Sibling was Justice.




We have couple of kids from Africa named Justice at my school.


Blessing, Charity, Justice, Prince, etc are all popular in S. Africa.


King (#150), Prince (#318), Queen (#959) and Princess (#774) and are all ranked on the SSA top 1,000 list. Interesting to me its clearly more popular to give these types of names to boys.


It's interesting, because I think the name Regina (or Reggie) is a fine name, but there's something about names that are English words that aren't named after plants that's always been weird to me. Or how Jesus in Spanish is fine, but Jesus in English sounds weird.


What about names like Joy, Faith, Felicity, Welcome, etc.

Words in English but not flowers, many with a Quaker background (or perhaps thats my bias I grew up near a Quaker community).

Ea
A version of Althea, that became Thea and then Ea

Yes, someone actually named their daughter that. It was a beautiful baby, such a pity about the name

I knew someone with a one letter full name (like "O" or "X"). It actually worked well for this person, but when they were applying to colleges, the online applications didn't fit their name. They had to call customer support to deal with it. So please don't name your child one letter.

There are LOTS of them! It’s a popular name.


Yeah, at this point Navaeh is so common that it doesn't bother me (not that I'd choose it). It's like how names like k
Kayleigh have no historical significance. *Shrug*

I agree Caelyn is terrible too, so might as well saddle the other one with Eryn so it's equal at least.

I recently came across an Instagrammer with a little girl Sutton. I can get behind a lot of the unisex, surnames as a first name but this is a hard no from me. I think it's the glottal stop, and it reminds me of mutton. And I keep saying in my head "Suck suck suckity Sutton"


Nooo...Sutton Foster the actress is pretty awesome!
