>Names you loveI've loved the name Youri for a boy ever since I saw the famous pic of Youri Gagarine in his space suit with his big smile. I like Milan because of Milan kundera and Milan Rastislav Štefánik (I legit fel in love with his statue when I visited prague). I like the name Antoine because it's the name of one of my first crush and of Antoine de St exupery.
Hugo, Alexandre, Guillaume.
For girls I love Lou because of Lou Andrea Salome, but it's so stupidly popular in my country (along with Louise) that I wouldn't name my own child like that. I also like Colette, for the writer but everybody makes fun of me when I say I would like to name my kid like that, it does sounds like a granny's name so I get it, kek. I also really love Paloma, it means Dove in Spanish and it's the name Picasso gave to his daughter. I like Misia too.
>Guilty pleasure namesMy guilty pleasure name is Rocco, for me it's the name of the angelic character from the movie Rocco and his brothers (everybody would want him as their son) for most other people it's the name of a big dicked pornstar.
For girls anything too flowery or cutesy, like Celeste, Colombe (ironic since it's french for Dove/Paloma), Fleur, Rose.

My surname begins with O'R, which makes a lot of otherwise lovely names sound incredibly awkward, so I have to work around that.
Currently I love Aine, Daria, Janna, Rory, and Willow (along with Frances and Jean, the names of my great-aunt and grandmother, which I decided on for middle names - I intend to adopt two girls). My grandmother, mother, stepmother, and both of my sisters have J names so I feel like I'll end up with J names too somehow.
Thanks to babycenter-type parents I have a newfound hatred for -en and -eigh names.
I love names like Artemis, Cassandra, and Persephone, but my surname's going to be awkward enough for these poor hypothetical children without an odd first name before it.

Cool thread idea anon!
>Names I like
For girls, I've always liked Naomi, Phoebe, Paige, Sophie, Leela and Abigail, mostly for how they look written down. I also like classy sounding names like Vera, and unisex names like Billie or Jamie.
For boys, I have a weird soft spot for them ending with H, so things like Noah or Elijah. I also like Elliot, Adrien, Isaac, Patrick and Jacob.
>Names I dislike
Names that sound much better as last names, like Jackson or Mason. And especially Carter, like I cannot imagine anyone having that as a first name, it's just too unusual. Names that have "Mc" in front of them, looks kinda ugly lol. Also names that are too common and sound a little plain like Sarah, John, Nick etc…I don't dislike them but I don't care for them.

My rules for naming kids are: 1. Give your kid the name you're gonna call them. No weird spellings, no names that are so long that the kid is forced to come up with a nickname to use for the rest of their life etc.
2. Give your kid a first name they don't have to be embarrassed by. Strange and unusual names can be second and third names.
That being said, I don't really have specific favorites. I do really like Swedish/Norwegian/Danish girls names like Ebba, Astrid, Ingrid or Alma.

I don’t like the most popular names where I live for boys (Jan, Jakub, and other sorta biblical names) but the ones for girls tend to be much nicer (Eliška, Tereza, Adéla)
For guilty pleasure names, I love flower/nature names in English like Chrysanthemum, Willow, Rose, Lily, etc. and names from mythology. I don’t want to have children, but thankfully it’s not weird to name an animal something like Artemis.
No. 95038
>Names you love
My bf's name and his sister's are both nature-related and I really like that, so we've discussed keeping with that theme when we have children of our own. I like Willow for a girl, and we both think Lief/Leaf is cute for a boy esp. given my bf's first name. He likes Rose but I think it sounds old and is a "filler" middle name more often than not.
Outside of nature names, I adore names that start with L for some reason. Lawrence and Luca are a couple of my favorites.
>Names you hate
This isn't a common name but my best friend named her firstborn daughter Rebel. I hate it. It sounds like a dog's name to me. Ben, John, etc. are all too common. Julie grates on my nerves, as does Sally, Tammy, and pretty much every other white suburban mom name.
>"Guilty pleasure" names (names that you like, but wouldn't name your child)
My best friend jokingly threw the name Sprout out there when I told her about the nature names theme and I don't hate it, but I'd never name my kid that. Eloise is pretty, but also sounds like an old lady name. Anne is also pretty, but all too common. I like country/state names like Dakota, Carolina, India, etc. but not for my kids.

My family has a really long tradition of using names that are either Latin, Gaelic, or Norse so I'm not sure how I'm going to name my kids without them coming off as autistic for the rest of their lives. Marcus is a nice one for a boy, I suppose Finn would also do the trick. As for girls, all I've really got is Astrid, but I'd also say that Claudia is alright, too.
I could do much worse, I have an Indulf in my family tree ffs. Also it's fucking terrifying that Sebastian is so high up on that list. I fear for our future.

