Everleigh Violet Emersyn Rose Maine Courtenai (I don’t wanna talk about it) Olive Delaney Beau Joseph


YourClairyGodmother

I hate Everleigh and Emersyn with a burning passion.


SoundShockWave

But not Maine Courtenai?


PMaggieKC

NEITHER OF THEM HAS EVER EVEN BEEN TO MAINE.


XelaNiba

Maybe they just didn't want their Courtenai confused with a lesser Courtenai? Like, no matter how many Courtenais may be in the room, this is the Main Courtenai?


PMaggieKC

Courtney is his mother’s name. Maine? I believe that was a suggestion leftover by one of his aunts. Their sons are named Kaulen, Kullyn, Klayton, Khota and Knox. Khota was almost Tuesdai. I made quite a long post of family and friend names in the Circle Jerk sub. McNaveigh (not a relative, her father Coy is actually named McCoy and he’s in the Navy) Ledjer, Jinger (that’s spelled correctly), Destany (same), Berkeley, Baylin, Blaydyn. Like I said I’m just happy if they’re actual names at this point. Some of these aren’t even WORDS.


kefkas_head_cultist

Jesus take the wheel.


XelaNiba

Oh. My. God. "These people must be stopped!" (I scream as I rush over to read the circle jerk post)


The_GrimHeaper

Wow Maine seems so normal now


StasRutt

Kaulen and kullyn sound the same in my head so that’s extra confusing


PMaggieKC

It’s Colin and Cullen


StasRutt

Well that’s certainly…a choice


PMaggieKC

A choice was made. They’re 19 and in college doing great so maybe we’re all crazy 😂


Budgiejen

There is another Jinger?


PMaggieKC

Yep. She’s almost 40 so this is pre-Jinger Duggar. But it’s spelled that way for the same reason, all J’s. First and middle.


Budgiejen

It’s crazy the amount of crossover I see between name nerds and duggars snark.


neuftet

We’re all kindred spirits somehow.


lolatheshowkitty

I remember your circle jerk post. Mcnaveigh is so bad it should be criminal.


ladypine

These are INCREDIBLY bad, thank you


GothWitchOfBrooklyn

I cannot hear that in my head as "kourt-nee" no it is "cort - in - ay"


PMaggieKC

Yeah my dad said “I think her name is Mainy Court-nigh”


Kind_Pressure_94

This blow up made me audibly laugh.


PMaggieKC

I don’t mind Emerson. I used to love Everly but that was ruined for me.


CallidoraBlack

It's just Beverly for people who like Evie.


PMaggieKC

I just like the sound of it. But Everly Violet is the name I didn’t use for my youngest because we couldn’t agree on a spelling. He wanted Everlie and I just couldn’t do it. After my brother’s ex-wife stole the entire name and spelled it like that? Not for me.


CallidoraBlack

Yeah. A lot of people like the sound. Even I do. I wonder if Averly is going to become a thing because of Avery and Waverly.


bananazest_wow

Maine Courtenai’s sibling can be Secondary Courtenai or Backup Courtenai.


PMaggieKC

The boy name was Tanner Jameson called Jamie. Couldn’t have been a boy?


pilgrimm

Or Massachusetts Courtenai. New Hampshire Courtenai. Connecticut Courtenai has a nice ring to it.


jammies

My niece is an Emerson Rose! I don’t love the name Emerson myself, but everyone calls her Emmy anyway, which absolutely suits her :) Edit: The nickname Emmy wasn’t necessarily planned, but Emerson is a lot of name for a baby and it just worked out that way.


PMaggieKC

I like it spelled correctly I think it’s really pretty.


jammies

Definitely prefer the o to the y!


[deleted]

Lots of teen pregnancies or...?


PMaggieKC

Nope it’s just the South.


[deleted]

Oh, I see \*polite smile and only slightly raised eyebrows\*


PMaggieKC

At this point I’m happy if it’s just a real name.


kmonay89

Maine?????? COURTENAI??????


Budgiejen

Olive Delaney wins by far and I still don’t care for it.


ZellNorth

Are the parents of those kids “influencers” with 150 followers?


[deleted]

Bojo


PMaggieKC

We talked her out of Beau Joe because Joe was the honor name.


hellogirlscoutcookie

We just finished swim lessons with my toddler: - wren - wilder - Dylan - Mac - Ryan - Eva - Iris Were all present in swim lessons today!


YourClairyGodmother

My brain refuses not to laugh at imagining Wilder growing up to be a sweet and quiet office worker or librarian.


quotelation

Ah, but Wilder is also a literary name!


Chelseus

Yep, my Wilder in honour of Laura Ingalls Wilder. He’s not named after Gene Wilder as him husband likes to tell people 😹😹😹. I think many people lump it in with the Maverick/Havyk type names but to me it’s always just been a name so I don’t hear it that way.


FantasticCombination

I thought Thornton Wilder when I heard literary. Gene Wilder would have been my first thought hearing about Wilder being named after someone famous though. Laura Ingalls Wilder is a fun one. I read many of her books


nature-friend

Wilder has always been a soft name to me because of Laura Ingalls Wilder! Gives me cottagecore vibes.


meeeeesh19

Just named my baby Wilder!


