Thank you so much - its lovely!

For [name_f]Estelita[/name_f] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] I am having mixed vibes of 2000s from [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] and 60s/70s from [name_f]Estelita[/name_f] - So I will try and mix it up a bit.

  • ‘Pack Up’ - [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] Doolittle
  • ‘Voulez Vouz’ - ABBA

For [name_m]Alphonse[/name_m] Rook I am feeling 70s rock and blues vibes - I initially read Rook as [name_m]Rock[/name_m] and now its in my mind :joy:.

  • ‘Take Me to the River’ - [name_m]Al[/name_m] [name_u]Green[/name_u]
  • ‘Black Night’ - Deep Purple

[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_f]Hallie[/name_f]

[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] is the beach with her family. She and her siblings have green buckets which they are filling with treasures. It’s a warm, windy day and Evangeline’s curls are whipping about. She pushes her hair back off her forehead with her sandy hand, making the bucket hanging over her wrist collide with her face. It doesn’t hurt but she is annoyed with the silly wind and the silly bucket. [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] turns to the side and the wind pushes her hair back out of her face. She smiles and walks into the wind, looking for shells.
The sand feels warm and scrunchy under her feet. There’s a bit of grit between her teeth too. [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] wants to spit it out but she knows it isn’t nice to spit, so she puts it on the edge of her tongue and hopes that her new friend, the wind, will blow it off. She spots something shiny and green in the sand. It’s a round jewel. [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] puts it into into her bucket and runs back to her family to show them.
“You’ve found a piece of glass! Look the sea has made it all smooth,” says her aunt. “You’ve got a lot of sand on your face.” She starts to wipe [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] with a wet-wipe. [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] sticks her tongue out so she can wipe the sand off and then she realises that it isn’t there anymore.
“I got sand on my tongue but the wind taked it away for me,” she shared.
“Really?” says her aunt and all of the adults smile and look at her fondly.
[name_u]James[/name_u] wants to go into the sea again. [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] isn’t so sure. She fell over last time as she lost her balance when the water came rushing in and made her feel like she was moving.
“Let’s hold hands,” suggest [name_f]Lucia[/name_f]. [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] agrees.
The children hold hands, with [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] in the middle. They walk together, slowly, feeling the water sloop around their ankles and rise up their calves. The water remains shallow a long way out, so the adults watch them from the sand. The green water lifts and crashes, making foam spill and dance towards them.
“Let’s stop here,” [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] tells her siblings when the water reaches her knees. A swell is gathering and getting larger.
“It’s a big one coming!” shrieks [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] with delight.
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] feels excited and unsure. The water is sucked out towards the wave and for a second she can see her feet, toes digging into the sea bed. The wave breaks and water rushes through them. [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] thinks that she might fall again, but she has [name_u]James[/name_u] and Lucia’s hands and they don’t move. The water starts going out and down again. [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] feels exhilarated. She laughs and looks at [name_u]James[/name_u], who is laughing too, and at [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] who can’t see anything because her hair band has come out and all of her hair is over her face.
“Lulu, look this way,” she says, showing her sister how the wind will help her. All of the children look left along the shore, and their aunt takes a photo of them smiling into the wind, holding hands, with their hair streaming and shining in the sun.

I love all three of these names so much :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

[name_f]Avalon[/name_f] [name_u]Vesper[/name_u] - I associate [name_u]Vesper[/name_u] with the character from [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_m]Bond[/name_m] and [name_f]Avalon[/name_f] gives me a powerful, cool girl vibe…

  • ‘Skyfall’ - [name_f]Adele[/name_f] (I know this isn’t the featured song from the film with [name_u]Vesper[/name_u] Lynd in but I love the song and I feel it does fit)
  • ‘Bad Girls’ - M.I.A

[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] - I feel this little girl would have both a soft side and a more spunky side so I will go for…

  • ‘You’re Kind’ - [name_m]Paul[/name_m] [name_m]Simon[/name_m]
  • ‘I can’t dance’ - [name_u]Genesis[/name_u]

[name_u]Jasper[/name_u] [name_u]Miles[/name_u] - I’m getting strong jazz vibes here, specifically [name_u]Miles[/name_u] [name_u]Davis[/name_u] and then also some modern but gentle vibes (I will give you three here because there are so many good songs I feel fit the aesthetic)

  • ‘Miles ahead’ - [name_u]Miles[/name_u] [name_u]Davis[/name_u]
  • ‘Let’s Call The Whole Thing Off’ - [name_f]Ella[/name_f] [name_m]Fitzgerald[/name_m] & [name_m]Louis[/name_m] [name_m]Armstrong[/name_m]
  • ‘Orange Juice’ - [name_u]Stanley[/name_u] Brinks and The Wave Pictures

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] these are ok!

Okay I’ll offer some things now.

I am offering:

  1. Custom name lists with origins and meanings, all collected from my list of over 25,000 names. I can guarantee some of them, if not all of them will be completely new to you!

  2. Renames with explanations. If you request a rename, please leave some information about yourself. I’ll give an example of some information that someone gave me and the name I gave them on an old thread.

