Katherine Jarrett I love acotar too, feyre means beautiful fairy or beautiful elf. Wouldn’t it be a beautiful name especially with gay and freya being so popular?
In the myth, Ariadne after being abandoned is later found by the god Dionysus and they get married. After her death he turns her crown (which he gifted her) into a constellation and also makes her immortal! 😊
Names based on stones, gems, and minerals really fascinate me. There’s Ruby, Jade, Opal, Slate, Topaz, Flint, and so much more. What do you think of this for the next list?
Gabrielle Connelly I think the names hope, harmony and serenity would be cute ones if you had a baby girl :) as she would bring all of those into your life
(Baby names not in the top 1000) After 5 years of infertility, we are finally pregnant after our first round of IVF and I am SSUUPPEERR struggling to find a name I love! I've been watching your videos for so long now (always was hopeful aha!) And I would love, love, LOVE to see a baby names/girl names not in the top UK 1000 (or at least 500) I'm so wanting a name that is not used often, but that people may still "know" of if that makes sense (my partner isn't as into the super unique names as I am) I just so desperately want to find something special, and not a name loads of children in their school year would have also xx IT'S JUST SO HARD! I highly doubt you'll see this, and I know there are many more popular videos choices people are after right now, I'm just struggling big time 🙈💕 xx (We don't know what we are having yet but I'm finding girls names soooooo much harder than boys!)
May Berry congratulations! Have you considered any of these names for your little boy/girl? (All outside top 500) -Karou (means hope) -Farida (means precious) -Nasia (means miracle) -Alaia (means joy) -Xiamara (also means joy) -Jerome (means sacred)
what about - Aida - Aminah - Cora/Kora - Janaya - Junaina - Noelle - Zara - Savannah I'm not sure what kinds of names you like, but I think these names are not too common or at least not anymore! Congratulations on your little bundle of joy x
@@SJ_Strum ah thank you so much! It is definitely hard! We do have a name we quite like for a boy that's ranked 3900+ in the UK which is a HUGE bonus for me - but still not 100% sure (even though it has been our top boy name for a while) but trying to find girls names is even harder and I have no idea how to find lists of baby names not in the top 1000! Xxx
When I was a 13/14 my number 1 baby girl name was Jupiter! Everyone thought I was nuts when I told them but now I feel validated after this video so thanks SJ!
A little correction - Persephone's mother, Demeter, wasn't Mother Earth. Demeter was the goddess of the harvest. Ge/Gaia is more commonly seen as Mother Earth; she is said to be the first being (if I remember correctly) and she birthed the Titans, and is the personification of the Earth. Her name seems to be where we get words like geography and geology, as well as her Roman name, Terra (terra firma, etc.?).
Baby name video of male and female equivalent names? An obvious example being George and Georgina but would be interesting to hear some more unusual ones? Theodore and Theodora, Ryan And Rhiann etc? Or less obviously connected ones such as Henry and Hattie for example
I study classics and am a big mythology enthusiast (particularly when it comes to Greek Mythology). I could go on about myths and heroes forever but i thought i would add some names to your list that are a little less known! Helios- the sun god and also where we get the word 'helium' is involved in some great myths! you could use the more wearable derivation 'Elio' which means the same thing and has a great 'o' ending. Pasiphae- one of helios' daughters who isnt the nicest lady but has a pretty phenominal name! Thalia- the funniest, friendliest of all the muses whose name means 'to flourish'. She supervised the comic arts and idyllic poetry. Electra- means 'shining bright' and is the daughter of Agamemnon who was the leader of the greek army in the Trojan war. :) xx
Pretty Please do a list of Viewers' Names! I know I keep asking for it but I'd really love to hear them, including my name if that's not too arrogant? I always love baby name Mondays, it's my favourite thing about Mondays!
Ceilidh is pronounced Kay-lee. I know it to be a very common Scottish dance event - e.g. you might go to a Christmas ceilidh where you do Scottish country dancing. I’ve not heard it as a name before but Eilidh is definitely very common which is pronounced in a similar way 😄
I’m actually obsessed with the names Freya and Artemis. And actually know an Artemis. I’m so in love with those names that I’m actually considering them for my future daughter.
I’ve always loved the meaning of my name but I’ve noticed it more and more especially with younger people than me❣️ I went to school with an echo who was a younger twin!! How cute People definitely found it strange at first but most loved it in the end🧚🏻♂️ Another beautiful list SJ!
I've loved your name for so long!! I feel like everyone thought it was strange 10 years ago and how its booming in popularity! 😩 I wanted it to stay more unique haha
Oh my Jared Leto 😍😍 Got to see 30 Seconds to Mars live a few years ago. Was amazing.!! I’m laughing at the name Echo.. I like it... but I’m from Cork, Ireland and it probably wouldn’t go down well here. We have a newspaper called The Evening Echo and in the city there’s a man that sits and shouts ECHO (selling the newspaper). He’s known as The Echo Man 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Persephone's mother was actually the goddess Demeter, NOT mother Earth Mother Earth was Gaia one of the Premordial Goddesses Demeter on the other hand was an Olympian Goddess (I"m Greek❤🇬🇷)
