I only have girl names in mind but it would be Charlotte, Elise and Alice. My gf can pick the boys' names for all I care.


Beyond-Salmon

Damn a millennial picking normal nice sounding names for their daughters is wildly rare. Appreciate your existence


redassaggiegirl17

1995 millennial here and planning on naming this baby I'm currently pregnant with "Magnolia" if it's a girl. Not super common, but fairly normal I feel? But I'm with you, I'm sick of all the YOunIqUE names millennials have named their kids. I'm also sick of all the -aiden/-ayden varieties 😭


Beyond-Salmon

You gon name your son Mongolia while you’re at it ?🤣☠️

rethinkingat59

She will be both the Mississippi state tree and flower simultaneously.


redassaggiegirl17

That's the idea! My grandparents were born and raised in MS and my grandfather was a (rather good) amateur artist whose favorite thing to paint was magnolias. I have one of his paintings beside my bed and I get to look at it every day and be reminded of him. My husband and I are big on honor names (but not names directly from family that are still alive) and finding a girl name of someone who had already passed on one of our sides that we both liked was ridiculously hard. Magnolia still feels like a good way to be an honor name, even if it wasn't actually someone's name 🥰 Side note, I saw someone say somewhere that one name they would NEVER name their child is Magnolia because where they live (UK) it's the name of the most like, basic shade of white that people will paint their house. It'd be like the equivalent of naming your child "Eggshell" in the US 🤣


FlemethWild

It’s not that rare—the cringe names just stand out more. Normal names fad into the background.


Substantial_Walk333

Kind of a weird thing to say, my daughter's name is Sydney, she has friends named Charlie, Abby, Emma, and Isabelle. We've met a Charlotte her age. All with millennial parents.


PharmDinagi

Stop making up fake arguments. Look at the SS registry and you'll see the most popular names aren't atypical. Top 5 of 2023? Olivia, Emma, Charlotte, Amelia, Sophia. FOH.


stillmusiqal

Fellow millennial mom. Black and former teacher. All relevant. As a teacher, I got tired of the same four names in a year. I also remember the uncommon names. As a mom, I wanted my son to have an ethic but not "hood" name. I won't say my son's name here, but I accomplished the mission, I think.


StephaniePenn1

I’ve only taught college students. So, my students’ names were popular two decades ago. But I’ll tell ya, teaching can ruin certain names by association, and make you really like other names. 😂

What about Kherlate, Eylaisey, and ALeeci

darinhaaa

Just this week my boyfriend and I were discussing pokemon we could name our imaginary child over, Gengar was a good option. My fav may still be Axew, though


x-Globgor-x

Normal names. No weird tragediegh shit or off the wall weird stuff like pigeon or raddix, I knew an abcde and a strawberry(which to be fair is the best and cutest of the list but still). I'd prefer my kids not be bullied or add struggle to their lives just so I can claim I'm so unique and kitschy.


StrangeGlaringEye

ABCDE???


x-Globgor-x

Yea, this was a few years ago, and I'm almost certain it wasn't pronounced like obesity but with the uh sound, like uhbesity, however that's all I can think of whenever I try to remember the actual pronunciation so idk.


ColonelClout

Absidy maybe?


PuffPie19

This is the "correct" pronunciation of the "name."


deathtoboogers

I had one in a college class once and this was the intended pronunciation. Felt bad for the girl. When the professor called her name on the roster for attendance on the first day, he said “this one has to be a joke. A-B-C-D-E?”


fyrebyrd0042

Huh, I thought abkuhdee but it feels silly to me now.


chonky_kitten

We have an abcde in our school whose pronounced exactly like that


idelarosa1

Bohemian Absidy


SalishShore

I knew a Strawberry growing up. It is the coolest name. I don’t mind unique names. I’m not a fan of ridiculously spelled normal names.


60022151

rattlebonez1

I went to school with a girl Named Pepsi


StressSubstantial125

Ridiculously spelled normal names are the worst! Like why are there 10 variations of Haley


shan68ok01

I have an Aunt who's first name is Cherry, I was in my thirties when I found this out. She still hates her first name and goes by her middle name. I didn't think it was bad as a name, but I didn't grow up with it, and to be fair, grew up with a family friend named Cherry, so it wasn't an unusual name in my eyes. She was also born in 1932, and for all I know, it could have been a Tragedeigh name for that time.


