Hey guys - Evelina and I have both been poorly so sorry this is a little late!! My favourite thing is seeing all the amazing birth announcements we get sent - I hope they make you smile as much as they do me! Xxxx
Cove Hawthorne ❤️❤️❤️ You are speaking my language. My first baby was stillborn at Christmas in 2015. I'm considering the name Juniper as a middle name for our baby son because the Juniper tree is linked to Xmas, and therefore my 1st born. Love connecting names. Congratulations beautiful Mummy, sending you love and light ❤️
Birth Announcement! Our beautiful baby girl decided to come 6 days ahead of her due date. We have been very much struggling to both decide on a girl’s name. We both liked Ezra for a boy so we settled with Ezri Amber Williams. She’ll be affectionately called ‘Ezzie.’ Born 01/07/21 weighing 7lbs 3oz
Ah thank you! Yes I do have loads Of names to come up with and reasons and insights - it takes ages!! I also try not to repeat names non stop so it’s hard 😂😍😍😍
Birth announcement: Maxwell Callum. Maxwell is a nod to my late maternal grandfather Maximo. As well as him being born in the Spring & being a water sign, it means "great spring." Callum comes from "Calum" meaning "dove." A dove being a symbol of peace, his father is super calm and this baby has been very chill as well so I feel it fits him perfectly also! Love your videos!💗
SJ please help. My hubby is Serbian (orthodox) and I need baby names my family can pronounce. If you don't help I will have to name my baby BORIS ok so you understand the seriousness of the situation.
I'm finally pregnant (2 months) and before I had a huge list but now that there is an actual baby it feels very stressful to choose a baby name. Luckily I've been following this channel forever and can re-watch whenever I like ❤️
SO happy to see Caspian on here. It's been one of my top names since I was little. Here's my list if anyone wants to chat about names :) BOYS: Caspian (Caz as a nickname) Lachlan Nicholas/Nico Christopher Clarke Edward William Oscar Blake James Henry GIRLS: Estelle Fleur Aurelie Daphne Violet Catherine Rhonda Jasmine Sadie Cleo Charlotte Bridgett Emma Blake Annie Luca
i have always been obsessed with names. My son, Neo Rayne is 19 and my daughter, Lila (L- eye- la) Sky is 17. So excited about finding this channel! Will be writing a list for future grand children.
What an awesome job. As a writer, I've always been slightly obsessed with the idea of influencing baby name trends, including beyond my own death. That sounds weird, but honestly, it's one of those ultimate author dreams. Imagine being the person who named a character or characters, and parents then go on to use those names, either partly or entirely inspired by your fiction. But what you are doing is totally influencing naming trends, too - like, wow, and such fun, at the same time. 🥰❤🤎💖
I don't know if there's an afterlife or not but if there is and those in it can see what we do one Earth I would imagine JRR Tolkien must be proud of the beautiful names he inspired/created/made popular. Pippin and Rowan are popular ones and I also know a Strider, which is a name I think is so cool and different!
I like somewhat unique names like Marlowe, Cassio, Pippin, Jakoby... (the list is endless) But my boyfriend prefers really ordinary, classic names (Henry, Jack, Ella, Sarah... etc.) These would be lovely names, except his last name is "Smith." I'm definitely gonna turn to your lists when we start having kids... I'll need all the help I can get!
I know someone with the married surname Smith ( she had a really unusual maiden name so a very traditional first name). She has called her girls Eryn, Allanah and Caitlin, so kind of unusual!
I'm in the same situation. We're having a boy and I agreed on Isaiah and I plan go call him izzy or zayzay. I obviously didn't win on the name but I'm oddly ok with his name. My other one I'd agree on was Elijah. We originally had twins but I unfortunately lost 1 of them.
I really hope you get a consultancy office! I’ve been watching since the very beginning, so best believe I’d be keeping an eye out for those jobs ads! 😅 Some gorgeous names in this.
