I don't have children or even a partner but I find your videos so comforting. I'd love to see a video of unique Scandinavian names😊 x

[@jessrose4301]

Amity immediately makes me think of Jaws. Which I guess is also summery 😂

[@SJ_Strum]

Ha ha - I don't have the same reference which is why names is always fun! x

[@PolaBeaver]

Really? Not Amityville horror? I still love it though.

[@Cassxowary]

⁠​⁠@@PolaBeaverI was gonna say the same 😂 and that second part too

[@karthago31]

My current favourite for a girl is Marilla meaning 'shining sea'. Thanks for all the beautiful name inspo, I've been enjoying baby name monday for years now 😊

[@SP-kk5nj]

I loved this for my baby this year but couldn’t get it by hubby!

[@kjmos]

Coral is a great vintage choice and criminally underused! I have a grandma named Coral ☺️

[@SJ_Strum]

I agree, it’s such a great name! X

[@sunset4ever29]

I think Coral is a very pretty name.

[@Groovyredhead]

Linnea is one of my faves. Ortun is cute. Ripley reminds me of Alien and is a tough girl name to me. Amity reminds me of Amityville horror. It is a movie that comes from a tragic murder that took place in the city decades ago. So, anything Amity related that’s all I think of. 🤷‍♀️

[@leighbrown9423]

Where has SJ gone?? I havnt seen a new video from her in a few months now? Is she OK does anybody know?

[@valmaud4683]

She has an Instagram that she updates on pretty frequently 🙂

[@edenharrington-jones]

I had a little Juno in May (she came early and was meant to be a June baby!) - we named her after the NASA space mission as well as the nod to Classical literature ❤️

[@SJ_Strum]

Ah I love it!! So happy for you - please give her a hug from me xxx

[@anncat1111]

Lovely video, we have Aurelia for a girl, Aurian for a boy (means golden) as well as some of yours on our shortlist :)

[@jessicastory4010]

I love Soleil for in a middle spot.

[@sianiesauntie]

I’d have it as a first name. It’s beautiful ❤

[@oddmnemosyne2869]

Yeees Coral is a lovely vintage option! Deserving of a comeback. Honestly I think Sailor is sweet, I'm not a big fan of alternative spellings but on it's face it's a fun name. It's similar to Mariner, which is a name I like quite a bit. Loving Lucien, Sunday, Pearl, Aalto, Juno, Fraser, Linnea, Riviera, and Ripley!

[@Cassxowary]

nice ones but not pearl, not if you’d know they’re basically forced ulcers created through abuse…

[@emmacahill5502]

Obsessed with your beautiful accent 😂❤ im Irish but just love listening to you. Just discovered your channel and lovvvve it. I will definitely be flat out watching when I have my baby number 1 ❤❤❤

[@haileyshappenings]

Love these! I'd like to submit my own baby name dilemma. We've got a Soren and Cyrus (which ended up a bit more matchy than I expected) and now looking for a baby girl name that sounds harmonious with them. I like the less common but vintage kind of vibe names like Aletta, Emmeline, Cecily, Iris, but so many of them sound too similar to Soren and Cyrus.

[@Plumosaurus]

I used to be obsessed with Coralie growing up. No idea where I got it from!

[@SJ_Strum]

Wow I love it too xx

[@juliejones2169]

How is this name pronounced please

[@Plumosaurus]

@@juliejones2169 Coral-ee. Like 'morally' but Coralie 😊

[@jettrenning1651]

From the Waltons?

[@aifricnichleirigh]

Similar meaning to Aavya is an Irish name Luisne (Lish-nah) meaning "first blush of sunrise before dawn". It's been on my shortlist for a few years now!

[@SJ_Strum]

Wow wow - I love it - thanks for adding x

[@marty9011]

Love this name, Luisne, but there is the usual tricky Irish spelling issue.

[@sianiesauntie]

That would be perfect for a sunrise baby (the surviving baby in a twin loss pregnancy). Beautiful ❤

[@Cassxowary]

@@marty9011exactly, it’d have to only be in ireland…

[@amyj3692]

Its so crazy to realise ive been watching these baby name videos since I was like 16 and now I'm here pregnant with my first 😭❤

[@jlaurelle]

Hurley is a surf company here in the United States

[@sunset4ever29]

I wondered why I see so many t-shirts with that logo on them.

[@SJ_Strum]

Oh wow! Maybe they knew the meaning!

[@Cassxowary]

@@sunset4ever29because it’s a popular top brand

[@ailsamunro3029]

I live in Oban and its pronounced like O-bin/O-bn Stunning part of Scotland x

[@bandisancod]

lol! My name is Sandi, short for Alessandra!

