I feel like [name_u]Nima[/name_u] makes the most sense; maybe [name_u]Nemi[/name_u], [name_f]Nema[/name_f], Nim/Nem, or [name_f]Neima[/name_f] might also work for you.
So I asked my great aunt if she knew any weirder names in her fam and she showed me her entire ancestry up to the 1500s itâs was a name nerds dream, hereâs some of the more uncommon/unusual ones that I can remember, choose which ever ones you like!

There was actually a ton of Saturninoâs, Inocencio is my great great grandfather, who raised my great grandma Delia
Pronunciations for girls
Paxadéma - pahx-ah-deh-mah
Octavia - ohk-tah-vya
Sabas - sah-bas
Maria Mateo - mah-hree-ah, mah-teh-oh
La O - lah-oh
Rosalia - roh-sah-lee-ah
- Paxadéma
- Octavia nn Sabas
- Sabas (w/o being a nn)
- Maria Mateo
- La O
- Rosalia

Octavia nn Sabas was my grandma Deliaâs mom (I have no idea how you get Sabas from Octavia but itâs a legit nickname for it not just a fam nn)
ALSO I just found out, my great grandpa Jaimeâs (my great aunts dad) identical twin bro was Santiago. THEYâRE NAMES WERE LITERALLY JAMES AND JAMIE
Iâm so happy about those boy names though theyâre exactly my style, except maybe not Inocencio but I can appreciate it
I have a similar issue, I named my dog [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] and my grandmotherâs name is [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]. I think only name nerds in my area would notice if I used [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], however I would receive comments if I used [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] for my dog and then tried to name my daughter [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], since [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] nn [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] is really common where I live. I think it depends where you live and how adamant you are with nicknames vs non-nicknames.
On the positive side, your pup has an amazing name!

Middle names question. Which is best? Middles are honors. Iâm not sure I like Rose/Rosemary right next to Iris since it seems very floral together.

While I recognize the reference to [name_u]Austen[/name_u] you made, I wouldnât say any of those names are too [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Austen[/name_u] because theyâre all widely used classics!! I love [name_u]Austen[/name_u], Iâve read almost all of her novels, and even then I would not connect her with [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], for example.
While I voted that [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] is too much [name_u]Austen[/name_u], it was because [name_f]Jane[/name_f] & [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_m]Bennet[/name_m] are sisters in Pride and Prejudice, not because of the connection between [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Austen[/name_u] & [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_m]Bennet[/name_m] as author & character.
aaaaaaa nix I love them
leocadio ?? casimiro ?? saturnino ??
these are amazing !!

does rose aliénor eloise flow right?
aliénor is pronounced ah-lee-ay-NORR
- yes, itâs fine!
- no, it doesnât sound right
- aliĂ©nor doesnât sound right
- eloise doesnât sound right
0 voters
the flow isnât perfect (rose & eloise run into each other a bit), but they still work for me because of aliĂ©nor in the middle
You shouldâve seen my grandpas face when I got excited over [name_m]Dionisio[/name_m] it was just pure âoh my god my poor grandsonâ I love seeing peopleâs faces when I say I like names like that itâs free serotonin. At least I know they like [name_m]Osiris[/name_m]
@Strawberry.Bunny I feel like [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] has a better flow, but I prefer [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] so I voted for [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f].
@eagleeyes I feel like [name_u]Sal[/name_u] could work for [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] but it will be something that youâd have to enforce from day one.
@joevermore Aliénor and [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] have too much of a sound overlap to be in the same combo.
@golden155 Iâve been watching a show with a character named [name_u]Connie[/name_u], so Iâve developed a bit of a crush on it! I think it matches really well with [name_f]Peggy[/name_f] & Jane!! For [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], [name_f]Jane[/name_f], and [name_f]Constance[/name_f], it isnât necessarily that [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is too short, itâs that Iâm assuming [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] would go by [name_f]Peggy[/name_f] and [name_f]Constance[/name_f] would go by [name_u]Connie[/name_u]. so [name_f]Jane[/name_f] would be left out of the nicknames, unless of course, [name_f]Janie[/name_f] is used as well! I know thatâs not a very big deal to most people though, I just always prefer when no one is left out!!
@VivienaLunelle123 [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] [name_u]Briar[/name_u] reminds me strongly of [name_u]Briar[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]! [name_m]Just[/name_m] wanted to mention it in case you cared!!
@EagleEyes makes sense and I like it, but I think [name_u]Sam[/name_u] is better! [name_u]Sam[/name_u] is just my favorite though, I think [name_u]Sal[/name_u] is very cute for someone else! I also think a [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] could definitely go by [name_u]Sal[/name_u], it just might require a bunch of corrections when someone tries to call him [name_u]Sam[/name_u]!
Makes sense but I donât like it because I donât like [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] (donât mind [name_u]Sal[/name_u] though)

Hi, Iâm trying to pair English names with Hebrew names. While Hebrew names donât necessarily need to correspond with English names, these children would be raised in Israel and probably called their Hebrew names by most people there but their English names by friends and family in the US and Iâd like to make it not TOO confusing for them.
What Hebrew/Yiddish names work for Sascha Lev? (B)
- Zalman Lev
- Shaul Lev
- Simcha Lev
- Elisha Lev
- Lev ______
- Shai ______
- None of these make any sense
- I have a a different idea