The only name I like about the k/j is Penelope,Reign,True (as a middle name not 1st name ). Chicago and Stormi are ok names . They are cute but I wouldn't use it
😍 I cannot tell you how excited I would be to work at a baby name consulting agency! That is the coolest. And I have to share my reactions to so many of these gorgeous names. Congrats to all of the parents!! - Rory is a lovely nickname for Rowan! - Erica Ivy!!! Both fab names. I’m so pleased to see Erica being used again! - Cove Hawthorne’s tribute to Blossom makes me cry. - Wilhelmina Darling Rachel has stolen my heart. - Marlowe Vienne is gorgeous! - Zaia might be a new favorite of mine.
Forest Rafferty, Warren Magnus, Olive Florence, Wilhelmina Darling Rachel and Inez Dove are so lovely 😍 My friend just had her little boy a month ago and they also went with Simon! Simon Christopher.
@@Graceroadto3k ee-NEHZ/ih-NEHZ (some accents it may be more -ness than -nehz) though some elderly women I've met with the name say it eye-NEHZ. It seems more modernly people's pronunciation is informed by the traditional Spanish, while older generations had their pronunciation informed by other popular names of the time like Iris, Ida, and Irene.
Torben! Torben was on my list (for my dog) as it derives from Old Norse and means thunder bear! I mean, thunder bear! Could you get any cooler? Your Evelina is so precious omg.
My daughter is turning 1 this month! I wanted a Princess name but a rare one! Her name is Kairi Isabel. Kairi means Sea, its also a princess on the Disney video game Kingdom hearts.
would you mind doing hispanic/south american baby names? I love all of the names but i would like to see more that can be said in spanish and not completely butchered in english, maybe it’s too much to ask 😅 but just a thought!
I'm 20 weeks with my first baby, it's a girl!! I have a huge list but my partner & I only agree on a few like Harper, Ophelia, Avianna, Marlowe but cant choose. I love Evelynn to call her Evei, but I feel it's a bit old fashioned. My partner has a son named Atticus so we want something different like her big brother. Her middle name will be Lenora-June after both our grandmothers, her last name will be Langley. We had the name Kohen if baby was a boy.
I just had to jump on here and say how crazy it is that my first born is named Ophelia and I’m expecting my second who is to be named Evelyn, nickname Evie 😳 great minds think alike I guess lol
Thank you SJ for the great names you come up with.I think the way you encourage people to go with the name they love, instead of worrying what others think. Love your work. 🧡
I fell in love with the name Atticus for my second but my family had less than great reactions to it. I wish we had kept the name to ourselves and/or used it anyways. I’ll forever be envious of those who do use that name haha
I had such a hard time deciding on a 2nd boy name, our first was set and we thought I was pregnant with a girl with this one and was so easy to come up with a girl name, then found out surprise boy! I was so happy to find your channel which helped so much, looking forward to sharing our baby announcement in a couple of months!
such a cool job! i’ve been obsessed with baby names for as long as i can remember. even as a kid i would sit and write lists of baby names in my free time! my daughter is Vienna James💜
I’ve always absolutely loved the name Justin, but I’ve also found that Wayback in history there was a longer form of Justin that isn’t used very much and I am going to bring it back when I have my own kids. The name is Justinius and I absolutely love the sound of it. Sorry, just had to post it here. I totally have a crush on this name right now.
I used to teach a boy named Felix at my preschool and he was the sweetest boy and so clever! Made me love the name! Which is usually the opposite when working around children, you end up not liking a lot of names you used to 😂
LOVED this video! Such sweet names in this community! & of course, I loved hearing your thoughts on my son’s name in the video too. I hope you’re both feeling better!
You helped me pick my little girls name and now having a little boy thanks to you again found the perfect middle name 🥰 My daughter is Clara Beaux And I can’t wait to announce little dudes name with you all 🥰
I love this. Idk I’ve always been obsessed with baby names since I was little. I’m 13 and already planning for my kids names I also have a channel called HEY ITS KAY KAY
Actually fun fact my mum told me that her and my dad were watching a French film called chocolat when she was induced with me and I always joke that that is the reason that I love chocolate so much.
Idk, I feel like if you’re into unique somewhat out there names then Happy is a really adorable option. There are many similar options like Joy, or even Karma as well. Definitely not Agent Chaos though 😅 sounds like you already have your hands full with that silly little one.
