A few days ago I played a game on the “baby name game” board where I had to pretend I was a middle school art teacher at a school in a community made up of mostly hippies. I had to create names for each of the kids in my classes while staying within a “hippie” name vibe. Some of the combos I ended up genuinely liking, and I was just wondering what anyone else thought? Which of these names can you see in the “real” world? Which are too “out there?” And why? Also, are there any “hippie” names you love?

Not usually, but when your a middle school teacher and 95% of kids don’t come the last day, you have nothing to do but play on the computer while they watch movies, play board games, etc…since there aren’t lessons to plan and all grades have been submitted already.
Besides, I wasn’t the only person to play this particular game, and I’m certainly not the only person to post on this site.
Furthermore, the need for judgement as to how I spend my time is unnecessary. You didn’t have to comment on the post. I’m sorry you “wasted” your time by having to do that.
Now, for anyone interested in this style of naming, I would appreciate genuine input.
Thanks [name]Elena[/name]! I just can’t get some of them out of my head even though my rational brain tells me they’re a little out there! For some reason I’m in [name]LOVE[/name] with Revolution “Rev” as a boy’s name. I guess these will just have to go on my guilty pleasures list!
[name]Hi[/name] there
I too think that there was no need for judgement
on how you, I or anyone chooses to spend their free time-).
[name]Just[/name] don’t read or post on these threads if they are not your cup of tea,unnecessary.
Anyway back to your thread
I too played the game and really enjoyed coming up with the names and really liked alot of them,
and realised [name]HOW[/name] much I do like unusual hippie names.
Of your names my favourites were:
[name]Freedom[/name] Riser “[name]Free[/name]” - Really like this
[name]Ruby[/name] [name]Secret[/name]
[name]Kai[/name] Revolution - And this
[name]Aria[/name] [name]May[/name]
[name]Ever[/name] Amigo
[name]Maverick[/name] [name]Blaze[/name]
[name]Indira[/name] [name]Love[/name]
[name]Journey[/name] [name]Wolf[/name] - And this
Tallullah [name]Jay[/name] “[name]Tully[/name]”
[name]Daisy[/name] [name]Sunshine[/name]
[name]Aurora[/name] [name]Truth[/name] - And this too
[name]Pan[/name] [name]Francisco[/name]
My fave ones I came up with were:
[name]Indigo[/name] [name]River[/name]- this has been my fave for a boy for years
[name]Imagine[/name] [name]Peace[/name] (G)
Kereru [name]Sky[/name] (B) Kereru is a native NZ bird which is beautiful,
pron Keh-reh-Roo, but you kinda roll the middle “R” bit…hard to explain lol
berriepine…I love your list too! I couldn’t resist commenting on it. These are my favorites:
[name]Indigo[/name] [name]River[/name]- LOOOVVVEEE it! I love the nn [name]Indy[/name], which would def be perfect for little [name]Indigo[/name], and [name]River[/name] has always been a mn fave for me!
[name]Imagine[/name] [name]Peace[/name]- [name]Imagine[/name] is really close in pn to [name]Imogene[/name], so I can see this as socially acceptable, plus I like the meaning!
Kereru [name]Sky[/name] (B)- I see it, but shy away from names that people feel they have to be explained.
[name]Akiva[/name] Revolution- not sure about [name]Akiva[/name], but [name]Lord[/name] knows I [name]LOVE[/name] Revolution!
[name]Tallulah[/name] [name]Belle[/name]- [name]Tallulah[/name] is on my short list, and it pairs nicely with [name]Belle[/name].
[name]Avalon[/name] [name]Starlight[/name]- [name]Avalon[/name] is one of the few names I loved as a child that I still love. As for [name]Starlight[/name], I think just about anything can work as a mn, and that’s the spot you can really “let loose” and have fun with naming!
[name]Apollo[/name] [name]St[/name] [name]James[/name]- I love Greek names, and [name]Apollo[/name] is an absolute fave. I also love [name]James[/name], and [name]St[/name]. [name]James[/name] is interesting.
[name]Freedom[/name] Flow Riverstone- REALLY love [name]Freedom[/name], especially nn “[name]Free[/name]” and Flow is cute…Riverstone is kinda clunky though imo.
[name]Onyx[/name] [name]Leon[/name]- This name is my 2nd fave combo from your list (1st being [name]Indigo[/name] [name]River[/name]), but I love how this sounds together, and I think its something that sounds distinguished and not “too” hippie!
Banyon [name]Tide[/name]- [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Tide[/name]…not an uncommon name here in [name]Alabama[/name] where we’re all football fanatics ([name]Alabama[/name] [name]Crimson[/name] [name]Tide[/name]).
Zuma [name]Orion[/name] [name]True[/name]- I don’t like Zuma, but [name]Orion[/name] is on my boy’s short list, and I really like [name]True[/name] as a mn.
[name]Caspian[/name] [name]Grace[/name]- [name]Caspian[/name] is beautiful, but I only see it as a boy’s name. Also, I don’t care how popular [name]Grace[/name] may be, I still love it as a mn.
Thanks for commenting, and for sharing your great list!
[name]Hi[/name] l_mc, thanks for your compliments on my list
Yeah [name]Indigo[/name] [name]River[/name] has been my fave for so long now and I intend to use it when I have a son one day, I already call him my little [name]Indy[/name] :-)…and my sister has told me if i don’t use it she certainly will haha she loves it too.
I like to imagine having Boy-Girl twins [name]Indigo[/name] & [name]Imagine[/name]
[name]Onyx[/name] [name]Leon[/name] really works doesn’t it, and I would never have come up with it if I hadn’t been playing that game, so its been added to my short list
And [name]Apollo[/name] [name]St[/name] [name]James[/name] is awesome to, have loved [name]Apollo[/name] for awhile and the [name]St[/name] [name]James[/name] just came to me and I thought it sounded great.
So thanks again with your comments I agreed with alot of what you said, it’s neat to talk to someone with similar taste in names…and all the way over there in [name]Alabama[/name]! The wonders of the internet
Have a happy day
YOU have way too much time on your hands when you have time enough to write a reply like that.
If you don’t like a thread, why don’t you do us all a favour and stay out of it.
