The wife and I are struggling for names and we’re running out of time. No idea what we’re having. Throw some names out there…

This seems more appropriate to ask the ouija board community not asklemmy.

Have we as a society not yet learned our lesson to not let the internet name things?

Because if we haven’t, my submission for your consideration is Baby McBabyface.

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Alternatives for if you have more kids:

  • Kiddy McKidface
  • Sonny McSonface
  • Daughtery McDaughterface
  • Progenency McProgenencyface
  • Kyle

Please just make sure not to go too crazy with "unique" names or unusual spelling of a name. It causes a lot of issues and inconvenience for the offspring later in life. Saying this as someone who has a common name but spelled in an unconventional way... it's such a headache, and a whole lot of "we can't locate your file" because someone wasn't listening to me when I spelled out my first name.

Okay that has to be a troll, right? I'm starting to have trouble telling some days...

Also post mentions similarity to Jessica Simpson, but not the alliteration? Blessica Blimpson

I tried to think of any name I could that hopefully isn't a joke, kinda old fashioned enough to get you picked on for in school, and/or way out there for pronunciation or spelling. No clue where you are, though, so this could be a list of names not to choose.

[-] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

Adler

German word for 'eagle' might have some connotations idk

[-] AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

I personally only chose it because it's a cool sounding name that I like. I also doubt any sane person will make any unsavory connections, I'd hope.

[-] vantablack@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago
[-] AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

I was gonna say Franz and maybe Waldo as well, but that would absolutely get you picked on. So if that doesn't answer the question, I don't know what will.

[-] marzhall@lemmy.world 41 points 3 days ago

Whatever month they were conceived in. When they ask why it's not the month they were born in, you can tell them "we liked how it sounded" until they're old enough for the truth to be a tempting punishment. Also, congratulations.

This but you use the revolutionary calendar. Yes, Thermidor is a beautiful name.

Speaking of names not to name your child, I went to middle school with a boy named Baby. I hope they would decline that over there.

[-] sangeteria@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Here are some baby names I've thought of but probably won't use:

  • Kareem
  • Hayaat
  • Zain/Zainab
  • Reem
  • Idris
  • Ilyas
  • Yazin
  • Younus
  • Safa
  • Marwa
  • Sadiq
  • Talib
  • Ja'far
[-] MunkyNutts@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

My goto was always Richard Edward, or Dick Ed for short.

[-] noughtnaut@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

How about "Nine Ten"?

Seriously though, my firstborn got a rather specific name which was (and is) totally fine - it just set us up for some serious brain racking when it came time to come up with another name that wasn't comparatively boring.

I'd suggest something that:

  • you can spell when you hear it
  • you can pronounce when you read it
  • in all the languages that you care about

That narrows things down quite a bit, I've found. It also makes life so much easier for the kid bearing it.