I feel your pain, we're trying for our first and he finds a reason to veto every single name. I had a list a mile long of my favourite names, I thought he would like at least 1 or 2 but he hated all of them
Ellis Arthur may be my favorite!! We love Arthur, but it is a but much as a first name with our last name. But Ellis Arthur may be a great way to use it!!
@@rubylavinia991 We think it's cool too! We just worry that we may name a child that who would be embarrassed of his name, and we would hate to do that! Some kids would rock it and love it, but watch us name a boy that who would hate it! That would be so sad! If we knew the kid would love it, I think we'd go with it
💯 gun for a consultancy. I would have definitely used your services. Besides, you two make a fab team. Adore your podcast and have been following you, SJ for years! 😍
I was swooning over so many of these names! I got so excited over the name Pandora. But I might be a little biased. LOL. But so many of the names I was just losing it because they were just so good. I think being a baby name consultant would be my absolute dream job.
Love watching your videos! Over a year ago you gave me some suggestions on one of your videos for baby number 4 who ended being our 4th boy...yes 4 boys 😳🥰. We named him Felix Oliver.
Yesss, pt 2 please!! PS What’s the best way to send you baby name announcements/stories? Your channel is awesome and was definitely an inspiration when choosing my rainbow baby girl’s names!
I love Baby names. I’m 17 and have been thinking about baby names since I can remember, literally I remember sitting making baby name lists in like Kindergarten lol. I can’t wait till I have my own kids and get to name them but I’m afraid I won’t be able to choose names ahh.
When i choose names for my list i try to think of them as old people, such as Rider. Not any hate for the name, i love it, just an example. Have you seen a 70 year old Rider?
I would definitely pay for a consult with you! I think if your charged something reasonable like 25$ for a week wait and then like 50$ for a speedy answer or something haha but not more than that. I think so many moms/dads stuck on a name would definitely be willing to pay for your guidance!
I've been charged with coming up with the family's baby names because they feel I'm inspired as well. My daughter is actually becoming an Ellis which topped our boy name list so aside from Luke, Sutton, Wyatt, and Beau, we're still unsure about boys. For girls we have Magnolia James, Charlotte Katherine (Charlie Kate), and Stevie Eloise. Penelope (Poppy or Lola) Carolina and Georgia Marigold are a close 4th and 5th.
My baby’s father’s initials are also SJS! Can’t wait to watch your videos. I have a feeling this is where I’ll be finding my name. 8 months now. Love from Philly 💕🥰🙏🏼
I'm having an Arthur Robert in September but thought I'd share my name list. Boys 1. Arlo Jordan 2. Carlyle Onslow 3. Thomas Lelund 4. Rhys Cohen 5. Leon Hayes Girls: 1. Imogen Meredith 2. Reverie Marlowe 3. Wynona Danette 4. Ceallaigh Mae I will say, my next baby will be named Arlo regardless of gender because I'm dead set on it, Arthur would've been Arlo if his father hadn't preferred Arthur. Just for a girl would be Arlo Jayn.
Enjoyed your video, great names and energy 😊 Out of the names you listed, I love Roxanna! I think its such a perfect mix of vintage and modern; I cant believe it's not used more. Haven Oceana is beautiful as well. I love when the first and middle work together for a poetic meaning. I have four kiddos myself; Meadow, Jasper, Nickolas, and Cricket.
I was so excited to see another Harlan on the list. I recently had a girl and called her Harlyn Sariella, Harlyn both being strong but feminine and Sariella (Sa-Ree-Ella) is my own made up name. Little sister to my 18 month old boy Rhaegan Joseph (Ray-Gan)
I absolutely loved the little girls name who is called Grace, because you said she might have been called Victoria. My name is Nyasha Victoria, and Nyasha is Shona for Grace. So i think thats pretty special❤ Love your videos❤❤
I’m having a baby girl in approx 10 weeks and would love opinions on our “top of list” name: Holly May. I prefer Holly Hope (she is a rainbow baby) but my husband doesn’t think it flows well. I also have a daughter named Lucy Grace & want the names to work well together.