[@SJ_Strum]

That’s so lush! X

[@xyhanx]

My baby's name is Isaac Caspian. Named after Prince Caspian of Narnia ❤

[@katielouise1419]

I love this list! I had a little boy on the 29th of May and named him Sonny 🌞♥️

[@SJ_Strum]

Wow perfect choice! x

[@jessc6119]

I had a little girl in 2022 that was born in August and I named her Adelaide! Her and her name give off big “golden yellow summer” vibes. It doesn’t hurt that I have always loved lemonade (which I think sounds similar to her name) and especially with her pregnancy 🤣

[@SJ_Strum]

Yes I love her name so much xx

[@Cassxowary]

I love it too but please don’t move to aus or change it if you do 😂

[@jessc6119]

@@Cassxowary nah, I love my family too much to move away from them. In Illinois I shall stay 😊

[@smirwinina]

Love Nikau (Maori spelling of Nikko). I love Alto too, and Linnea. My husband loves the book Dune so he'd probably be on board for that haha! I love Hawaiian names for summer too. I like them just in general (my kiddies are Hawaiian names!)

[@Cassxowary]

are you māori or hawaiian then?(:

[@rootedinalaska]

I need a middle name for wilder, I am having the hardest time finding one that has good flow

[@amymorrison9552]

Awww, Sunny made the list! I just had my little Sonya Marit a few months back and we call her Sunny. It's a nod to my mother-in-law, Sandra (but goes by ..you guessed it - Sandy!) much love to you SJ!

[@theunexplainable2995]

My daughters name is Rayla, meaning Child of the sun 🌞

[@SJ_Strum]

Oh wow I love that xx😊

[@danaschreiner3334]

I've always liked Coral or Coralie. Aavya is new to me and very pretty! I also have Avalon, Caspian, Juno, and Linnea on my list.

[@SJ_Strum]

Coral is so pretty xx

[@christinebyrnes3164]

There is also an Avalon Beach in Australia, so for us it sounds quite summery 🌞

[@Cassxowary]

and Clovelly too not too far!(:

[@mayat9940]

Hi I was wondering if you can make a place name list.

[@sealeymackey4149]

I love the name Sanders, Sandy for short!💙

[@SJ_Strum]

Ooh i Iove that too x

[@granesperanza6478]

Of these, Coral and Caspian are my favorite. One of my good friends is a Jared.

[@moviemelody2210]

The first name, Amity, made me think of Amityville horror…I’ve got issues apparently haha

[@SJ_Strum]

😂😂 I will look it up - and never watch£

[@moviemelody2210]

@@SJ_Strum good idea…I only know it because it’s based on a real murder committed by Ronald DeFeo Jr. of his family in Amityville, New York

[@moviemelody2210]

@@SJ_Strumgood idea haha. I myself have never seen it

[@ntblkenf]

I absolutely love Liberty, Summer,Coral, Sunday, Pearl Juna/ June/ Juno and Avaya . A former co- worker has a little one year old called Avaya, spelled Aveia. Sunny is cool and cute , I like it on its own and as a short form for Sunday and Solstice,for a little girl For boys, I really love Lucien. I Do prefer Sunday very much for a little girl,by the by. I don't recall hearing them, but I do like Fisher, Pier ,Coast and Mariner for boys born in the warmer months and Marisol, Azula,Marina and Laken for girls. I really like Cove and Ocean for either gender.Well done.

[@Cassxowary]

beautiful ones but not pearl, not if you’d know they’re basically forced ulcers created through abuse…

[@christinebyrnes3164]

So many good ideas ❤ I always struggled with the name Sunday, as Nicole Kidman called her daughter Sunday Rose but it sounds too close to sunday roast! (In Australia and I think the UK, traditionally a big roast meal would be cooked on a sunday)

[@granesperanza6478]

That's hilarious 😂

[@jennifersnell3488]

If astrology names are popular, Juno was the wife of Jupiter

[@nellerue446]

How about Cay? A cay is a low sandy island on the surface of a coral reef (two of the names you mention are in that definition) It can be pronounced Kay or Key

[@SJ_Strum]

Great idea - thanks so much for adding it x

[@tamzinlena]

tamzin also means twin 😉 but linnea has gone on the list, love the fact it has the same meaning as mine!

[@SJ_Strum]

Ah yes it does: lovely to link through a meaning x

[@anniesmolkin7685]

I was wondering what you think of the name Sheldon

[@carolineharnish5633]

Solomom-English version of the Hebrew "Shlomo"( a man of peace, from Shalom)