I love Nephele. I would use it for sure! (Actually, as a kid I wrote a story with a made-up named character called Nifily, which is may why I'm attracted to Nephele, haha).
I am 5 months pregnant with a baby boy n my son n his friends told me they had a baby name for me and it was "Loki". I love it🖤 just not sure what would be a good middle name would go good with it.
I adore the names Jupiter and Artemis for boys, great list! Some Irish mythological names I love are Morrigan for a girl and Lugh (pronounced Lu) for a boy x
Most of these god/goddesses names that come from Greek mythology are actually pretty common in Greece. It's funny how in some other countries they are considered really different and unique! 😊
I work in an elementary school so I here lots of names. I never realized until watching this how many of my students are named after God's and Goddess.
This list is so up my street🙌 my 18month old is Pandora and my husband and I have discussed Echo and Hector for any future siblings, so glad they made the list 🥰
I’d love to hear some celebrity surname baby names! My middle name is Gallagher (after Liam and Noel) and I get called ‘Gally’ a lot. My favourite boys name is Lennon, too! Musician surnames are so cool and some are quite common like Harrison. I love surname names so much! ♥️
I have almost always heard Melanie (Greek) as meaning darkness or dressed in black. Only once, many years ago I saw it in one baby name book described as an epithet for Demeter, the earth goddess of winter. I loved that and think that Demeter is a pretty cool mythical name.
Always love your lists!! I’d love to watch a video some how about middle names! Like how you pick them maybe? I think the middle spots can be harder than picking the first name! Also going off this.. maybe unique king and queen names throughout history? I love hearing the research you do behind each name!
The name Persephone to me means the reason for spring. I absolutely adore this name because I heard the story when I was really little and I literally said that I wanted to name my child this. Even though it is a bit dark Persephone is a name that means the reason for my spring and the reason that life goes on, at least to me.
Also, I think it’d be really cool to do a baby name list based off of American presidents, American First Ladies, American first children, American Congressmen and women, etc! I’m from the States- been watching Baby name Monday since day 1!
Love love Ariadne So beautiful it became popular here in the us because of a soap opera actress Have you done Hispanic baby girl /boy names yet? I’d looove to hear them
Italian baby names! My favorite Italian name is Violetta ( pronounced in Italian as V-oh-letta ) the American pronunciation where I’m from is Vi-oh-letta like violet. I love the Italian pronunciation and you could call her Letti just so cute.
I love love loooooove the name Artemis I just love it so much I don’t know why. I think it would be nice as a middle name, but I prefer it as a first name
So many great names! Thank you! My name is Gaia, the Greek goddess of the earth, so I’ve always wondered if I should carry on the tradition and give my future child a god/goddess name hehe 😊
I came on here looking for Ancient Greek names after falling in love with the name Ariadne, most notibly on BBC's Atlantis series. I was suprised to come here and it be the first name haha! I have always loved the name Echo. I will use it as a middle name I always thought, but it's hard because I have so many.
Echo is a pretty name but I’d be worried it would be sort of like an “Alexa” type of deal. My friend has an amazon echo and I feel like I’d always have “echo lamp on” in the back of my mind😂
A few of my favorites, I like Hermes, Apollo, and Zeus, for boys, for girls, I like Artemis, Athena, Hera, and THALIA. I think god and goddess names are the coolest ever! I wanted to give some of them to my children because I love names which are out of the box but still recognizable and usable. And maybe even classic. I’m actually planning to do that. I want to name my son Apollo, and I want to name my daughter THALIA because I love these names! They are gorgeous.
How about a list of names that are easily pronounced wrong? I’d love to see the alternatives of what people think the name sounds like to them (if that makes any sense!) 💛
I love Ariadne and Echo, I'm going to run these by my husband as potentials to add to our list! Persephone is very pretty too. Artemis is already on our list. Hector is the name of second of my two lost babies (the first is Fjord) ❤️ My friend had a baby about 7 months ago named Freya 😍
i love the name fenris for a boy. it’s a name from scandinavian mythology, and although not a god, he had the power to threaten them. which is admittedly a bit dark but it’s so gorgeous!
We are due a little boy at Christmas and are currently playing the name game 🙈 just wondered what people’s opinions of Alba is for a little boy? We want something unusual but not too way out there. What do you think? X
Ahhh I love it! It's like Archer, Albie but a bit special. It means 'fair' doesn't it - I've heard it on a little girl and think it works so well for each x