I came here hoping maybe you or your viewers could help... we have a lot of kids and we are having another girl... I just can't find any names I like- or that aren't insanely popular. The kids we have: Molly Jane, Finn McCool, Fox David, Arwen Faye and Enid Leatta.
This is so cool! I’d legitimately love to do this, I’m a big fan of names and I don’t intend to have kids and have no friends having babies so I need to spread my knowledge lol
Naming a girl, we like Maddison but I can’t get on board with the meaning (son of Maud) especially as our son Vincent Frederick has such a strong meaning that goes so well together (victorious conqueror, peaceful ruler). Alternatives with a similar sound but more interesting meaning?
My favorite boy name at the moment is Dorian, from The picture of Dorian gray. But a close second would be Storm Wilder. It just sounds so epic. Other cool boy names I love are Dante, Cyrus, Ambrose, Lucien, Emmanuel, Carlisle, and Abel. My favorite girl name at the moment is Autumn. But other beautiful girl names I’d love to use are Ines/Inez, Rosa, Sarai, Ophelia, Yael, Sage, Carmen, Esther, and Zoelle (or Joelle).
I’m a Marianne born in 1980. Nickname Maz. My dad named me after Marianne Faithfull. Always loved the rarity of my name, especially since my siblings both have very “well used” names
Recent subscriber here! Found this video and was interested to learn how one becomes a baby name consultant. I am an absolute name buff and have been since about the age of 15. I have multiple baby name books that I have poured over so many times over the years, any time I find out someone I know is expecting. I am in multiple mom groups online, and when I see a post where an expecting mom is asking for baby name recommendations, I will write out a list. Unique baby names, check! Classic baby names, check! Names that go well with their other childrens' names, you name it! Side note, I work as a preschool teacher, and every year, I hear new, unique names I've never heard before, but I would absolutely love to help people name their babies as a job! It sounds like so much fun! My daughter's name is Riannon Kaya Juniper Rose ☺️ It took me 36 hours after she was born to officially decide on her full name, and there is a lot of meaning behind all of her names 😊
I suggest looking at hobbies which might sound silly but, my partner is 4WD, fishing, country music Aussie bloke. So I looked for blokey Aussie names and got Drover for our first, and country music one of Luke Combs guitarists is Rowdy Rob so we have a Rowdy.
I’m many years off children but I write and need to come up with character names and one that sticks out for me is I came across the name Ezra many years ago, not knowing the gender of the person it belonged to, and named a little girl Ezra Daisy. I still think Ezra is gorgeous for a girl but I’d be so nervous to use it because everyone only seems to know it as a boy name.
Baby name Zenon. It means "gift of Zeus". It used to he popular in Poland for people born around 1950s. I have never heard it in any of the videos, but I think it might work well. Zen or Zenny for nn.
I think some hospitals have baby cuddlers as volunteers. Probably not in covid times of course, but I feel like I've seen people volunteer as cuddlers to babies in the hospital for a long time. I think it comes from the idea of babies needing a lot of cuddles to thrive but of course parents need to go home and sleep and nurses can't be around all the time
Yes! I was a cuddler for years. Cuddlers were always needed because often a baby was on pre-op instructions like no food for a few hours and they would cry because they were getting hangry. Or some babies would cry from discomfort or pain from procedures. Some just wanted to be held and their mom had zipped home real fast for a few hours. And some, unfortunately, were wards of the state and didn't have their parents there because they had been born addicted. Whatever the reason, cuddlers were always very needed. I hate that hospitals have had to do without for over a year now. On rare quiet days (usually a rainy day when all the babies are really relaxed and sleepy) We would get to launder all the little baby clothes and blankets for the long-term NICU residents. It was quite a nice volunteer gig. I highly recommend it as soon as hospitals start allowing them again.
