Aww thanks ladies. Yep they are my boys

[EllArePea]

Awww thank you! I love your names too

[Elle1]

Thank you

[enwmn]

Aw thank you! I’d love to see new combos too but I’m stuck in a rut haha

[katinka]

@OpheliaFlora

whose name choices for their first (next) child you are 100% sure of

@greyblue with Sarai Matilda and Tristan Rafferty. The girl name especially I so strongly associate with you (and I love it ) Also @eileithyia with Evaluna, @may.rose with Emma, Rose, Wesley and Linus, and @TDFM with Jude!

@OpheliaFlora

whose UC you find inspired

I love @enwmn, @blueylit and @acajou all have a wonderful quirky style and their UCs are always full of intriguing new options! I also love all the thought and meaning that always goes into @seawillow’s combos.

@OpheliaFlora

who has a different naming style that you absolutely love for them

@leafsgirl44’s style is so sassy and distinctive, I always know a Haley thread just from the title! @SparkleNinja18’s style is so fun and her combos always full of energy and spark.

I also absolutely love the names @auroradawn, @yuma and @EmersonWildWood have chosen for their boys, all different from my own IRL naming style and from each other, but all fantastic and perfect for their families.

@OpheliaFlora

whose opinions you always value

So many! @EdgeOfTheMeadow, @araminty, @minxtruck, @almostactually, @ashthedreamer, @hyacinthbucket, @katkabet, @tori101, @shells15 spring to mind immediately as posters who always give thoughtful, honest, detailed responses.

@OpheliaFlora

whose posts on the forums you tend to look out for

I’m excited to see @esita back on the search for names! I always look out for my naming style twin @dechen’s posts, of course, and I love @enwmn’s inspiration posts for finding new gems to love!

@OpheliaFlora

whose names you’d like to see more of

@myosotis @katkabet @_thelittlefairywren @baya44 @lumosmaxima @acajou @rosepip @flowellagrace @luminen — you all have such fun, distinctive styles!

@OpheliaFlora

who tends to use a different amount of middle names but whose combos you find to be beautiful

I love @sarahmezz1’s two-middle combos and her children’s names are fantastic. I’m excited to hear a #4 might be on the cards!

@OpheliaFlora

with the most NB style

Ooh, tough one! There are several different NB styles, but I think @elleplume has a particularly gorgeous gently vintage, sweet and sunny cottagecore vibe which feels very Berry in the best way.

@OpheliaFlora

with names that you’d never be brave enough to use (though you like them)

@hyacinthbucket @Rosebeth @brittanyanitarose and @rosepip.

@OpheliaFlora

who made you appreciate a name

@Greyblue and Sarai (again), @araminty and… Araminty , @katkabet and Ellerbe, @namergirl3 and Elim, @seawillow and Rhema (so sweet!) and @LibelluleClaire’s recent birth announcement has me crushing on the fabulous Holiday all over again!

@OpheliaFlora

with a combo you want to steal

@ashthedreamer had Asa Seaborne as an option recently and I’m in love! Also @futuremama’s Theodore Wilde and Oscar Keats (they’d make the best brothers) and @OpheliaFlora your Arthur Vyvyan Louis is beautiful — I love Vyvyan for a boy.

@OpheliaFlora

with children whose names you think are lovely

@grackym’s two boys have gorgeous names and they go together so well while still being a little bit unexpected. I also think @meyera4 has fantastically named children. And @jenni_lynn91’s three girls are such a beautiful trio!

@OpheliaFlora

who you can‘t wait to find out what names they will use for their first child

@minxtruck @dechen @leafsgirl44 @Luminen and @_thelittlefairywren — thank you for the kind words, Kay, and I really hope all is well with you

[minxtruck]

Thank you [name_f]Emma[/name_f]! That must have taken you absolutely ages - so many (great) tags!

[katinka]

Yep, I’ve been coming back to it over the last couple of days Could have tagged many more as well!

[Luminen]

Thank you for the tags, [name_f]Emma[/name_f]! I can’t wait to find out what names I’ll use for our first child either [name_m]Just[/name_m] feeling clueless at the moment!

[Dechen]

Thanks for the tags, naming style twin! My first born has a high chance of sharing a name with your first born … Or third born! We shall see.

[tori101]

Thank you!

[lumosmaxima]

it’s almost like your goal is to make me cRy
thank you all for tagging me
so grateful for this community :,)

[esita]

Thanks @Katinka! 2 more weeks till he’s here and we think we’re down to two names.

It’s been a hectic few years but I’m glad to be back!

[firefly305]

@ethelmary I love how so clearly inspired your names are! 𝐈𝐝𝐚 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐮𝐫 is absolute perfection Also, I love how long you’ve held to Josepha, which is an old world name with charms abounding, yet you’re one of the very few who notice its wiles In general, I think you’ve got a distinctively dry wit. You should definitely write a Nameberry article one of these days!!

[ethelmary]

Aww thank you so much

[_thelittlefairywren]

@katinka

thank you for the kind words, Kay, and I really hope all is well with you

You’re welcome All is well here. Life is busy, but not at all bad. I hope you’re well also.

[tp_b]

Thanks for the kind words Stuart! And Nora (@almostactually)!

And yep, I haven’t been active — I’ve been on a NB hiatus in 2021, unless tagged or PM’d. But I really appreciate the kind words!

Taking a NB pause thread

Personally, it’s one of my [name_u]New[/name_u] Year’s goals to pause NB in 2021. That is, to pause NB in three days time. I’ve enjoyed being part of this very friendly community, but want to use my time on other things in the new year, including more help for my wife, and more time for my kids. (I sound like a politician retiring, but it’s true). I may still respond to the occasional direct message or quote which appears in my email inbox, but that’ll be my limit. I’d say it’s been real, but i…

[meyera4]

Thank you @katinka !! That’s such a huge compliment!!

[ashthedreamer]

Thank you, [name_f]Emma[/name_f]!

[jenni_lynn91]

Thank you for including me!

[auroradawn]

Aw thank you so much, [name_f]Emma[/name_f]! It’s been lovely to be a part of the community this long and get to name my children in the Nameberry context, whether I’ve been very active or not. I feel similarly about your children’s names–not my personal real-life naming style, but gorgeous together and perfect for you.
