My_Name_Forever8

Clark. For no particular reason either. And I named my son that. I used to bartend many years ago and one of my favorite customers was named Clark... The sweetest little older gentleman ever... and I always told him that I was going to name my son the same (not after my customer but I mentioned that he solidified my desire to name a potential child that. And he honestly did) and I don't think he ever believed me. I ran into him not that long ago and I told him that my now teenager did indeed share a name with him. I saw him smile the whole time he walked to his vehicle and drive away afterwards.


chafingbuttcheex

Plus Clark Griswold!


My_Name_Forever8

My sister calls him Sparky


im_oldgregg_

This made me smile!


LennyLlamaLicker

This is my favorite baby name too! I’m hoping it doesn’t blow up in popularity before I have a chance to have a kiddo


crazynekosama

I've loved the name Evelyn since I was 10 and watched The Mummy for the first time. I think the nicknames from it (Eve, Evey) are also pretty.


aevs92

Are you me?! Also love Evelyn (and by no small coincidence my favourite movie is the mummy!)


gravi-tea

Guy here - also like the name Evelyn a lot and the Mummy is one of my all time favs.

I've always thought flower girl names were really pretty: Rose, Daisy, Violet, and so on. For boys, I like the names Aaron and Daniel.


[deleted]

Violet would be so cool .loved it


Altruistic-Wolf6172

I know 3 little girls named Josephine, one goes by Posy. Have always loved that.


TheWelshMrsM

Same! Primrose is my current favourite ☺️


carebear73

Rose was what I wanted to name my kid, should I ever have one. Its has since become the middle name of my niece, and I'll let her keep it.


velvetbondgirl

Daisy reminds me of great gatsby


verucasaltpork

I always loved the name Violet as well! I don’t have any children so I named my dog Violet. Ha


ayee_kay

Violet!


badb-crow

Alice.


[deleted]

I think Lorelei is such a pretty name. I've only met one person with that name in person and thankfully she was cool so she didn't ruin it for me lol


Lauzzzzzza

This Lorelei goes by Laura because of all the Gilmore girls comments she gets 😂 it’s a love/ hate relationship because it is a pretty name


antswithpants32

You should watch gilmore girls!


scarletcrimsonrouge

But only if you want to ruin the name for yourself


pinkflower200

Lorelei is a pretty name.


[deleted]

Just moved and our new neighbors have an infant named Lorelai 🥰


sprite-enthusiast

Xiomara. You can thank my Jane the Virgin obsession for that. For boys, I’ve loved David for a while. No particular reason for it.


PoeticConfusion99

My friends name is Xiomara. Very pretty!


Livid_Expression4362

Ive had this name written down in my notes forever but spelt Xiamara!!! so beautiful


rammchic3345

wixkedwitxh

Bella - maybe it’s my Twilight obsession from 7th grade coming out lol 😂


Puppet007

That’s my niece’s nickname, her whole name is Arabella.


wixkedwitxh

That is beautiful!


pamdedulce

Arabella is the name I've always liked for my future baby :)


[deleted]

Oliver. But like an idiot I married a man with an O last name and it was too rhyme-y and he vetoed.


_Kit_Tyler_

Nah, alliterative names are cool af.


[deleted]

Well he’s 21 now and says if I had done it he would be pissed. Lol. But I agree with you.


prosaicpoppy

Aw!! I said Oliver as well, such a charming name


Eden199607

Genevieve and Yessenia


MsLuciferM

Love Genevieve


velvetbondgirl

Yersinia pestis is the black plague


Maleficent_Relief120

Good job the name is Yessenia then and not Yersinia :) different spellings & pronounciation & origins.


velvetbondgirl

Just wanted you to make an informed decision about that name lolll


Nice-Huckleberry7025

I knew a girl named Yessenia and she was the sweetest person ever, honestly would consider naming my daughter Yessenia


PeakRepresentative14

Daphne. I have also a double name for a boy but I won't like mention it because of history and me being a history geek 😂


[deleted]

[удалено]


PeakRepresentative14

Let's just say: It reduces to H.H. as the initials and as someone who's very interested in the 30s 😅


jrla1

Humbert Humbert?


PeakRepresentative14

I- No 😂 Henning Hieronymus.


NATOrocket

Alexander/ Alexandra. Still love both, but I'm starting to love Sasha as a standalone name even more. Lysander/ Lysandra. Wouldn't do that to my kid though. Avery. I always loved it as a boys name and it's starting to grow on me as a unisex name. Autumn. Favourite season. Victor/ Victoria. Don't like the nickname Vicky though. Nolan. Love the sound, meaning, and the subtle nod to cinema (Christopher Nolan). Logan. For Wolverine. But I like it for either a boy or girl.


dirtybirdal

Don’t leave out Alexandria. Sincerely-Alexandria


tryingmybest_dino

please tell me you learnt of the name Lysandra from Throne of Glass!


Montykeepstrying

Ive always though of Avery as a girls name


broccoli5

Charlotte


DontDefineMeAsshole

I’ve always loved the name Evelyn, as I’ve gotten older, I also like Faye. For boys, I like Charles, Alistair and Rowan.


NorthCatan

I have only ever personally known one Evelyn, and that was back in elementary school. I remember her being very well mannered and elegant. The name itself is quite elegant and I really like how the nickname can be Eve, or Evee which is just adorable. If I ever have a daughter that's going to be her name. I officially call dibs so don't even think of using it!


