You Favorite Made-Up Names!

Hiya! [name_m]Just[/name_m] like the title suggests! What are some of your favorite made up names? They can be names you or someone you know just made up on a whim, or names that were invented by an author or a celebrity.
[name_f]My[/name_f] absolute favorite is [name_f]Tacy[/name_f], from the book series [name_f]Betsy[/name_f]-[name_f]Tacy[/name_f]. It’s a nickname for [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] and I think it’s so cute!

my absolute favorite made up name is Eucalypta :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: I thought of it myself, although I’m sure someone’s thought of it before me. @MagnoliaE came up with Yishaiyit, which has to be my second favorite!

I actually know someone named [name_f]Tacie[/name_f]! [name_f]My[/name_f] favorites are Izalie, [name_f]Evolet[/name_f], and I think another berry came up with Everlise which I think is gorgeous. (Also Annevieve which I found on an old grave, so old but still made up)

I’ve noticed that I tend to like a name more if I find out it was originally made up by an author (like recently learning that [name_m]Cedric[/name_m] was invented by [name_m]Walter[/name_m] [name_u]Scott[/name_u] :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:).

I think my favourites though are any smoosh names with -beth. They just always feel like solid names but still sound fresh and exciting. Like the perfect mixture of modern and traditional. Today I’d go with Elvibeth or Maebeth.

A bunch of the -beth names: [name_f]Annabeth[/name_f], Evabeth, Ellabeth, Emmabeth, Jennabeth :smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts: Also, I just found last night a little boy on YouTube named Jerekaius, which is a names his parents made up and I actually think it’s kinda cool!

Mine is Mavelie! It’s pronounced mav-uh-lee, and I think I came up with it actually (if not, it’s probably really rare). I was watching a baby name Youtube video for background noise while I was working, and the woman said the name [name_f]Mabli[/name_f]. Since I wasn’t really paying attention, I thought she said Mavelie and wrote it down on my baby name list immediately!

I made up the name Auvyn (awe-vin) for a futuristic short story I wrote in the fifth grade, it’s not really my style now but I still love it nostalgically :grin:.

I adore [name_f]Esmarie[/name_f], “beloved drop of the sea” is such a beautiful meaning!