I had a million named picked out when I was growing up. But now that I'm actually pregnant I have no idea what to do 😩 hoping watching your videos will help
We are expecting our second son in september and haven't settled on a name yet, wich freaks me out. I really like Harvey Jones. But my husband likes names like Jayden, Hayden, Brady. We have a son named Dylan Mateo. Some other names i liked are Lennon, Arthur, Ezra and Flynn. I like to see some other options from babyname lovers🥰
HELP REQUIRED! I would love some advice from you/your bb name community! We were all set on a girls name which we both loved....then we found out we are having a boy...we have both veto'd each others favourites (Sonny and Dexter) so are struggling to find something else we both like...we currently have two under consideration Roman Wilder or Wilder Roman...which do people prefer? (Also still open to other suggestions)...
I wish naming babies was my job! My name Instagram has 1000 followers but my job made me too busy to find time to post now :( also, I love Luca and Clay! Luca Roux is my puppy’s name so I may be a bit biased ;)😂
I love your videos, SJ! You have such a talent. I’ve been watching them long before falling pregnant.. but could now really do with your help. I have a little girl called Romilly, a name I have loved for as long as I can remember and was set on. I’m having another girl, due early November and I’m just feeling flat with regards to names. I want a slightly unusual name but not completely out there. My husband Will and I also can’t agree! X
Hey guys - Evelina and I have both been poorly so sorry this is a little late!! My favourite thing is seeing all the amazing birth announcements we get sent - I hope they make you smile as much as they do me! Xxxx
Glad we didn't have to wait another week! Get well soon. I've had a horrible day so this cheered me up 💞

Its like being a cake tester for a living. But it also sounds so much easier than it actually is. You put thoughts from so many angles into this!
Ah thank you! Yes I do have loads
Of names to come up with and reasons and insights - it takes ages!! I also try not to repeat names non stop so it’s hard 😂😍😍😍
@@SJ_Strum i really appreciate the effort. You are a very unique expert 🤩
That is a real job?! Where do I sign up haha amazing
Birth announcement: Maxwell Callum. Maxwell is a nod to my late maternal grandfather Maximo. As well as him being born in the Spring & being a water sign, it means "great spring." Callum comes from "Calum" meaning "dove." A dove being a symbol of peace, his father is super calm and this baby has been very chill as well so I feel it fits him perfectly also! Love your videos!💗
SJ please help. My hubby is Serbian (orthodox) and I need baby names my family can pronounce. If you don't help I will have to name my baby BORIS ok so you understand the seriousness of the situation.
How about:
James
Billy
Julian
Fredrick (Fred)
Sam
Nick
Luca
Brooks
Timothy
Tobin
Specifically I need boys names please. He will not agree on any American/western names. I CANNOT name a baby boris.
@@rashna3585 I need Serbian names :( I could do Luka but with a K.
No boris isn’t the best right now!! How about Konstantin? Slavic origin, referring to "constant" or "steadfast"? I really like that name? Xx

I've been obsessed with baby names since I was 11, I'm 14 now 😂
I always loved Amethyst. I named my 3 kids with A names and considered naming my daughter that but my husband didn't like it lol
We named our two cats Freddie (after your eldest) and alfie 🥰
Please do a part two! 😍
Pleeeeease do a part 2! Or better yet, another one every few months 🤗❤️
Love love love! Not pregnant but love to hear such beautiful baby names for future inspiration xx
Actually fun fact my mum told me that her and my dad were watching a French film called chocolat when she was induced with me and I always joke that that is the reason that I love chocolate so much.
I remember that film coming out so I feel old now
I was desperate to call my daughter anouk from that film!
I only know of Chocolat because of the movie I Love You Man.
My 5yr old son has chosen names for his baby sibling.
Boy: Agent Chaos
Girl: Happy 😆
My baby cousin wanted to name her sister Cricket 😂
Idk, I feel like if you’re into unique somewhat out there names then Happy is a really adorable option. There are many similar options like Joy, or even Karma as well. Definitely not Agent Chaos though 😅 sounds like you already have your hands full with that silly little one.
@@samanthadavis678 I have a friend her sister is named cricket!!
@@natisacat1082 omg. Hahaha
@@natisacat1082 does she sing 😜
SJ whats your thoughts on Finley Hugh? thankyou 💕
I have just about 6 weeks left and can't come up with anything so here I am binge watching all these name videos
We're about to start trying for 2nd Baby and cannot agree on a single name! It's so frustrating when your fabourite names are immediately rejected x
What's your first baby's name? What types of names do you and your partner like?
