Agh it is! Y’all we should clarify that these names are just for fun for a character, no hate to any of these names but we needed something a bit more out there! :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

I don’t mind it, but I think I would prefer [name_f]Elaine[/name_f] and [name_f]Olivet[/name_f] as sisters rather than Lainet which feels like a combination of the two names. :white_heart:

I’m sorry I had to vote for Birdbath :joy:[name_f][/name_f] I have no idea what it’s for, so I’m going with the one most out there imo.

@Oreobunn[name_f][/name_f] In my mind, it’s popular in the sense that there are a lot of Makaylas, but unpopular in the sense that it doesn’t feel expected on a baby. If that makes sense? I’d say it is more “common” than “popular,” as I associate names that are common with names that have been used a lot in recent historical times (IE [name_f]Jessica[/name_f] would be common, so would [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f], so would Ava), whereas popular names are ones that I would expect to see in an birth announcement (say [name_m]River[/name_m], [name_m]Henry[/name_m], Maeve). This could just be a me thing, though!

[name_f][/name_f]

@Fabfitfun77[name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Olive[/name_f] is at the tippy top of my lists, but I also love [name_f]Olivet[/name_f] for a babe of mine! I love[name_f][/name_f] [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] for others, though. :white_heart:

It depends on how you’re pronouncing Annika. In this case I assume you are saying ANN-ih-kah? That would be too close for me sound-wise. But AWN-ih-kah would be fine I think.

ETA that the UH-nee-kah pronunciation would work too imo.
