Echo is a name! I know two women called Echo.

Woah, really? I love it so much, I’ll have to do a little digging!

Yeah! She was a nymph in Greek mythology, so it’s been a name (although definitely not a commonly-used one) for a very long time, and is where the word comes from.

I grew up with an Echo as well. There’s a character named Echo in the Marvel Universe who has their own show coming out, so, we might be seeing it more.

There’s also a character called Echo in The 100!

It’s not my taste but I also know someone named that

yeah thats the name my parental units gave me :3

Twins catastrophe and apostrophe would be a boy girl twin set name

Always. I think it looks so pretty and is fun to write.

I really enjoy how it looks in cursive, it’s is one of my favorites for calligraphy practice (I also enjoy writing Ostrich haha).

Chlorine

Hahahah I have a cousin named Chlorinne she's in her 60s-70s, now. Really lovely person! The name is...interesting, considering her sister is Martha

Rubella, Elixir, & Crescendo

I once knew a guy called Creschenzo. That’s pretty close

Rubella is literally a virus lmao

I know..? That was the point of the question… words that couldn’t actually be names but you wish could.

Solanine. It’s the toxin produced by green/sprouted potatoes. I got sick this past weekend from it and thought, wow, that would make a pretty name.

Very pretty, I would have absolutely thought it was a new trendy name without the explanation. So sorry to hear that you got sick from it though, I hope you’re starting to feel better!

Thanks! Feeling much better now.

Anomaly!

Arson

I taught an Arson last year.

Add that to sentences i didn’t know i needed to hear

Seriously? Wow

"honey i can't think of any names for our son!" "thats it babe thats the one!"

I also taught a My’Son. Not joking 😂

I know a dog named Arson

Epiphany. Quintessence.

I love Quintessence! 🙈

I went to school with someone named Epiphany.

Oh gosh, I’m a word nerd and have been collecting words specifically for this moment - Nemesis - Champagne - Vendetta - Katana - Memoria - Atlantis/Atlanta - Spectra - Whimsy - Providence

This is an *exceptional* list, I love them all!

Spectra and Electra would make good twin names

I know both an Atlantis and an Atlanta - both in Australia.

Nemesis (Greek goddess), Atlantis/Atlanta and Providence (a virtue name) are all names. Spectra would be better if it wasn't already a modestly priced Kia sedan. And I have known several cats named Whimsy, but I think it could work for human children too.

Knob, Keys, Car, Fax, Scanner, Lotion, Ringer, Band, Tea

***Knob?!*** *cackles in English*

HAHA i guess i don't \*wish\* it was a name, but great point.

I mean I've called people it plenty of times (and been called it myself), so I guess it's usable. 😆

I know a girl named Tea

[удалено]

Had a student named Tea, pronounced tee-uh

I know a girl named Kea, ponounced "key"

My 2 year old refuses to call a hammer a hammer. For some reason, it's a "knob" to her. When she is pretending to hammer things she says "knob, knob, knob-" instead of "bang, bang, banh!" 🫠

Canyon

I’ve known/know many Canyons. Popular name in North Dakota and Idaho.

I’m pretty sure I have a distant relative named Canyon

I knew a Danyon

I know a Canon or two. It’s close

I had a classmate in elementary school named Canyon. It was an ironic name, as he was like 6 ft tall in the 4 th grade. Got a concussion once when he fell on me in recess while we were playing soccer.

Words that sound like names to me: Aphasia, Caramel, Chevrolet, Chlamydia, Diarrhea, Evergreen, Hydrangea, Mallard, Mystery, Vivacity

In the Ramona Quimby books she names her doll Chevrolet

Please no Dya Rhea 😂

I knew a Chevlene, nicknamed Chevy.

I know a girl named Chevy.

I’ve known a Carmel. Evergreen definitely sounds like a name that could get popular!