I have a niece named Ingrid (she has an identical twin named Penelope), and my family took a while to warm up to it so i’m glad to see some love for the name.
Anyways, for boys my favs are- Broderick, Felix, Gideon, Henry, Holden (my absolute favorite and is defs because of the catcher in the rye), and Vincent.
For girls- Avery, Adelaide, Daphne, Erica, Judith, January, Kiana, Maeve, Naomi, Ophelia, Patricia, Persephone, Prudence, and Phoebe.
For some of the names I’d probs call them by nicknames like Broderick= Dirk or Ricky, Kiana= Kiki, Patricia= Tricia, Persephone= sephie, etc. I also do not want to ever change my last name and I want to give it to my kids, because I weirdly really identify with my last name and there are no boys in my family to pass it down so I feel the need to. And I want my kids to have the same
one as me so either my future wife/husband
can change theirs or be chill with having a different one.
I really dislike common names so much I could never imagine naming my kid something even if the top one hundred. Not to be a special snowflake I just think they are really boring and uninspired and I don’t want my kid to have a bunch of classmates with same name as them.

>>98926>>98933>>98929Eh it's worth a shot. Names have to come from
somewhere and new names do enter the name pool all the time (usually from popular media).

Let's see how popular Kylo and Daenerys get to be in the future. My current favorite 'made up name' that is getting to be popular is Galilea, which comes from a Spanish language broadcasting personality.

Personally like Roselise best but I've got a thing about saddling girls with hyperfeminine names, what if they turn out to tomboys stuck with names like Isabella Sofia? I wouldn't give any potential female children names that were too feminine without also giving them a unisex name or potential for a unisex nickname. And since I speak Spanish the names have to sound good in two languages. Since you're French you might not be aware but in the US currently 'granny' names are pretty popular, we've got tons of little kids who show up to promotions we run at work and old fashioned names are everywhere on these kids.

>>99417Where are you from? Some of your "weird" names are actually really normal, especially Ian, Hope and Vincent. Nobody would bat an eye at those in the USA.
A lot of names I love are nature based, which can come across as ridiculous, but they can be traditional so that kind of helps? Namely botanical names and the like (Rose, Lily, Hazel, Ash, Rowan).
My guilty pleasure names are ancient Greek names, which I'd never use (except maybe for a pet) but like anyway: Ares, Andronikos, Gaios, etc.

Hear me out, I never watched the cartoon but the name has stuck with me. I don't think she'll get bullied since the show aired 21-23 years ago and most kids her age wouldn't know about the cartoon, and by the time that she's an adult, the only people who'll know about the Pepper Ann cartoon would probably be aside from some 50-year-old millennials

I love a variation of my birth name is on so many hate lists. I hate it too. It's fucking Kayla. I knew even as a kid it was instantly going to get dated past a certain point and become and "old lady" name like Nancy. It's short, rhymes with a gazillion other names, starts with a K, and is faux "Celtic." It's so white trash to me, but not nearly as bad as poorly spelled, overused shit like kayleeigh. I tell people my name short for is Michaela, and I intentionally annunciate the "ch" like the Jewish "chai," which is how that name is supposed to be pronounced in the first place. It's beautiful when using certain European or Yiddish/Israeli inflictions. "Muh-KAY-Luh" Yuck, I imagine a 2012 Redditor tipping their fedora. What's worse is sharing this trailer park name with 20 girls, not including Kaylee, Kaitie, Kate, Kaitlynnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Lee Renee, Layla, Shayla, Ayla, McKayla, Chaela, and the boys named Caleb (that still sounds like Kayla on a roll call).

Can anyone suggest a more conventional name that would have similarities to Acadia?

Sorry you've had so much trouble with your name, I think I will stick with generational names (or derivatives of them) because at least people will be able to pronounce it.
>>302153Valentina is such a cute name, it's a character from my favorite movie too! Don't see it much around here. I never thought about name changes but I can see that, I think I'll likely go with the old (not modern) German names of my grandparents though just to avoid confusion.

Ever since I read A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett I fell in love with the name Ermengarde. I think it sounds beautiful rolling off the tongue, and I imagine a lovely noblewoman in the 1200s walking in her castle garden among the rosebushes.
But I will probably never name my child this because I'd fear them getting bullied. Some names are just too outlandish/ancient to use for a child IMO.

I like the name "Josephine." There's so many ways one can make nicknames out of it. Jo, Josie… That's it but still. My name has no nicknames, it saddens me sometimes. Not planning on having kids though.
>>312820Susanna is a good name. Not great, but solid. I like Suzanne more but it essentially is the same name. I think people don't like it because in the US it may be associated with Southern bigotry by people not in the south who don't know better (also misogyny but that's a given). If you were to name your kid that, that would be a good name.

The only two "normal" male names I like are Andrei and Konstantin, I'm probably forgetting something. I mostly like names that'd be more suitable for medieval monks.
I also really like Finnish names.
I dislike:
Olga but I really like Helga though. I'm not talking about Pataki family kek, although this would still be true. I also don't like male name Oleg.
Larisa
Galina
Gleb, but it's so weird I kinda like it too. I'd befriend or date Gleb.
Lev or Leo, I just don't like it as a name. It's not because of Tolstoy. Other names starting with Leo too, like Leontii, Leopold, Leonid.
Maxim, and all Maxims I knew personally were annoying af or sucked big time
Tbh I hate the way a lot of male Slavic names sound in their shorter form. At the same time, I might like the full form or just don't mind it.

