Name my Baby!/ Your fave name

In My Humble Opinion
1

I’m only just at the end of my first trimester, but of course i’m making my baby name list. I could always use some help… especially with girl names… but i’m acceptiong boy names as well since we wont know the sex for another 6 weeks or so.

So help name my baby! Throw out your favorite names… Even those secret baby names you don’t even tell your friends because they might steal them… I mean, I probably live on the other side of the country than you so why does it matter!:smiley:

PS) My fave boy name is Jackson. I LOVE the name Jack! But i’m open to others…

PSS) Our last name starts with a ‘D’.

Male:
Magnus

pronounced the correct Nordic way: Mahc-noos Say the first part sharply and the second half quickly. Done correctly the “g” should come out as a soft “k” or “c” syllable.

Female:
Eva = ey-vah

My favorite real* girl names are Alexandra and Alyssa.

  • As opposed to names in fiction; something like Galadriel is a pretty name but naming your child after a Lord of the Rings character is tacky and likely to cause Issues.

I like Robin. Some name books say it means “Bright fame”. Has good connotations (cute bird, famous outlaw), can be used for a boy or a girl (though it’s mostly a boy’s name in my experience), is easy to spell. Not too common, so you won’t have a bunch of kids in class with the same name as you. What’s not to like? Was one of my top contenders, though we ended up going with something else. If you’re Catholic and interested in saint names, Robin is a diminutive of Robert so any Saint Robert (there’s a bunch) can be your special patron saint / buddy / guardian angel / life preserver.

Although “Dustin” is a somewhat odd-sounding name, if you name a boy that you could always call him “Dusty”, which I think is one of the all-time-coolest nicknames.

Depends on how it goes with your last name that starts with D, of course - it could be wonderful (“Dusty Drummond” or "Dusty D’Angelo sound good) or dreadful (“Dusty DeSoto” is too much dehsehtehdehsehteh)
