If the general consensus was ā€œextremeā€ dislike for a good reason, not just that it isn’t to someone’s taste, then yes it would probably stop me from using it!

[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] is kind of two and a half syllables for me! Somewhere between MAR-GUH-RET and MAR-GRET :slight_smile:

I say [name_u]Mirren[/name_u] as ā€œmih-runā€. It has the same cadence as [name_m]Warren[/name_m], just with a different starting sound.

Also I voted that I assume boy for [name_u]Charlie[/name_u], but I do consider it unisex and wouldn’t be surprised at meeting a female [name_u]Charlie[/name_u]. It’s just that in my experience it has been overwhelmingly male!

If they had a legit reason to not like it then yes but if they just happened to not like it with no reason other then just not liking it then it wouldn’t put me off

I love [name_u]Artemis[/name_u] but me personally wouldn’t use the original spelling of the goddess on a boy as I think it’s inappropriate (this is just me personally, others can definitely feel differently and this goes for gods names on girls as well for me), I would go for [name_m]Artemus[/name_m] or [name_m]Artemas[/name_m], same sound but is the masc version of the name

Which middle name do you like the best with the first name Malakai

  • Malakai Santiago
  • Malakai Knox
  • Malakai Ezra
  • Malakai Luca

0 voters

I kind of like the sound but it’s a super common phrase in Spanish so it’s nay for me, it’s basically the equivalent of the word ā€˜you’re’

Oh ok! I didn’t know that, I thought of it because of [name_m]Estes[/name_m] [name_u]Park[/name_u], thanks for informing me!

when someone really loves a name sometimes their love of it will rub off on me. and if I ask for opinions about a name and people really hype me up, it will probably maybe encourage me to love it more.
but also if i ask for opinions and people really don’t like it sometimes my thought will be ā€œnow I’m just going to love it even harder>:(ā€ and their opinions help me to solidify my own thoughts on the name.

I do care what people think, but I also realize that not everyone is looking for the same things in a name as I am. I have very specific criteria and my names fit that criteria, which is good enough for me!

I don’t want to give examples, but there are names on here that are wildly popular that aren’t my style, so I try to remember that when one of my favorite names is disliked :rofl:
