My problem is that I’ve been a name nerd since the kindergarten playground where I met a girl named Sequoia. Ever since then I’ve been scribbling down names. Almost every name I hear now just sounds so boring to me. (thank you ADHD) I’ve had so many favorites over the years and then I get bored of them. (Even my own kids names) But don’t tell them. Anyway, I always am excited to hear a word name that I’ve never heard before and always looking for them to add to my list. Here’s my current list- not all of them are actually usable but I would definitely use some of them! Do you have any words that you think would be cute as names? Would you use any of these?

Yess I had puzzle down at one point and then I took it off but I still think it’s cool. I also love [name_u]Galaxy[/name_u], Gleam and [name_u]Glow[/name_u]. How cool would that sibset be lol
Btw, when I was first starting to name my daughter 10 years ago, I sent berries into a tizzy over considering [name_u]Finch[/name_u] [name_u]Firefly[/name_u]. Which now, looking back, I’m glad I didn’t name her that. However she is still pissed that her middle name is not [name_u]Firefly[/name_u]. So I may just have to use it for a future baby just for her.
I really love that you have Arcade on your list because that’s actually also on my list! Me and my SO are big video game nerds and it kind of reminds me of the name [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f] so I thought why not? Other “that’s not a name” word names on my list are (some are more out there than others):
[name_u]Cricket[/name_u]
[name_u]Minnow[/name_u]
[name_u]Cache[/name_u]
[name_u]Rocket[/name_u]
Rivet
Writer
Sound
[name_u]Science[/name_u]
[name_m]Captain[/name_m]
[name_m]Knight[/name_m]
[name_m]Tide[/name_m]
[name_m]Riot[/name_m]
[name_m]Rush[/name_m]
[name_u]Odyssey[/name_u]
[name_u]Quest[/name_u]
[name_u]Pilot[/name_u]
[name_f]Moon[/name_f]
[name_u]Dash[/name_u]
[name_u]Echo[/name_u]
[name_u]Revel[/name_u]
[name_m]Ridge[/name_m]
Yess! Your list is so cool. A lot of these names have been on and off my lists over the years. [name_u]Revel[/name_u] was a big one for me but I ended up naming a pet that. And I’m so happy to see [name_u]Pilot[/name_u] on there. That’s my eldest sons name. He’s 14 now and wears it well. Also Sound because [name_m]Audio[/name_m] is my second sons middle.
I’m enthused to see [name_u]Coast[/name_u] and Sojourn on your list, as I considered using them in your “give my baby a twin” topic. Offhand, your names make me think of
City
Twig
[name_m]Bank[/name_m]
Signal
[name_u]Vision[/name_u]
Cabin
Winnow
[name_m]Bush[/name_m]
[name_u]Puck[/name_u]
[name_u]Stellar[/name_u]
[name_u]Branch[/name_u]
Myth
Cosmos
Eclipse
[name_f]Glimmer[/name_f]
[name_u]Riven[/name_u]
I would use [name_u]Coast[/name_u] and Sojourn in a heart beat
Here are some of mine…
[name_u]Day[/name_u]
Cabin
Trek
Steeple
Japonica, Liatris, Oxalis, Lisianthus, Kniphofia, Pyracantha, Agathis, [name_f]Stellaria[/name_f], [name_f]Celandine[/name_f].
Tempête
I have two that I actually would like to use:
[name_u]Ocean[/name_u]
[name_u]Swan[/name_u]
I don’t know if I’ll even really get to, but I like [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] for a son and [name_u]Swan[/name_u] for a daughter.
[name_f]Edelweiss[/name_f] is my ultimate guilty pleasure name. I think it would be soooo cute for a little girl with the Sound of [name_f]Music[/name_f] song and then the nickname [name_f]Edie[/name_f], but I’m just not brave enough to use it
Other names I like:
[name_f]Shenandoah[/name_f]
[name_f]Mercy[/name_f]
[name_u]Briar[/name_u] (for a boy)
Hatch
[name_u]Merry[/name_u] (boy)
[name_u]Cricket[/name_u]
[name_u]Echo[/name_u]
[name_u]September[/name_u]
[name_u]Fen[/name_u]
[name_f]Secret[/name_f]
[name_f]Answer[/name_f]
[name_f]Whimsy[/name_f]
