We planned to call our daughter Rose, but I had a feeling during my pregnancy that she would be unique and needed something a little different. We called her Primrose, nicknamed Posy. Sure enough, she has had a very unique early life with a life changing diagnosis and she actually beat cancer before the age of six months. Our little Primrose really is the strongest, sweetest little girl and the image of the Primrose, the first flower of spring, embodies her perfectly.

My daughter is named Florence. I was convinced that I was having a boy, but at around 30 weeks I had a dream that I'd had a girl named Florence. The night she was born, the moment we realised that she was a girl, I remember saying "Oh it's Florence".

I have two second cousins, sisters one is Aurora and one is Violet both have red hair

My mam and dad were trying to have me for 8 years, but weren’t having any success. They were told by doctors when my mam was nearing 42 that there wasn’t really any hope left. My parents use to go yearly to an orphanage in Medjugorje with a group from their village after raising money for them, and one of the workers in the orphanage told my mam to walk the mountain and ask for her baby when she reached the top! At this point they would have tried anything, so they did and both agreed it would be the last time they’d ask and try for a baby. A week later when they arrived home, my mam had a really vivid dream that she was sat with a newborn baby that was quite big for a new born, with a head full of dark hair and massive blue eyes. She was holding a pink baby bag and pulling out pink baby grows, pink dummys and teddy bears. She woke up the next day, saying she just knew, took a test and was pregnant with me!! I was born 9pounds 11, with a full head of dark hair and two saucer blue eyes! 🤣 The funny story about my name was they agreed if I was a girl mam chose my name, if I was a boy then dad chose. Mam said she knew I was a girl before she knew I was pregnant from the dream, so she kind of cheated 😂

I had a dream about my son when I was pregnant with him before I knew he was a boy. I was convinced my whole life I would have a girl first because it seems like a theme in the family! Dream: My husband and I were sitting on a porch and my husband said “where is that boy?” And then a massive 10 ft silhouette of a stork in a top hat brought us our blonde baby boy. He looked 3 months old. I asked the stork why he carried my baby by the back of his yellow corduroy overalls. I was concerned about the back of his neck being iterated because of it. I grabbed our baby and went inside. I never thought this dream would be so accurate mostly because my husband and I have dark brown hair with a little history of blondes in the family. Why it was a dream of him... 1. When he was three months old he became blonde and chubby 2. My mother in law later gave me yellow corduroy overalls from husbands childhood that I never knew babe had! They were the size for a 3 month old! 3. When my sons crib came in it had the same Silhouette Of a stork in a top hat. It’s from kid craft. 4. Craziest of all! He had a “stork bite” on the bottom back of his head! I know it’s nuts! Im not a fan of sharing this story because it’s super crazy and seems unreal. I’m pregnant with our second and haven’t had any dreams or anything like that. I must be out of dream juice lol

That's such a beautiful story! By far the best I've heard 😍

I love listening to all the beautiful stories of how people just had the names appear to them somehow. It does give me chills.

Nothing about my name, but my grandfather- who was dying of cancer - dreamed that my mom gave birth and I was a girl! I was born the day of his funeral, and sure enough! I was a girl!

On the morning of our first scan with our second child I said to my husband 'What about Frederick after your grandad?' My husband's grandad wasn't well at the time. Scan went well and we called my mother in law afterwards and she asked if she could tell the grandad the news and about the name. We said of course. We were woken the next morning by a call to say Grandad had passed away in the early hours of the morning. We never even considered any other names from that moment.