Information they gave me! This person gave me the perfect amount, so please base it off of this.
  • 24, 5"4, blonde hair, blue eyes, freckles
  • Loves writing (YA, fantasy, badass females), Disney, animation, reality TV
  • Psychology major
  • Creative writing / [name_f]English[/name_f] passion
  • Super into travelling and being with friends.
The name / response I gave them, based on this information

I would name you [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Trinity[/name_f] or [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_u]Scout[/name_u]

[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] is of Latin origin and means “dawn”. Although the meaning of [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] is lovely, its connection to literature and Disney is what makes me think of you when I see this name. Sleeping [name_f]Beauty[/name_f] is an absolute classic story as well as a Disney movie. I was planning on naming my child [name_u]Briar[/name_u] from the same story, so of course I absolutely love this name . [name_f]Trinity[/name_f] is of Latin origin and means “triad”. I always love finding a combo where both the names are of the same origin! I’m a big fan of the name [name_f]Trinity[/name_f] personally, the heroine of The [name_u]Matrix[/name_u] coming immediately to mind. She’s certainly a strong character, so I associated her with you.

[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] is of Latin; Celtic origin and means “heart; daughter of the sea”. I thought this was such a stunning meaning, even though I couldn’t fully conclude whether Latin or Celtic was the more commonly accepted origin. [name_f]My[/name_f] connection from you to [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] was a bit of a long-winded one. I don’t know if you’ve read [name_u]Anne[/name_u] of [name_u]Green[/name_u] Gables or watched the the TV show [name_u]Anne[/name_u] with An ‘E’, But the lead character, [name_u]Anne[/name_u], in her fantasy world, goes by [name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]. [name_u]Anne[/name_u] is one of the most well-known literary characters in the world, and in her TV show she is such a strong, feminist character. As lovely as the name [name_u]Anne[/name_u] is, I thought [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] was wonderful for you. [name_u]Scout[/name_u] is of [name_f]English[/name_f] origin and means “one who gathers information covertly”. I’m a writer too, and sometimes I can feel a bit like a scout when doing my research for writing, so I imagine you feel the same at times! [name_u]Scout[/name_u] is also another famous literary character, so all in all, you have a very literary name!

  1. I’ve never really done them, but I’d love to try my hand at name aesthetics, so please give me a name and I’ll try make a collage / aesthetic out of it.

I am requesting:

@Scottie491 Your boards are stunning – I would love a bold and busy collage for [name_u]Nova[/name_u] [name_f]Serendipity[/name_f] if you have time! :purple_heart:

@EdgeOfTheMeadow Such a cute and unique idea! I’d love a daily description for [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] [name_u]James[/name_u]! :purple_heart:

@eileithyia

Wow - some great ideas here!! I would love a custom name list and if its not too much trouble, a re-naming as well

A bit about me (let me know if you need any more!)
  • I am 5’'5 with blonde hair and green eyes
  • I am 33 and a professional dancer
  • I’m English
  • I’m very into vintage clothing from 70s-90s
  • My favourite colour is green

I am offering UC readings and song matching in return if either of those appeal to you!

@EleanorVintage Thank you so much and of course you may join. Everyone is welcome.

Here is your board for the gorgeous Julia Frances! I just love this combo.

I’d love a past decades rename when you get a chance. How about a 1920s female name? A little about me: A writer, editor, and teacher, I am, less formally, a bookworm with a surprising social side when the mood hits me. I am protective of my loved ones, my students, and any other person who has been wronged, and I am a huge promoter of justice and equality. I read comic books, dance with my husband, and do my best to enjoy life in my spare time. And I love animals.

@Mar Here is your board for the swashbuckling [name_m]Adriano[/name_m] [name_m]Lucas[/name_m]!

I’d love if you can come up with some combo ideas for the first names of [name_f]Zenaida[/name_f] (girl) and [name_m]Omar[/name_m] (boy). Thanks!

@EmilyMcA I just found some time to listen to all the songs, two of which I knew. :grin: They’re perfect for the name combos, thank you so much! It makes me love the combos all the more.

@EdgeOfTheMeadow I do too! I see [name_f]Thea[/name_f] as bright green and [name_f]Marianne[/name_f] as varying shades of purple.

I’ll offer a childhood moodboard (I already had a thread just for those moodboards but it became very overwhelming so I closed it. I’ll happily do any requests I get here, though. However, please just one name/combo at a time.)

Here are a few examples from the old thread

this is such a cool thread!

i’m offering to make movie posters or polaroid pictures for your names! please request only one name or combo at a time.

name movie poster: if you request a movie poster with a first and middle name i will find the information (name origin, meaning and popularity) on the first name only (i find that it looks less cluttered this way). but if you do want the middle name information on the poster please specify! also if there’s another section you would like added to your poster such as sibling names, let me know and i can do that for you! the image selected is based off the vibe of the name.

here is an example of what the name movie poster would look like

name polaroids: the image selected for the polaroid picture is based off the general vibe of the name. if you want the meaning, origin or popularity of the name added to the polaroid please specify!

here is an example of what the name polaroid picture would look like
