Help Name my Baby

You should name it what my parents almost named me

Boy: Aniket, Siddhartha

Girl: Anuradha or Uma or Shibani

What, your baby isn’t Indian? Don’t sweat it.

From my family tree, girl’s name (can’t be too clear with this group):

Vera

Also a very nice weapon. :smiley:

Oonagh/Unagh/Una is pretty common Irish girl’s name.

I do personally agree that Irish girl’s names are a bit on the guttural side, and the nicer ones have obnoxious spellings. I much prefer Irish boy names, but most of the good ones are now very common (Ryan, Aidan, Ciaran, Cillian).
I can make a pretty good guess at the age of my patients in my current GP practice in Belfast, which is in a Nationalist (Catholic) stronghold.

Attracta, Perpetua, Carmel, Cornelius, John-Paul, Geraldine, Benedict, Eugene, Fidelma- all over 40.

Saoirse, Caomhin, Aoibheann, Aednat, Roise, Rionach, Muireann, Ultana, Coinneach, Deaghlan, Aengus- under 15

Ryan, Ronan, Bridget, Mary, Kathleen, Patrick, Declan, Dermot, Liam, Brian, Ciara- any age.

Our daughter’s name is Deirdre, and we love it - thankfully, she does too!

Ah yes, a genuinely lovely name Monty Python’s ruined for me; Coronation Street didn’t help.

It’s unlikely I will ever be a father, but I am fascinated by names. My tastes in names are eccentric.

Girls: Adelaide, Agatha, Agnes, Alana, Alberta, Amity, Antonia, Arabella, Apollonia, Esther, Athena, Aurora, Beatrix, Wilhelmina, Roberta, Calliope, Cassiopeia, Dolores, Edna, Edwina, Electra, Eugenie, Eunice, Philippa, Florence, Winifred, Genevieve, Georgiana, Georgette, Geraldine, Gertrude, Henrietta, Jordana, Jezebel, Keturah, Matilda, Maxine, Paulina, Paulette, Persephone, Romana, Raphaela, Ramona, Saskia, Seraphina, Thomasina, Thora, Verity, Xaviera, Zafira, Atia, Vivian, and Hypatia

Boys: Bartholomew, Jasper, Jarvis, Horace, Lazarus, Magnus, Orson, Oswald, Felix, Romulus, Seamus, Wolfgang, Amos, Boaz, Otis and Ptolemy

Interesting, the wiki link didn’t mention, does that affect the sound of things going by overhead?

I know a Conan. Had an aunt Verna.

Anikan (yes, someone named their kid this)
Terrance
Alan

Name her Antea. I know you said nothing that ends in la but check out Acushla. It means “beat of my heart”

I’ve always loved the name Kerry for a boy. Not so uncommon when I was growing up; probably not so common now.

Also good for a girl, but probably more common.

I just read this the other day, it says that one in five parents regret the name they chose. I’d especially watch the “too-creative” names, personally. For what it’s worth:

Also, congrats!

I like names like Kerry and Tracy for male sims, but you’re right, they’re not common boys names anymore.

Haha. Someone’s been watching the movie Harvey.

I only have ideas for girls but these are all names of people I know, but I only know one person with each of these names.
