Baby Name Consultancy - YOUR TRICKY BABY NAME DILEMMAS!! SJ STRUM

[@juliamore-no]

I love the name Elowen Clover, it looks beautiful written out

[@SJ_Strum]

It’s super nice - I love clover with love in the middle ❤️

[@juliamore-no]

@@SJ_Strum I never noticed until now, but that is adorable!

[@dawnmarieandjeff]

Gorgeous!

[@Luckyforus686]

Lyra Fable made me gasp out loud! So pretty Elowen Bliss and Romy Magnolia are also gorgeous

[@ApiffneeBroadcast28]

Same! It’s stunning.

[@amyjoydiehl7917]

Love to see your troubleshooting with your clients. So many fun combos with the sibsets. Thanks for sharing, SJ ❤

[@SJ_Strum]

Ah thanks Amy! It was quite tricky! I got loads more so will keep sharing some ideas x

[@steffi9536]

Hi Sj thank you v much for answering my middle name dilemma for Tawny! ❤❤ Tawny Juniper is pretty perfect ... only thing is I have a Juno as a 1st name already (which obv I hadn't mentioned). I am really thinking Damson is the cutest little name that I wouldn't have thought of! ❤ I don't really know of Tony Danza so it didn't come to my mind. I suppose seperating it is also an option with a 2nd middle!xx

[@bearclaire]

Tawny tallulah would be cute

[@amay4203]

Loved this so much, please do more! ❤❤❤❤

[@SJ_Strum]

Ah I’m so happy! Thank you xx

[@jessp4840]

You’ve just got such a lovely charisma…comfort videos for life❤️

[@katielouise1419]

Oh SJ it’s so good to have you back! ❤ We had our little boy on 29th May and we’ve named him Sonny Robert 🌞♥️

[@elsa_nyc]

I really enjoyed bringing in your client case studies. So interesting to hear the back story and your suggestions.

[@nimzat09]

I have listened to every episode of your podcast, I love this style ❤

[@EdenIsaacs]

my FAVOURITE videos!! missed these 🎀💕

[@brandyyoung629]

I love how SJ things she's a random account that we all wouldn't be super excited to chat about our baby names with 😂

[@DamePerdita]

This was so fun! I think of baby names in terms of literary and historical namesakes, and family heritage. It’s so interesting to see someone choosing based on sounds and feelings about meanings instead. Do more!

[@ntblkenf]

Elowen Clover and Bronte Moss are absolutely lush as is Rosalind Pixie. I think Winifred Pixie and Frederica Dusty are lovely.

[@carolinecrawford3989]

Always enjoy the dilemmas and your thoughtful and creative responses so much! Just relistened to every episode of the podcast now that my sister is expecting again to brainstorm names for her.

[@julietexeira5363]

I was thinking Arden for the first family!

[@SJ_Strum]

Oooh yes perfect! X

[@ntblkenf]

I agree,Arden and Harlow sound quite nice together. Arden Rose is quite pretty too. I quite want something tailored and modern and preppy sounding with Harlow, like Tatum or Sheridan.

[@LilyGarden528]

I was thinking Arden or Arwyn. Great minds think a like 😂

[@nancymartinez257]

I loved this video. More of these videos. I love the name combos you came up with. Very pretty.

[@sarahkelly473]

Please do more of these consultancy videos in the future. I have a 5 month old boy, but I know I’d like to give him a sibling in a couple years so I know I’m going to struggle - struggle to choose between all the girls names I love, or struggle to pick another boy name full stop 😂

[@ivaya1654]

I really really love the „Baby Name Consultancy“. I‘d love to see more of those videos! 🥰😍😍

[@801LOVER]

These colors really suit you!! Pretty

[@ashleycristineeee]

[@Gybr24]

Love the dilemmas! Please do more! 😊

[@oliviadarks883]

i have a delilah rose and we get so many compliments on her name xxxx

[@janvan4424]

My niece's name is Lila Rose 😊

[@danaology.]

Eeep loved this, SJ! My nephew is Felix and I loved his parents reasoning for using it. Partially because of the fortuitous name meaning, but also because there’s a spell in Harry Potter with “felix” in it and it relates to light. He was born blonde, so he was their ray of golden light and they (his parents) feel lucky to have him ❤

[@oddmnemosyne2869]

So it's really funny but here in the states (at least where I live) while we do call the herb Bayz-il, people still say Baz-il when it's a name? I've loved that name for years because of a song by the band Cap'n Jazz called Basil's Kite. I would love to see it gain traction over here and I'm happy to hear it's slowly rising again in the UK. So many gorgeous suggestions! Playing along, here's some first names for those tricky adventurous middles: Bronwen Pixie Eluned Pixie Seren Pixie Araminta Dusty Sybil Dusty Tabitha Dusty Calanthe Coco Lorelei Coco Odette Coco

[@Lindsay_may85]