Alban is a french name for a boy (my brother’s name and I absolutely love it!) , Alba is such a beautiful name but usualy for a girl here (but it will a great name for a boy for sure!). 😉
Can I just say this is my favourite list of yours so far... So many beautiful unique names! Normally I'm not one for super weird names but these are so beautiful!!! Keep up the good work SJ! ❤
My husband wanted to use Persephone as a middle name...I told him no, for the reason that it is pretentious...and considering we've already got Nyx as a middle name(another Goddess name)I found it to be far too much!
I know I have seen comments that you pronounced Calliope correctly, however I did used to work with a Greek lady called Kalli whose full name was Kalliope - pronounced Kallie-O-Pea (rather than Call - eye -o-pea). Could be one of those names that has different pronunciations in different countries
You pronounced Calliope right! :) There was a character on Grey's Anatomy named Calliope and everyone called her Callie. There's also a blogger that always comes up on my instagram explore page and she has a little baby daughter named Echo and it's so cute.
My favourite list! Ariadne was on my list. As was Astrid (which I’ve mentioned a billion times😂 and Persephonie. Love Hector, and Odin. I love the name Echo. Bet that I’d get vitoed immediately by hubby.
Danaë is also a absolutly wonderful name! She was a greek princess and was so amazingly beautiful that Zeus really wanted to have a child with her. But Danaë father had gotten a prophecy that his grandchild would kill him. So he never let Danaë ungarded. Tho one day she was outside and Zeus just could not keep it in his pants. So he transformed into a shower of golden rain and made her pregnant, so she gave birth to the hero and demigod Perseus(great boy name, with nickname: Percy if you want to) who later was able to slay Medusa by the help of using his shield as a mirror. If u are unsure of how to express Danaë just search online. It is suuuper pretty!!
Areia is my favorite🌹 Did you know that Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love had a war goddess form? They called her Aphrodite Areia, Worshipped almost exclusively in Ancient Sparta where she reflected the kingdoms value of battle- it was a rare place where even women were encouraged to be warriors (all hands on deck here). Areia is so feminine but badass at the same time, unique but not unrecognizable. I love it.
My 15 year old son's name is Raiden from Japanese mythology being the God of Thunder and Lightning. The night he was born there was a huge thunder storm and as he was entering the world there was the biggest crack of thunder and the room lit up bright as day with lighting. All these yours later I still couldn't think of a more perfect name for him.
How about baby names for each zodiac sign.
Mia Muldoon OMG yasss
That would be so cool! x
Yessss
Omg pleaseeeeeeeee
@@SJ_Strum please. im begging u
Please do fairytale baby names next week like Adriel, aurora, feyre, Giselle Gretel etc
Ellen Hickey love those!!
Japhy H same I think they can be so pretty but also so string
Ellen Hickey definitely, some of the ones you mentioned are also ballet names which I’m a bit obsessed with
Oooh I spot a Acotar fan, Feyre isn’t a real name outside of that book series I don’t think. Love it tho 💖
Katherine Jarrett I love acotar too, feyre means beautiful fairy or beautiful elf. Wouldn’t it be a beautiful name especially with gay and freya being so popular?
In the myth, Ariadne after being abandoned is later found by the god Dionysus and they get married. After her death he turns her crown (which he gifted her) into a constellation and also makes her immortal! 😊
YAYYYYY! Love a good ending - beat that one!!! x
And quite right too!!! 😂
carina my kindergarten teacher was called like that. She was so beautiful and sweet, I always think of Ariadne as a fairy
Is this why when I was on holiday I’m Crete the place I stayed was called dionysos?x
Some Constellation baby names would make an interesting video ✨
Yes that would be so interesting - I'm learning a lot from these suggestions! ha ha! xxx
Oh yeah, that would be so great ❤
Ordinary kek
I think that Zodiacs would link in too - as in she would give a couple of baby names per star sign! ♍️♈️♌️♋️♊️♉️♎️♏️♑️♒️♐️♓️
Yesss
Ordinary kek my middle name is after a constellation
Do unique first name and middle name combo!! Those are so interesting to watch!!
Yes I find those so hard but it's a great challenge! XX
Gothic/witchy names, you dont do too many name lists like this so it would be super cool! Salem, poet, valentine, and flur are some of my faves!
I wanted to name my baby Salem but unfortunately I live in Salem so that would be kind of odd
Flur is so weird. In German it means hallway 🙈
Evira is really pretty too
Tabitha and Willow are my fave witchy names :)
Omg I love these!! If you’re reading this, or anyone, can you comment some boy names?? I love this vibe of names :))))
Could you do a list of Shakespearean or Shakespeare-indpired baby names? I love the name Ophelia ♥️
yes i'd love to do this! x
Ophelia is one of my favorite names ever!
My sister has a 6 year old boy called Shakespeare and I think it’s beautiful 😍 Names from that time era are so unique !
That is my second favorite girl name
I work at a preschool and we have a little girl named Ophelia there. We call her Ophie
Rainbow baby names, as well as Constellation baby names or anything Astrology!!! I love things of the sky, the heavens, space, the universe! 🌈✨💫☄️🌌
Ahhh I'd love your ideas! x