So when I was little I watched a pretty popular movie called Kindergarten Cop with Arnold Schwarzenegger. In the movie the main little boys name is Dominic. When I heard that name I absolutely loved it and thought to myself (I was 5 at the time) if I ever have a son I’ll name him Dominic. Didn’t give it much thought after that. Just kind of tucked it in my heart pocket and moved on. Well fast forward to me being 22 years old. Meeting my now partner of almost 13 years. We moved pretty quickly in the relationship. 9 months after meeting I became pregnant. We found out it was a boy. I told my partner about the movie and how I still wanted to name my son Dominic. Weeeeellllll my partner had also as a 5 year old watched the movie and decided that if he had a son he would name him Dominic. I didn’t believe him and he said oh yea I even told my mom. Ask her. So the next time we saw her I brought it up and she said yes he really liked that name. So there was never an issue with the name for us. We had both as children watched the movie and decided on Dominic 😳 My daughters name is interesting too. I had a LONG list of beautiful girl names for her. I dreamt she was a girl before I knew she was a girl. I saw her in my dreams. And she in real life looks exactly like how I dreamt her. But anyway, none of the names I had on my list FELT right for her. It was quite frustrating. So I kind of in an exasperated way said alright universe I don’t know what to do. You show me her name then. A few weeks later I was on Instagram of all places and someone mentioned their daughter Luella. I had never even heard the name before but I knew right then and there that was her name. I had always loved the name Lulu haha especially because of another movie that I love. So we decided on Luella and even though I’ve never loved the name I also knew her middle name would be Grace. Everyone thinks is weird that I named her Grace because I don’t like it but I just tell people it’s her name that’s all I can say. Luella means “warrior elf or sometimes faery elf” and let me tell you that name suits her perfectly. She’s a sweet little firey thing. And she’s so full of Grace. Just an angel. People always comment on her tiny voice and always say what an angel she is. But let me tell you when she gets upset haha it’s intense. My little warrior elf ;)

Not exactly a baby name story but still sweet, My auntie was told she will probably never conceive naturally and her and my Uncle was never thinking about trying for one since they were saving for a house. My Nan was diagnosed with cancer in 2019 and sadly passed away later that year. On the day of her funeral they found out they were pregnant which was a complete shock, but what freaked us out the most was the midwife calculating their due date on my Nan's birthday...he was actually born 1 day before as well. We say it was a gift from her and they stil call him their angel baby 👼

When my mom was pregnant with my brother, my dad liked the name Ric and the only name my mom could convince him of was Aric. They didn’t even realize my name (Ciera) is his name backwards without the E until years later 😂

I dont believe in soulmates but the Aurora Violet story sure did alter that opinion bc wow what are the chances

Poppie actually means "doll" in Afrikaans (a South African language)... another coincidence of your own this time ;)

The family not enough Nelson's has a cool story where she dreamt of adopting a little girl and kept praying for her and eventually she got the name of the girl in her dream when a song came on when she was really struggling. The song touched her and eventually she adopted a little girl named Lily (the name) and it lead to her adopting a large sibling set of 6.

I feel bad for the girl who wanted the twins. It does NOT make any difference if twins run in the father's family, only the mothers side counts for that 😅 It's a certain gene that causes the mother to release multiple ova each month, instead of just one, which results in the possibility of fraternal twinning. Men don't have ovaries so they obviously can't add to the number of ova! 😂

What are the chances that they all thought of jack 😂

Hilariously my mum chose Kyra for me (Ciara Irish form) chose that spelling to honour her mum who adored Y's in the name, but it means "little dark one" and I am the only one of her children who came out dark haired and eyed of all her children. The rest were fair haired (REALLY blonde) and blue eyes (she chose my name a it before I was born). When she found out the meaning of my name she laughed, she had no idea...she just loved the name! I thought it was interesting that it happened to be the meaning and how I arrived.

Love all of these! Mine isn’t as spooky but it’s still sweet. My mum had always loved the name Sylvia - it’s what she named her first, and favourite doll, and always wanted to name her future baby that. My dad’s family, however, have a tradition of naming a baby after their great-grandparent. My dad’s granny, who he was really close with, was called... Sylvia! So perfect! I love my name and love that it’s rare these days 🥰

The coincidences when they thought of the same names i was so confused like HOW it’s IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!

My parents couldn't decide so they put their favorite few options in a hat and had my one-year-old sister pick one out. I don't like any of the other names they were considering so my sister holds it over me to this day that she saved my by picking Mia!

I know a girl that told me that when she was 15 she had a dream that she had a baby girl and the people in the dream asked what the baby's name was and she kept telling them it was Verity. So ever since then she said she was going to name her daughter Verity. She had a son first but then she had her daughter a few years after her son and she really did name her Verity.

I always loved the name Charlotte Grace but when the royals named Princess Charlotte, everyone had a Charlotte. Then I really liked Harriet and hubby wanted Allison (Ally) one night I was scrolling through vintage baby names and we both said we didn't hate Theodora, but it was too long, then we found Thea is it's own name. It's the only name we both agreed on.

