I think a great idea for a video are “dark” themed names or names that have a controversial meaning such as Envy, Delilah and Lilith - and hey maybe even Cruella since the new film is coming.

❤ the gentle way you said 'Arden'. I can tell you really love the name when it sounds like you're hugging it when you say it. Strange thought but you made it sound even more lovely.
Had a hairdresser the other day whose name was Mandora - so similar as Pandora but without the stigma. She said it was Indian origin. I love it!

Happy baby name Monday! SO excited about season two of baby name envy! & Such a good list SJ :)
Hi Sj. I followed you during my pregnancy for baby girl name inspiration (we never struggled with boys names) and we fell in love with a name your recommended - Bohème. When our baby girl arrived, we knew this was the perfect name for her. Bohème - artistic and unconventional. Thank you xx
I love Sybil (maybe because it’s similar to Sylvia) but even though it was in Downton, for me it will never lose Fawlty Towers and Basil shouting “SYBILLLL!” 😂
Baby name announcement! We welcomed North Rose into our family June 7th ❤️❤️ love your videos!
Marnie reminds me of the cute girl on Halloweentown, a Disney movie. My daughters watched those movies like a hundred times when they were ( It was such a fun Halloween movie series!). So it would be so cute for a late October/ early November baby girl!!

I love Tiggy as a nickname for Antigone
@ANNtique
3 жыл бұрын
A couple of years ago I read a book with a character called Antigone known as Tiggy and I kind of wish I had named my teenage daughter that. The only thing I don’t like is whether in a formal setting would people think it is pronounced Ante-gone instead of an-tig-on-ee
Marnie is really gorgeous. A new favourite for me 🥰
I have been I love with Stevie for yearssss
I have a Marnie, and she is 10000% a free spirited trailblazer! Can't sit still, stubborn and wants to do things her own strange way, loves water and flowers etc found it hilarious when it appeared on your list!
I love truly too! I was like: a little Kardashian-ish yes but there was a movie “ Chitty Chitty Bang Band” that had truly scrumptious. So I think of it as more of an older/unique name
@SJ_Strum
3 жыл бұрын
Me too! I loved that movie growing up 🥰
I'm 32 and my middle name is Trudie... My namesake being my dad's nan, Gertrude, who died just before I was born. I've always loved my first name, Sophie, and taken pride in the fact it means 'wisdom', but surprisingly never thought to find out the meaning of Trudie before... Universal strength... I love it. Also, my brother calls me Gertie, which I LOVE
My favorites from the list are Marnie and Larkin. I have loved Marnie since discovering an old crime novel called Marnie that was made into a stage play and a movie. I first heard Larkin in the stage musical Once Upon a Mattress. Lady Larkin was played by Zooey Deschanel in the most recent made-for-tv version. I have always been fascinated with the spelling of her name, although I much prefer the spelling, Zoe. Scout is a nickname only for me, but it is cute.
Arden and Calloway have just gone right onto my name list, i LOVE them!! thankyou SJ x
A lot of these names are more nicknames to me. Sandy is usually the nickname for Alexander but I suppose could be that for Sandra & Alexandra too.
Aaah I'm so late to the video this week. 😭 When I was in preschool there was actually a girl in my class named Tiger! Only time I've ever encountered this one out in the real world. Antigone called Tiggy is so darling I'm in love! I think I'm with you and lean toward Nixie over Pixie (but bo Joplin for me definitely falls squarely in the "rockstar surname names" camp which aren't my favorite- but Joplin I like more than most. I'd say I don't mind Hendrix or Joplin, bit really dislike Lennon, Bowie, Jagger, etc. I ADORE Sybil, Lourdes, and Bronte 💖 While I don't care for Sandy personally I do like Sandra and Cassandra and it definitely falls in line with names like Nancy and Peggy that seem to be getting some love again. Trudy seems to fall squarely in that vibe too. I know it's super polarized but I like Gertrude more than Trudy (though Giertrue is my favorite variation and totally lends itself to True as a nickname!) Arden is one of those names that bucks my usual rules and I really quite like it and enjoy seeing it getting some use! The queen of free spirited is Stevie Nicks so that definitely feels right for this list. I love Pandora. I think people forget that she also released hope into the world.
Also already listened to the podcast episode yesterday! :) so glad season 2 is back

Sandy has become a dog name to me. Lol. It always remind of the dog from the old musical "Annie."
i love so many of these names. scout is so cute, i like it but not sure if i’d ever use it myself. tiggy is adorable 😭 but i think you could use it just as a nickname rather than a full name. like i’m ‘dolly’ by my dad even though it has nothing to do with my name. but i’m sure people wear it well as a full name too. i stand by the fact that if you’re just gonna name your kid by their nickname and aren’t in love with a full version, just pick the nickname but maybe some of these are just too nicknamey for me personally. lourdes i loveeee, maybe too cool for me just like all the others 😂. i bet a cool girl group in a movie or novel would have these names. tiggy, lourdes, marnie and scout! i also love sandy and calloway for boys! calloway was my all time fav name to use for a boy and then a girl at my school named her dog calloway 😭.. it’s okay i was only young and wasnt and still won’t have kids for a while still but i was gutted
My favorites are Sybil, Sandy, and Trudy because all of them seem more "normal" iykwim. I prefer Calla to Calloway. I tend to like names that are more traditional. I have a Daisy and a Charlotte on the way. I'm in The US, there aren't as many Charlotte's here and it's the only name everyone in my family agrees on. Her middle name is going to be Cassandra, after my late sister in law. Everyone called her Sandy.
Marnie and Calloway are my faves
I LOVE Scout cause I was in Girl Scouts, but I think I would make it a middle name. A big contender for a future girl (way in the future lol) is Cassandra Scout :) I also like Joplin, Truly, Arden, Stevie, and Larkin, and my mom's Sandra, goes by Sandy. :)

My middle name is scout but I was very nearly a scout as it was my dads choice but my mum didn’t like it and named me Eden-India Scout instead. I always hated my name growing up but it definitely grew on me as I got older 🥰
I know a family who named their kids Reagan (girl), Monroe (girl), and Pierce (boy). All US president names! I think it's so cute! I also know a girl named Liberty! Another free-spirited name!
Hi SJ! Since your husband is from Sweden, it would be amazing if you did a list of names that sound nice both in English and a Scandinavian language! My fiance is Norwegian so we will be raising our children in Norway, and so many of the names I like would be mispronounced here in Norway. Would love any suggestions! 💕
