What would you name your kids

…Using names that are not on your long list (or short list depending on how long your long-list is!)
To inspire everyone a little and get you thinking about names outside of your familiar favourites!

I would have my littles be:

[name_f]Brigitta[/name_f] [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] :bouquet:
[name_f]Magdalena[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] :kite:
[name_f]Agatha[/name_f] [name_m]Sparrow[/name_m] :radio:

Same! [name_f]My[/name_f] longlist is literally every name I like out of every name I could find, alphabetised, so I literally would not be able to choose if I couldn’t use that :joy:

Using no names from my top list or my backup list (will try not to use any of the current middles I have paired with the names either),

[name_m]Phineas[/name_m] [name_f]Bay[/name_f]
[name_m]Kit[/name_m] [name_m]Huckleberry[/name_m]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]

Ooh, interesting! I’ll use my under consideration list i.e. names I’ve found interesting, but haven’t added yet.

Pyrrha [name_f]Nyla[/name_f] Orphéa
[name_m]Elyan[/name_m] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] [name_m]Noé[/name_m]
Arnaea [name_f]Serafina[/name_f] Iphis
[name_m]Laith[/name_m] [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] [name_m]Penrose[/name_m]

Pyrrha, [name_m]Elyan[/name_m], Arnaea, & [name_m]Laith[/name_m].

This was actually so useful! As usual I have too many options for girls and barely enough for boys. But it has made me realise some of these have definitely been under consideration long enough, so I might need to make some additions!

astraea, persephone, orpheus & hyperion :notes:

love astraea & persephone and they used to rank high up on my list before, but now they’re a bit below my top names. orpheus and hyperion are gps more than anything but i still love them.

[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] and [name_m]Talon[/name_m] [name_m]Azriel[/name_m] [name_f]Lux[/name_f]

This is fun so I’m doing more!!

[name_f]Lurline[/name_f] [name_f]Astrid[/name_f]

[name_f]Antigone[/name_f] [name_f]Dido[/name_f]
[name_f]Isadora[/name_f] [name_f]Verity[/name_f]

Names off my “considering” list! They’re not entirely cohesive, and I’d normally do 2 mn’s, but I actually really love these :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

[name_f]Fiorenza[/name_f] [name_f]Margaux[/name_f]
[name_f]Natalie[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]

Outside of my top 30. If I try to avoid my long list/masterlist, my brain will literally go blank and I can’t think of a single name on earth apparently.

So…

[name_m]Sorrel[/name_m] [name_f]Elanor[/name_f]
[name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] [name_f]Collins[/name_f]
[name_f]Maven[/name_f] [name_f]Winslet[/name_f]

[name_m]Macaulay[/name_m] [name_m]Rivers[/name_m]
[name_m]Sacha[/name_m] [name_m]Mercer[/name_m]
[name_m]Dacre[/name_m] [name_m]Bellamy[/name_m]