Seren Pixie, Lorelei Coco and Sybil Dusty are ❤

[@bettyjoy6361]

We know a family with an Ella and a Caleb and they are gorgeous teens now and it’s such a lovely name combo! 🎉

[@Lindsay_may85]

@SJ_Strum you have outdone yourself! ❤ Thank you so much for covering my dilemma! (I am Sonny Wilders mum, I broke my phone so redownload everything and only just seen this video!!🤭) Some amazing suggestions, love love love, given me lots of think about and have now created a combos list!! 😂 I will keep you posted on what I go for! ... Romy Magnolia, Lyra Fable, Elowen Clover, Winsome Dusty, Brontë Moss, Posey Coco!! Gahh I loved them all! ❤❤❤ ...Going to go through all the comments now too haha xx

[@ErikasHomeRefresh]

Love this style of video!!!! Beautiful names ❤️

[@juliaanderson9458]

Crying that you said both our baby names in the first 30 seconds hahaha. Margot was born in dec 23 and if she was a boy she would have been wesley 😆

[@carolines3953]

You’re looking so well 🥰 Fab names as always!

[@melanie_s_powell]

Romy Magnolia!! Love it so much. Although, I do prefer the spelling Romee. (There was a VS angel that spelled it that way when I was in high school, and I was so obsessed with her) 😂

[@The.Caroline]

Loved this video SJ, a little nod to the podcast x

[@eaglefoot23]

Tawny Damson reminds me of Tony Danza, but that could just be because I’m American. And even then, it isn’t necessarily a bad connection, just something to note.

[@marlenestewart7442]

I thought that as well, and commented as such before I saw you comment.

[@StephanieKennedy-ri6ng]

Love this video! Reminds me of the podcast I miss but literally just relisten to all the old episodes multiple times. Also met a little girl Eloise who went by the CUTEST nickname- Weezy.

[@jessudall4573]

Love seeing the name Robin appear.. I have twin boys called Robin and Leo and struggled to find something to go with Robin for a long time!

[@eb8747]

This is so funny, because i would never choose Ella for a girl, but you chose 3 of my top boys names to go with it as a sibling! Otis, Caleb and Felix!

[@ImadMarli]

I have an Elowen which you helped me name and currently pregnant with her little brother… I have no idea on boy names. I am finding that I am quite picky. I often find myself drawn towards nature names but they have to be uncommon…. Not River which has become too common now. I do like Asher but not 100% sold on it as it has become very popular too. Also need a middle name for our baby boy.

[@madisonwaugh21]

Everest, Harlan, Jonah, Orson, Evren?

[@Lindsay_may85]

Eldon, Roscoe, Otto, Fox, Jett, Brecon, Kit, Cove, Nico, Dylan, Marley, Harlan

[@tristajeanveau7168]

Love this video! I would love to submit a baby name dilemma. I’m expecting a bb girl beginning of October. Her sister is named Tigerlily June. I love Summerland as a first or second name. Another name I recently saw is Salomé. I live in a English/ French bilingual city. Have some ideas? Thanks!!

[@merrilinschepman8704]

Just a suggestion sticking with the flower theme you could name her Dandelion call her Danni for short Dandelion Summer just thought it’d be cute good luck on finding your perfect name and congratulations!! Your daughter’s name Tigerlily June is super cute!!! 😊

[@ashleymufasa]

I've been waiting for this video! ❤🎉

[@daniellerivera6161]

I love Adelaide as a sister for Harlow! Or Estelle

[@cc-wn5el]

Great video SJ! I'm looking for a sweet girl name to pair with Clara (meaning bright/clear) We like the more timeless names but want it to be fun and wearable. So far, we have: Lucy Zoe Rosie Rosalie Daisy Annie Josie Stella Would love to hear your favorite or any suggestions!

Video idea: bad baby name prank in front of your husband! Like baby names that would be good without their meanings: Martini, Bralette, Balcony 🤣

[@cross5063]

I vote for Ulysses as Harriets brother!

[@jlaurelle]

I think most people express their opinions on baby names because a child will have to grow up with that name and if it’s horrible you feel bad for the child.

[@cross5063]

Cleo Dusty, Posey Seraphina, Dottie or Tamsin maybe for the Sonny Wilder Mama..maybe a Mollie

[@cross5063]

Maybe a Pippy or Pepper??

[@cross5063]

Mae or June could be nice too! Romy June

[@cross5063]

Noemi would be nice too, or wren or sparrow or Birdie..

I already have 2 girls, named Azalea Sky and an Elowen Meadow

[@MKP131]

Lucien (M) or Lucia, Lucianna (F) for their meaning, light. North (GN), if you’re brave. Rosanna (F) and Alba (F) both share Aurora’s meaning, Dawn (F) - also a lovely name! I thought of Iris (F), since that’s the goddess of the rainbow and they have that similar vibe. Maybe a Scandi name would catch your fancy since that’s where viewing the Aurora is so iconic.
