Baby Naming Consultation Examples

Baby Name Consultation Example #1:

A and her husband  wrote:

We've been trying to come up with names for baby #2, and are not LOVING anything we've brainstormed so far, so we need all the help we can get!

Here's what we're thinking so far:  Our daughter's name is Lola, which we were dead set on from the beginning, which was lucky because the sex was a surprise and we had zero boy names lined up. This baby is also a surprise. We have a girl name ready to go for this second baby, but we are again struggling with boy names and boy middle names.  

So far we have Killian, Otto, Maddox, Merrick, Jameson, and Malcolm. I'm much more open to non-traditional names than my husband is, but I think I could probably sway him if it was the perfect fit. I'm also a teacher and would love something that's a little less common or recent.  We would both love for the name to flow with our daughter's name.

For the most part we're not nickname people, so we would prefer to have names that can stand alone or not be shortened unless the shortened version is something less traditional.

For middle names, I think we're leaning towards names that we generally like and would go well with the first name. I think the only possible family name we would use as a middle name would be Thomas, however I'm not a huuuge fan.  

Names that my husband has vetoed include Silas, Micah, Jonah, Booker, Felix, Luca. I've vetoed Banks (because all I can think about is the Mighty Ducks) but honestly have forgotten most of the others he's recommended. 

Consultation Details

First of all, I love your daughter's name Lola, such a bold, feminine name and one I don’t hear too often! I also love the girl names on your list for this baby, fantastic options! From all of the names you’ve listed (both boy and girl names), your style feels very vintage, timeless, and ahead of the trends. All of your boy names are quite uncommon*, but not at all trendy. I get a “guy-in-the-beanie-at-the-coffee-shop”, old soul kind of vibe. They are all very cool names; familiar, and yet I don’t think I personally know anyone with these names.

I’ll start by commenting on the list of names you’re currently considering.  I’ll include other ideas that are similar to the name on your list since theoretically, none of these have been “the one” for you yet.   *When I comment on name popularity, this is from the 2020 social security data.   

Malcolm:

Malcolm is a strong name; very familiar yet very uncommon. I really like it and think it goes well with Lola. Malcolm Xavier was coming to me as a solid first/middle combo, until I realized you would then have your very own little Malcolm X. I also like the alliteration of Malcolm Maddox. Other names that have a similar vibe that you could consider are Calvin, Harvey, and Tucker. They’re old school names that don’t feel outdated.     

Otto:

Extremely uncommon at #386. While aesthetically it’s different from Lola (very German, a bit more harsh sounding with the double “t” consonant in contrast to the soft “L”s in Lola), I think it compliments Lola nicely in that they’re both 2 syllables and 4 letters. I like Otto Jameson or Otto Merrick. Another “O” name that has a similar feel, though more on the vintage side, is Oscar, with Oz as a cute nickname.     

Maddox:

Of all the names you listed, this is the only one that has a slightly trendy feel and doesn’t fall into the generally vintage style. It had a big jump in popularity in the early 2000s, likely as a result of Angelina Jolie’s adopted son, but it actually plateaued and has stayed around #150 for some time now (it is between the names “Jesus” and “King” in popularity…if that gives you a sense of how often you’d come across another Maddox).     

Killian:

This is the other name that is slightly different from the rest of the names you have listed (including the ones from your second email)...the only Irish name! It does not have a real Irishy-Irish feel like Sean, Patrick, Aidan, etc, in fact, I’m sure a lot of people wouldn’t even know it’s Irish. It definitely fits with your list in what I’ll call the “cool factor”. I can see the guy in the coffee shop…sipping his nitro in his beanie…having this name ;) Killian Thomas works well together, as do Killian Jonah and Killian Merrick.   A few other Celtic names that I think fit your vibe are Seamus (pronounced Shay-mus), Rhys (pronounced Reese or Reeze) Ronan and Flynn.   

Merrick:

Aside from Merrick Garland I have never heard this name used before, but I like it! Apparently it jumped into the top 1,000 for the first time after the Supreme Court saga with Garland back in 2016. That being said, I don’t think your kid would have to put “Merrick L.” on his worksheets at school to clarify which Merrick ;) For middle, I like Merrick Jonah. Lola and Merrick…I like it. A few other surnames as first names you could consider are Bosco, Wells, & Soren.     