Modern abominations in general
Ugly last names as first names (Murphy, Sutton, Brooks, etc.)

I love old fashioned names, the more archaic, the better. If I had kids they'd be called grandparent names like Waldemar, Alfred, Ida or Hildegarda. Names I wouldn't use include ones that are far too archaic and never found in modern use, because the kids might get bullied. I knew this Polish kid with a medieval ass name, but he lived in the west where nobody knew the name is out of use, so his parents got away with it.
It bugs me when it when western people use Slav male names for girls, like Nikita, Nikola, Sasha (this one is short for Alexander), etc. They do sound pretty and feminine out of context, but I grew up around Russians and had a sort-of brother figure with one of these names. So it is funny to me. Maybe it's unisex and I'm mad for no reason. I don't know. Seeing a girl named Sasha to me is like seeing a girl named John.
Alternatively I despise non-anglos with anglo names. So many Kevins, Jessicas and Justins here, with non-anglo surnames to add contrast. Unless they emigrated to the west and attempted to assymilate there, it usually is some weird status thing. It's exoticism, western-asskissing, and trying to pose as international.
I also dislike it when people give the shortened form of a name as the full legal name. Max instead of Maximillian, Alfie for Alfred, Nina for Antonina…

>>360275I changed my first name because it was ugly. Everyone in my family gave me a lot of shit for it because how could I, they picked it out for me, why don't I like it? They still call me by my old name at home even though it's been years. I didn't even pick out anything outrageous, just a regular degular name that exists in my native country as well as most places in the world in some form, think Jane. I was just tired of having a weird ugly name my whole life.
For reference I am British but was given a very ugly foreign name as my parents are immigrants. I don't know a single person with my name, even in my country of origin, that doesn't go by a nickname.

>>360275I know fathers usually hate it if you get rid of their surname. Personally, i'd never say about it to my family, they take it prsonally and rarely understand.
>>360282They'd probably hate it less if you chose another name from your country instead of usual british one. But it's a good choice, really, to not stick out too much.

>>360060>Waldemar, Alfred, Ida or HildegardaThese are good except Waldemar, which is a good name for a dog (Waldi, for short). You should read medieval saints' lives, you'll get a lot of good names from there.

>>360282>>360284ayrt and yeah I hear that families being upset is a common experience. I'm actually a bit unsure if that would happen to me. I think they'd be confused mostly, but not angry? I don't think they put much effort into naming me to begin with. They let my sister pick my name and she named me after the road we lived on lmao, thankfully the street was named after a woman but it doesn't seem like anyone with that name is famous so I assume it's some random local lady. My family doesn't really call me by my name either but an arbitrary nickname of unknown origin. In retrospect this is all kinda weird and maybe part of the root of my issues with my name.
Sometimes I consider editing my name when I get married someday, then I'd have an excuse to change my surname and I could add in a middle name as a sneaky extra.
>>360301we have similar taste!
I already have associations for Zelda so I could never use it in any way, but I love the letter Z so I wish there were more options. Zinnia is taken by someone too and there's not much else to pick from that wouldn't sound prohibitively exotic
No. 360498
>>360320ayart You're right about Medieval saints (and kings), I took Hildegarda from Hildegard of Bingen, and Alfred from Alfred the Great. kek
Waldemar is still a pretty common name where I'm from, but among old people.
>>360282It bugs me when immigrants take their children to a foreign country, and then complain when the children (naturally) crave to fit in and be "normal" to the place they grew up in. It's part of natural human instinct to want to fit in.

>>360060>I love old fashioned names, the more archaic, the better. If I had kids they'd be called grandparent names like Waldemar, Alfred, Ida or Hildegarda.Tfw some of those are just common names in your country lol it' also known here that names go in cycles, so it's expected that the current "grandparent" names will be popular again in a decade or two
I don't "hate" any name per se, but I hate when people here try to give their kids international (read: american) names that don't make sense here. I obviously can't speak for americans but I would think even them find it boring to meet a native person from another culture… with a basic ass american name. If you met 2 people from Japan, one was named David and the other Hiroshi, then the latter just seem more interesting and you'd expect the first one to be half-american or something. It's the same for all cultures imo. It's especially retarded here when they give them a name that already has a local variant, like calling them Sarah instead of just the usual Sara.

>Guilty pleasure names
Gemstones, opal, emerald, ruby, too close to stripper names but still beautiful. Greek mythology names. The name "Shen". I don't know why I like that one so much but my nigel is Asian and giving a child a Chinese name would only hinder them I think, so we've agreed to stick to Chinese names as middle names only.
Roast my names if you please, if I need to be kept in check I would rather it happen now than before I've stuck my child with a terrible name.
