Still thinking about Sunday! 💛

-too unique or celebrity? - I love unique names, so I wouldn’t let that stop you. One of my daughters is [name_u]Raven[/name_u]. Someone will occasionally mention That’s so [name_u]Raven[/name_u] or Raven-Symoné, but it’s not common enough to be a nuisance.

-unprofessional? - I once briefly encountered a [name_f]Sunday[/name_f] working in a corporate office building. Granted the company was very “hip” and whatnot, but she didn’t seem to stand out in any kind of negative way. There was another girl in that area of the building named [name_u]Auburn[/name_u]. I think this is less and less of a concern these days with kids getting all kinds of interesting names.

-too different from other favorite names to fit with siblings? - I love [name_f]Sunday[/name_f] and [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] together! [name_u]Super[/name_u] cute!

-the possibility she will not like her name and wish it was something else/ more classic? - I have 3 kids and they all went through phases of not liking their names early on (around 4ish). They’re 13, 10 and 7 now and love their names and none of them are classic.

-difficulty at school when learning the days of the the week or possibly being made fun of. - Here again, I think unusual names are so common now that kids won’t even think about it. And my niece, [name_f]Sophia[/name_f], was teased with So-pee-a. Kids will find anything to tease about even with a common name. [name_f]My[/name_f] own son told me my name sounds like “catheter”. If she is teased it would be brief I think. As for learning the days of the week, it might be briefly confusing, but more likely she’ll think it’s cool at that age.

-negative opinions from family and friends (because names are typically more traditional in our family, and I want my loved ones to like the name as much as I do!) - you can’t make people love a name. [name_f]My[/name_f] parents hated my son’s first name before he was born. [name_f]My[/name_f] dad swore he’d call him “Ben”. I’ve never once heard him call him “Ben”. [name_f]My[/name_f] in-laws hated my daughters’ names. They love the kids attached to them now though, so it no longer matters. Use what you love. Family will adjust.

[name_f]Sunday[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] is absolutely gorgeous! And I love the simplicity of [name_f]Sunday[/name_f] [name_u]Marie[/name_u]. She feels much more down to earth, cottagey, and cotton dresses.

@benton_s_mama Thank you so much!! This is incredibly helpful! You’re making me think I should just be brave and name a daughter that one day! I love [name_f]Sunday[/name_f] and [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] together too! And I love the subtle connections between [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], [name_f]Sunday[/name_f], and [name_f]Bridget[/name_f]!
I really love your children’s names so much too!!
Thank you again so much for this!
