Picky Parents

[name_u]Esme[/name_u] [name_f]Macarena[/name_f] & [name_u]Ellis[/name_u] [name_m]Ptolemy[/name_m]

[name_u]Esme[/name_u] and [name_u]Ellis[/name_u] were both ranked #307 in the USA in 2022.


[name_m]Clark[/name_m] and [name_f]Melissa[/name_f] are expecting a fourth baby (gender unknown). They are already proud parents to [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] [name_f]Sophie[/name_f], [name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_f]Lucinda[/name_f] and [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] [name_m]Magnus[/name_m]. They want another name that fits the classic, slightly aristocratic, feel of their older children’s names, but it also should match them in popularity too (so nothing outside the US top 100 please!). They also want to avoid repeated initials so the first name cannot begin with C, E, M, S or V. The middle name should have a Greek or Latin root, and a positive meaning or strength that they want their child to possess.

Please give at least two options.

[name_m]Porter[/name_m] & [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] are another couple of two dads and they want to give their daughter a hippie-like first name and a middle name that looks like two names (Annabelle, [name_f]Rosemarie[/name_f], etc.)

[name_f]Loveday[/name_f] [name_f]Maryanna[/name_f]

[name_f]Chelsea[/name_f] & [name_f]Brett[/name_f] are expecting b/g twins. First names should be connected somehow but not in a super obvious way. Middle names are after their favorite vacation spots: [name_f]Italy[/name_f] & [name_f]Alaska[/name_f].

[name_f]Valencia[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] & [name_m]Archie[/name_m] [name_f]Juneau[/name_f] (Both first names mean brave and middle names are cities from their favorite places)


[name_m]Garrett[/name_m] & [name_f]Kate[/name_f] are expecting a baby girl. They want a classic first name with 3 syllables and a middle name that honors Kates late sister [name_f]Irene[/name_f].

[name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_f]Irini[/name_f]

[name_m]Brian[/name_m] and [name_f]Whitney[/name_f] have decided not to find out the gender of their baby. They would like an option for a boy and a girl. The first names should be popular (in the Top 50 names in the US) but have unexpected nicknames. [name_m]Brian[/name_m] would like the middle name to honor his late father- [name_m]Lawrence[/name_m] [name_m]Donald[/name_m].

[name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] [name_m]Domhnall[/name_m] “Jem” or [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] [name_f]Lowri[/name_f] “Via”

[name_m]Domhnall[/name_m] is the [name_m]Irish[/name_m] form of [name_m]Donald[/name_m] and is pronounced very similarly. [name_m]Lawrence[/name_m] and [name_f]Lowri[/name_f] both come from the word laurus meaning “laurel” and [name_f]Lowri[/name_f] also contains a W so it is visually similar to [name_m]Lawrence[/name_m].

In 2022, [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] ranked at 9 in the US and [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] was ranked at 43.


[name_m]Peter[/name_m] and [name_f]Heidi[/name_f] are expecting a daughter! They want her first name to be a form of the name [name_f]Mary[/name_f] which appears in the latest version of the [name_f]England[/name_f] & [name_m]Wales[/name_m] top 500, and her middle name to be an unusual Welsh name that doesn’t get much usage outside of [name_m]Wales[/name_m].

[name_f]Maisie[/name_f] [name_f]Myfanwy[/name_f]


[name_m]Edwin[/name_m] and [name_m]Hiram[/name_m] are adopting a baby boy! They want his first name to be from either a star or a constellation, and his middle name to be outside of the US top 1000, and starting with the same letter as his first name.

[name_m]Castor[/name_m] [name_m]Corran[/name_m]


[name_m]Gavriel[/name_m] and [name_f]Eliora[/name_f] are expecting a baby boy. They’d like the first name to be a soft Hebrew name with likable appeal and the middle name to end in -er but not be occupational.

[name_m]Reuven[/name_m] [name_m]Eliezer[/name_m]

[name_f]Anna[/name_f] and [name_m]Will[/name_m] are expecting a little girl. She needs a rustic, country style first name and a European city place name in the middle.

[name_f]Tiana[/name_f] and [name_m]Jeff[/name_m] are having twins! It’ll be a boy and a girl, and they both have strong opinions names. [name_f]Tiana[/name_f] loves names that feel whimsical and would be right at home in a fantasy or romance novel. [name_m]Jeff[/name_m], a history professor, prefers historical names with at least one positive namesake. They don’t want either twin’s names to start with the same letter or with their own first initials (a T or a J).

[name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] & [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] are having… triplets! :exploding_head: Two girls, one boy (GGB), according to the doctor, but they want an extra boy and girl name prepared, just in case, surprise, it’s GGG or GBB. They want the first names to be “unusual” nature names (even more uncommon than their own), but without sounding too matchy matchy. The middle names should be more well known but on the elegant side, with a connection to academia.

[name_f]Siobhan[/name_f] and [name_m]Tom[/name_m] are expecting another child. They already have a son named [name_m]Logan[/name_m] [name_m]Donald[/name_m]. They are looking for a slightly uncommon Scottish origin first name and a middle name inspired by a family name (Kendall, [name_m]Roman[/name_m], [name_m]Connor[/name_m], [name_m]Gregory[/name_m], [name_f]Gerri[/name_f], [name_f]Willa[/name_f], [name_m]Frank[/name_m], [name_f]Marcia[/name_f], [name_m]Ewan[/name_m], and Karl). They do not know the sex of their baby yet, so they are looking for two options for girls and two options for boys.