My dad decided when he was a teenager that if he had a daughter he would name her Miranda after the Slowdive song of the same name. My mom loved the name and it was also fitting because she grew up in Mexico and Spain, and Miranda is a Spanish surname. My dad also decided when he was about 11 (I know, he had this all figured out at a very young age) that he wanted to name a son Marty after Marty McFly from Back to the Future. My mom also loved it and her uncle is named Marty so it was also a family name, so my older brother was named Marty.

What fascinating stories!!!! Wow what a great video. Thanks for sharing.

Absolutely loved this video can we get a part 2 please 😊

I guess we really missed our chance with naming our first daughter. Hubby and I had just been across the country spending the last couple of weeks with my family. We were young newlyweds and madly in love, and our schedule had been crazy full while we were with my family, so our intimate times had been a lot fewer and farther between than we were used to. We had around a 17 hour drive back home, and about halfway back, we were like, we can't stand this anymore! Time for a motel! Hubs booked a room online and we drove like mad to get there, and waited what seemed like forever to get booked in, only to discover that he had accidentally booked the wrong date. I don't remember if the motel was full, but for some reason we decided to just put the pedal to the medal and get home as fast as we could. It got dark, and we got to a spot where it was wooded and there were some dark parking lots, and the car had dark tinted windows, so we decided to throw caution to the wind... And you know how the rest goes. Only... Condoms were packed in the suitcase in the trunk, and I thought I knew my cycle well enough to be safe, but several weeks later it became obvious what had really happened that night! We actually talked of naming her Mazda for that reason, but thought that would probably be a little to obvious! The story of how she actually got her name is kinda cute tho, I think. We were hanging out with some friends, and one of the guys totally mispronounced a word, making it a girl's name, and our daughter's full name just popped into my head. My husband, who hates any name I like normally, loved it immediately, and it was only later that we realized that the reason it seemed so right was because the names were variations of both of our Mom's names. Our son's name was kinda the same way. Once again we were traveling, and I saw a name on some luggage that I thought was kinda neat. My husband was off getting a suitcase, and till he came around, I had totally forgotten the name. We stopped at a restaurant on the way home, and there was a group of teenagers in the booth next to me. Suddenly my husband was like, I really like that name! I hadn't been paying attention at all, and had no clue what he was talking about. He said, "Listen! The friend that the guy behind me is talking about!" Come to realize that it was the name I had seen on the luggage and couldn't remember 😊

One of my favorite vids from you SJ!

I'm adopting, and had a whole list of possible girls names. I'd dialed into the boys name pretty early, but didn't know the direction I would go with a girls name since I had about 10 that I loved equally as much. I then had a dream that her birth parents were calling her by the nickname I would use, so I took that as a sign! :) I've never looked back in being sure about that name.

My name also has a very interesting story! My aunt and uncle were trying for a baby and they always loved the name Vanessa and were convinced on using that name if they ever had a daughter. A few years go by and they are pregnant. They went to the doctor and found out that they were having a girl so they knew. They threw a pink baby shower and later, the baby boy was born. They obviously didn’t end up using the name but 2 years later I was born. My mom and my uncle were always really close growing up so my parents decided to name me Vanessa. Funny coincidence though, their son who was supposed to be a girl is now married to someone named Vanessa!

My Mum and Dad wanted to call me Jessica all throughout the pregnancy. When I was born, neither of them thought I looked like a Jessica so they let my elder sister name me. She was nine at the time and loved the programme Dallas (I was born in 1987). In the programme there was a character called April who had blonde hair and blue eyes, just like I was born with. So that's what they called me! I was also born in April.

Cool video, I love hearing how people get their names

This is SO cool. My mom actually heard my name in a dream! She woke up in the middle of the night and just knew it was my name, she didn't even know I was a girl! For us, we found a girl name we LOVED when we first started dating and still absolutely love it. We can't seem to like anything better because we actually have such a personal attachment to it, we call her that already and she's not even conceived yet! Everyone says I might have a boy first, but I just KNOW it's going to be a girl and that will be her name.

I found out I was having a boy for my 2nd baby and I was experiencing some gender disappointment because my partner and I were just convinced I was having another girl. We had chosen a name, I had a nursery theme and baby registry done, and we just never considered a boy in the picture. So choosing a boy name was very difficult and we just couldn't come up with a single name. I had coworkers and friends suggesting a ton of names to us and one had said Liam. I wasn't sure about it at first, I liked it but it was pretty common and I also had a Luca at home, so I wasn't crazy about another 4 letter L name. So I was sharing my feelings about picturing myself with these 2 little girls with my best friend and she had said that well now you'll have a little boy to grow up and be protective of his girls. After that I had looked up the meaning of Liam and it meant protector! I took this as a sign and that was it.

you are low key hilarious lol (all your little jokes always make me laugh)

These stories are amazing! I'd like to thank everyone for sharing them and you, SJ, for making this video!