What doing about long names that have a nice (interesting? less common?) short form/nickname?
Oooh love this! I did something similar a while ago and it was really popular! x
Names based on stones, gems, and minerals really fascinate me. There’s Ruby, Jade, Opal, Slate, Topaz, Flint, and so much more. What do you think of this for the next list?

Would love a baby name list for Rainbow Babies and those who struggled with infertility 🌈
Gabrielle Connelly I think the names hope, harmony and serenity would be cute ones if you had a baby girl :) as she would bring all of those into your life
(Baby names not in the top 1000) After 5 years of infertility, we are finally pregnant after our first round of IVF and I am SSUUPPEERR struggling to find a name I love! I've been watching your videos for so long now (always was hopeful aha!) And I would love, love, LOVE to see a baby names/girl names not in the top UK 1000 (or at least 500)
I'm so wanting a name that is not used often, but that people may still "know" of if that makes sense (my partner isn't as into the super unique names as I am) I just so desperately want to find something special, and not a name loads of children in their school year would have also xx IT'S JUST SO HARD!
I highly doubt you'll see this, and I know there are many more popular videos choices people are after right now, I'm just struggling big time 🙈💕 xx
(We don't know what we are having yet but I'm finding girls names soooooo much harder than boys!)
Ah I'm so happy for you both!!! Yes the names dads love but are still unique are super hard to find!! I'll have a think for you xxxxx
May Berry congratulations!
Have you considered any of these names for your little boy/girl? (All outside top 500)
-Karou (means hope)
-Farida (means precious)

