Picky Parents BNG

I wasn’t sure if you meant football as in what only [name_u]America[/name_u] calls soccer, or if you’re referring to American football - so I got you both options.

David [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] & [name_m]Diego[/name_m] [name_m]Silas[/name_m] (after [name_m]David[/name_m] [name_m]Beckham[/name_m] and [name_m]Diego[/name_m] Maradonna)
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_m]Simon[/name_m] & [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] [name_u]Seth[/name_u] (after [name_m]Tom[/name_m] [name_u]Brady[/name_u] & [name_m]Dan[/name_m] [name_m]Marino[/name_m])

Shane and [name_f]Ada[/name_f] are having their first child, gender unknown. Their first name should contain the ‘ay’ sound, just as in [name_u]Shane[/name_u] and [name_f]Ada[/name_f], but the name itself must be much more modern and spunky than the parents’ names. The first middle name is a long, uncommon [name_m]Saint[/name_m]’s name. The second middle is an ‘invented’ name, made up of the letters/sounds in the names [name_u]Chris[/name_u] and [name_f]Leonie[/name_f].

Greyson [name_m]Euphemios[/name_m] Criseo or [name_f]Maple[/name_f] [name_f]Apollonia[/name_f] Leonise

Matthew and [name_m]Ben[/name_m] are adopting boy/girl twins! They want two beautiful and unusual first names which belong to Eastern Orthodox saints but ones that work in [name_f]English[/name_f], with more usable nicknames. Their middle names should belong to characters in ‘[name_m]Parks[/name_m] and Recreation’.

Anastasia Lucy “Ana” and Dorotheus Ben “Theo”

Florence and Niko are expecting boy/girl/girl triplets. They both work for the UN, meaning they have to travel a lot, so they want the first names to be easily pronounceable wherever they go and preferably have more than one root, but be at least 2 syllables have and a positive meaning. The first middle names should be rare botanical names, and the second middle names should be inspired by Nobel Prize winners

[name_f]Kiara[/name_f] [name_f]Lowri[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_u]Idris[/name_u] [name_u]Garland[/name_u] [name_m]Harold[/name_m]


Rebecca and [name_m]Adam[/name_m] are expecting their first child! They want to be surprised by the gender, so they need both a boy and girl name. For the first name, they’d like something vintage and distinctive; it should definitely be below the US Top 500. For middle names, they would like something Spanish in origin because they met in a college Spanish class.

This prompt really excited me because I love Spanish names, so I came up with several options. [name_f]Hope[/name_f] these work!


Harriet and [name_u]Lisa[/name_u] are about to welcome all-girl triplets! They want unusual botanical picks for first names, preferably outside the top 1000 in the USA, although if they really like a name, they will settle for one inside the top 500. They would also prefer first names which don’t have common nicknames or which can be easily shortened. They also do not want the name [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] as although they love the plant, [name_f]Harriet[/name_f]’s British mother uses the terms “lav” and “lavvy” to refer to the toilet, so [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] and [name_u]Lisa[/name_u] have decided against the name in case of this unfortunate nickname. Middle names should reflect their birth order but without using numbers or names which have numerical meanings.

Haha [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] was my first instinct when reading so definitely upped the challenge!

Posey [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], [name_f]Fern[/name_f] [name_f]Bianca[/name_f] & [name_u]Briar[/name_u] [name_f]Callista[/name_f]. (middle initials A, B, C!)


Ramona and [name_u]Owen[/name_u] are expecting their second child, a little sibling to [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] [name_u]Callahan[/name_u]. They need options for both a boy and a girl name! The first name should contain the letter ‘o’ but not start or end with it. They would prefer a first name that is familiar but not too popular, and one that also doesn’t have any immediate nicknames. For a boy, the middle name should be a longer and unexpected surname. For a girl, it should be inspired by children’s literature.

Lily and [name_u]Evan[/name_u] are expecting twin girls! They want their first names to start with four letters (to match their own!) but would prefer for them to not match each other too much. For their middle names, they’d like names from [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Austen[/name_u] novels.

[name_m]Ulrich[/name_m] & [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] are expecting triplet girls, sisters for brother [name_m]Oren[/name_m] [name_m]Cassius[/name_m]. They want their first names to be British, and their middle names will be Ancient Greek names.