It embodied me and was full of meaning. Thankfully my parents didn’t have a problem with me changing it legally, and I’ve happily had what I feel is my real name for almost twenty years.

Then I was born and when my sister(4 at the time) met me for the first time she said ‘hi baby Chloe, I missed you’, and my mother chose to keep it as Chloe xxx

One baby was called poppy and the other seed oil 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Early! Absolutely love your videos xx

What a fun video idea!

My son is Frank as well. 🤗 His name was about to be August, after a family member, but when I was pregnant we heard a story about said family member that completely spoiled the name August for me. We randomly went with Frank and it is absolutely perfect for him. I just said to my husband yesterday that I’m so happy we went with Frank, it’s really HIS name.

Best name ever ❤

Shortly after I had my second son (7 months old now) I had a dream that I walked into a white room with all of our loved ones who have passed on. They just kept saying "their names Amelia and Adeline" im convinced im going to have twin girls in the future 😳

i've had dreams and visions of my 3 sons and daughter...i don't want kids 😳 i've also seen my friend's SIX kids including a set of twin girls. we need updates on your twin girls!!

I loved these!

Best thing about Monday! Love these stories! I’ve got one about my name so I’m called Keira but for a very long time my parents wanted to call me Thea and they had decided when they were quite early in the pregnancy that that would be my name but when I was born the doctor in the room was called Keira and she was so lovely and kind and my mum hadn’t considered the name before but when I was born she looked at me and instantly thought I was a Keira

😻😻😻😻 I loved this 👏🏻

So interesting hearing everyone’s amazing stories! 🥰 Unrelated to the video topic I’m afraid but I’ve been reading a fantasy book recently and I find the royal characters names really interesting and I immediately thought I should tell SJ the Baby Name Monday community 😂 because they’re 4 syllable made up names (as far as I know) - the two main characters are called Dennaleia (denna-lay-uh) and Amaranthine (ama-ran-theen) with side characters called Thandilimon, Alisendi and Casmiel 😍

I’m from a family of farmers, and my brothers are twins; mum & dad weren’t into meanings or anything, but liked the names Thomas and Peter. When they were born however, they decided against Peter and went with Gregory. When I looked up the meanings of their names when I was younger, we found out that Thomas means ‘twin’ and ‘Gregory’ means ‘watchful’, ‘flock’ or ‘herd’. We thought the coincidence so strange!

My daughter is called Wren and her name has so much meaning that was intended but there have been so many signs since it just feels perfect!! My grandmother was called Jennifer/Jenny and always known as Jenny Wren. She loved birds and her husband was in the Navy (women’s navy known as The WRENs or Jenny Wrens). He taught me to sail which is still special to me. So having lost them both Wren seemed a beautiful tribute to them both. We didn’t know what sex she was and if a girl Wren was going to be her middle name. Then she was born unexpectedly and dangerously at 28 weeks weighing 1lb 13oz. She was so tiny and just looked like this little naked fledgling. Without hesitation my husband and I agreed on Wren and when we said her name to her at that very moment she opened her eyes for the first time. She is such a noisy, feisty little bird and has been from the word go, it fits her so incredibly well. Being British and tiny also just fits as it’s the smallest British songbird. Then a while later I remembered that the day before my wedding my mum was desperately hunting the house for my old/borrowed/blue items and was going to give me Sixpence to stick to the bottom of my shoe as is the lucky tradition. She knew she had one that she had work but could not find it anywhere. She did however find a Farthing. So I walked down the aisle with an old Farthing coin on the bottom on my shoe (wren side up). So I was stood there at the alter 3 years prior to my daughters birth and not knowing that we would struggle with infertility, have her prematurely and nearly lose her. Wren was there at my wedding telling me it would be ok and she’s be coming. I know a backwards sign but feels so right. Now struggling with infertility again and likely to have a premature baby again I’m looking for a hopeful sign.