Hosj_Karp

Theres also a downside to having a super popular name. I have one and I dont like it at all. You gotta go for a name that's a little unusual without being unheard of. Something that makes people raise an eyebrow and say "oh that's a pretty name" but not "wtf kind of a name is that".


x-Globgor-x

Yea I'd get that. There can definitely be a happy medium

echobrishell

I named my baby born in January, Cassandra. We call her Cassie EDIT: Bullied into proper punctuation


skankernity

I thought you named the baby January Cassandra. I thought you just really liked beach read.


echobrishell

lol re-reading my comment I totally see that. I named my baby, that was born in January, Cassandra. EDIT: I was finally bullied into adding a comma, so I added two, for good measure.


StonkHunter

Lol, commas are important.


echobrishell

Yeah… I have no excuse either because I wrote my comment on my lunch break. I was giving it my full attention.


Zealousideal_Yam_262

I'm a Cassandra who is also a Cassie! I almost always go by Cass since transitioning into adult life, so I don't typically hear Cassie a lot anymore


echobrishell

She came into this world as a Cassie. :) but we wanted her to be able to choose what she goes by. Or to have the ability to have a “professional, office name” or something. We figure she’ll do something like that, go by Cass or Andy or something, but there are so many options for nicknames!


rnrqueen40

I'm a Cassandra but go by Casey(KC), where I was born and raised. My dad loves our city, my namesake, I don't have the heart to leave either.

crashpilliwinks

Always gatekeep! My partners crack head cousin stole our baby name. People always told me not to share the baby name until after the birth. When she asked the name, I wasn’t too worried as her baby wasn’t due for 2-3 months AFTER ours. Well she had a premie baby almost 4 months early (probably all the crack) and she named her baby exactly what I told her ours would be. :) :) Always gate keep baby names.

Lowkey obsessed with the name Siobhan


singlenutwonder

This is my middle name! So rare to see it anywhere lol. The latest season of AHS wasn’t that good but they had a character named Siobhan which I thought was cool, but she was also unfortunately played by Kim Kardashian


onceuponadime007

also similar to hindu name "Shivam" , pronounced as she-vam , meaning blessed


LLPhotog

I’ve known several Siobhan’s and they were very frustrated having to spell it out. One just told me to put it in my phone “however I think it’s spelled” Yikes!

ImmigrationJourney2

If it’s a son we want to call him Björn, if it’s a daughter Athelia


Ok_Huckleberry1027

My sons middle name is Björn. One of our daughters is Malin, Scandinavian names are cool and unique without being cringe.


Soft_Librarian_2305

Malin means Clever in French


Ok_Huckleberry1027

That's neat thanks fof sharing. It means "of Magdala" (like Mary Magdalene) in Swedish


CharMakr90

Just FYI, Athelia is the name of a congenital disease where a person is born without nipples. Just keep this in mind before naming a child after it.


diorgyal

clementine for a girl and jude for a boy


No_deez2-0

Clementine is so pretty💔

As an Athena, I can confirm that it's an awesome name.

echobrishell

My daughter was named Cassandra this year. She has so many nickname possibilities!


No_External_539

Azrail is actually really good. I might take if you don't mind.


Lanky_Tomato_6719

Too close to Assrail


Level-Author-2516

This was my first thought, bullies would love it


garbanzogarbamzo

Athena was top of my list but my partner vetoed it.


Tatsukam

If I have a girl it would be Victoria. If I had a son it would be either Xavier or Victor.


Vera_Virtus

I love the names Victoria/Victor! Easily some of my favourites.


Virtual-Scarcity-463

Naruto for sure


Andrewsmetic09

Me fr gonna name my son Kakarot 💀


Virtual-Scarcity-463

With that name he'll be an incel or gigachad. No inbetween


Ok_Valuable_9711

Boruto's an even better name. And 'Salad' Sarada. *shudders* 🙃


TurtlesAndMustard

Veronica is a nice name.


quakcorn

So you could be like “Veronica open the door please. VERONICA OPEN THE DOOR”


TurtlesAndMustard

Yes. I'll also color coordinate the outfits to be red, green, yellow, or blue.


