💌 Word Names

What are some ordinary words you think would make great names if they didn’t already have a meaning! These are the words that would not work on as an actual name, but could be pretty if they weren’t commonly used.

Here are some of my examples;

Boys:
[name_f]Manhattan[/name_f]
Cellar
[name_f]Camera[/name_f]
Flannel
Corduroy

Girls:
[name_f]Strawberry[/name_f]
Cursive
Cassette
[name_f]Allegory[/name_f]
Epitome

[name_f]Maudlin[/name_f] for a girl, absolutely

yes! this!

I get this too - a bit like Eponine :grin:


For me:

Hemlock (if it wasn’t associated too much with poison)
Rumour
Tuna (I know it is used as a name though)
Gadget
Navy (sound wise)

There was a girl in my baby group about 10 years ago who called her daughter Rumour, also you have [name_f]Rumer[/name_f] [name_m]Willis[/name_m] (I used to think her name was pronounced like [name_u]Drummer[/name_u] but without the D)
