Which names do your loved ones love?

[Mary_Rose]

As a namenerd I’m always fascinated by the opinions of non-namenerds ( ) so I thought this thread would be fun! What names do the people in your life (friends, family, partners, whatever) really adore?

mary’s

mum - [name_f]Helena[/name_f] (she adores this and is frustrated by the fact she didn’t think of it when naming me and my sister), [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], [name_f]Clara[/name_f], Lauren; [name_u]Francis[/name_u], [name_m]Benedict[/name_m], [name_m]Peter[/name_m], [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
dad - [name_f]Emma[/name_f], [name_u]Rose[/name_u], Elena; [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], [name_m]Felix[/name_m] (oh my goodness he’s obsessed with the name Felix), [name_m]Peter[/name_m]

[EdgeOfTheMeadow]

When I was younger, my mum used to say that her favourite girls’ name was [name_f]Sarah[/name_f], but I mentioned this to her recently and she looked a bit blank So maybe it was a case of ‘my child is obsessed with names and won’t stop talking about them, give her an answer to make her stop asking me what my favourite name is’ etc. I wouldn’t blame her, I was one of six, she must have felt ‘talked to death’ at times!!

One of my sisters likes [name_f]Amara[/name_f].

[Indilee]

[name_f]My[/name_f] partner would use [name_f]Iris[/name_f] for a little girl in a heart beat! I love it too, but I’m worried it’s going to be too popular by the time we have kids He also loves [name_f]Ofelia[/name_f], which will never cease to surprise me (not complaining though!).

[name_f]My[/name_f] mother is the only other person I’ve discussed names with before. All her children (4) have familiar names with a vintage vibe, and aren’t too high on the charts, but she likes some real quirky ones too! [name_m]Bede[/name_m], [name_u]Ziggy[/name_u], [name_f]Dasha[/name_f], Goldie… pretty similar to my taste in names

[VioletMoon]

[name_f]My[/name_f] aunt recently told me she loves the name [name_f]Victoria[/name_f]. She said she loves how strong it sounds, that it’s probably what she would have named a daughter if she had one.

[name_f]Sister[/name_f]: loves [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], [name_f]Adelyn[/name_f], [name_f]Cecily[/name_f], [name_f]Delia[/name_f], [name_f]Idalia[/name_f], [name_f]Alaiyah[/name_f], [name_f]Estella[/name_f], & [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]

Other sister: She doesn’t really know, but recently [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f], & [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] have caught her attention

[name_f]My[/name_f] boyfriend: Has never much been into names, but he loves [name_f]Nina[/name_f], [name_m]Andres[/name_m], & [name_m]Darwin[/name_m]. I’ve also gotten him into a few others, so he agrees on, [name_u]Rio[/name_u], [name_f]Marina[/name_f], [name_f]Lola[/name_f], [name_f]Vienna[/name_f], & [name_u]Azul[/name_u]

One of my best friends loves the name [name_m]Lucas[/name_m], but has also mentioned loving [name_f]Nina[/name_f].

Another friend has loved [name_u]Julian[/name_u] for quite a while now.

A third friend adores [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f], but when she was finally pregnant with her little girl, her husband didn’t agree to that name and so they went for something a bit more classic in the Spanish community.

A cousin of mine recently named her baby [name_u]Cataleya[/name_u]
