What names have we missed?

[name_m]Arda[/name_m] is blue!! Finally~ when will [name_m]Aslan[/name_m] and others :frowning:

Nefertari- it’s the name of the wife of [name_m]Ramses[/name_m] the second, it means beautiful companion.
Eleska- a variant of [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
Lilita- also a variant of [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] I believe

I know a ton of people with very odd names. Arulia ([name_m]Ah[/name_m]-ROO-lee-uh)
Alindria ([name_m]Ah[/name_m]-[name_f]LIN[/name_f]-dree-uh)
Anisty ([name_f]ANN[/name_f]-ist-ee)
Kyona (kee-[name_m]OAN[/name_m]-ah)
[name_f]Lavina[/name_f] (la-VEE-nah)
Tameria (tam-[name_f]AIR[/name_f]-ee-ah)
(for girls)
Dray
Drayden (DRAY-den)
Jacobson
Tyen (TIE-en)
(for boys)
These are a couple of the pretty cool ones. In a big city you meet a lot of people! I hope these are added. Thanks

My middle name- Matlyn. Its a variation of [name_f]Mary[/name_f], and it means “sea of bitterness.”

There are many lovely Jewish baby names on www.kveller.com that haven’t yet made their way to nb.

Examples:
Azarel, Idit, Liat, Mattania/h, Smadar
Yonaton, Matan, Amatzya, Ravid, Kfir

The Dutch names I’d already given in another thread, here with meanings:

Feie - means “peace” - pronounced [name_f]FEY[/name_f]-uh
Michiel - variation of [name_u]Michael[/name_u] - pronounced mih-[χ]IEL

Krijn - variation of [name_m]Quirin[/name_m] - pronounced KRAIN
Maarten - variation of [name_m]Marc[/name_m] - pronounced MAHR-tun

GIRLS -
Aafke - possibly from “[name_f]Ave[/name_f]”, “greetings” - AF-kuh
Aagje - from “[name_f]Agatha[/name_f]” - A[χ]-yuh
Annemijn - [name_f]Anne[/name_f] + mine - [name_f]ANN[/name_f]-uh-mine
Froukje - “little woman”- FROW-kyuh

Can we still report names that shouldn’t be in the database?
You have “[name_m]Irl[/name_m]” as a name. No origin, no meaning, no famous example. So I’m going to assume it’s there by accident.

edit: Icy being a variation of Tundra seems to be a mistake, too. Or is it supposed to be a joke? :confused:

I am Spanish and [name_f]Diablo[/name_f] means devil, but it is referred to a male devil, whereas Diabla is the feminine form. Seeing [name_f]Diablo[/name_f] as a female name is way too weird hahaha.
Another thing is that I’ve only seen [name_m]Eelia[/name_m] as a girl name.

What about Anysia. It’s one of my middle names. It’s an ancient greek form of the name [name_f]Anne[/name_f]/[name_f]Ann[/name_f] and it means grace.

Also, it is the name of an Orthodox [name_m]Christian[/name_m] saint.

[name_m]Heike[/name_m] is unisex.

The female version of [name_u]Nikola[/name_u] states it as a “Greek variation of [name_f]Nicole[/name_f]”
This is incorrect, the only variation of [name_f]Nicole[/name_f] we have is Nicoleta/[name_f]Nikoleta[/name_f] and [name_u]Nikola[/name_u] is considered very masculine due to the popular [name_m]Nikolas[/name_m]. [name_u]Nikola[/name_u] in Greek is also like saying [name_m]Nikolas[/name_m]’

Please add my daughters name! Its Sunehra

Wickham - it has quite a history
Valtin - it’s a Prussian version of [name_u]Valentine[/name_u] (male)

Ashtar - hebrew for “star”;
Zindelo - romani variation of the hebrew Zindel, meaning little son.

Not a suggestion per se, but is there a reason why some alternate spellings are listed as male/female when the original spelling of the name is unisex? There’s no reason why [name_f]Jaydyn[/name_f] (which has been used more for boys than girls according to another website) should be listed as female when [name_u]Jaden[/name_u] is unisex.

Meika- a girl name with [name_m]German[/name_m] origin. Although there is already [name_f]Meike[/name_f] and [name_u]Mika[/name_u] on this site, same with many other name websites, finding the name Meika is difficult task so it would be amazing if you could add it.
From 1880 to 2015, it was recorded by the Social Security Administration 500 babies with the first name Meika in the United States.

On behindthename I found the name Laima which I believe is from Baltic mythology

Another one: Elefteria/Eleftheria
Elefteria is the Greek word for “Freedom” and also a girls’ name
I think you should add it because while it is unusual it is a fun way to nn Ellie or Effie
It is pronounced eh-leh-fte-REE-ah but I suppose English speakers could also say eh-leh-FTE-ree-ah
The male version is Elefterios/Eleftherios (eh-leh-FTE-ree-os) and the airport in Athens is actually named Elefterios Venizelos Airport after a politician
In a blog post you mentioned the foreign variation Eleuthera

What about ‘Lyndrea’ :slight_smile: Its actually my own name, but I’d be very interested to know if it originates from somewhere. My mum made it up apparently. Its a cross between [name_f]Lynette[/name_f] and [name_u]Andrea[/name_u] i guess.
