[@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

[@elsa_nyc]

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

[@jessp4840]

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

[@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

[@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 🌞♥️

[@nimzat09]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@EdenIsaacs]

my FAVOURITE videos!! missed these 🎀💕

[@nancymartinez257]

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

[@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 😂

[@mamaatheart]

Lavender Pixie Charolette Cocoa Robin Dusty 16:42

[@gemwhite8247]

Lavender Pixie is lovely

[@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 😂

[@ashleycristineeee]

I absolutely love the consultancy videos!!!!

[@801LOVER]

These colors really suit you!! Pretty

[@ntblkenf]

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

[@Gybr24]

Love the dilemmas! Please do more! 😊

[@ivaya1654]

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

[@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 😂

[@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!!

[@oliviadarks883]

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

My niece's name is Lila Rose 😊

[@abie9203]

I have a Paisley and a Sienna .. I wanted something elegant but no too long

[@saraxles]

Your videos are so lovely.

[@JustCled]

I would love it if you could do welsh baby names at some point

[@ErikasHomeRefresh]

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

[@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 ❤

[@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

[@carolines3953]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@poppersone5184]

Loved this - please do more xx

[@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.

[@marlene56-143]

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

[@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!

[@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! 🎉

[@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 ❤

[@daniellerivera6161]

I love Adelaide as a sister for Harlow! Or Estelle

[@clairejoyce86]

Love this. I really struggle with middle names i have chosen George for a boy (after my dad) but cant choose a mn my surname is also a one syllable so really want something long but unique

[@daniellerivera6161]

Love George Edison!

George Alexander, George Theodore, George Richard, George Rowan, George Frederick, George Nathan, George Callum, George Duncan.

I like Winsome, however I can't stop thinking of Winston when I hear it.

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) 😂

Help me name my baby's name. We saw the Aurora borealis lights the night we found out I was pregnant, but I know too many Auroras (I'm a teacher). I need boy and girl suggestions that help connect to that special night.

[@christinapowell1072]

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.

[@janvan4424]

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.