Jameson:

Another surname…Jameson is a great name! Of all the names you’ve listed, it’s the most popular at #79, which is still not very popular at all. I think it’s slightly less playful/more regal sounding than some of your other names, stylistically. It would sound great with a one syllable middle name if you have one you like, for example Jameson Mac or Jameson Brooks. Harrison, Graham, & Miller are some other surnames of similar style to consider.   

Okay, moving on to my list of 8 fresh ideas (and I’ll add that I actually had Silas, Micah, and Felix on my short list until you told me they had been vetoed! Glad you mentioned that so I could go back to the drawing board).    

As I considered your style, the first names that came to mind were Ezra, Sebastian, Oliver, Julian, Jude, Asher…all names I like for you however, these are common enough names you’ve likely already thought of/considered.

The common denominator between all of your names is that they are quite uncommon; I tried to keep this in mind as I thought of some new ideas for you to ponder.

Jennings:

This surname is pretty phonetic and filled with familiar sounds, but is not a first name you hear often, if ever! It feels related to Jameson but a little more unique and maybe a little less preppy? I think Lola and Jennings both have the “cool factor” and make a great sibling set. Jennings Merrick/Jennings Thomas are my favorite first/middle combos, but Jennings would also sound good with a one syllable middle.    Simon: A familiar classic that’s rarely used these days! It has an old soul feel. Simon and Lola definitely drives home a vintage aesthetic. I like Simon Xavier, Simon Jonah.   

Briggs/Brig:

This is another surname that reminds me of Banks, but a little less Mighty Duck! It feels like a fresh take on “Brooks” which is getting quite popular. I knew a kid growing up named Brig (hard “g”) which I actually like better, though more likely to be mispronounced! Surnames that end in an “s” have a slightly preppy feel, but Briggs also brings a bit of a western feel to add a little grunge to that prep. Briggs and Brig are both great options.   

Penn:

Penn and Lola go so well together! I love that Penn is short and sweet, but original and fresh without feeling trendy. Penn Merrick, Penn Jameson, and Penn Booker all sound great!   

Hugo:

Hugo definitely has the old soul/vintage vibe. It’s a sweet name that works on a baby but also suits an adult. Hugo Malcolm and Hugo Merrick are nice combos.   

Callum or Callan:

Both Celtic surnames and are similar to Killian, and equally as uncommon. Their style is light and modern but “Cal” is a natural nickname that gives the name a more old-school vibe. Callum can actually be used as a nickname of Malcolm (which doesn’t totally make sense since it’s not any shorter) but just to say I do think both Callan/Callum fit your style and go great with Lola!   

Remy:

Remy is a sweet name that matches your style, though perhaps a bit more modern. Remy and Lola sound attractive together; for middles I like Remy Jonah and Remy Felix.   

Gideon:

Gideon is in the same family as Hugo- definitely vintage. It does have biblical roots but is no longer pigeon-holed in that name category as it has become somewhat more popularized, likely from use by a few celebrities. That being said, it is still very uncommon (#323) and would be a unique name for your little guy! Gideon Otto and Gideon Merrick are strong names!  

I hope that this baby name consultation has given you some food for thought and either helps you feel more sure of one of the names on your list, or has given you some new ideas to consider! Happy naming!!

Baby Name Consultation Example #2

Rachael was expecting baby number 2 in June to join big sister Alina Monroe. After recently going through the name debate for their first daughter, they needed some fresh ideas for #2.

Rachael writes:

My favorites are Marin, Aubry, Lily, Rosie, Kennedy, Isla, Nora, Charlotte/Charley, and Ava. I also love Addison/Addy but unfortunately it rhymes with our dog’s name. [Her husband’s] favorites are: Andie, Lyla, Laila, Piper, Paisley, and Reagan. I also like Andie a lot too. Some family names we’re interested in using as middles are Irene, Rose, and Marie. My grandma was Josephine which I also like. I think we both feel like we had such common names growing up that we want something a little different for our girls, so I wouldn’t use Charlotte, Ava, and Nora for that reason. I also want the girls’ names to sound good together.