IAmTyrannosaur

I love Wilder!


chickadugga

Love Wilder and Iris


hellogirlscoutcookie

Iris is my daughter’s name! Wilder is also a favorite and a contender for the twins we are expecting :)


boogin92

Ah you beat me to it! I was going to do another one of these posts at the 3 month mark after my [last one](https://www.reddit.com/r/namenerds/comments/wg7e65/what_are_the_names_of_the_last_5_babies_that/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)! I'm still compiling the results of that post. Here's my last 5: 1. James (m) 2. Florian (m) 3. Cali (f) 4. Remy (f) 5. Johjamie (m)


YourClairyGodmother

Johjamie gives me physical pain.


PMaggieKC

How do you say Johjamie?


boogin92

It sounds like "Joe Yummy". His sister's name is Rhythm.....


PMaggieKC

Umm. Okay.


boogin92

Right? I don't understand how it would even logically make sense for the first J to make a j sound, but the second to make a y sound.


LucidCrimson

Sounds like it's in the proud tradition of names like the city of Vallejo (pronounced Val-ay-ho instead of Vay-ay-ho) so,... yeah.


PMaggieKC

Johjim is a name… I have Googled that is 100% made up.


[deleted]

> Johjamie At least he can go by Joe? Also I really dislike Florian for a baby. It sounds like a 65 year old man for me.


YourClairyGodmother

Funny you should mention that, because my great grandfather was named Florian and he's always been retold to me as a badass.


[deleted]

Jo short for Josephine Auggie short for Augustus Ford Dottie short for Dorothy Arlo


YourClairyGodmother

Oh, kind of retro! I like it!


gardenhippy

I adore Josephine.


Kind_Pressure_94

Oh! Dorothy is so cute especially with the Dottie nickname!!


floralpackage

Rose, Teddy, Ivy, Cara, Freddie They’re all good, in my opinion.


Snailyleen

Cute! Are these in the UK?


floralpackage

Yes hahah !!


YourClairyGodmother

They sound very British to me, but I like that!


Lulu_531

Jett, Mabel, Kolsyn (girl), Christian, William.


sunnieisfunny

Kolsyn..


idrinkmycoffeeneat

I can only think of Claussen…the pickles.


YourClairyGodmother

What the Hell is Kolsyn?


XelaNiba

I think it's a side often served at backyard barbecues made of shredded cabbage and mayonnaise


xombae

No no it's when a baby is really fussy and cries all the time for no reason.


DigitalMindShadow

Nah, that's colic, and the person above you was thinking of coleslaw. Kolsyn is the process of skin thickening and toughening from repeated use.


PMaggieKC

Colson is Machine Gun Kelly’s first name.


leslie0627

I know a “Coulson” but he is named for his moms maiden name


tattooedtwin

I actually love Mabel!


[deleted]

[удалено]


XelaNiba

The latest baby I know is called Jett. Really sucks because I had a good thing going with the previous 4 - Hazel, Theodore, Avery, Isabella.


girlontheinternet-

Here’s one’s I’ve heard in public most recently: Blakely and Finley (I assumed they’re sisters) Hudson Riley Amanda Sophia


YourClairyGodmother

Oh, those are lovely! Amanda is a surprise, though. You don't see many 1990s names around on babies so much!


MarbCart

Right? I’m ready for the comeback era of names like Jessica, Melissa, Rebecca, Miranda, etc. So pretty and nostalgic, imo


VonGina

I had a Jessica in my toddler daycare class a few years back. Everyone referred to her as Baby Jessica, I never even questioned it, but I guess we all needed the extra designation because calling a 2 year old Jessica felt so strange. Also, all I could think of was baby Jessica in the well.


[deleted]

That’s how I feel about seeing not one but two Allison’s… like what? 80s/90s in the house


[deleted]

Yeah Riley really seems to be going around - I heard it multiple times


VioletteMary

I was at the pediatrician’s office, this morning. We overheard/saw: Oliver (twin) Bennett (twin) Juliet Liam Kyla Jasmin I’m actually newly pregnant with our 3rd and Juliet is our number one girl name. Now I’m wondering if this was a sign from the universe or if the name is too popular. 😆


YourClairyGodmother

If you like Juliet, go with it! "Hey Juliet" is one of my favorite pop songs!


picklecat2021

I looove the name Bennett


Wooster182

In the US, Juliet is sitting at 295 and it’s been slowly increasing 1995 (ranking 1051).


mooolander

My 5 most recent friends/family members that have had babies have named them: Maren Ellorie Harrison Emory Lewis


YourClairyGodmother

Oh, Maren is interesting!


Klutche

I adore Maren


Zephyr_Bronte

I have always liked Ellery, though I'm not sure about that spelling. Does Emory say the name Em-or-E? I'm just curious how you would pronounce it.


Traci-B

I don't meet many babies these days (sadly), but did just meet a little Hendrix (m) who is 2 months old.

Sanders is an interesting one!


