Are you French or from a Francophone country? If not that name is super pretentious


That’s a weird hot take. It’s the Hemsworth’s mothers name and she’s an Australian teacher...hardly what I’d think of as pretentious.

Martin - not sure what we were thinking

Robert - would have been fine but we felt like we knew too many adult Roberts (close colleagues, etc.)

Linnea - I actually love this name but the name we picked fits her and the rest of the family better


Love Linnea and Whitney

There were no other boy names we both really liked besides the one we picked for our son (Henry). If our 2nd had been a boy we would’ve probably used the name Oliver as it’s the only other boy name we both sort of liked. Boy names were really hard for us!

For our daughter we strongly considered but didn’t use: Caroline, Lucy, Alice, Camille. I also really love the name Mary so it was top of my list but my husband doesn’t share my love for that name so it wasn’t on his list at all.

Boy - Spencer (we had one girl)
Girl - Gemma (thought it was too close to the uberpopular Emma and that people wouldn’t know how to spell/pronounce it. Still love it though.
