Siblings Lucas, skyler and Walker


I once met a couple who named their twins Luke and Leah. They didn’t know anything about Star Wars, and were really bothered when someone first asked them “oh, you really like Star Wars?” and they realized what they’d done.

But yours is better!

My son was on a soccer team with a kid named Attila. Like Attila the Hun

I looked up this name to see its meaning and such. So, apparently it's another spelling of 'Dream'??? According to Nameberry.

I guess it's the new 'Jinger' .

I could see Prudence and Patience being pretty cool names, actually. Though I feel everyone would want to shorten Patience because it's awkward to say, and the obvious way to shorten it is Pat or Patty, and ugh.

Relatedly, I have always loved the name Honor and would have used it if it had not been the name of someone I worked with at the time (which is annoying because I don't work with her anymore! but I felt like if I gave my DD the same name, and it was a fairly uncommon name, it would be weird).

I have no idea how you would even pronounce that.

But stats like that are why I just don't care about the popularity of names. Pick a name you love that sounds good to you. Even if you pick something super obscure and different, you might run into another one day. It's less likely, sure, but the point is that if even little Jream isn't original, nothing is. Just use your favorite name, even if it it's Olivia.

I worked at a camp and had a camper named Bucko. This was his given name not a nickname, as far as we were told. Bucko must be about 35 now.

Are you positive that's the full name? Not as a nn for Katherine, or maybe she just named her Kit?


I am. She’s been asked about it. Full name is Kitten. She then named her next baby Fox. Can’t make it up!

Next one should be Scat.
