I don’t mind it too much! I’m so glad it seems to be one of the most loyal and cohesive, because it’s taken me so long to find names that do feel true to myself! I love the Bratz doll comparison - they were cool when I was growing up too (I’m also a kid of the 2000s I was 5-14 during the 2000s lol).
@rhodes2nowhere - [name_u]Dior[/name_u] does have a pretty sound, doesn’t it? And, oh, [name_u]Kyrie[/name_u] is lovely!! [name_f]Venus[/name_f], for me fits because of [name_f]Venus[/name_f] [name_m]Williams[/name_m], and [name_u]Halo[/name_u] reminds me of the [name_f]Beyonce[/name_f] song [name_f]Stormi[/name_f] doesn’t feel explicitly 2000s, I agree, but it does still give me a diva vibe