Consultation Details

Definitely some great options on their list! First of all, the one thing I’ll say about wanting to avoid a “common” name: these days the top names aren’t nearly as commonly used as the top names 30 years ago. In 1950, almost ⅓ of kids born had a top 10 name (think: Mary, John, William, etc). With so many parents these days striving for uniqueness in a name, we don’t see the top 10, 20 names used with as much frequency. So I say, if you really love a “popular” name, just go for it!   Now for some comments on your existing ideas (and I have to add- it’s hard to find a name that doesn’t sound good with your last name, everything just has such a nice rhythm with it it makes me like them all!).  

Comments on Existing Ideas  

James’s likes:  

Piper, Reagan, Lyla, & Paisley all have a trendy feel, and yet aren’t overly common. I think Lyla fits the best with Alina stylistically, though it is a lot of “L”s when you say them together, if that matters to you! 

Andie

I love this. Andie Rose is my favorite option; it balances a more androgynous first name with a feminine middle. Andie and Alina would be very cute for sisters.  

Rachael’s likes  

Marin

I love Marin! Such a pretty, simple while also unique. As another variant of the name Mary, it can also honor your family member with the name Marie. 

Isla

Not too different from Lyla, although it is more common at #44 (vs #118 for Lyla). Again my only hold up would be that it is somewhat similar-sounding to Alina. The spelling Ayla is much less popular, though probably mispronounced more often. 

Charlotte/Charley

I know you said your friend just used Charlotte/Charley. A less common, but very cute nickname is Lottie. Alternatively, you could use Scarlett instead of Charlotte, still pretty trendy but not quite as popular as Charlotte. 

Josephine/Josie

Josie is so cute and you don’t hear it much these days, and I love that it would honor your grandma. The only thing you’d have to be careful about is if she picks up the nickname Jojo, you may not like the sound of that with your last name. 

Lily

Lily is a great name. Because Lily and Rose are such classic feminine names, I don’t think of them as floral so I think it’s okay to use Rose as a middle with Lily.   

Nora 

Nora is a very sweet name. It may feel overused to you, but it is actually #30 most common girl name, surrounded by names like Chloe, Hazel, Grace, Victoria, & Lily. So it may feel more common than those names based on the geographic area you’re in. If you like Nora, perhaps you like the less popular but similar-sounding Cora? 

Ava 

Ava is a beautiful name but yes, at #3, she will most likely come across other Avas. 

Avery

is similar-sounding, but less common.

Kennedy

This feels trendy right now, I know 2-3 that have been born in the past few months, I wonder if it is catching on and will jump in popularity over the next few years?   

Name Haul (new ideas)

Evie:  Can be full given name, or can be short for Evelyn, Everly, Eva. Alina and Evie are both feminine and sweet. 

Evie Rose would be a really cute combination. Since you want to incorporate the name Irene for your mom/grandma, but it is a little outdated, you could use “Ren” as a way to honor them. Evie Ren is a great combo. You could even add a “w” and use Wren as a first name if you like it. Two-syllable names that end in an “-ey, -ie, -ee” sound especially good with your last name.  

Emmy. Nickname for Emerson, Emery, or Emilia. 

Emerson Rose is cute, or Emilia Ren, though Amelia was the #6 most commonly used name in 2020. Emmy would also work if her given name had the initials “M.E.” like Marin Eleanor, etc.  

Violet

Flows with your feminine aesthetic. I think it could be cute to use James as a middle name for a girl [after her husband]. Violet James has a balanced aesthetic!  

Poppy

Such a sweet little girl name. Poppy Rose feels heavy on the florals, but Poppy Ren, Poppy James, or Poppy Josephine would all be great options!  

Remy

This name is a little less in line with your general style, but I thought of it since James had Reagan on his list, since both are used across genders. Remy Rose would be a cute combo. Could also spell it Remi if that sounds more feminine to you?  

Ruby

An oldie but goodie making its way back on the scene. Such a sweet name for a little girl, and works when they become a grandma too ;). Ruby Rose, Ruby Ren, and Ruby James are all solid combos. Bonus if she ends up being born in July, it’s the birthstone!  

Eloise

So many cute nickname options- Ellie, Loulou. Eloise Rose is tough to say with the double “se” ending but Eloise Marie, Eloise Josephine both sound great!  

Vivienne nn Vivi 

Another one I think goes well with Alina. Vivi Rose, Vivi James both cute options. Though rising in popularity, it still hasn’t broken into the top 100 girl names.  