-Xiamara (also means joy)
-Jerome (means sacred)

I'm not sure what kinds of names you like, but I think these names are not too common or at least not anymore!
Congratulations on your little bundle of joy x
Congratulations!
@@SJ_Strum ah thank you so much! It is definitely hard!
We do have a name we quite like for a boy that's ranked 3900+ in the UK which is a HUGE bonus for me - but still not 100% sure (even though it has been our top boy name for a while) but trying to find girls names is even harder and I have no idea how to find lists of baby names not in the top 1000! Xxx
I look forward to this every week! Please do your all time favourite boy and girl names!
Ah thanks Hannah! I will do xx
I’d love to see place name baby name list !!💗

Wow! it's so cool! x
It’s also a name on the 100!
Hope someone thinks that about me, proud to be Echo
You pronounced Calliope correct. Calliope is the name of one of the doctors on Grey's Anatomy.
The Hufflepuff Hermione I was wondering where I had heard that name! That’s it!
I was looking to see if anyone would comment this! I Loved Callie in greys!❤️
When I was a 13/14 my number 1 baby girl name was Jupiter! Everyone thought I was nuts when I told them but now I feel validated after this video so thanks SJ!
ha ha - it's amazing! x
What about names based on zodiac signs and astrology for next week’s video?

Baby name video of male and female equivalent names? An obvious example being George and Georgina but would be interesting to hear some more unusual ones? Theodore and Theodora, Ryan And Rhiann etc? Or less obviously connected ones such as Henry and Hattie for example
I'm Greek and it's actually pronounced Ka-le-O-pe, with the emphasis on the "o"!
♥️
Currently pregnant (26 weeks) with a baby girl we are going to name Freya! 💕 We also have an Evander and Thea! Love those God/Goddess names!
I study classics and am a big mythology enthusiast (particularly when it comes to Greek Mythology). I could go on about myths and heroes forever but i thought i would add some names to your list that are a little less known!

I know I keep asking for it but I'd really love to hear them, including my name if that's not too arrogant? I always love baby name Mondays, it's my favourite thing about Mondays!
I love the name Jessica! xx
My name could totally go on a viewers name list! Most people wouldn’t know how to pronounce it correctly!

Please do south Asian or Arabian names. Btw, you are my best youtuber/ name generator 😍🙃. Love ya!
Ah thank you so much Mariah xxx
Would love to see this! Great suggestion
I think that Zodiacs would be absolutely lovely, too 😊 - as in she would give a couple of baby names per star sign! ♍️♈️♌️♋️♊️♉️♎️♏️♑️♒️♐️♓️
Persephone was also sometimes known as ‘Kore’ which I think is also a very beautiful name 😊
I love Persephone! 😍😍😍😍 I was going to call her Percy for short. My husband was having none of it lol
I would go with sephie, i like nicknames like that
I’m actually obsessed with the names Freya and Artemis.
And actually know an Artemis.
I’m so in love with those names that I’m actually considering them for my future daughter.
My daughters name is Artemis!
Wait isn't that the project name of some scientific experiment??
I’ve always loved the meaning of my name but I’ve noticed it more and more especially with younger people than me❣️ I went to school with an echo who was a younger twin!! How cute People definitely found it strange at first but most loved it in the end🧚🏻♂️ Another beautiful list SJ!

Super curious on what you chose!!!
I adore the names Jupiter and Artemis for boys, great list! Some Irish mythological names I love are Morrigan for a girl and Lugh (pronounced Lu) for a boy x

Can you make a video comparing name trends in the US and UK?

Hey! I have a friend who’s Greek and her name is Calliope- she’s always said that it’s pronounced “CAL-ee-OH-pee”
Weird that's how I thought it was pronounced originally but everything I've read or heard says Ka-lye-o-pee
dmallow22 yeah I thought it was pronounced “Ka-lye-oh-pee” at first, too, but my friend has always said the proper pronunciation is “CAL-ee-OH-pee”!!
Yeah in greek the pronunciation is totally different, “io” is not pronounced as aio but like eo
Please do part 2 for this I ADORE this theme, and names just sound better when you suggest them!
watching this video because my cat (freya) had 5 kittens this morning lmao
What did you name them?
Subscriber names would be fun. You could pick your fav first names from your subscriber list.
Also, I think it’d be really cool to do a baby name list based off of American presidents, American First Ladies, American first children, American Congressmen and women, etc! I’m from the States- been watching Baby name Monday since day 1!
Love love Ariadne
So beautiful it became popular here in the us because of a soap opera actress
Have you done Hispanic baby girl /boy names yet? I’d looove to hear them
Could you please do ocean, weather, flower, plant, tree, or animal names that can be used for babies?
Italian baby names! My favorite Italian name is Violetta ( pronounced in Italian as V-oh-letta ) the American pronunciation where I’m from is Vi-oh-letta like violet. I love the Italian pronunciation and you could call her Letti just so cute.

