It’s Jean-Pierre Fisher.

We call him fishie in the womb, we probably would use it until before he starts school or before he starts learning to use his real name. Fisher is a cute primary school-middle school name, until he transitions to Jean-Pierre as a respectable man.

We also took into account potential gender changes in the future in case he turns trans so he wouldn’t have to live with a dead name as, Jean is female-presenting as well 🥹

Dad’s initial is JF.

My family has an unspoken “tradition” to name a daughter after their father. My grandma is named after her dad, my mom after her dad, and me after my dad. Basically it’s just the dads name inside the daughters name. I love being named after my dad I think it’s sweet, and everyone’s done it in a normal way, no one has just came up with their own name. My fiancé’s name is Chase and I’d love to keep the tradition going. But all I can think of is Chasity and IMO it’s an awful name ( sorry Chasitys)
Any cute/pretty alternatives? TIA

Our vibe is classic, modern, not too popular but well known. First daughter after two sons, wed like something girly but strong. Middle name is tribute name:

Hey everyone! 😊

I’d love some help brainstorming baby boy names.
Here’s what I’m looking for:

First name that’s 2 syllables
More unique, but still easy to pronounce/spell
Needs to flow well with the middle name “Tony” (this is very special to us—it honors my husband’s brother who passed away 💙)
Last name is Matz

So the full name would be: First + Tony Matz
I tend to like names that feel a little cool/standout, but not too out there or hard to say. Something people hear and go “wow, that’s a great name.”

And if you have any “showstopper” boy names you’ve heard (the kind that really stick with you), I’m all ears!

Thank you so much in advance 🥹🙏

Our baby girl was born last week and we are still torn over what name to go with. We are deciding between Isla, Oona, Skye and Adeline. Our older son is named Declan, my family are all from/still based in the UK.

We are in BC in Canada, where Isla was the 5th most popular name for 2025. Oona is the most uncommon but have been hearing more and could be less "out there" as baby girl gets older.

We're not particular about middle names so dont have anything else the name has to work with.

I’m finding out the gender next week and I think we finally chose our baby name for each gender. We already have a 5 yr old daughter named Wren Everly so I wanna make sure these go together well.

Boy: Asher Thorne💙

Girl: Kaia Love🩷

It’s me again lol. I recently asked what everyone thought of the name Forest. While that’s still a contender my husband recently found another name that we both really like, but are unsure of.

Do you think the name Casper or Kasper is too out there? Considering Casper the friendly ghost? Please don’t hold back on your thoughts! I want to consider everything 🩵

can’t end with an A because my last name starts with an A, and i prefer shorter names bc my last name is long!

Hi all! Need all the name suggestions for a baby boy that go well with the last name Walker. Want to avoid other surnames as first names since Walker is also pretty popular as a first name. Thank you. 🥰

Current front runner for baby girl is Liliana . We live in east coast USA. I am American (with italian heritage & maiden name but culturally not very Italian, don’t speak the language / etc) and my husband is American with a German last name. We’re keeping his name as the family last name. I’m worried people will think Liliana sounds too Latin/spanish/italian?

Thoughts welcome!!

We need all the help we can get. My fiancé is set on old timey cowboy/outlaw names, and I have a name I love but he doesn’t like it. I’m open to other names, but I dont know how to tell him I genuinely hate his name suggestions and could never name our son the names he’s suggesting. One of the names he’s set on is Boone. When I hear the name Boone I think of a dog, not a human. Any good suggestions he may be open to? I don’t like unique or out there names, but I also don’t want something super common like Luke, Jaden, etc. to give a better idea, I like Wyatt, Waylon, Hudson, and other similar names to where they’re common but not overused.
I’m trying to make it to where we’re both involved with naming him since he’s ours, and I’m having a hard time finding a nice way of saying I hate his suggestions. Maybe I’m being overdramatic but I simply can’t name our son the names he’s suggesting. Before I got pregnant, we’ve both talked about how we don’t like the out there or uncommon names so I thought it would be easier to decide on one but that’s all he’s suggesting. We’re getting to the last few weeks of the pregnancy and I’m stressing over him still not having a name.

I really like this name do you think it would be too popular I live in Ireland and never heard anyone with the name here but idk 🩷

Our baby girl is due this summer and we’ve been going back and forth on names but both really love the name: Esme. We like how it sounds and that it doesn’t seem to be too popular (we’re located in the US where it doesn’t seem to be a super common name) However, nervous people might connect it back to the Twilight Saga book/movie series and think we’re diehard fans and named our baby after a character. Does this name make you think of Twilight?

Let me know what you think of this name or if any other similar names come to mind.

ss seeking advice/ console.

A name I have always loved (but didn’t name my first child) was used by now two close friends in our circle. Our kids won’t grow up together, pregnant with my second, was going to use the name. I feel so devastated it has been chosen but know I can still use it.

I am trying to come up with a good first name for my unborn son. I would like to name him after his late aunt Angelina, I’m struggling to find something. If anyone can help please do lol.
