[name]Just[/name] wanted to add that the people who love certain names that the other people in their life HATE? That means the general population will hear your kid’s name and hate it, too. listen carefully to the response and be kind to the baby.
With that being said, those of you who love Auralie or Aurily, etc it sounds like ORALLY and nobody wants that.
Like [name]Harlow[/name] [name]Winter[/name]? I think that combo is sort of taken because you can’t hide the connection. It just sounds too copycat-ish. I also knew a [name]Marcus[/name] who was called Mucus (like phlegm). Poor kid
Some that are not English:
[name]Soleil[/name] (sun in french)
[name]Valo[/name] (light in finnish)
[name]Una[/name] (one in spanish)
[name]Lux[/name] (light in spanish)
[name]Alba[/name] (white in spanish)
[name]Aya[/name] (bird in hebrew)
[name]Bjorn[/name] (bear in swedish)
[name]Corbin[/name] (raven in latin)
[name]Jonah[/name] (dove in hebrew)
[name]Solomon[/name] (peace in hebrew)
NATURE
[name]Breeze[/name]
[name]Cove[/name]
[name]Grove[/name]
[name]Mesa[/name]
[name]Orion[/name] (were I live this is prn OR-ee-un)
[name]Ridge[/name]
[name]Soleil[/name] (“sun” in French)
Cairdeas is an Irish synonym for [name_f]Amity[/name_f] (friendship/concord/alliance). When I learned this, it became the obvious choice for a middle name
My favorite is [name_f]Holiday[/name_f] for a little girl, nn [name_f]Holly[/name_f]! It’s probably the most out there name on my shorter list, but I can’t get over it.
I haven’t read through all the responses so sorry for repeats!
I have a [name_u]Jet[/name_u] and a [name_f]Maple[/name_f]. [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] [name_f]Holiday[/name_f]! Other favorites- Caraway, Chapel, [name_f]Honor[/name_f]
Personally I love Paradox. It’s a word that oozes with intelligence and mystery.
[name_f]Symphony[/name_f] is another of my favorites. Along with [name_f]Aria[/name_f] and [name_u]Rhythm[/name_u].
In the natural word I love [name_f]Opal[/name_f], [name_f]Cypress[/name_f], [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], [name_f]Holly[/name_f], [name_f]Hyacinth[/name_f], [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_u]Ocean[/name_u], and Levithan.
I like would like Aderyn if I could mis-pronounce it by stressing the first syllable instead of the second…but then people might make the “Adderall” association Awena and Arwenna are Welsh for “muse”
Would only consider as middles:
[name_f]Fjord[/name_f]
[name_u]Slate[/name_u]
[name_u]Cerulean[/name_u]
Chartreuse
[name_f]Rhapsody[/name_f]
[name_f]Madrigal[/name_f] (so cool! this is new to me)
[name_f]Kismet[/name_f]
Paradox is such a cool word! But I’m too chicken to consider it for a human. It would make a great ferret name! (I have two ferrets, Slinky and Snowball) Other ferret “sib sets” that would be cute: Caesura and Fermata, [name_f]Flora[/name_f] and [name_f]Fauna[/name_f]
