Coraline ... not Caroline at all! Hehe that's a line from Coraline the movie

[@rrosemccoy]

Lani LeBlanc OMG me too!!! Sweet Caroline Bum Bum Bum good times never seem so good. (My piano teacher named her youngest baby Caroline. Her husband sings that song to her all the time. She was named after it.)

[@Mia-sb1bb]

HAHAHHAHA THANK YOU I WAS WAITING FOR THIS COMMENT

[@pipgam]

Instead of having an Ellie you could have an Eleanor or Eleanora - then you get the nickname El or Nora

[@zoey-sn7yg]

Pip Gamble eleanor is my favourite name

[@blacklightaura6777]

THIS IS SO PURE OMG “I kept a running notes list of names before I got pregnant” clearly finding the perfect name was SO important to you and I actually think your name videos are great!!!!

[@sam-zd7ff]

imagine growing a child and naming it dot hawk or sonny... just ruining their life from the start

[@karakornylo9245]

my mums name is Dot and my brothers name is Sonny lol

[@jengen316]

i kind of like sonny tho, but DOT? HAWK? what-

[@alyssa_faith]

I quote dead memes I have a friend named Sonny. But his name is actually Marciano and everyone calls him Sonny. Never thought it was a weird name lol.

[@m_eliza8992]

Kind of a mean comment now since her son’s name is Hawk. Js

[@isabellalushington3509]

I know a girl called “sunnie” and everyone compliments her name

[@annetendam]

Vera is actually a very common name in the Netherlands! 😁

[@vigtoria8123]

Ophelia is a beautiful name. And lia could be a cute nickname

[@theodoramadeleine1795]

Vigtoria my name is Ophelia and people called me Phe or fifi !

[@kennediveland3713]

Vigtoria i know someone too with that name i just feel like once you get older the name Ophelia will be too youngish. And the nickname fifi sounds like a dog

How the hell you gonna name your kid dot. I feel like to some extent u gotta give your kid a practical name. Life can be hard enough without being questioned about your name every time you introduce yourself😂

[@jadebxx22]

[@apaigec0]

Jadiebxx Barrett I want a Juno too! Juno Darling 💕

I love the name Violet for a girl💜

[@makd7596]

if you wanted to use “Dot” as a nickname you could call her “Dotty” or something

[@user-qd5pj1bi4v]

Suggestion for a girl- Maebry~ it’s kind of like Avery and it can be shortened to Mae and I’ve never met anyone with it

[@robynlowry8765]

I love these names GIRLS: Devin(Dev) Erica(E) September (Sepy or sepe) Alexis(lexi) Talia(Tay or lia) BOYS: Alexander (Alex) Isaiah (Issy) Spencer (Spence) Jordan (Jo) Feel free to take inspiration ❤️

[@mariem8399]

I have similar name taste to you for girls and I loved this list! For Ophelia you could shorten it to Phia, I really Fia as a name too. How about Jameson, Elias, Atticus, Hartley, Cassius or Sterling for a boy. And Odette, Delilah, Dahlia, Isadora, Nellie, Lydia or Colette for a girl! ❤️

[@bryannahremy5658]

if you like the name Hawk, maybe you would like the name Hawkin. that way you could use Hawk for a nickname :)

[@marcoconut1745]

What about Marseilles (pronounced- marsay) like the city in France

[@marcoconut1745]

Lol it’s my name

[@ellebee511]

My first daughter is Lillian & we’re naming our second Caroline! Due in August 🙂

[@Mystified1978]

My kids are Spencer, Brooke and Everett. We loved Spencer (he is almost 18). It’s vintage but yet still trendy and thankfully it seemed to get less popular over the years. Brooke is just classic to me as well. I just think of a beautiful girl when I hear Brooke and my girl is a beauty!! My other boy is Everett and I LOVE this name to this day it’s my favorite. It’s such an older name but still modern enough and I love that it’s somewhat unique although the new Ever, Everlee, Everleigh name craze makes people but an “e” on the end of his name and I am like it’s not “Everette” 😂😂😂😂 Oh well! Anyway good luck I can’t wait to hear! ❤️

[@KelseyBarnardMusic]

I love all the girls names that are two syllables and just sound simple but really pretty!