@@theklaa4457 first is called Constance. I love a classic name with a modern nickname (She goes by Connie). He doesn't seem to like anything x
I feel your pain, we're trying for our first and he finds a reason to veto every single name. I had a list a mile long of my favourite names, I thought he would like at least 1 or 2 but he hated all of them
@@Aimee090690 Grace?
Pretty sure I’ve commented with Torben on a few of your videos as it’s my absolute favourite!
Ellis Arthur may be my favorite!! We love Arthur, but it is a but much as a first name with our last name. But Ellis Arthur may be a great way to use it!!
arthur king would be the coolest name ever!!!
King Arthur!
@@rubylavinia991 We think it's cool too! We just worry that we may name a child that who would be embarrassed of his name, and we would hate to do that! Some kids would rock it and love it, but watch us name a boy that who would hate it! That would be so sad! If we knew the kid would love it, I think we'd go with it
What about Talon Ellis Artur King? I thing that is the coolest name ever!
💯 gun for a consultancy. I would have definitely used your services. Besides, you two make a fab team. Adore your podcast and have been following you, SJ for years! 😍
I was swooning over so many of these names! I got so excited over the name Pandora. But I might be a little biased. LOL. But so many of the names I was just losing it because they were just so good. I think being a baby name consultant would be my absolute dream job.
Your video inspired our little girl's name as well. Josie Winter ❤
Love that x
Love watching your videos! Over a year ago you gave me some suggestions on one of your videos for baby number 4 who ended being our 4th boy...yes 4 boys 😳🥰. We named him Felix Oliver.
Please do part 2 in a video, I loved this one ❤
My kids name is Malachite Titan.. what you think? Would you ever suggest it?
I have a new favourite girl name because someone yucky ruined my favourite (Tessa) . I’ve fallen for Esther now! I adore it. Nick name Essie
Both beautiful names. I have a god-sister named Esther-Kaye. I absolutely adore it.
Yesss, pt 2 please!! PS What’s the best way to send you baby name announcements/stories? Your channel is awesome and was definitely an inspiration when choosing my rainbow baby girl’s names!
I love Baby names. I’m 17 and have been thinking about baby names since I can remember, literally I remember sitting making baby name lists in like Kindergarten lol. I can’t wait till I have my own kids and get to name them but I’m afraid I won’t be able to choose names ahh.
When i choose names for my list i try to think of them as old people, such as Rider. Not any hate for the name, i love it, just an example. Have you seen a 70 year old Rider?
Wow, I just named my baby Felix William 3 months ago, in a way I feel like this confirms that it was a good choice :)
I would definitely pay for a consult with you! I think if your charged something reasonable like 25$ for a week wait and then like 50$ for a speedy answer or something haha but not more than that. I think so many moms/dads stuck on a name would definitely be willing to pay for your guidance!
I've been charged with coming up with the family's baby names because they feel I'm inspired as well. My daughter is actually becoming an Ellis which topped our boy name list so aside from Luke, Sutton, Wyatt, and Beau, we're still unsure about boys. For girls we have Magnolia James, Charlotte Katherine (Charlie Kate), and Stevie Eloise. Penelope (Poppy or Lola) Carolina and Georgia Marigold are a close 4th and 5th.
My baby’s father’s initials are also SJS! Can’t wait to watch your videos. I have a feeling this is where I’ll be finding my name. 8 months now. Love from Philly 💕🥰🙏🏼
I'm having an Arthur Robert in September but thought I'd share my name list.
Boys
1. Arlo Jordan
2. Carlyle Onslow
3. Thomas Lelund
4. Rhys Cohen
5. Leon Hayes
Girls:
1. Imogen Meredith
2. Reverie Marlowe
3. Wynona Danette
4. Ceallaigh Mae
I will say, my next baby will be named Arlo regardless of gender because I'm dead set on it, Arthur would've been Arlo if his father hadn't preferred Arthur. Just for a girl would be Arlo Jayn.