Clementine

This is my hail mary. It’s definitely different from your general style, which is why I wanted to throw it in there for you to try on. Alina and Clementine?! Precious. Clementine Rose is very cute combination. (Can be pronounced Clemen-teen or Clemen-tyne. Clemmie is a cute little nickname.

Baby Name Consultation Example #3

Mae and her husband Chris were looking for a girl name to go with big sis Anna, which was a family name. They had given it SO much thought and wanted to have a name packed with meaning and connection.

Mae writes:

Her husband loves Camilla and loves the nicknames Cam and Milly. I like Camilla, but tend to prefer shorter names - maybe Camille. Camilla is the name of a favorite book character for both of us.

  • Both like  Zoe (Anna to Z), Willa, Louise, and Madeleine.

  • Some names that I like but Chris vetoed: Sasha; Dora; Corinne

  • Some names that Chris likes but I vetoed: Abigail; Charlotte; Sophia

  • Some names we both like but feel "too big," or somehow appropriative of cultures/connections we don't have: Wilhelmina; Willela; Winifred; Theodora. 

  • Tend to like more traditional feminine names as opposed to unisex. 

  • We both like names with a family connection and/or names from favorite books/series (Dune; Locked Tomb; The Expanse). I like names with a positive connotation from the Hebrew Bible. Chris likes names from Greek mythology e.g. Euridice, Persephone.

  • Some names that have family significance are Elizabeth (though don’t love it or the traditional nickname options), the initial B is special for Grandma Betty (nickname, "Betty Blue"), and Doris (could Dora or Dove work?) and Estelle, but not sure Stella feels right.

  • Other special initials are R and L, which I would be happy to include from family names of folks who have passed.

  • Nothing that recalls Anna and Elsa from Frozen, please.

  • Prefer no "y" ending

Consultation Details

You have some great names on your list AND fantastic family names ripe for the choosing! I hope that this consult gives you some food for thought and either helps you feel more sure of one of the names on your list or has given you some new ideas to consider! Happy naming!!

Comments on Existing Ideas  

Camilla/Millie:

I LOVE this name. I love that it holds significance for you and I think Millie is an adorable nickname. I am also a big fan of alliteration so you get that too…Camilla Cleary sounds great. I think Camille changes the aesthetic slightly….from a little more graceful/delicate to more French and artistic-sounding. 

There is a flower connection with the Camellia, which is neat given your hobby! She would have her own little symbol. For a middle, I like Camilla Ren (for Irene), Camilla Dove, or Camilla Elise (for Elizabeth).

Zoe:

Great name and love the A to Z theme. Like you said for some reason the rhythm of Zoe Cleary works…maybe the emphasis on the hard Z at the beginning, or the fact that it’s a shorter name even though it’s still 2 syllables? Either way, I’m okay by it! Zoe Estelle is a cool combo, but I also really like Zoe Dove- something very sweet about it.

Louise:

Vintage and timeless, love this name. Louisa is also a beautiful name. Both go well with Anna stylistically and carry the adorable nickname options, Lou and Lulu. You could also throw in a “C” middle name (Louise Camilla or Louisa Camille) and use Lucy as a nickname (Lou + C). Lucy and Anna go very well together. 

Willa:

Willa has a literary and vintage air to it. Familiar but quite uncommon. Willa Dove is a very sweet combo. I also like Willa Ruth (R + Hebrew connection) or Willa Roisin (R + Irish connection). A name that is a style match for Willa that perhaps has appeal is Iris (also with a floral connection as well as Greek Mythology- goddess of the rainbow!). Though still uncommon at #127*, Iris is making a comeback in the “oldie but goodie” category. 

Madeleine:

I love this classic beauty. I’m sure you’ve considered this but the only thing to be aware of is that her friends are bound to shorten this to Maddy/Maddie, even if you drive home Madeleine. Another option is Maddalena with nickname option of Lena, which would honor the “L” family member. 

Sasha, Dora, Corinne:

I love the name Sasha, c’mon, Chris! Perhaps Corinne feels a bit outdated. Alternatively, Cora has similar sounds but feels a little more modern. Greek mythology connection→Cora was another name for the goddess Persephone! Cora Blue, Cora Dove, Cora Elizabeth, Cora Elise all work! 