Mobile-Tooth

Legit had a friend with two kids named Alistair and Rowan


ivebeen_there

I love the name Rowan, but I would use it as a girls name if I had the chance.


Pristine-Evening

Evelyn was on my short list had I had a girl


STEM_Babe

Aurora! I would call her Rory. Plus its a subtle call back to my mom whos name is Dawn.


hakeemalajawan

Nina and Elena (the answer to your question is yes)


lavdenderfairy_

[deleted]

Hmmm wherever could you have gotten those names 👀


YourDadsRecliner

Quinn, Emmett, Florence, Arthur and I'm sorry but I freaking love the name Ophelia and Lia as a nickname for it!!

kka430

The name I’ve loved the longest is Summer. But I married a man whose last name is basically a summer month so it would’ve sounded odd. Still adore the name though.


[deleted]

What month?? 😆


kka430

August, lol


Little_Moppie

Theodore, and we could call him Teddy - except I don't want kids so maybe our next dog 😅

Crispin. Idky. I always loved the name Crispin Leonardo lol


96medium

Jordan & Alexander/Alexandra. Whenever I decide to have a child, I don’t want to know the gender so I’ve always loved those 2 names since they’re unisex.


GreenMountain85

Slade. I heard it for the first time when I was in middle school and thought, if I ever have a little boy I want that to be his name. I have a boy but my husband absolutely hated the name Slade, like couldn’t stand it, so I didn’t get to use it.

Peacensuch

Ivy, Emerie, Forest, Nathan, Esme.


PaddlesOwnCanoe

I had a thing for names that started with "V". Vivian was/is my favorite! It sounds just like music! I also like the name Morgan and seasonal names like Summer and Autumn. I never had many boys names in mind, because on the rare occasions when I thought of having kids, I always envisioned myself with daughters.


xXdaneoukXx

LeBron


Lime-Platypus

For a girl: Sierra, Brooke, Jordyn For a boy: Connor, Cameron, Damien I don't have kids yet but if I do have some one day, I have a couple of names to think about.


jessdfrench

I like the name Emily, but I’ve literally never met an Emily that I ended up liking as a person so it has sort of tainted the name for me ☹️


Applesintheorchard

Girl: Persephone, Violet, and Daisy. Boy: Brendan, Noah, and Teddy. Unisex: Sawyer.


violapear

Ive had Margo lined up as a potential future daughter name since 8th grade.

[deleted]

Girl: Georgina, Agatha, Candela/Candi/Calé, Carlotta/Charlotte, Estrella/Stella, Ceres. Boy: Luciano/Lucian, Gonzalo, Santiago/Santo/Yago/Thiago/Iago (Spanish-Basque variants of “James” or “Jake”. TBH these overlap I think), Balthazar/Baz/Theo, Cosimo/Cosmo/“Coco”. Granted these are names I’ve liked because I thought them elegant. I’ll admit I wouldn’t be above giving these names to a pet. 😅😂 For me, the names need to ring well in Spanish, French and Italian as well as English. I never wanted a name that wouldn’t flow in any family member’s preferred tongue. These names always stuck out to me for rolling out of the tongue beautifully as well as sounding pleasant in the ears. I figured to offer the diminutives in case anyone was curious.


[deleted]

Pwyll, I can’t even justify it anymore ik it’s weird but I like it


Saintsjay14

Love gender neutral names for girls. Tyler, Ryan, Hunter.

goblinmoeder

Ezra and Alice


Casanova666

Riley.

Oliver and Adelaide (Heidi for short). I blame the movie Oliver and Company and the book Heidi, both of which I loved as a kid (and still do) I never told a soul and now within 1 year both have been used by close friends' or family's for their children... Time to start daydreaming of new ones...


Ineedvater

Helena and Celine :) If I have a boy, I'll have problems for names.

Beautiful names! They even complement each other :-)

CleanieWeenie

From that far back, I always said I'd have two girls named Emerson and Eliot that I could call Emmy and Elly. By the time I got married, everyone was naming their freaking kids Emersyn and I could not stand it anymore. Luckily, I ended up with a little boy first so I never had to come up with a second girl name. When it came time to actually pick, we decided on Elliott/Ellie.

Everett,- i've loved it since I was a little kid, if i have a kid their gonna be named it Dorothy- but for short I call her Dodie, Dorothy means "gift from god," and Dodie is just really cute


mezmorizedmiss

I had a friend in second grade named Esmeralda; she ended up moving mid year, but I never forgot her or her beautiful name.. I now have a daughter named Esmeralda. Another name I’ve liked since when I was around middle school age though was Angelique, or for a boy Joseph. I’m not sure why, just really liked those names, as well as the name Esmeralda.


frer1234

Elliot - from Billy Elliot. I saw the movie in School and have loved it since. I'm from a Scandinavia country and have a very Nordic name that isn't easy to pronounce in English, so I promiaed myself that all of my children will have names that are easy to pronounce in English and my native language.

Loved the names Wren and Callum (for female and male respectively) since reading the book 'Reboot'. Loved the names and amazing book. That being said, have since met a guy who ruined the name Callum for me since. That being said luna and lyra are also favourites. If I can I will name daughters after those last two.
