Felix gray is a pretty good name too

If you're trying to find a middle name, the best tip I've come across is to yell their whole name like you would if the child was in trouble. If you can't easily yell it then it's not the right middle name.

I do this as well I was originally going to name my son Jedidiah Douglas but that did not yell well I ended up naming him Jarnez Douglas which I love and have never heard before. I came up with it after watching the comedian Arnez J, my son goes by JD which was the plan all along.

2 second Tip, add your child’s name as a contact in your phone. That’s how you get Siri to recognize it!

I love your personality so much honestly!!!

We just had our first baby 8 weeks ago. Didn’t know the gender through our pregnancy. We had a girl! We named her Matilda Louise. So many nicknames! We call her Tilly, but figured we could also call her Tilly Lou. And when she gets older she could go by Tilda like Tilda Swinton. Of course, there’s also Matty, or Mattie. The boy name we had on deck was Shepherd Nearing.

We are naming our daughter Silvie Nicole. We love the meaning of Silvie, ‘forest’, and Nicole is my middle name. It breaks the syllable rules, but we love it anyway.

Winslet is an adorable option if your leaning towards the celebrity names.

We named our daughter Alita which could be shortened to Ali, Al, Lita, Lee. We actually call her all sorts of things. I definitely see that not being a name you would choose with your daughter's names.

Lawrence is our new son's name! its soo low on the charts but i love it and soooo many nick name options: Law Lance Wren etc etc

Watching this a year later and already knowing what baby name y'all went with, it tickled me how casual you were when you'd gotten to that name on the list 😂 Did you already know what you were wanting to name her when you'd made this video?

My cousins name is so unique but has been becoming more popular… Brenley! Love it ❤️

My daughter is Rory. Not short for anything just Rory. I’m obsessed with names, as well.

"Vienna is really pretty too." Yay, I'm glad you like it! ;) I have a 16-month old daughter named Vienna. I also have a younger sister named Sienna (yes, my parent's family mixes them up haha).

Names need to be able to mature with the child! Totally agree!

We picked a name in the top 10 and I wouldn’t commit to it even though I liked it for probably 18 hours after she was born. I was quizzing all the nurses and doctors who came in to my post partum room. The paediatrician said, “hmm I don’t have a lot of patients with that name” and I finally was fine with it. My husband has a top 10 name and he doesn’t think he had that bad of an experience growing up with it. Everyone can spell it and knows how to pronounce it. Whereas I had to correct people or just silently Seethe when I was too shy, because Hayley is so often misspelled. I’d love to get more creative with future Children’s names!

I love Elizabeth's when they use the nickname Libby

I did the same timeline with our son name! And this is how I presented it to my husband - worked!!!! He's name is Gio. 🤗

My name is Celeste!💙 I was so tickled pink and surprised when I heard it come up because it's never really on baby name lists! But I'm so grateful to my mom for picking it, it's so pretty (tempted to use it in my child's name...👀)

We named our daughter Eloise and love the nickname Elsie instead of the more common Elle or Ellie.

Great names! One of my favorites is Sonnet.

Emberly means “fiery meadow” and I love it.

-You can do Celeste with Esty as a nickname 😉 -Also, there's a baby name lady on KZread with a daughter named Evalina (ev-ah-leena), which is like Evelyn, but not popular. And you could call her Evie!

It would be cool if you had The Minimal Mom (and maybe even her twin sister too) on your podcast! They are both mom’s, became moms at different seasons in their life, and might be able to provide your audience some good ideas in the way of downsizing a minimalism with children. Sarah Therese too! I know she isn’t doing KZread anymore but maybe she would do a podcast 🙂

That was my grandmother’s name. It’s beautiful.

When I was pregnant with my daughter my husband and I wanted to do a mash up of his name (Andy) and my middle name (Lynn) but we felt that "Andylynn" looked way too messy so we opted for the spelling "Andelyn". It is pronounced "An-duh-lyn". Andelyn is a totally unique name and we have never met another. We get compliments on her name all the time. The only frustrating thing is that it is often mispronounced as Andy-lyn or as Add-uh-lyn so we have to correct people a lot that it is AN-DUH-LYN. Her middle name is Rose. Andelyn Rose, we love it.

I’m an Isla! Spelt Islah though, was a super unique name now it’s like number one baby name in NZ.

My daughters name is Alayna like A-lay-na. Absolutely love her name, it’s Alayna Sophia and it just goes so well together. I call her Laney for short which is a name I wanted to name my child since I was 8 years old 😂

Emersyn for a girl is super cute too

Having no nickname opportunities for myself growing up, I was adamant about having a versatile name for my daughter! We went with Juniper actually-it’s cute/playful but also pretty and naturey. The only problem is everything thinks I’m saying Jennifer or Jupiter when I introduce her 😂

We have a 4 month old named Allison. My husband gravitated towards popular names from mid to late 80s, basically names of girls we all went to school with. I loved the nickname Allie.

Along with my boys names which I shared on the boys video I have 3 girls - Aria Rose, Eliana Grace and Harlowe Elizabeth

Late to the party with adding names, but a name I love also happens to be the name of a girl I went to high school with. And if I named my child that, it'd be very obvious where I got the name from because she's the only person I know with that name. (Albee) I did meet a previous coworker with the name, but he had the male version (Albe). So it unique, I'd just be nervous to do it. I guess they could take it as a compliment though? I also love: Annika, Maura & Saraya for girls
