I just thought it would be cool to have a thread where people put out their long/short lists, either of your favorite names, potential future baby names, what you’re considering naming your baby, etc. You can include singular names, combos, all of that! What is your long list? What is your short list?
Favourites for girls are [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_f]Amelie[/name_f], [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]/[name_f]Juno[/name_f], [name_f]Olive[/name_f], [name_f]Iris[/name_f], [name_f]Freya[/name_f], [name_f]Margaux[/name_f], [name_f]India[/name_f], [name_f]Leni[/name_f], and [name_f]Edie[/name_f]. I will be using one of these for my daughter due in 8 weeks 
Favourite boys’ names are [name_u]Jude[/name_u], [name_m]Bastian[/name_m] (and [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]), [name_m]Atticus[/name_m], [name_u]Flynn[/name_u], [name_m]Elio[/name_m], [name_u]Claude[/name_u], [name_m]Magnus[/name_m], [name_m]Atlas[/name_m], and [name_m]Franklin[/name_m] (’[name_u]Franky[/name_u]’).
Favourites for girls are Adeena, [name_m]Eliyah[/name_m], [name_f]Lina[/name_f], [name_f]Kamila[/name_f], [name_f]Ayla[/name_f], Jovira, [name_f]Layla[/name_f]. Some favourites combinations are Jovira [name_f]Sana[/name_f], Adeena [name_f]Sarah[/name_f], [name_m]Eliyah[/name_m] [name_f]Lina[/name_f].
Favourites for boys are Salahan, [name_m]Yunus[/name_m], [name_u]Adel[/name_u], [name_u]Isra[/name_u], [name_m]Nadim[/name_m], [name_m]Zakaria[/name_m], Nayel, [name_m]Harris[/name_m] and [name_m]Rayan[/name_m].
Fun!
This is kind of tricky, because any actual babies that I’d name are hypothetical. I don’t plan on having children, yet I’m still very particular about only picking names that aren’t too popular, used by friends and family & sound good w/my last name.
Well, that being said…my short list of favorites that I’d use if there were at any point a real baby:
Girls-
[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f]
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f]
[name_f]Greta[/name_f] nn [name_f]Gerty[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] nn [name_f]Nellie[/name_f]-[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] is a little popular, but I don’t think that [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] is. And my great grandmother was just [name_f]Nellie[/name_f], but I love [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f].
And my long list of names that I love, but not quite as much:
[name_f]Adeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Esme[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Stella[/name_f]
Boys short list-
[name_m]Colm[/name_m]-[name_u]Evan[/name_u] though my last name starts w/an ‘M’…I just love this too much to pass.
[name_m]Ewan[/name_m]
[name_m]Julian[/name_m]-High on the SSA list, but I have yet to meet one.
[name_m]Nolan[/name_m]-Same as above.
[name_m]Long[/name_m] list-
[name_u]Elliott[/name_u]
[name_u]Finn[/name_u]
[name_u]Luca[/name_u]
[name_u]Max[/name_u]
[name_u]Shiloh[/name_u]
[name_m]Solomon[/name_m]/[name_m]Sol[/name_m]-This was [name_f]Nellie[/name_f]'s husband. . I think he was just [name_m]Sol[/name_m], actually.
Mine is…
