I'm not pregnant, but I want opinions on a name anyway. Is Johann too dated of a name for a boy? Would a Johann get made fun of for any reason that anyone can think of?

I really like the name. I've liked it ever since I was in the third grade. I fell in love with the classical composer Johann Sebastian Bach as a kid. He was always my favorite.

I'm not naming anyone that now, so this is purely an opinion question. I welcome any thoughts anyone has. Please be honest with your opinions.

I’m having a boy in November so I’m definitely not stealing the name lol,
My friend just had her daughter and named her Helen Faye and I LOVE it. It’s so elegant and classic.
Just wanted to share bc I haven’t heard the name Helen in so long for a new baby.

I can only ever think of more common names starting with K is Kendall, Kenzie, Kevin etc. what unique names do you guys have, especially wondering if there are any good whimsical, nature-y sounding ones

Trigger Warning: Emotional abuse and addiction

Hey there. I’m currently writing a story, long story short, it‘s a metaphor for addiction. This character is a big metaphor for the effects addictions can have on people, and I want to give him a name that could somehow symbolize that. No specific way I have in mind for the connection, it can be obvious or subtle, it can be from literature or etymological, I just need ideas.

Thanks.

I generally hate most boy names, and even if I like one it doesn't feel like My son. Big sister's name is Athena Faye, and we were connected to her name and loved it immediately. I need help getting that same feeling again! My top names are Salem and Archie, but husband hates Archie. Middle name regardless would be Reid.

I’m changing my name for pronunciation reasons and I don’t like my name. I live in the US but I kinda want a name with German or Norwegian origins to feel more authentic to myself, it doesn’t have to be from there though. I want a name that’s cool but still mature enough for when I’m an adult. My options are

Aurora (nick name could be Rory)
Willa
Autumn
Sydney
Everly
Alice (kinda feels grandma to me, it’s not my favorite)
Liv

Also my middle name is Blake but I don’t mind if it doesn’t sound bad with the name. Out of my choices which one is the best?

Opinions on his name?

Thrilled but nervous to be having triplets! We are having 2 boys and a girl. We don’t want the names to rhyme or anything but we want them to flow nicely.

So far we have come up with
Asa, Ivy and Ellis.

Other than this we are completely open.

I heard it's a popular name in East countries , I love the sound , the flow and the vibe it gives

I've been liking the name Wellon Charles for my son due next month, but looking for opinions?? I also like Waylon Charles but not sure I like it as much but I feel blind to the names now since I've been thinking about them for so long.

I've also been thinking Wells could be used for short??

Edit: lots of hate but wanted to ask, is Wellan any better?

-Selene

-Marian

-Leona

-Jessie

-Vanna

-Greta

Baby Names

I have an English name Vicky.But I think it doesn’t suit to me.My mandarin name is jia yu.Do you have any recommendations for my English name?

Edit:thanks for everyone who answered my question and give me advices. I want to change my English just because it may needed in my university. And the reason why I don’t want to keep my mandarin name is because I think my name is a little bit hard to pronounced by people who don’t speak Mandarin. And also thanks for some people who remind me of keeping my name not to change my name for the native speakers, but I think if I heard some people pronounce my Mandarin name wrong. I think there will be a little bit embarrassed for me so that’s why I think I need to have an English name.

And for my English name, I would choose among Jade, Gia, or just keep my mandarin name!

My son will be born any day now and my husband and I are still unsure of the name. We have two options.

1. Carson James
2. James Allen

James was my late father’s name and we were extremely close. Everyone called him Jim. I don’t love the nickname Jim for my own son so would probably call him James. The Allen in James Allen holds a tradition in my husband’s family. Both my husbands middle name and his father’s middle name are Allen.
My husbands initials are CAR, so Carson means “son of Car” but also child of the marsh dwellers and we live in a swampy area. I also like that it’s less common than James. However, I don’t think it sounds as professional as James.
The Allen in James Allen holds a tradition in my husband’s family. Both my husbands middle name and his father’s middle name are Allen.

I’m so conflicted… what does everyone think?

So my second baby girl is due October 30th (hopefully 31st). I need help with a name! My first daughter is named Serenity Rose. I want something you don’t see everyday but kinda fits the October feel. My favorite names that my husband hasn’t agreed to are Scarlett, Delilah, and Lillian. Please help!! Give me your favorite names

the first name im pairing it with is salomé(saul-oh-may)which has a very lyrical french sound
im looking for a middle name that complements it and that feels lyrical, feminine, and graceful—something with a beautiful rhythm when spoken. for example i love the flow of “salomé andrea”(awn-drey-uh)

im drawn to middle names that are 3 syllables,vowel-rich and flowing.
names with the kind of cadence you’d imagine for a classic actress, singer, or literary character—something that feels almost musical.
appreciate any suggestions!♡

I’m moving to Europe soon for university, and I’m planning to use a preferred name instead of my birth name.
I chose Elena as my preferred name, and I’d love to hear your honest opinions about it. What kind of impression does this name give you? Does it feel like a good choice for someone starting a new chapter abroad?
I’m curious about how people from different backgrounds perceive the name Elena, so please share your thoughts!