How cool that you do this for your work! Inspiring
Enjoyed your video, great names and energy 😊 Out of the names you listed, I love Roxanna! I think its such a perfect mix of vintage and modern; I cant believe it's not used more. Haven Oceana is beautiful as well. I love when the first and middle work together for a poetic meaning. I have four kiddos myself; Meadow, Jasper, Nickolas, and Cricket.
I was so excited to see another Harlan on the list. I recently had a girl and called her Harlyn Sariella, Harlyn both being strong but feminine and Sariella (Sa-Ree-Ella) is my own made up name. Little sister to my 18 month old boy Rhaegan Joseph (Ray-Gan)
I absolutely loved the little girls name who is called Grace, because you said she might have been called Victoria. My name is Nyasha Victoria, and Nyasha is Shona for Grace. So i think thats pretty special❤
Love your videos❤❤
I’m having a baby girl in approx 10 weeks and would love opinions on our “top of list” name: Holly May.
I prefer Holly Hope (she is a rainbow baby) but my husband doesn’t think it flows well.
I also have a daughter named Lucy Grace & want the names to work well together.
I like Lucy Grace and Holly May together! Cx
Your husband is right
I came here hoping maybe you or your viewers could help... we have a lot of kids and we are having another girl... I just can't find any names I like- or that aren't insanely popular.
The kids we have: Molly Jane, Finn McCool, Fox David, Arwen Faye and Enid Leatta.
Love all these names! Can you do a video with a list of names that sound similar in many different languages?
This is so cool! I’d legitimately love to do this, I’m a big fan of names and I don’t intend to have kids and have no friends having babies so I need to spread my knowledge lol
I named my daughter Evangeline Rose 🥰
Naming a girl, we like Maddison but I can’t get on board with the meaning (son of Maud) especially as our son Vincent Frederick has such a strong meaning that goes so well together (victorious conqueror, peaceful ruler).
Alternatives with a similar sound but more interesting meaning?
What kind of name are you guys looking for x
you should do an irish names video. Oisín is actually pronounced uh-sheen. its quite popular here in ireland
My favorite boy name at the moment is Dorian, from The picture of Dorian gray. But a close second would be Storm Wilder. It just sounds so epic. Other cool boy names I love are Dante, Cyrus, Ambrose, Lucien, Emmanuel, Carlisle, and Abel.
My favorite girl name at the moment is Autumn. But other beautiful girl names I’d love to use are Ines/Inez, Rosa, Sarai, Ophelia, Yael, Sage, Carmen, Esther, and Zoelle (or Joelle).
I’ve never seen anyone else with Yael and Esther on their name list!
@@chrislynneil4581 I wonder why, they’re such pretty names!
What a cool unconventional job! So awesome. Keep em coming :)
I’m a Marianne born in 1980. Nickname Maz. My dad named me after Marianne Faithfull. Always loved the rarity of my name, especially since my siblings both have very “well used” names
Recent subscriber here! Found this video and was interested to learn how one becomes a baby name consultant. I am an absolute name buff and have been since about the age of 15. I have multiple baby name books that I have poured over so many times over the years, any time I find out someone I know is expecting. I am in multiple mom groups online, and when I see a post where an expecting mom is asking for baby name recommendations, I will write out a list. Unique baby names, check! Classic baby names, check! Names that go well with their other childrens' names, you name it! Side note, I work as a preschool teacher, and every year, I hear new, unique names I've never heard before, but I would absolutely love to help people name their babies as a job! It sounds like so much fun! My daughter's name is Riannon Kaya Juniper Rose ☺️ It took me 36 hours after she was born to officially decide on her full name, and there is a lot of meaning behind all of her names 😊
Evelina Marlowe is gorgeous! I also love Evelina Meadow ❤
I am having trouble figuring out my partners baby name style. What do you suggest to figure out our baby name styles?
I suggest looking at hobbies which might sound silly but, my partner is 4WD, fishing, country music Aussie bloke. So I looked for blokey Aussie names and got Drover for our first, and country music one of Luke Combs guitarists is Rowdy Rob so we have a Rowdy.
