Taylor Swift Names 🍓

General Name Discussion
1

Taylor Swift essentially got me through the pandemic. Over time, years actually, I have grown to love her and her songs. I know she is not everyone’s choice, and I am not here to force her songs upon any body.

I can count the people I want to honour with baby names on my fingers. They’re really less and most of them have names that I wouldn’t readily use. Possibly a variation, but half the time I can’t find any I like. Taylor is a similar one. I am not fond of Taylor as a name.

I thought of using a unisex name but I am absolutely rubbish at unisex names. They all lean one gender more than the other. River, Hollis, Jupiter, August and Ash are more masculine and Adair, Fifer, Lux, Hero and Jules are feminine to me. I thought of Bowie since it truly is unisex (for me) and has a musical association but it doesn’t relate to TS. Names like Cameron or Sawyer are not my taste. Alison is her middle names so any Al- names are welcome.

Names from songs

Dorothea: From the song with the same name, it is Greek and would go with my top baby names at the moment. However I also plan on calling Athena ‘Thea’ and the -thea ending makes it confusing.

Not keen on Ivy, Willow, Inez or Betty. I love James though. Juliet (from Love Story) and Grace (from State of Grace) are fine. Love Daisy (from Don’t Blame Me). Like August (b) as well.

Any names that relate to her, her songs and everything in between, drop 'em here. Thank you.

It would be great if you could also mention where you got the names from. For eg: [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] (Don’t Blame Me)

[name_u]Drew[/name_u] (Teardrops on [name_f]My[/name_f] [name_u]Guitar[/name_u])
[name_u]John[/name_u] (Dear [name_u]John[/name_u]; though admittedly not exactly a great song to be named after)
[name_u]Taye[/name_u], [name_u]Baylor[/name_u], [name_f]Lori[/name_f], or [name_u]Taylin[/name_u] (from Taylor)
[name_u]Laken[/name_u] or [name_u]Lake[/name_u] (from The Lakes)
[name_u]Peace[/name_u] ([name_u]Peace[/name_u])

[name_f]Mary[/name_f] (Mary’s Song)
[name_m]Ronan[/name_m] ([name_m]Ronan[/name_m]; definitely a heartbreaking and personal story though)
[name_u]Winter[/name_u] ([name_u]Forever[/name_u] [name_u]Winter[/name_u]; again maybe not a song you’d want to be named after)
[name_u]Garnet[/name_u], [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f], [name_u]Reed[/name_u], [name_u]Rory[/name_u], [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], [name_f]Sienna[/name_f], or [name_m]Russell[/name_m] ([name_u]Red[/name_u]; names related to the color red)

[name_u]Timothy[/name_u] (Tim McGraw) is the first that came to mind. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: Perhaps also [name_f]Lory[/name_f], from rearranged letters in [name_u]Taylor[/name_u].