Abigail, Charlotte, Sophia:

All beautiful, classic, feminine names but your husband is showing his cards as a billboard top 10 kinda guy ;) Abigail is down at #13 now, but all very popular names (for a reason, they are universally liked! Not always a bad thing). 

Wilhelmina, Willela:

Wilhelmina is German; you actually do have a connection to it if Chris has some German roots. Willa would be a natural (and quite familiar) nickname option. Willa, though uncommon, has risen dramatically in popularity over the past 20 years. Willela I have never heard of and can’t find much information on!

Winifred:

Winifred has a very old-fashioned feel- I think it would be a bold pick for her to go by Winifired or to put it in a more positive way, you’d be “ahead of the trends”. But if you would use the nickname Winnie, I think that’s not only palatable, but adorable!

Theodora:

This is a distinguished name (and very Greek!), but I don’t think it’s out of bounds for you. Esp with nickname options like Thea and Dove, I think it’s very usable! 

Jessica:

Jessica is definitely a different style than many of your other names (more “90s”), but I see it’s from Dune! I will point out that while you know many Jessicas, they are probably around your age. Your daughter would likely be the lone Jessica in her school/friend group as it’s very uncommon now at #399.

Juliet:

This is a great name; literary, feminine, artistic. So it’s a bummer that it’s been used by a close friend. A few names that are style matches (in Baby Name Wizard) are Violet and… Camilla! 

Elizabeth:

Buckle up, Elizabeth is the equivalent of the dictionary entry for the word “run”....lots of options here. Elizabeth is beautiful on its own as a first name, but I get that it can feel boring. Aside from the nicknames you listed, there is also Elle, Ellie, Ella, and Elsie…all of which probably draw a little too much of an Anna/Elsa connection. Elise and Liesel are also options- elegant, feminine names, and work even more if you spell Elisabeth with an “s”. Liesel is a beauty and draws on Chris’s German heritage! Liesel could also be used as a middle name + a great way to incorporate Elizabeth AND use the letter “L”.

And though not as intuitive, Tess is also a nickname for Elizabeth! Anna and Tess would be very cute together.

However, another traditional (but not often used) nickname and my favorite option for you is Lily. What I love about this is that you get a heap of meaning: not only from using Elizabeth, but her nickname would start with “L” and bonus, I love the connection to your hobby of floral watercolors! Both girls then have a flower as part of their name. Both Elizabeth and Lily are timeless names that go so well with Anna. Elizabeth Dove and Elizabeth Ren are great combos. As you may know, Elizabeth has Hebrew roots! It was derived from Elisheba/Elisheva (Hebrew origin) as does the name Lilith (though it appears Lilith was not the most favorable character in the Bible).

Betty:

Watch out for Betty…Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds using it for their youngest daughter + the Taylor Swift song “Betty” which revealed their child’s name could make this grandma name an up-and-comer. You could use “Bette” as a middle name or “Blue” as a middle after “Betty Blue”!

Doris:

You’ve got me stumped with Doris, aside from Dorrie which i think is actually a cute, younger-sounding nickname for a very old-fashioned name. I like your idea of using “Dove” which makes for a very cool middle name. Sounds like Chris doesn’t love Dora as a first name…any chance Dara has more appeal to Chris? It could still honor Doris. Major bonus, there are not many names that tie to both Hebrew and Irish culture, but this one does! The Gaelic version is Darragh. (It also means “star” in one language…connection to Estelle!).

Estelle:

Stella would be such a sweet name to honor Chris’ grandmother; a modern, spunky take on Estelle. You could also obviously name her Estelle and call her Stella, Essie (so cute!) or Estee. You could also use Esther (meaning “star” + positive biblical connotation!).  Another way to honor Estelle would be the name Aster. Asteria is the titan goddess of falling stars; so it combines Chris’ love for Greek mythology and the “star” connection from Estelle. Aster Ruth (getting in that “R” + Hebrew connection), Aster Lily/Liesel (getting in that “L” connection + honoring Elizabeth), or Aster Blue (after Betty!). Nova, Luna, and Seren are other names with the meaning star attached to consider.