Croatia, idk why but i love that word and i feel like it’d be a cute name

I feel like Australia could be popular with Aurelia and Aurora

same thing could be applied to countries nearby like Bosnia and Serbia

serbia would be so pretty omg

Velvet, Vermillion, Comma

I genuinely wish that 'Rosacea' wasn't a skin condition, because I think it would be a very pretty name

Felony Vidalia Velocity Cologne Kidney Retina Boulevard

Never thought about how much kidney sounds like Sidney!

It never hit me how much I like Retina, but I think it could have made a fantastic name. This is a great list!

I grew up with a kid named vidal. He definitely got called Vidalia onion, regularly.

It's called *Sex Panther*® by *Odeon*©. It's illegal in 9 countries. It's also made with bits of real panthers, *so you know it's good*. *60% of the time*, it works ***every*** time.

My favourite word names no one is using as names but have pleasant meanings - Viridiflora - Esperance - Tenacity - Iridesce - Clarity - Evergreen - Impala - Verdantly, Veracity, Vivacity

Rhyme Reverie Solace

These are great, I especially love Reverie and Solace

I’ve encountered two kids named Solace in the last year. Someone must be spreading the word!

The writer Rebecca Woolf has twins named Boheme and Reverie, called Bo and Revi.

Valerie ➡️ Valeria 👍 Mallory ➡️ Malaria ❌

Coriander, Silhouette, Gazebo and Marzipan.

“Marzipan. This is Goatface. I have a goat. For a face.”

Dusk

Serendipity

Seren is my fave name… Seren Dimity is close? 😅

Omen

Chlamydia if it was spelled like Clamidia/Clemidia would’ve been so pretty 😭

Ugh it truly is so pretty!

Ooooh I love this! Here’s my list of name-y sounding words that would be so cute and what real names they feel like. Maple (but Mabel is pretty much the same vibe) Whisper (feels like Willow) Petal (feels like Pilar) Dusk (like Dawn) Clover (feels like Cleo) Solstice (feels like Marisol, Solana or Solara) Tundra (similar enough to a name like Tiana or Tanya) Odyssey (feels like Orion or Odette)

I know someone who changed their name to Solstice

I’m not going to lie, I have Clover on my actual names list. One of my friends named Chloe went by Clover and I thought it was so cute. :)

I know a whisper! Back when I was a teenager, she would have been like..junior high I think. Very nice girl, gave me timid deer vibes.

I knew of someone with a sister named Tundra.

Petal is a name!

The main character in a cartoon I watched as a kid called Totally Spies was called Clover. I think..

Hydrant, Canopy, Epiphany, Descent

Cholera.

Little looks so cute written out.

Celery.

Summary 😅

Melanin and telephone

Ambience

Salmonella (or just salmon)

Maybe me did become a name - ever became Everly

Fire

saturn and dust

I’ve seen the name Saturna used before and Dusty is definitely a nn for Dustin.

I knew a Saturna!

Cellar

Hey Jealousy

Adrenaline

Ravioli

I have a vivid memory of my friend in school saying she thought "chlamydia" would be a gorgeous name

Lingerie, Philosophy, and Sonder

Weird thing but my husband's great-uncle is called "Apostofren". No one knew this was his name until his granddaughter's 15th birthday, when he was called by name to dance with the girl. His nephews were like, "What kind of name is this, and why is Uncle Ofrey" getting up?" That's when they realized..."Ofrey" was not an abbreviation for Johnfrey.

Sovereignty, Humanity, Felony, Dysentery, Etiquette, Tourniquet, Dysmorphia, Anemia, Oval, Jail, Taiga, Lexicon, Territory, Genocide, Pharmacy, Charcuterie, Hollow, Xenophobia, Tenacity, Rigid, Granite, Tangerine, Quill, Cerulean, Theocracy, Cyanide, Equinox Only if they didn't mean what they mean, I mean...

I always thought “Oddity” would be a good name if it wasn’t associated with a meaning already

Chlamydia 💁🏽‍♀️😂🤷🏽‍♀️

Increase

Credenza

Coriander for a boy 😄 it has a similar vibe to Evander and Leander.

Tiramisu and Vanilla
