What do you like!?

Q
U
X
Y

I have a really hard time liking names beginning with these letters for the most part… To the extent that I really just don’t even see them. If you have a name, a child named or a favorite name beginning with one or more of these letters please share and if you have a hard time feeling any of these letters as comfortable names discuss :slight_smile: I’m stumped
I do think I may like Yorrick, [name_m]Xander[/name_m], [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] & um…?
All I’ve got :-/

[name_u]Quinn[/name_u] is as far as I go for Q. Maybe even [name_m]Quentin[/name_m], but probably not.

[name_f]Ursula[/name_f] and [name_u]Umber[/name_u] are cool. [name_m]Uriah[/name_m], [name_m]Ulysses[/name_m], [name_f]Uma[/name_f].

[name_m]Xavier[/name_m] and [name_m]Xander[/name_m] are the most popular X names, and I also like [name_f]Xaviera[/name_f].

[name_f]Yelena[/name_f]! I used to know a girl named [name_f]Yelena[/name_f], her family was heavily Russian. I thought it was beautiful. [name_f]Yasmin[/name_f] is okay too, but I hate [name_f]Yolanda[/name_f]. Please don’t name your child [name_m]Yuri[/name_m].

[name_m]Quest[/name_m] (if [name_u]West[/name_u] is a name, why not?)
[name_m]Ulysses[/name_m]
[name_f]Xia[/name_f], Xios (nn for [name_u]Alexios[/name_u])
[name_f]Ysolde[/name_f], [name_f]Yvette[/name_f], [name_m]Yves[/name_m]

I adore the name [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] on a boy. [name_m]Ulysses[/name_m] or [name_f]Ursula[/name_f], [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] and Yessica.

I just don’t like any names beginning with Y or Q. And I only have 1 for U.

[name_f]Urania[/name_f]

[name_f]Xanthe[/name_f]/[name_f]Xanthia[/name_f]
[name_f]Xenia[/name_f]
[name_f]Xiamara[/name_f]/[name_f]Xiomara[/name_f]
Xylina

[name_m]Xavier[/name_m] (said the Zay-Vee-er way)
[name_m]Xavian[/name_m]
[name_m]Xerxes[/name_m]
[name_m]Xanthus[/name_m]

“[name_m]Quest[/name_m] (if [name_u]West[/name_u] is a name, why not”

I love [name_m]Quest[/name_m], I had a pet that I gave this name a while back. Which I should not have done because I know I would have used it for a middle name for a boy :-/ I guess theoretically I still could but well you see… Great suggestion though!!!

Lots of good suggestions actually. And I think Y might be so hard because it would be culturally inappropriate for is to ever have say a Yessabel or something like that? Though I know of a family who has one and its no more appropriate for them :wink: they call her [name_f]Essy[/name_f]…

[name_m]Uriah[/name_m] I have no problem with but would end up being called [name_m]Uri[/name_m] I’m quite confident and my husband hates it but that’s beside the point, definitly tougher sounds to really get into.

I knew a girl who had a half a dozen siblings and their family named them all Z names her name was [name_f]Zara[/name_f] and there was a [name_m]Zachary[/name_m] I think and maybe a few others where a was switched out for Z, everyone was taking all the names she liked she she just popped a z before them and they came across as legitimate names, conservative family she wasn’t trying to be unique or anything wonky. I thought that was interesting, z is more palatable but quite close to S so I tend to lean more toward S when there is an option though there are many quite nice Z names… x ( why I bring this up) is sometimes used in the same way like Xara/ [name_f]Zara[/name_f]…[name_m]Xavier[/name_m]/ [name_m]Zavier[/name_m]… And I see an [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] born nearly every month at our hospital so I think x is quite popular., but X still I gloss over it, I think its very funny.

Does anyone else have any letters they don’t really look at when thinking about names?

Q: [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] (boy), [name_u]Quincy[/name_u], [name_m]Quentin[/name_m], [name_f]Quintana[/name_f]
U: [name_f]Ursula[/name_f]
X: [name_m]Xavier[/name_m], [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f], [name_f]Xiomara[/name_f]
Y: [name_f]Yasmin[/name_f], [name_f]Yasmina[/name_f], [name_u]Yarrow[/name_u]

Oh goodie!