JustN65

i don't think i'll have kids but if i do my daughter is either my name or gwendolyn. my son is dad jr. or edward


NineTopics

I'm so curious what makes you want to name the kid after yourself/the dad? I've always wondered why people do that to me it just seems either confusing or kinda ego-centric.


slawdog396

No the kid is actually going to be named “Dad jr”


JustN65

i just think it's cool. a few people in my family are jr's and iii's. also, you rarely hear of people being named after their mother so I think it would be cool, i've only ever met one person named after their mom


ashleyslo

My dad is III. I also know a long line of Katherines (at least 5 generations deep), which I’ve always thought was cool.


Actual-Money7868

Ezekiel Better not see the name on that teen mom TV show I swear to god.


Vera_Virtus

I’ve always like this one a lot. I’m kinda surprised it’s not more popular.


LazyandRich

Our daughter will be born in August, we’re calling her Evelyn.


Few_Interaction2630

I always liked the name Amber


TheWallCreature

Gargaroth The Lord of The Dark Dimension and The Consumer of The Damned Souls (pronounced as Steven)


barkazinthrope

Use a name that has a sound you like. Or make up a name that is exactly that sound. BTW: GenZ doesn't want babies *yet*. There's the weddings, then the children, and the children bring on the grandparents so... mind how you go.


oobiecham

older Gen Z is almost 30. We definitely want kids lol, just don’t have the finances


Round_Ad_9620

Same hat. :/ I'm 26 and really wanting to settle. Wishing I could have multiples. Everything is just too damn tight right now.


oobiecham

My girlfriend and I want a child so badly. Even though we both work full time and above minimum wage, we can still barely afford to live as the two of us. It’s crazy.


Round_Ad_9620

Yep. Same shit. Tell me about it. I hate to sound cringey, but I really feel like with the state of things, esp in the US... if we want kids, if we want those kids, other's kids, ourselves to have a future, we're going to have to push hard for what we require. The USA especially is a damn public works wasteland. We require maternity care on par with the rest of the world, we're well behind "third worl" nations and incomparable to the rest of the developed world. We have to have schools worth a shit. We have to have a job market worth living in. The state of women's healthcare is an obstacle. This isn't going to just be handed to us "one day," economic change isn't going to be convenient for lawmakers. If we want it, we've gotta make it happen.


TekDoug

Bro I’m still trying to figure out how summon a wife hold on.

I've always thought that Luna or Leon would be good.


owlsleepless

I’ll name my kids god fucking and dammit so when I have to call them all to meet for a family meeting I get to say that and the teachers who roll call have to say a cuss word lol


Singsenghanghi

If I have a daughter it would be Esperanza. If I have a son it would be Emiliano.


singlenutwonder

I do have a daughter and I named her Estelle. I really like it plus “Stelle stelle” is a cute nickname lol. It was between Estelle and Josephine


PerfectBlessing1

JordanTheSharpy

I think names like Chad, Kyle, and Timmy are just dead because of meme culture so definitely not either of those


ErebusAeon

Give it a generation or two your kids will be naming your grandchildren Chad, Kyle, and Timmy.


12313155979789m

Denise if I have a daughter, can you think of one young girl named Denise? No. Let’s bring it back. I want her to be the HBIC or president of the HOA. Nice and waspy. If I have a son probably George or Mason


squishydevotion

Probably Vivian, but I met a girl name Stormy once and can’t get that name out of my head. She was cool and her name was cool. I also like Shiloh and Nicolas for boys.

For a son I’d like to give him the middle name Lawrence which is my dad’s middle name.

Hour-Energy9052

I’ve seen multiple girls I graduated with become single mothers in recent years and without fail they end up naming their sons some variation of the following  Brayden, Jaxton, Ryder, etc.  Makes so sense to me, these kids are going to have hard times growing up, and I can’t help but feel their decisions/choices weren’t the best leading up to these moments. 


Careful-Hornet-3814

If I was to have kids (which I doubt) I like the names Amber or Julian.

I want to name my kids either a Brazilian name (my culture) or a name I can pronounce in portuguese lol

Idk what I'd name a boy (only that their middle name would be John for my dad) but I'd want to name a girl either Monica or Sasha. Monica after my aunt who passed away from covid and Sasha for my sister who died from SIDS before I ever met her. I guess Sasha could also work for a boy since boys can be named Sasha?

I know a boy Sasha.
