I used Evander and I get so many compliments and so far everyone can read it and spell it. Love that we were brave enough to use it. Got the idea from one of your videos!
-
I was adopted but recently connected with my birth mother. She told me that she had planned to name me Andromeda. I just love that. Would not have been wearable back when I was born, but I think it is now. Meanwhile I use it for my sassy alter-ego.
-
To whoever submitted the name Cordelia, you should definitely go for it! I named my daughter Cordelia 2 months ago, and we get compliments on it all the time! The name I submitted for this list was Adrasteia! 💖

as a gymnastics coach and a name enthusiast (i’m a writer not a mother currently aha), it’s always interesting when i come across names i can’t stand (especially when they belong to naughty children…), but similarly, i’ve found a lot of names i love from my job, such as clementine and olive! who were luckily also very pleasant natured young girls who left me with a good name association!
-
My girl is called Birdie, I’m forever happy I was brave enough!
-
My baby’s name is Lavinia- I wouldn’t have been brave enough, but my husband loved it! I’m surprised at how many people have never heard of it- I think it’s known a bit more in the UK. People are surprised by it when they hear it, but when we tell them her nickname is Vinnie they all think that’s cute 😊
-
My family has a Walter, Ernest, Vivian, and Mimi! Never thought we had adventurous namers in our family. They’re all really wearable!
-
Frédérique is a common girl name here in Quebec!! Lovely video SJ, so happy to see you in back in your element sorting through all our baby names 😅😅 Looking lovely as always xx
-
I want the Barbie name list! This was a fun one to watch. Athena is my cats name.
-
This is one of my favorite baby name videos! What an abundant list!

Atlas is the name of a Greek Mythological character. He was cursed to hold up the heaven and is often depicted holding the world on his shoulders. Atlantic and Atlantis are from the character Atlas meaning "sea of Atlas" and "island of Atlas." A collection of maps was first called an atlas in the late 1500s. So, there's a little history in case you want to use the name and folks think you're naming your child after an object. BTW - my guilty pleasure is Fairlight.

Meabh, Astrid, Loxlie & Salem are names i loved for a girl. But they were vetoed by everyone lol And for boys, Seamus, Fox, Beau, Caspian, Gus and Gideon ❤️ just beautiful Also, my Grandmother's were named Beulah and Oma Jean which i think are unusual and beautiful!
-
Holiday Sybil is a full name I will be using :) I love Murphy for a girl. I love soooo many of these names
-
I love the names Sistine, Alexandria and Aviendha. To me they are all such powerful names that I don’t hear being used.
-
Mine is Meadowlark possibly with Mel as a nickname. The bird has a sentimental connection for me so it's still very much on my middle name list, my current combo for it is Lucy Meadowlark.
-
Calliope is my daughter's name, she was born in March this year. I absolutely love it, but no one has ever heard of it when we tell them her name and we get a lot of weird looks 😂 hardly anyone has told us they like it, so this makes me feel better!
-
So many cool names! I’m past the baby naming stage of life so at this point I think my interest in baby names is a guilty pleasure in and of itself, haha! My top guilty pleasure name of all time is Augusta nn Gus. That was my great aunt’s name. I adored her and her name! At the moment I’m really into old man nicknames on girls. Bertie, Charlie, Teddy, etc.
-
My daughter is Sloane! She was almost a Shane because someone has used Sloane before I could. Glad I went with it—I light up every time I hear it!
-
So many of my favorites are on here (team Thisbe reporting for duty!) I hope lists like these help people to have the courage to use the names they really love by seeing that loads if other people love them too. 💖
-
I only know this because of the song "What Else Can I Do?" from Encanto, lol - I believe with Jacaranda, the J is pronounced more like an H, so Hah-cuh-ran-duh 😊