Q [name_u]Quinn[/name_u], [name_m]Quill[/name_m], [name_f]Querida[/name_f], [name_f]Queenie[/name_f], [name_m]Quentin[/name_m]
U [name_f]Ursula[/name_f], [name_m]Uriel[/name_m], [name_m]Ulysses[/name_m], [name_u]Unique[/name_u], [name_f]Ula[/name_f], [name_f]Una[/name_f], [name_f]Uma[/name_f]
X Xochitl (soh-CHEE-tl), Xitlalli (seet-[name_f]LOLLY[/name_f]) like lollipop, [name_m]Xavier[/name_m], [name_m]Xander[/name_m], [name_f]Ximena[/name_f], [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f]
Y [name_f]Yseult[/name_f], [name_f]Ysolde[/name_f], [name_f]Yolanthe[/name_f], [name_f]Yolanda[/name_f], [name_f]Ysabel[/name_f], Ysalin

I love the names [name_f]Yolanthe[/name_f] and [name_f]Yvaine[/name_f]. [name_m]Quill[/name_m] is one I like for a boy. I don’t like any other Q names, and I find most begining with U off-putting for some reason. I like a handful of X names, but thats about it.

Quinley, [name_f]Unity[/name_f], Zolie, Zeyleigh, [name_f]Zoelle[/name_f], & [name_f]Zillah[/name_f] for girls. [name_m]Quade[/name_m], Zennon, [name_f]Zakiah[/name_f], [name_m]Zayden[/name_m], Zavian, & [name_m]Quinlan[/name_m] for a boy.

[name_m]Don[/name_m]'t really like any X or Y names

Sorry I thought you asked about z names too, so my answer to your actual question is: Quinley, [name_m]Quinlan[/name_m], and [name_f]Unity[/name_f]

Q - [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] (boy) and [name_m]Quentin[/name_m]
X - [name_m]Xander[/name_m], [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] and [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f]

I don’t have any favourite names for U or Y - I find those letters rather unappealing.

Wow thanks ! Keep them coming! I forgot about [name_f]Unity[/name_f], that’s right up there with [name_f]Verity[/name_f] for me I think :slight_smile: I know someone that just had a baby called [name_m]Quill[/name_m], I agree its a nice q name :slight_smile: that’s ok Z often less shared so it doesn’t hurt! I think of them Y is the very hardest, I’m trying to warm to it still . When someone says my children are Y-, Y-, & U- I want to say oh those are nice if they are and not just glaze over :wink:

Q: Girls: [name_f]Quintina[/name_f], [name_f]Quilla[/name_f], [name_u]Quarry[/name_u], [name_m]Quill[/name_m], [name_u]Quince[/name_u].
Boys: [name_m]Quentin[/name_m], [name_m]Quigley[/name_m], [name_u]Quarry[/name_u], [name_m]Quill[/name_m], [name_u]Quincy[/name_u], [name_u]Quince[/name_u].

U: Girls: [name_f]Ursula[/name_f], [name_f]Ulla[/name_f], [name_f]Una[/name_f], [name_f]Uma[/name_f], Uki, Unette, Unetta.
Boys: [name_m]Ulysses[/name_m].

X: Nothing.

Y: Girls: [name_u]Yanni[/name_u].
Boys: [name_u]Yanni[/name_u], [name_m]Yves[/name_m].

I like [name_f]Verity[/name_f] too! :slight_smile: And I just thought of a decent Y name: [name_u]Yale[/name_u]

It’s true there’s not a lot of names starting with these letters, but the ones I do like are…

[name_m]Ulysses[/name_m]
[name_m]Uriah[/name_m]
[name_f]Ursula[/name_f]
[name_f]Xanthe[/name_f]
Xanthippe
[name_m]Xavier[/name_m]

I’ve seen [name_m]Ulric[/name_m] floating around alot lately. [name_m]Uriah[/name_m], Uman, [name_u]Utah[/name_u], Uley, [name_u]Unique[/name_u], [name_u]Xen[/name_u], Yaslene, Yumi, Qasar, Quantum, Qallam, Quilly

Q: I really like the name [name_u]Quincy[/name_u] for a boy. I didn’t notice it at first, but I had a dream that I had a son named [name_u]Quincy[/name_u] and it kind of grew on me, you know?

U: The only names I can stand that start with U are [name_m]Uriah[/name_m] and [name_f]Una[/name_f].

X: I love [name_m]Xavier[/name_m]. I’ve always thought that [name_u]Quincy[/name_u] and [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] would make a nice sibset together. I think [name_m]Xander[/name_m] is nice, too.

Y: As far as Y goes, I’m not crazy about any names, but when I’m forced to pick a Y name, I usually go with Yaxley for a boy and [name_f]Yvette[/name_f] for a girl.

So many great thoughts, seems like [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] is quite popular and yea I think I could like [name_u]Yale[/name_u]!! Great one!
So I think top names with these letters
[name_m]Quest[/name_m]/[name_u]Quinn[/name_u]
[name_m]Xander[/name_m]/ Xane
[name_u]Yale[/name_u]/ Yorrick
[name_m]Uriah[/name_m] I guess

I like more names from the end of the alphabet than the front…? I hate almost all B names for boys…