[@marymegc]

My sons name is Townes and I think it’s the perfect balance of unique but not too crazy. My husband and I disagreed on a lot of names too, it was sooo hard to choose one! Btw..just found your channel and I adore you!💕

[@michelleguerra5715]

Micah would be really cute for your baby boy!

[@theawesomesupergirls]

Michelle Guerra Luca and Micah if she had twins 😯❤️

[@jadenbarber1911]

Naming my son Beckham. Loved all the names!

[@AlliyScott]

I love that name! So cute!

[@michaelince6116]

All I know is I want my baby girl to have a “male” name! For example my name is Michael and I’m a girl! I just think that’s really cool and I want to keep the tradition

[@paytona7337]

The first time i saw the fosters i fell in love with the name Jude too! Im so obsessed

[@humbleloan]

Zoriel is a cute unique name on my list for either genders I think! I also think Vera is a great name :)

[@cecehonerkamp1193]

Names I love: Girl - Noelle, Holly, Ember, Autumn, Aspen Boy- Leland, Camden, Grayson, Torin/Toryn, Niles (like the Nile River).

K O what does it mean ?

[@wekiweki4088]

what is it

[@aydencooper-prahalad7764]

It’s this girl in Hamlet who goes insane and kills herself...

[@brianna3981]

But the original meaning of the name is “to help” and it’s from Greek origin

[@Nadeshda44]

I love your taste! Vera is so timeless, elegant and cute! I love Norah too!

[@aletaelizabeth]

I love your taste in names! growing up I really hated my name, it was so uncommon and since I was named after my grandma I felt like it was a very old name but as I grew up and matured, I learned to love it. I love names that end is that “ahh” sound, they just have a nice flow to them!

[@sarasmith8098]

If you like vintage names I have a matilda and Florence xx

[@hj471230]

My nephews names are Cade, Carson, and Chase but my brother and sis-in-law considered Cole, Cooper, or Carter. Carter was popular years ago but I don’t hear it much anymore. I also love Seth and Mason. Girl names are so much harder to me. I do love Chloe, Andrea and Avery for girls. So excited to hear what y’all decide on. 🥰

[@kendallchaplin4059]

OMG I agree on what you say in the beginning about how hard it is to get your partner to agree on a baby name! My favourite boy's name (although it is gender neutral) is Sloane and when I suggested that my hubby said it sounds like a serial killer's name! We ended up naming our son Hunter.

[@hayleygrace]

Congrats girl! I love this video trend, so fun! Can't wait to see what name you pick!

[@bethhull1132]

My Daughter Peyton is 25 and my Son Landen is 20 and back then they were the only Peyton and Landen in school. I loved that! My philosophy when picking out baby names was using popular last names as first names.

[@lilycupp8615]

idk why but i’m obsessed with the name elenora ( ella- norah) everyone says they hate it but i love it! what do y’all think?

[@juliaarnold1078]

lily cupp i dislike the spelling. Adding in random letters to make the name look ‘unique’ is superfluous and a bit tacky. It sounds nice but Elenora would better spelling imo.

[@haleyb5368]

Just add an 'A' on the end of Eleanor dude. That spelling is atrocious. Eleanora is the proper spelling

[@stephanie6278]

Just don't spell it ellanorah the spelling looks horrible

Girls: (could be unisex for some) - Anthem - Elle - Senna - Tru - Majesty - Wren - Ever Boys: (again, could be unisex for some) - West - Rylar - Landon - Ash - Cayden - Amias - Eli (not that unique, but still super cute) I absolutely love these! I won't take it personally if you don't like them lol, but I sure do! Happy name searching, and bless your little family! (7 each)