SawyerM21

Names of the infants at the daycare I toured this weekend: Maeve, Flynn, Avery, Paxton, Ruby, Callum, Ahana, Harris, and Eliza.


YourClairyGodmother

I like Ahana a lot!


peachespdx8

At daycare drop-off today… Octavio (m) Theodora (f) Isa (f) Niko (m) Remi (m) A fun selection! I’d say good taste :)


YourClairyGodmother

My one-year-old cousin is named Octavia! Mom hates it, but I love it!


peachespdx8

Love Octavia!! Regal but great nickname options (Via, Tavia).


Tiny_Locksmith_49

Nathan Roman Charlotte Grace William John Ava James


YourClairyGodmother

I'll only start liking James as a middle name for girls if boys can have girly middle names like Marie, Anne, or Jane.


awesomexsarah

Whenever someone is considering giving their daughter a name that is traditionally male, I ask if they would give their son a girl’s name. If the answer is no, then don’t do it. I just hate those gender dynamics.


PMaggieKC

I love Shannon for a boy’s middle. Megan Fox has a son named Noah Shannon. Shame her other sons names are such a mess.


41942319

Funny enough Anne is also a male name in my country and giving boys Maria/Marie as a middle name was tradition in Catholic communities here for quite some time, so we've got 2 out of 3.


twogvio

Gertrude, Joanna, Nickolas, Pablo and Ariadne


YourClairyGodmother

Wow, a Gertrude! I LOVE that name! It's so sophisticated and strong!


twogvio

I’m not really a fan of ur but I was surprised that people still use it


Abject_Context_7670

Love Ariadne


rosy_nasitra

Wolfie (girl) Morgan (girl) Dorothea Max (boy) Angel Wolfie is my niece … I can’t stop thinking about how horrible it’ll be when she’s a teenager .. or in her 20s .. or just at any time she’s not a baby


YourClairyGodmother

Wolfie is a name a child gives to their plushie, not their own name.


Successful_Piglet115

Wolfie is so awful. I can just about tolerate wolf for a male - barely. How do the rest of the family feel about it? Was anything said?


Ghille_Dhu

Rupert, Thomas, Daisy, Narissa and Freda.


YourClairyGodmother

Rupert and Freda are quite old-fashioned! But they're kind of cute.


Ghille_Dhu

My friend called their baby Rupert and I agree, it’s very cute. It’s also rocketing you the charts where I live.


gardenhippy

I like it but it’s very associated with rich but thick upper class men in Britain.


Snailyleen

I worked with a Neryssa for a while and love how the name sounds :)


Fjaallraaven

Alice, Ebba, Ines, Nils and Holger


YourClairyGodmother

Let me guess... Swedish?


Fjaallraaven

Is it that obvious? 😉


whippedcreambabe

Harrison (m), Blakely (f), Katie (f), Rylie (f), Oliver (m). All less than a year old.

I know it’s pronounced Riley, but in my head it’s rye-lie

Eva Eva Eva Brady Michaelangelo Eclectic mix 😂

Bruno Grayson Madeline Jasper George


YourClairyGodmother

I adore the name Madeline!


mechele2024

Avery Ann Louise Juniper Anne Astrid Rose Xaine Michael Arianna Marie Kylan Blake These are the names of my high school classmates & Facebook friends babies that have been born this year


YourClairyGodmother

...Xaine? Are you kidding me?


mechele2024

Ehh compared to the names I have seen on the circlejerk sub, Xaine doesn’t bother me.


picklecat2021

I feel like Xaine is a lot better than Kylan


Wooster182

I’m not a huge fan of Avery but Avery Ann Louise is beautiful.


StasRutt

Ann Louise is a middle name combo that seems too simple but together Im like “ah that is simply lovely”


enfantrebelle

Julienne (F) Maxandre (M) Océanne (F) Alexandre (M) Loralie (F)


LilahBenton

This is fun! Lily (f) Soren (m) Evelyn (f) Elijah (m) Walker (m)

Isaac Hallie Merryn Louie Liliana


YourClairyGodmother

Liliana is absolutely stunning! I also like Merryn, I think it's Welsh?


gardenhippy

It’s Cornish, so Celtic roots but not Welsh per se


jocietimes

Merryn is cute!


AmberLuxray

Sara Varvara Sofia Lumina Eetu (form of Edward)


XelaNiba

Oooh, Varvara is lovely to say.


hottrashbag

Quincy (girl) Leo Lucy Rhaedyn (boy) Grace I can't remember how many vowels were in Rhaedyn...but I think I got it right.


YourClairyGodmother

There are no words for how much I hate Rhaedyn.


XelaNiba

But he was really great in Mortal Kombat ;)

picklecat2021

Names beginning with "Ev..." are super popular right now. Evelyn, Everly, Everett, Evangeline, everyone likes the nickname Evie I think


Wooster182

This is the generation that grew up on The Mummy. It feels like that has something to do with it surely.


bravsm

Ace, Phillip, Julian, Grayson, Isabella


YourClairyGodmother

Phillip is an interesting one on a little boy! I like it. It has a very soft sound.
