Aaah I'm so late to the video this week. 😭 When I was in preschool there was actually a girl in my class named Tiger! Only time I've ever encountered this one out in the real world. Antigone called Tiggy is so darling I'm in love! I think I'm with you and lean toward Nixie over Pixie (but bo Joplin for me definitely falls squarely in the "rockstar surname names" camp which aren't my favorite- but Joplin I like more than most. I'd say I don't mind Hendrix or Joplin, bit really dislike Lennon, Bowie, Jagger, etc. I ADORE Sybil, Lourdes, and Bronte 💖 While I don't care for Sandy personally I do like Sandra and Cassandra and it definitely falls in line with names like Nancy and Peggy that seem to be getting some love again. Trudy seems to fall squarely in that vibe too. I know it's super polarized but I like Gertrude more than Trudy (though Giertrue is my favorite variation and totally lends itself to True as a nickname!) Arden is one of those names that bucks my usual rules and I really quite like it and enjoy seeing it getting some use! The queen of free spirited is Stevie Nicks so that definitely feels right for this list. I love Pandora. I think people forget that she also released hope into the world.

Absolutely love Nixie! (Was a nickname growing up with the last name Nixon so it would be a great way to get a family name in.) Love the nickname Callie too! I think Ari would work for Arden, and could be an option for those who love Ari but dont want to do Ariana or Aria because they are too popular
@callieforniaking3 жыл бұрын
It's funny because I never really thought of Callie as being a nickname but people ask me fairly often of its short for anything. My mom once tried to convince me it was short for Calypso lol
@samanthaallison7213 жыл бұрын
@@callieforniaking I think it stands well on its own! I honestly didnt realize it was a nickname until one of the characters on greys anatomy. But i think hers was short for Calliope?

Hi SJ, lovely names! Do you think “Scout” could also be used for a boy? My stepson wanted a sister called Scout (To kill a mockingbird) and I’ll be having my last baby at one point and wonder that if it’s a boy that Scout would sound ok?

I like it BETTER as a boy's name. I bet the name Scout would be widespread if it had first become familiarized as a boy's name. We are used to girls taking over boy names, but Scout is a name that really should scoot over to the boys. Best wishes!
