Name Thread

Post anything about baby names! Names you're considering, names you've decided, names you want opinions about, etc

Re: Name Thread

  • Oof names are a tough subject for my family! I have like 9-10 names that I love (think old and “traditional”) and my husband hates them all. We have tried Name Genius and BabyName but nothing has really stuck.  Last time we agreed on only one boy name and we thought girl names would be easier.  Definitely not the case! Anyone that has any better ways to try to find names we both like I’m all ears! 

    The only name we both liked was Olivia- but it’s like the most popular name or in the top 10 for the past few years and we don’t want her to be the second or third Olivia in her class.

  • Kind of weird suggestion, but you could try ChatGPT. You can give it parameters like "give me 30 names that are similar in style to Olivia but are less used currently and matches siblings names of XYZ" you could even give specific syllable numbers or something. This is what it gave me initially:

    Here are 30 girl names that share a similar style to Olivia (classic, elegant, and timeless) but are less commonly used in the U.S. today:

    1. Amelia
    2. Aurora
    3. Clara
    4. Isabella
    5. Adelaide
    6. Vivienne
    7. Seraphina
    8. Eloise
    9. Georgia
    10. Beatrice
    11. Eliza
    12. Emmeline
    13. Arabella
    14. Lillian
    15. Cecelia
    16. Madeleine
    17. Penelope
    18. Juliette
    19. Evangeline
    20. Anastasia
    21. Isadora
    22. Felicity
    23. Matilda
    24. Cecilia
    25. Viviana
    26. Mariana
    27. Helena
    28. Lucia
    29. Francesca
    30. Rosalind

    These names capture a refined, classic feel but are less widely used than Olivia, making them stand out with a touch of elegance.

  • We decided on a name today and I'm really excited about it. I've been imagining using this name for over 5 years. It was one of the reasons for my gender disappointment with my son (although I just love his name now too lol). 
    We've decided on Magnolia 🩷
  • Aw I love Magnolia. We have a little Magnolia in our neighborhood (also goes by Maggie) and she's the best
