The Ultimate Baby Name Tag

Hello friends! Yesterday I saw that Alena and Amelia, two namers on YouTube, created this Ultimate Baby Name Tag, and I had to answer it over here asap. Here we go!

  • 1. What is your own name and do you like it?
    • My name is Erin, which I don't like because it's so common and plain, and my middle name is Violet, which I love.
  • 2. If you have children, what are their names and how did you come up with them?
    • N/A
  • 3. If you had a baby boy right now what would you name him?
    • Declan Oliver - I love so many Irish and Scottish names, and Declan is in that sweet spot of not being too popular yet, but still familiar and easy to pronounce.
  • 4. If you had a baby girl right now what would you name her?
    • Isla Wren - Just like Declan, Isla is in that popularity sweet spot and is familiar and easy to pronounce.
  • 5. What would you name boy/boy twins, boy/girl twins and girl/girl twins?
    • BB: Beckett Theo & Calvin Scott
    • BG: Gray Caledon & Scarlett Waverly
    • GG: Stella Ingrid & Luna Tess
  • 6. What would you name your ideal number of children using all names that start with the same letter (or one letter for girls and another for boys)?
    • I would have two girls and one boy named Adeleine Grace, Audrey Linnaea, and Andrew Griffin.
  • 7. What would you name a boy and a girl using only names from your family tree (or the names of close friends and loved ones)?
    • Nathan Theo & Hailey Victoria
  • 8. Create a name for your child (You can choose the gender or do one name for each gender) using a.) a combination of your name and your significant other's name or b.) a combination of your parent's names.
    • I don't have a significant other, and I can't come up with anything good combining my parents' names.
  • 9. You enter a witness protection program and must choose a completely new name for yourself. What name do you choose and is their any special significance as to why you choose it?
    • Ingrid Kay - Ingrid is a name I love and (I think) has a bit of mystery to it, which is fitting, and Kay is my grandmother's middle name, and I think I would need her with me because I would be a terrible spy and she would be great.
  • 10. If you could create one rule parents had to follow when naming their children, what would it be and why?
    • Please choose a name that your child won't be ashamed of telling others as an adult; Rainbow Puff may consider changing her name when she's 18.
  • 11. Name a boy and a girl using only nature and place names.
    • Hudson Fox & Brooklyn Flora
  • 12. Name a boy and a girl using your own first and middle initials. If you don't have a middle name, select an initial of your choosing.
    • Eli Vance & Esme Victoria
  • 13. Name a boy and girl using names from the most recent data of top 100 baby names in the US.
    • Gavin Isaac & Ruby Olivia
  • 14. Name a boy and a girl using names from the most recent data of top 100 baby names in the UK.
    • Leo James & Emilia Lucy
  • 15. Name a boy and a girl using names from your favorite TV shows and movies.
    • Larkin Jude (Hairspray, The Fosters) & Nora Wendy (Friends, Full House)
  • 16. Name a boy and a girl using names of characters from books and literature.
    • Ezra Felix (The Beginning of Everything, Finding Audrey) & Cosette Grace (Les Mis, The Fault in Our Stars)
  • 17. Name a boy and a girl using rare letters, Q, X, Y, and Z.
    • York Zander & Zara Quinn
  • 18. Name a boy and a girl using names that, for whatever reason, you would never use in real life.
    • Caledon Michael & Linnaea Wren - I love both Caledon and Linnaea, but I'm not sure people would ever pronounce them correctly, and I don't want to put that on my kids.
  • 19. If you could rename a celebrity baby (or celebrity baby sibset), which one would you pick and what would you rename them? Alternative: choose the name of a friend or a friend’s baby that you don’t like or whose name you feel doesn’t suit them and rename them instead.
    • I pick the Busby girls; the Busbys are a reality TV family who have one older daughter and one set of all-girl quintuplets. I don't have a particular issue with their names, I just like the challenge of styling a sibset that has quints.(Note: I'm going to challenge myself by keeping their initials and finding new names to fit them.)Their names are Blayke Louise, Olivia Marie, Ava Lane, Hazel Grace, Parker Kate, and Riley Paige. In that same order, I would rename them Bailey Lauren, Oakley Madelyn, Addison Leigh, Harper Gabrielle, Peyton Kara, and Reagan Paisley.
  • 20. Any last names? Do you have any names that you didn’t get to mention in this video that you have been liking recently, heard recently, or were reminded of during this post that you didn’t get a chance to mention? If not, what’s the coolest name or the worst name you’ve heard recently?
    • I don't want to share any other names I love just yet - I'll be posting my Top 100 Names in a few weeks, so you'll have to wait and see! As far as cool names, I recently watched a name video on YouTube, and the mom had twins named Louis and Linnaea, and Linnaea happens to mean "twinflower;" how cool!
A special thanks to Alena and Amelia for creating this tag; I'll link their videos for you to see their answers.