That is such a touching and strong story. I had my daughter at 27 weeks and wanted her to have a name symbolising her strength. Her name is Arielle which means lioness. Maybe that's your sign ;)

This weirdly makes a lot of sense to me. My cousin had a hard time conceiving as well and then lost her baby tragically after just 4 days on this earth. At the the funeral my granny told us this story about how her parents had lost 2 boys before her. Then someone told them that if you want a baby to live you should name it after it’s grandfather. So my granny was born and they named her Juliana after her grandfather Julius and the Dutch queen although we‘re not Dutch. So when my cousin was pregnant again it wasn’t easy but the girl‘s middle name is Juliana. Then she was pregnant again and we thought we lost the baby but miraculously she lived. Her middle name is Elise, which is our granny’s middle name. Both girls are a joy, they are feisty, smart and very creative. You can tell they both have fought hard to be on this earth. They have fighter spirits. Sounds so odd but we marvel at it all the time in our family. Tl;dr if you want babies to live name them after their grandparents.

So cute that all Everlina's dolls are Poppy... That could be another video idea... Names that people were obsessed with when they were little. What they wanted to be called / what they called all their dolls... When I was little all my dolls were either Amanda, or any name with the sound "Nik" at the beginning 🤣 Nicola, Nikki, Nikita, Nicole.. If it was a boy, Nick 🤣 and I always wanted to be called Roxie.

Great idea for a video! At age 3 I independently named my dolls Chloe, Simone & Gemma. I have no clue where I came up with those names and none of them particularly appeal to me 30 years later either!

I really love your videos where you read people's stories, like this, or name dilemmas. Please may you do one on people who changed the baby name after birth, it's fascinating to me!

Got shivers at some of these! Aurora Violet OMG!

I was 13 when my step mum was pregnant with my brother, they decided to keep his name a secret until he was born which really annoyed me😂one night I was playing this game on Facebook- kind of like the sims- and two characters had a baby. I have no idea why but I announced to everyone that I was naming this online baby Alfie. The look my stepmum gave me was like😳and she glared at my dad for ages. I was so confused but it turns out they’d named my brother Alfie too and she thought my dad had secretly told me! So weird and I still think I’m a little bit psychic for guessing it😉

I swear dreams are intimidating, few weeks ago I had a dream of a guy named Caleb who insisted that we talk about our "feelings" (apparently I was in denial). Waking up from that dream made me confused because it was the first time I have dreamt of a person with a name clearly stated and I don't know a Caleb at all..... for now????

I have a funny name coincidence in my family. My name is Ana and my husband's name is Cássio and my paternal grandparents are also called Ana and Cássio. I met my husband by chance and in no way looked for someone with the same name as my grandpa, but totally love this coincidence. 💜

Hi SJ Maybe for a baby name Monday you could do a chill/beachy/Hawaiian boy/girl names? So they mean something relaxing or they could just be relaxing sounding names? Or just Hawaiian names? Idk, you always have the best ideas SJ!

My son has a strange coincidence name. When I went in for my first pregnancy scan I found out that I was due June 12. I was shocked! My dad had past away on a June 12th. So I was trying to think of names to honor him. Nothing felt right. So I scrapped the idea. Came up with a totally unrelated name. Then right before my gender reveal scan the name"Shane" popped in my head. It just felt right. Then we find out were having a boy! But the strange bit happened when I was talking to my Aunt (one of my dads sisters) and said;"we decided to go with the name Shane." Her mouth dropped open and she said;"you wont believe this. But when your dad was little he LOVED the cowboy movie,"Shane" and wanted to use the name, if he had a son." And I had no idea! Now my son even looks like my dad. It was truly meant to be.

the hazel one OMG!!

Oh and another story :) This is about 25 years ago, my youngest brother was all set to be named Peter. My mom was a few weeks from delivering and had the most vivid dream of her life about, of all things, Noah's Ark. So she woke up my dad and said, "We're going to name him Noah." And his while growing up, he would refer to it as "my ark" hahahahaha!

My parents went back and forth between Jocelyn and Julianna, but when I was born apparently named myself. Turns out Julianna is a family name running back years on my moms side, they also completely didn’t realize my cousins name is Shea Julianna (being her middle name)

There's an incredible family called five.two.love on KZread who have an amazing name story. they have quintuplets and when the mum first found out that they were having quints, she dreamt that it would be three girls and two boys and that she would call the girls Daisy, Lily and Violet. when they went to find out the sexes, they were indeed having 3 girls and 2 boys and so of course, that's the names they picked for the girls 🥰🥰