I’m many years off children but I write and need to come up with character names and one that sticks out for me is I came across the name Ezra many years ago, not knowing the gender of the person it belonged to, and named a little girl Ezra Daisy. I still think Ezra is gorgeous for a girl but I’d be so nervous to use it because everyone only seems to know it as a boy name.
I'm watching a show with one of the main character name is Erza. And I agree, I love it toom
Baby name Zenon. It means "gift of Zeus". It used to he popular in Poland for people born around 1950s. I have never heard it in any of the videos, but I think it might work well. Zen or Zenny for nn.
I think some hospitals have baby cuddlers as volunteers. Probably not in covid times of course, but I feel like I've seen people volunteer as cuddlers to babies in the hospital for a long time. I think it comes from the idea of babies needing a lot of cuddles to thrive but of course parents need to go home and sleep and nurses can't be around all the time
Yes! I was a cuddler for years. Cuddlers were always needed because often a baby was on pre-op instructions like no food for a few hours and they would cry because they were getting hangry. Or some babies would cry from discomfort or pain from procedures. Some just wanted to be held and their mom had zipped home real fast for a few hours. And some, unfortunately, were wards of the state and didn't have their parents there because they had been born addicted. Whatever the reason, cuddlers were always very needed. I hate that hospitals have had to do without for over a year now.
On rare quiet days (usually a rainy day when all the babies are really relaxed and sleepy) We would get to launder all the little baby clothes and blankets for the long-term NICU residents. It was quite a nice volunteer gig. I highly recommend it as soon as hospitals start allowing them again.
I had a million named picked out when I was growing up. But now that I'm actually pregnant I have no idea what to do 😩 hoping watching your videos will help
I love your enthusiasm!
i like Amelia Rosa or Lily Sage
My girl Everly's nickname is SJ 😂 Silly Joy 😂
We are expecting our second son in september and haven't settled on a name yet, wich freaks me out. I really like Harvey Jones. But my husband likes names like Jayden, Hayden, Brady. We have a son named Dylan Mateo.
Some other names i liked are Lennon, Arthur, Ezra and Flynn.
I like to see some other options from babyname lovers🥰
Congrats
Maybe, Harley, Bradley, Frazier? Harlan? Hope they help
HELP REQUIRED! I would love some advice from you/your bb name community! We were all set on a girls name which we both loved....then we found out we are having a boy...we have both veto'd each others favourites (Sonny and Dexter) so are struggling to find something else we both like...we currently have two under consideration Roman Wilder or Wilder Roman...which do people prefer? (Also still open to other suggestions)...
I like Roman Wilder! The other way sounds like Wilder is an adjective describing the kind of Roman ( a wilder one 😆)
@@nyssaramirez3715 thank you, yes I think you might be right!
Roman Wilder
I wish naming babies was my job! My name Instagram has 1000 followers but my job made me too busy to find time to post now :( also, I love Luca and Clay! Luca Roux is my puppy’s name so I may be a bit biased ;)😂
I named my daughter Winter Faye 🥰
Not heard Harlan but love it. Jovy, Lois, Cove, Lochlen, Avery, Remy, Zala, Inez, Hazel I adore 😘 some of these are made by middle names
My sons name is Cove 😊 Cove Hayes
I love your videos, SJ! You have such a talent. I’ve been watching them long before falling pregnant.. but could now really do with your help. I have a little girl called Romilly, a name I have loved for as long as I can remember and was set on. I’m having another girl, due early November and I’m just feeling flat with regards to names. I want a slightly unusual name but not completely out there. My husband Will and I also can’t agree! X
Brontë
Aveline
Maeva
Lorelei
Alana
Colette
Marla
What about Grace, Gracelyn/Gracelynn/Gracelynne or Gracely
I’m also due November and having the worse time with a girls name!! It’s my 3rd I’ve never had this hard of time with my other 2 lol
@@Marcella1450 what are your favourite kinds of names like Nature,Modern,Old fashion etc
helenweddle I’m liking newer names like Esme, emery, Ellie, Avery
“Phillis sees what you’re doing “ - I’m sorry that name reminds me of phoebe in friends 😂 but it’s such a cute name!
Reminds me of Call The Midwife.
We need a part 2!!!