Rockford [name_u]Tate[/name_u] and [name_f]Novalie[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] are expecting a son. They have two daughters already [name_u]Hollis[/name_u] [name_u]November[/name_u] and [name_u]Tatum[/name_u] [name_f]Jubilee[/name_f]. They want their son’s name to contain a piece of their own as well. [name_m]Just[/name_m] love [name_u]Hollis[/name_u] and [name_u]Tatum[/name_u]’s do. It can be in the first or middle name but not a direct copy of the name. They would also like the middle name to be a word name, preferably an animal or occupational name.

Rocco sounds like ‘rock’, like Rockford; [name_m]Ashford[/name_m] and Rockford both end in -ford, and [name_m]Pearce[/name_m] starts with [name_f]Pear[/name_f]-, like [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]. [name_f]Hope[/name_f] these work for you!


Patrick and [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] are about to welcome twins! They don’t know genders yet so please give at least two options per sex. First names for boys need to be within the US top 200 but names which have passed their peak by several decades. Bonus points if they have lots of nickname potential! First names for girls should also be unpopular with a deep history to them, but unlike boys’ names, they should not be easily nicknamed. Middle names for both genders should be older, uncommon names, and they must all contain the letter V.

Wolf [name_m]Adonis[/name_m] and [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Ortensia[/name_f]

Chase and [name_u]Morgan[/name_u] are having their third child, a girl. Her sisters’ names are [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] ‘[name_f]Maggie[/name_f]’ and [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_u]Marie[/name_u]. They want her name to be recognizable and fairly modern, but not too common. Her middle name should be one that is fairly common.

Jared and [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] are welcoming a baby brother or sister to [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] and [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] [name_m]Maximilian[/name_m]! As practicising [name_m]Roman[/name_m] Catholics, they’d like a first name which appears in the Catholic Bible, but it cannot begin with C or J. It should also have a musical quality to it, and they like names with O sounds but this is not a hard rule. They dislike unisex names, so avoid those. Middle names should be long and beautiful, but cannot begin with M as [name_m]Jared[/name_m] and [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] worry that using another M name will begin a trend they must follow with all their future children. Since they do not know the gender, please give at least one option per sex.

Having decided to opt for IVF, [name_f]Olwen[/name_f]’s expecting her first child - a little girl! She’d like a soft, whimsical first name which is Welsh - but wants to avoid one ending in ‘en’. For her middle name, she wants something relating to astronomy, as her nickname for her baby is ‘little star’.

Reese [name_u]Jupiter[/name_u]

Kate & [name_m]Jack[/name_m] are expecting their first daughter. They want her to have a four letter first name which is below the top 100 and an eight letter middle name in the top 50.

Willa [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]

Lulu and [name_m]Jake[/name_m] are expecting their second son, a brother to [name_m]Malachi[/name_m] [name_u]Jude[/name_u], nicknamed [name_u]Kai[/name_u]. They would like the first name to be longer but have a fun, one syllable nickname. Neither the full name or nickname should start with L, J, M or K. The middle name should start with the letter L and be outside the US top 100 names.

Lily and [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] are expecting all girl quintuplets! Their names should be long but not frilly with a 1 syllable nickname. Their first middle names should be honor names for grandmothers [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] and [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f]. And they want their second middle names to be after the stars or a moon.

Asher [name_u]Huxley[/name_u] [name_u]Barrett[/name_u] and [name_u]Tyler[/name_u] [name_u]Maxwell[/name_u] [name_m]Freedman[/name_m] are expecting triplets. They are having two boys and a girl. They would like to use the birth parents as inspiration for the first names by having their first names be historical POC who have made an impact on their communities. They would like the middle names to be short one syllable names with the same first letter. Their last names are hyphened [name_u]Barrett[/name_u]-[name_m]Freedman[/name_m] so make sure the names flow well with both names.

Marsha for [name_f]Marsha[/name_f] P. [name_m]Johnson[/name_m], one of the leading figures in the [name_m]Stonewall[/name_m] riots; Chiune for Chiune Sugihara, a Japanese diplomat during the Second World War who helped thousands of Jewish people flee Europe; [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] for [name_m]Malcolm[/name_m] X, a leader in the US civil rights movement during the 1960s.


Scott and [name_f]Aimee[/name_f] are expecting a little girl to join their family!

Her middle needs to be a pretty name which has a British feel and begins with D.

Anya & [name_m]Dev[/name_m] are expecting G/G twins. They want the names to be not too matchy but still feel like a set. They would like both girls to have two middle names, and within each combo they would like [name_m]Dev[/name_m]’s [name_f]Haitian[/name_f] héritage and [name_f]Anya[/name_f]’s Polish héritage to be honoured. They like names that are unusual but familiar sounding.
