What name(s) have you just discovered?

General Name Discussion
1

I’m feeling a bit uninspired by my list—even my long 150+ name lists just feel like things I’ve seen over and over again. I want to discover something new and I don’t know if anyone else feels the same! I think it would be fun to introduce more names into the Nameberry universe.

When you find a new name—whether it’s made up by hipster Instagram parents or an ancient treasure lost to time or anything in between—post it here!

I’ll start: Sølvi! (Spotted on a baby girl in a YouTube video)

Discovered a while ago but I think you might like it: Chavazelet.

I also recently got suggested [name_u]Ashby[/name_u] and I really like it!

A friend was talking about possibly naming her child “Covenry” if a boy not too long ago. I fell in love with it as soon as she said it

I love threads like this. [name_u]New[/name_u] names are so exciting.

Valley -I’ve been seeing this one around Namberry the last few weeks/months. I love all the nature names, but this was a new idea for me!
Another recently introduced nature name for me is [name_u]Fennel[/name_u].

Doing a little research for the Scandi/Norse middle name thread I came across a few new to me. Synnove, Alfhild, Bodil, [name_f]Eydis[/name_f], [name_f]Tindra[/name_f] & [name_f]Tordis[/name_f].

Gallus
Eddin
Alfinn
[name_u]Floris[/name_u]

Adlai for a girl
[name_f]Cedany[/name_f]
