Nick name help!

We named our little girl Raegann after the exorcist, and can’t think of nick names. The obvs is Rae but my brain is farting thinking of things.

Aurelia

Thoughts on this girl name? It is pronounced “aw-ray-lee-uh” and means “golden”. Nickname suggestions- we were thinking Auri 🤷🏻‍♀️
Middle name suggestions welcome too!

I’m looking for boy baby names and nothing is sticking to me..I’m white and his dad is black so we’re struggling to agree on the names. I like Amias or Amir but idk. Any Baby names starting with an A?

Cecily

Honest opinions on the name Cecily for our little girl - we are due in September and been struggling to find a name we both like - we want something pretty/ not overused but also not unheard of and one that people will know how to pronounce.
Do you think we could give her Cessie as her nickname (but pronounce is Chessie) or is that more like Francesca?! It’s just then we avoid it sounding like “sexy” if it does get shortened 🤣😆

Also any suggestions for middle name advice too would be appreciated !

Looking for first name thoughts

So we have two girls already, both their Mama and myself (Mom) are avid readers and love names they reflect that.
Our girls are Hathaway June and Waverley Sage. We found out that we were expecting triplets through IVF are now expecting 2 boys and another girl.
We love the name Montgomery Hayes for one of the boys and are set on that.
However we are coming up blank on a girls name we love as much as our other girls.
Help these Moms out.

We need: another girls name and some suggestions for our other boy.

Baby girl name !

I have came to two names for my Baby girl but I need help !!!

Magnolia & Charlotte

Another option for our subset of girls!

My husband’s favorite name is Charlotte nn Lottie… I’m not a big fan, I like nn Charlie but he doesn’t.

Having a girl in October! Would like help with name suggestions!

I would love to use the middle name Drew or Andie but am coming up with nothing for first names to go with it! First name suggestions that go with Drew middle name?

How do yall feel about this boy name?

Stuart Wayne? It’s a combination of my deceased, father and my husband‘s deceased grandfather.

Also what are some nicknames. I can only think of little stewy

What's your first thought after hearing this name?

I have been trying to come up with a name for my next daughter that matches the theme of my name and my mothers name. After so much thought, I came up with Kalisia (pronounced kuh-lee-see-uh). I love the nickname Kali for her. I'm worried that every time someone hears her name, they'll think of the games of throne character Khaleesi. I've fallen in love with the name I've come up with, but there's just that fear in the back of my mind. What do you think?

Naming our son

So I’m not sure how to tell my child’s father that I’m not naming him what he wants to name our baby for a couple reasons.
1. He only has his last name and middle name.
2. He picked out the first name
3. My son practically won’t have any ties to me.
We’re not together but even when we were I wasn’t comfortable with the name and just ran along with it to not cause drama. But now that we are together and most of the time don’t get along , I don’t want to give him that much power of his name.
I don’t mind giving him the first name as a middle name and both his and my last name but he went and got the name tattooed before we even agreed on it.
How do I tell him how I feel because honestly I already know the drama is gonna be horrible after.

Names that have the same old-school rambunctious energy as Woody, without being… Woody.

Maybe I’ve seen Tou Story too many times, but Woody is starting to sound more and more usable to me. 😂

Names from other countries… 🌍

What are people’s thoughts on using names from other countries/cultures when you don’t personally have ties to them?

I’ve fallen INLOVE with the name Rocco for our little boy, but we have absolutely no connection to Italy, where the name originates. My boyfriend’s dark features make him look Italian, but we very much aren’t. We are British. 🤣
I’m currently telling myself that if there are millions of little Luca’s around at the moment, why not Rocco? 😅

What do you think of the name Milo?

Big sister is called Lily, baby brother Milo?

Anyone still undecided on names?

I am almost 30 weeks and we still are nowhere near choosing a name! We aren’t finding out the sex so it makes it even harder as we need to consider 2 names at this stage. I have always loved Joshua for a boy and Minnie for a girl but hubby totally disagrees 🙈🙈
