If you had to name your child(ren) based off of your favorite musician(s) what would you pick?
I think I’d go with [name_u]Robin[/name_u] [name_u]Frost[/name_u], [name_u]Juno[/name_u] [name_u]Blue[/name_u], and [name_u]Kai[/name_u] [name_f]Moa[/name_f], all inspired by my favorite band Tomorrow X Together ![]()
Frederick “Freddie” for Queen: Freddie for Freddie Mercury
Lydia “Liddy” for TV Girl: Liddy for the song Cigarettes Out the Window
Starla or Carmen for Lana Del Ray: Starla for the song Stargirl Interlude and Carmen for the song Carmen
Rhiannon or Stevie for Fleetwood Mac: Rhiannon for the song and Stevie for Stevie Nicks
[name_f]Loretta[/name_f] for [name_f]Loretta[/name_f] [name_u]Lynn[/name_u]
[name_u]Holly[/name_u] for [name_u]Holly[/name_u] [name_m]Dunn[/name_m]
[name_u]Presley[/name_u] for [name_m]Elvis[/name_m] [name_u]Presley[/name_u]
[name_u]Timothy[/name_u] for [name_m]Tim[/name_m] McGraw
[name_m]Kenneth[/name_m] for [name_m]Kenny[/name_m] [name_u]Chesney[/name_u]
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m] for [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] [name_u]Gill[/name_u]
[name_f]Naomi[/name_f] for [name_f]Naomi[/name_f] [name_m]Judd[/name_m]
[name_f]Crystal[/name_f] for [name_f]Crystal[/name_f] [name_f]Gayle[/name_f]
[name_u]June[/name_u] for [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_u]Carter[/name_u] [name_m]Cash[/name_m]
Maybe…
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] [name_u]Florence[/name_u] or [name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_f]Leontine[/name_f] for [name_u]Florence[/name_u] and The Machine
[name_f]Annmarie[/name_f], [name_u]Orion[/name_u], [name_u]Willie[/name_u], [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m], [name_m]Geordie[/name_m], & [name_u]Clyde[/name_u] after [name_f]Anaïs[/name_f] [name_m]Mitchell[/name_m] songs
[name_u]Winter[/name_u], [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Alice[/name_f], & [name_u]June[/name_u] after AJR songs
[name_f]Emily[/name_f], [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f], & [name_f]Anji[/name_f], after [name_m]Simon[/name_m] & Garfunkel songs
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m], [name_f]Glory[/name_f], [name_u]Elijah[/name_u], [name_f]Remember[/name_f], & [name_f]Hope[/name_f] after Lost and Found songs
This was a lot harder than I initially thought but possibly:
[name_f]Tayla[/name_f] [name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u] for a girl (inspired by [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] [name_m]Swift[/name_m] & [name_f]Ariana[/name_f] Grande)
[name_u]Taylor[/name_u] [name_m]Brendon[/name_m] for a boy (inspired by [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] [name_m]Swift[/name_m] & [name_m]Brendon[/name_m] Urie/Panic!)
[name_u]Or[/name_u] maybe something like [name_u]Raven[/name_u] [name_f]Elswyth[/name_f] [name_f]Mali[/name_f] or [name_m]Radley[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u] [name_m]Macsen[/name_m] (initials inspired by the [name_f]Ariana[/name_f] [name_f]Grande[/name_f] song, R.E.M.), using names from my current lists.
I have Leontine on my list after Florence & the Machine! And Marion very loosely honors Lana del Rey (Mariner’s Apartment Complex), Weyes Blood (real name Natalie Mering), & Marika Hackman ![]()
Maybe also:
Elspeth after Lana del Rey (Elizabeth Grant)
Josephine after Joni Mitchell
Sasha after Alexandra Savior (or Frankie after one of her songs)
Aura after Aurora Aksnes
Andromeda after a Weyes Blood song
Fun question!
Most of these are more inspired than a direct connection
[name_m]Des[/name_m] Rocs~
[name_u]Rocco[/name_u] [name_f]Paloma[/name_f] (singer is [name_u]Daniel[/name_u] Rocco)
[name_f]Ruzena[/name_f] [name_u]Amor[/name_u] (Ruzena is after the song ‘Ruby with the Sharpest Lies’
Wayra Luno (Wayra is after the song ‘Wayne’)
[name_u]Miko[/name_u] [name_u]Rivera[/name_u] (Miko is after the song MMC, which is an abbreviation for [name_u]Mickey[/name_u] Mouse Club)
[name_f]My[/name_f] Chemical Romance~
Hela Juturna (Hela emphasized text after the song ‘Helena’)
Nanaea [name_u]Sol[/name_u] (Nanaea after the song ‘Na Na Na’)
[name_u]Kai[/name_u] [name_m]Anubis[/name_m] (Kai is a variant of [name_m]Gerard[/name_m], after the singer [name_m]Gerard[/name_m] Way)
Hantsa [name_m]Galileo[/name_m] (Hantsa means ‘to sing’ after the song ‘Sing’)
I would choose [name_f]Fatima[/name_f] [name_f]Kaija[/name_f] Rosamar ![]()
[name_f]Fatima[/name_f] is the given name of my favorite singer Umm Kulthum.
[name_f]Kaija[/name_f] is for [name_f]Kate[/name_f] [name_m]Bush[/name_m] (both are diminutives of Catherine), Tchaikovsky (both with a meaning “seagull”), and [name_f]Kaija[/name_f] Saariaho.
Rosamar is for [name_f]Pink[/name_f] [name_u]Floyd[/name_u] (rosa) and [name_u]Maria[/name_u] [name_f]Callas[/name_f] and Tchaikovsky (Már has a “seagull” meaning too)
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] after the Lumineers song [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] and the band 5 Seconds of [name_f]Summer[/name_f]
Fun idea! I happen to love a lot of the romantic, European names of my favorite musicians. So, I’ll say [name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_m]Antonin[/name_m] (for Mendelssohn & Dvorak) & [name_f]Petra[/name_f] [name_f]Luciana[/name_f] (for Tchaikovsky & Pavarotti — feminizing their first names, of course).
Trustin Scott & Daemon Aristos
(Scott for Scott Mescudi aka Kid Cudi & Scott Arceneaux aka Scrim) (Daemon for Daemien Gonzales) (Aristos for Aristos Petrou)
All great artists that saved my life 🫶🏻
Such a fun question!

for [name_m]Gilbert[/name_m] & [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u], [name_m]Don[/name_m] [name_u]Henley[/name_u] (Eagles), and [name_m]Fleet[/name_m] Foxes
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_m]Fleetwood[/name_m] Bellefleur ‘Rory’
for [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] [name_m]Swift[/name_m] because ‘Aurora’ is mentioned on [name_u]Snow[/name_u] on the [name_u]Beach[/name_u] and The Lakes, [name_m]Fleetwood[/name_m] is self explanatory, and La [name_f]Belle[/name_f] [name_f]Fleur[/name_f] Sauvage by [name_m]Lord[/name_m] Huron
maneskin are my idols! so maybe
damiano, thomas and victoria - all great names that could be perfectly acceptable where i live.
and also coraline! i really like this name + marlene is nice too, and i like it for marlene the hollywood actress, although the original version is marlena which i might also use because i like the name lena (or use lena on its own)
and elspeth and lana for lana del rey. elspeth is in my name list, too. i also like rey as a nn of something maybe?
though here where i live elspeth might be hard to spell. elisabeth would be an easier choice, but i LOVE elsie / elsa / elspeth!