Some good names this week. Love Ariadne & Calliope, the latter could be Callie. Hard to choose between Leander & Evander , will vote for Leander !
Rainbow baby names!!! 🌈

Thanks!! My name is echo...not common here in us, but EVERY ONE loves it. I've heard of others and met one.
echom777 thats so cool and unique!
I love Ariadne and Echo, I'm going to run these by my husband as potentials to add to our list! Persephone is very pretty too. Artemis is already on our list. Hector is the name of second of my two lost babies (the first is Fjord) ❤️ My friend had a baby about 7 months ago named Freya 😍
Freya was my favorite names since I was 8 and I hate the way it’s got so popular but I’m still gonna use it bahaha
You should do some African or Asian names!
i love the name fenris for a boy. it’s a name from scandinavian mythology, and although not a god, he had the power to threaten them. which is admittedly a bit dark but it’s so gorgeous!
Juno is another one, that’s my daughter’s name 😊
I know I said it before and it’s kinda similar to the place names idea but I would love a travel/adventure inspired baby name list! 🌍✈️🗺🗾💙💚
We are due a little boy at Christmas and are currently playing the name game 🙈 just wondered what people’s opinions of Alba is for a little boy? We want something unusual but not too way out there. What do you think? X
so cute! I think that's a good one.
Ahhh I love it! It's like Archer, Albie but a bit special. It means 'fair' doesn't it - I've heard it on a little girl and think it works so well for each x
Alban is a french name for a boy (my brother’s name and I absolutely love it!) , Alba is such a beautiful name but usualy for a girl here (but it will a great name for a boy for sure!). 😉
It's a spanish girl name so only do it if you think he won't be holidaying in Spain.
I have a couple of Loki’s around me. One of my friends called her daughter Loki , and another named her dog Loki 😄
Can I just say this is my favourite list of yours so far... So many beautiful unique names! Normally I'm not one for super weird names but these are so beautiful!!! Keep up the good work SJ! ❤
Ah yayyy thanks Hannah I'm so glad you liked it xx
You seem like such an amazing friend and a happy person! Keep making videos ❤️
Ahhh thank you xxxxx
I love Nephele! I came up with the combo Flora Nephele.
My husband wanted to use Persephone as a middle name...I told him no, for the reason that it is pretentious...and considering we've already got Nyx as a middle name(another Goddess name)I found it to be far too much!
My daughter was born last month and her name is Freyja Evalina
i had a childhood friend named Echo, she just had her first baby too, Sophia!!
I know I have seen comments that you pronounced Calliope correctly, however I did used to work with a Greek lady called Kalli whose full name was Kalliope - pronounced Kallie-O-Pea (rather than Call - eye -o-pea). Could be one of those names that has different pronunciations in different countries
I knew a girl called Aphrodite, in the uk we say aphro-dy-tee In Greece it's aphro-dee-tee
Aww. My daughter’s name is Ariadne ❤️ no one can ever pronounce it 😩😂
You pronounced Calliope right! :) There was a character on Grey's Anatomy named Calliope and everyone called her Callie.
There's also a blogger that always comes up on my instagram explore page and she has a little baby daughter named Echo and it's so cute.
My favourite list! Ariadne was on my list. As was Astrid (which I’ve mentioned a billion times😂 and Persephonie.
Love Hector, and Odin. I love the name Echo. Bet that I’d get vitoed immediately by hubby.
Yes my husband would never go for Echo either!! x
Danaë is also a absolutly wonderful name! She was a greek princess and was so amazingly beautiful that Zeus really wanted to have a child with her. But Danaë father had gotten a prophecy that his grandchild would kill him. So he never let Danaë ungarded. Tho one day she was outside and Zeus just could not keep it in his pants. So he transformed into a shower of golden rain and made her pregnant, so she gave birth to the hero and demigod Perseus(great boy name, with nickname: Percy if you want to) who later was able to slay Medusa by the help of using his shield as a mirror. If u are unsure of how to express Danaë just search online. It is suuuper pretty!!
Wow! What a story - the stories were all so extreme and passionate!! xx
Areia is my favorite🌹 Did you know that Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love had a war goddess form? They called her Aphrodite Areia, Worshipped almost exclusively in Ancient Sparta where she reflected the kingdoms value of battle- it was a rare place where even women were encouraged to be warriors (all hands on deck here). Areia is so feminine but badass at the same time, unique but not unrecognizable. I love it.
Athena is on my list for my little girl when she’s here ❤️
wish you put Calypso on this list!!!! I love it so much
maddie nelson omg, yes!!! Btw, your future boyfriend's name will be Donkey.
My 15 year old son's name is Raiden from Japanese mythology being the God of Thunder and Lightning. The night he was born there was a huge thunder storm and as he was entering the world there was the biggest crack of thunder and the room lit up bright as day with lighting. All these yours later I still couldn't think of a more perfect name for him.
Love ya SJ !!! Your channel is really lovely and I always look forward to seeing your videos ♥️
Ah thank you so much xx
