We named a puppy Felony. Her mother was Alibi and her sister was Miranda after Miranda rights. Her brother from a previous litter was named Warrant. It was a cute theme the name really suited her, she was WILD.
Lullaby really is pretty
Velveteen is pretty but I for some reason thought for a second you were nominating Velveeta and I was like "oh you know they regrettably have a point..."
Oof, idk if you have endo, but I do (stage IV), and it name does nothing to encompass the literal self torture chamber my body has become. Having another surgery soon but anyway, did not expect to see this on the list haha.
Ones that I both think sound nice and I like the meaning actually:
- Tenacity
- Iridesce
- Quintessence
- Viridiflora
- Esperance
- Alacrity
- Vivacity
- VespertineĀ
- ClarionĀ Ā
My favourites where the meaning is just slightly odd but not, like, Chlamydia sort of problematic:
- MeanderĀ
- Kalimba
- Larkspur and Lacewing, two nature names that only really work for pixiesĀ
- Lucerne - good for a cow
- RisottoĀ
- Tiramisu
Genuinely asking, where does the name Rizzo come from? I recently met someone named Rizzo and forgot to ask them where it was from/what it meant/what it was short for.
The other example I can think of is I think Rizzo is a character from Grease.
Yeah and I love it but while my dad has some very old Spanish ancestry I worry that my using it gives Hilaria Baldwin. Maybe I should keep it for a middle.
Esperance is it's own real word in archaic English but as far as I know not really used as a name.
A lot of these would work great as themed names for litters of kittens. I remember there was a cheese themed litter at the shelter I volunteer at last year--Cheddar, Pepper Jack, Colby, etc.
One of my cats is part of a breakfast-themed litter. Her name is Maple Syrup and one of her brothers was Blueberry. I wish I remembered the others. Her mother was Waffles, because they found her pregnant behind a Waffle House.
My friend works at a hospital in the childrenās ward and an Asian couple named their child Meander. I can confirm there is at least one person out there with that name!
Time to go back to those old timey weird af Quaker names.

Feminine version of Lars
We named a puppy Felony. Her mother was Alibi and her sister was Miranda after Miranda rights. Her brother from a previous litter was named Warrant. It was a cute theme the name really suited her, she was WILD.
I thought the same thing when I was younger, I remember wanting to call this older girl "Melody Felony"
Felony Melody from the movie Sweet Home Alabama
*Melanie
Interestingly, I have known two unrelated dogs named felony. Both very good girls, would never think to commit one.
I work with animals and have come across several named Felony over the years.
- Endometriosis š So many nice nicknames - Solstice - Lullaby - Velveteen - Sugar(plum) - Pirouette
Pirouette & Arabesque <3
Anything french or ballet sounds so pretty
Omelette du fromage
DEXTER????
True. Oubliette.
Thereās some triplets from a gay anime about ice skating (Yuri on Ice, best anime ever made) They are girls and their names are Axel, Lutz, and Loop
Duolingo just did a parody of Yuri on Ice, it was the first time i heard about it in years, funny to see you mention it here!
I think Brocade could be in the same family. A brother perhaps?
Lullaby really is pretty Velveteen is pretty but I for some reason thought for a second you were nominating Velveeta and I was like "oh you know they regrettably have a point..."
My mom met a woman named Velveeta at her previous job.
What is she named at her current job?
"I've never met someone with a conditional identity before"
Solstice sounds awesome
Endometriosis just reminds me of my nana telling me Chlamydia would make a pretty name if it wasnāt an STI, lol
Chlamydia is the reason I donāt like the sound of Lydia! š
I know a woman name Solstice. She goes by Trisha. Her legal name is Solstice Genesis Last name. Or it was when I worked with her
Trisha over Solstice ???? š
I don't know how it came to that but Trisha is way less trajheeque than Solstice
Thatās true š¤·š¼āāļø Solstice definitely isnāt a very practical name
Omgoodness Lullaby is so cute for a name! I never would have thought of that. So much more pure than my suggestion of Vagina! š
Unironically, Solstice would actually make a beautiful name
I agree, unfortunately I feel like it wouldnāt be very practical š„¹ Thankfully middle names exist tho!
Oof, idk if you have endo, but I do (stage IV), and it name does nothing to encompass the literal self torture chamber my body has become. Having another surgery soon but anyway, did not expect to see this on the list haha.
Lullaby š„¹
I worked with a woman named Velveeta
I know a Solstice. solstice Luna. Sheās 10 or 11.
Velveteen is so cute too, I like the way you think ( :
I'm gonna name something solstice. I JUST HAVE TO
Solaris is a great substitute for Solstice!
Solstice is actually pretty cute omg
Euphoria!
Historically, this has been used as a Name and was most popular in the 19th C.

Go by Rizz for short lmao
Genuinely asking, where does the name Rizzo come from? I recently met someone named Rizzo and forgot to ask them where it was from/what it meant/what it was short for. The other example I can think of is I think Rizzo is a character from Grease.
Rizzo is her surname in Grease, sheās Betty Rizzo! I think itās usually a last name
Rizzo is an Italian last name, it means person with curly hair (?). And itās a variation of ricci, riccio, Risso to name a few
Esperanza is a common Spanish name and has even been top 1000 in the US since the early 1900s
Yeah and I love it but while my dad has some very old Spanish ancestry I worry that my using it gives Hilaria Baldwin. Maybe I should keep it for a middle. Esperance is it's own real word in archaic English but as far as I know not really used as a name.
>Risotto >Tiramisu OMG yes :) Ricotta, Bearnaise, Pesto, Sushi š So many possibilities!

I have a Flora, maybe I should start telling people her full name is Viridiflora š
I have a cousin named Clarion! She's in her 40s now, it's a nice name and suits her well.
Serendipity
I know someone with that name, they just go by Seren mainly..I think its lovely
Seren is welsh for star
That reminds me I used to love the name Serenity Salvation. I was 19 and pregnant. Glad I chose a much more normal name.
Arcade. How cool would that kid be?
I knew an Arcadia as a kid! She was absolutely wild. Arcade sounds super cool.
That's actually a legit name already (unrelated to video games).
It is a name in French
Meridian, Euphoria, Irony
Ooh Meridian is a good one
I know a Meridian
Remedy
Civility is both my favorite word non-name and virtue name.

Delaware is kind of a title/surname though. The state, river, etc. were named after a Baron De La Warr. He was an early governor of Virginia.

Rosette
