Thoughts on Journey?

I love the name [name_f]Journey[/name_f] but I want to make sure it’s not a stripper name. Are there good sibling names for [name_f]Journey[/name_f]?

Well I definitely didn’t think stripper… I thought of other “word” names like [name_f]Honor[/name_f], [name_f]Hope[/name_f], [name_u]True[/name_u], [name_f]Destiny[/name_f]… I like it!

It’s not my style at all, but that’s not what matters. What are the associations for you? Is it the meaning of the word? The sound? The band [name_f]Journey[/name_f]?
It has hippie/new-age connotations for me. Because of that, for siblings, I’d think: [name_u]Sage[/name_u], [name_u]Bliss[/name_u], [name_f]Lotus[/name_f], or [name_u]Peace[/name_u].

While not my style there’s nothing wrong with it. I think good sibling names would include [name_f]Astoria[/name_f] nn [name_u]Story[/name_u], [name_u]River[/name_u], [name_m]Ridge[/name_m], [name_u]Piper[/name_u].

I like it. It’s bold and has an adventurous, magical feel.

[name_f]Journey[/name_f] and…
[name_u]Sailor[/name_u]
[name_u]Winter[/name_u]
[name_f]Jubilee[/name_f]
[name_u]Ocean[/name_u]
[name_u]Sasha[/name_u]
[name_f]Calla[/name_f]
[name_u]Sage[/name_u]
[name_u]Winslow[/name_u]
[name_u]Merritt[/name_u]
[name_u]Meredith[/name_u]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u]
[name_u]Poet[/name_u]
[name_f]Emerald[/name_f]
[name_f]Nova[/name_f]
[name_u]Ever[/name_u]
[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]

I think it’s bold and modern, and probably would fit well with other word names, but I definitely don’t think ‘stripper.’

[name_f]Journey[/name_f] is lovely, S/O and I have said it would be a strong contender when the time comes for us to name a baby (though our preferred spelling is [name_f]Journee[/name_f], as S/O wanted to break from the word association a little, which honestly, I don’t mind).

I strongly dislike associating names with terms like “trashy” or “stripper” for a lot of reasons, but [name_f]Journey[/name_f] feels no different to me than word names that are currently dominating the charts (much like [name_f]Journey[/name_f] itself).

I like [name_f]Journey[/name_f] a lot. Doesn’t sound like a stripper name to me. I think you’ll hear a lot of “Oh like the band” in response which isn’t a bad thing.

It always disappoints me to hear/see people use the term “stripper name” with a negative connotation. Nobody has ever said “I don’t like that name, it sounds like a CEO.” Strippers are worthy of the same respect CEO’s/anyone else is, and “stripper names” are acceptable and valid and nice, like other names are. :slight_smile:
I think the name [name_f]Journey[/name_f] is really nice, a la [name_f]Destiny[/name_f]. I’m unsure about middle names for it though.