Name Haul (new ideas)

Margot:

I had this on my list for you and then saw that it’s also a character in Dune (I hope one who makes favorable choices!). It’s a familiar but uncommon name and has vintage, feminine appeal. If you want a longer name with nickname, you could use the beautiful Marguerite with Margo/Margot as the nickname. Anna and Margot pair really well together, and Margot Cleary is flawless! For middles, Margot Elise (honoring Elizabeth), Margot Estelle/Stella, Margot Irene/Ren, and Margot Dove are all great options. 

Seraphine/Seraphina:

This name has Hebrew significance but also seems to fit your naming style, it’s feminine but has a whimsical, artistic aesthetic (it sounds like some of the Greek mythology names to me!). Sadie would make a cute nickname (as you likely know Sadie is a nickname for Sarah, thus the connection). Obviously Sera is another nickname option. I think Seraphine/a has the creativity of some of the names you felt you couldn’t use like Wilella, but the biblical connection makes it fair game. Seraphina would sound nice with a one syllable middle (Seraphine Ren/Dove), while Seraphine has more flexibility.

Quinn:

Quinn is a short and sweet name that has Irish roots and is a character in Locked Tomb. While it is a more androgenous name, it’s ranked #85 for girls vs #440 for boys, so much more often used with girls. Quinn Cleary sounds so cute! For middles, I initially thought Elizabeth, but then it sort of sounds like you’re saying Queen Elizabeth…so scratch that and how about Quinn Elise to complement Quinn with a feminine, delicate middle that honors Elizabeth! Quinn Irene is also pretty.

Eilis/Eilish:

This name is an Irish variant of Elizabeth (pronunciation can be Ay-lish; more common, or Eye-lish). Alternative (and more common) spellings are Ailis or Ailish…derivatives of Alice or Elizabeth. I love this name, I think the phonetics are beautiful and it’s a way to tie in both the Irish and Hebrew connections AND family significance honoring Elizabeth. Eilis Dove, Eilis Rhea, or Eilis Ren/Wren are all beautiful combos! 

Sorcha:

Here is another name that combines both your Irish and Hebrew roots and while it doesn’t have a connection to Greek mythology or any of the literary series, I think it fits those styles of names! You could tell me this is a character in Dune and I would be none the wiser. Sorcha is an Irish name (pronounced Sore-kuh or Circa). Though there are not technically direct roots, in Ireland it has been associated with the anglicized name Sarah (the connection I’m drawing to your Hebrew roots!). 

Selene/Celene:

A timeless feminine name with Cece as an adorable nickname option. Selene is the Greek goddess of the moon (point for Greek mythology! “Selene was said to drive the silver moon chariot – drawn by two white horses – across the sky every night” – I love this!) and I think you could claim a nod to Grandma Estelle with the shared celestial meaning in both names (moon + star). In terms of spelling, Celene is more French-sounding and Selene has Greek roots. Selene Ruth would add a Hebrew connection to the name + letter “R” for Robert. Daphne: Turns out (as Chris probably knows) the Daphne of Greek mythology was a beautiful nymph who was turned into a laurel tree to escape the advances of the god Apollo. Not sure if the meaning speaks to you, but again a connection to Greek mythology as well as botanical! I feel similarly to Daphne as I do about Zoe in terms of the “e” ending not being problematic with Cleary. It is familiar but not often heard (ranks at #415). Daphne Dove is memorable! Daphne Irene/Ren and Daphne Elizabeth/Elise also work nicely. Anna and Daphne are both timeless, sophisticated names.

Beatrice:

While this name doesn’t have any significance to the many connections you named, it struck me as a name that may fit your style. It sounds good with Cleary and has a sweet nickname in Bea. It’s unique but definitely hotter on the scene than it was 20 years ago (it has gone from 970 in 2000 to 550 in 2020). As they put it in Baby Name Wizard, Beatrice “marks the boundary between prim and proper old lady and quirky retro cool.” Anna and Bea sound sweet together.

Selah:

Okay, I couldn’t pick just 8 names. Last one! Selah (pronounced Say-luh) is a beautiful, simple albeit unique name with Hebrew origin (a word in the Bible meaning to pause or reflect). Selah Cleary sounds great and despite the fact that it ends in “a” like Anna, the sounds are different enough that they pair nicely. Selah Dove, Selah Irene/Ren, Selah Elise all make nice 1st/middle combos.
