SUN, MOON & STARS BABY NAMES - for babes you love to the Moon & Back // SJ Strum

[@SJ_Strum]

Ah this finally uploaded!!! Hope you enjoy the names; I'm a bit in love with Jericho right now! And do suggest any names for the lovely Bree who is this weeks viewer dilemma SJ xxxx

[@frankienew6966]

A lady I work with has a son called Jericho, he's the only one I know of! X

[@isabellek293]

I’m not 100% sure I have the correct meanings but since Bree seems to like somewhat “unusual” names, some i love, that she might like, are Elwood meaning “noble woods”, Evander which means “Good man” and Rockwell meaning “rock spring”.

[@Ru-yi9lt]

I'll just add some Arabic names: Shams شمس(female): sun. Shurouq شروق (female) : sunrise. Fajr فَجْر (male) : dawn. Qamar, rhymes with summer, (female) : moon. Badr بَدْر (male) : full moon. Bodour بُدور (female) full moons. Hilal هلال (male) crescent, the female version is Hilala هلالة, but in some places they can sound old fashioned. Hala هالة (female) : aura or halo. Layla ليلى (female) : night sky. Najm نَجْم (male) : star, the female version is Najma نجمة but again some might consider them old. Thuraya or Soraya ثريا (female) : constellation. Tariq طارق (male) : bright star. Shihab شهاب (male) : shooting star.

[@msaijay1153]

My husband's great grandma was Badra, is that just the female version of Badr? Interestingly, we named our daughter after his grandma Rahel but we used the English variant, Rachel. Her nickname is Rue, a lot like you.

[@Ru-yi9lt]

@@msaijay1153 there was a period of time where it was common for people to just take the male name and add the a ending to make it feminine, and you would find siblings with the same name basically, the majority of the these girls are grandmas now, so it is very old fashioned. Actually my name is Ruaa, which means visions and dreams, but Ru is just a nickname 💙💙

[@ae6805]

In Turkey Hilal is a girls name and has the same meaning

[@Ru-yi9lt]

Your name is adoooorable!

[@MsTeacake1982]

For anyone looking to use many of these names, I would suggest doing more research into their true provenance. For example, the biblical origin of Jericho. Oberon is medieval/Shakespearen as is Cressida taken from Homer. Celestial bodies are often named after people, places etc from antiquity, so prudent to research further to avoid any meanings or associations you might dislike.

Why are you renaming children when they already have a name? Is that cultural? Never heard of doing that and would have thought they already had an identity in their names?

[@MiamiSunrise24]

@@bettyjoy6361 It's actually quite common with young children to change the first name. But even older kids sometimes want the new names, to start a new chapter. If you have a conversation about it and the children want the new name (sometimes to fit in culturally if it is international adoption, sometimes just to start over) it should be fine.

[@bettyjoy6361]

Are you picking those names to fit in with your Hawaiian culture or just because you think they’ll fit in better with those names in your community? I’m a name fanatic so I’m not trying to be rude, I’m just interested in the origin or what goes into re-naming children.

For the baby name dilemma I was going to suggest the name Ariyon Walken. Ariyon I came up with because I was googling "after the rain" and somehow landed on an actor called Ariyon and I just really liked it and thought it went well with Day. Walken is Australian Aboriginal meaning Rainbow - I thought being Australian and meaning Rainbow (coming after the rain and their rainbow baby) might be appropriate. I am so sorry for the baby they lost and I am so glad they have a little brother for their two daughters now. I wish them all well x

We gave our daughter the middle name Etoile, meaning star in French. Her first name was Evie. She sadly passed away before she was born and we felt strongly we wanted a star name.

Also crushing on Jericho, you sold me completely on it being a great girls name!

For the dilemma: Basil - Quinn means “head, chief” and Basil means “king” so that could be a link between them. Also, the basil plant could be a plant link to Azalea and Rose tying the three siblings together Going with the rain/water theme: Douglas - dark river Conway - holy water Marinus/Mariano - of the sea Timothy - Timothy grass is a plant so that could tie the three together subtly as well

It's a favorite of mine and no one ever seems to like it. 😭 Others from the moon list I'm loving include Francisco, Jovian (😍), Celena, Phoebe, Oberon, Diana, and Artemis (my cat's name lol) Some other moon names: Altalune- "over the moon" Evaluna- compound of Eva and Luna Qamar- Arabic name meaning moon Osbert is honestly so cute. 💖 From the sun list I adore Marisol, Idalia, and Sunniva. Some other sunny names I love: Sóley- Icelandic name which literally translates to "sun island," but it's also the icelandic word for buttercup flowers! Sounds very similar to French Soleil, but the emphasis is more on Sol. Apollo/Apollonia- Apollo was the Greek God associated with the sun, twin and counterpart to Artemis. Solana/Solara/Solaris/Soleil- "sun" Domingo- Spanish word for Sunday a name sometimes given to boys born on a Sunday. Oriana/Oriane- Latin/French from Latin "sunrise" Kiara- Korean name meaning "first ray of sun" Iliodor- "gift of the sun" Russian variation of Greek Heliodor/Heliodoros. Liodor is another Russian variation. I like Esther/Estelle/Estela/Estella/Estrella a lot, and Hesper is intriguing. Also loving Sterling, Lucien/Lucian/Luciano, and Galileo (or Galilea!) Other star names: Etoile- French, "star" Yvaine- "Evening star" literary name from Neil Gaiman's fantasy novel, Stardust. Maristela- compound of Maris and Stela/Stella, "sea and stars" or, "star of the sea" Svetlana- Russian, "star" Seren- Welsh for star Izar- Basque for star Polaris- Latin, "North star"

[@alicelilley9879]

For Bree, I recommend: Zephyr Thor. Zephyr for the reasons she described and Thor because they have finally "tamed the storm". Also it's a strong name and it reflects his mother's and father's strength in persevering on their familiy journey. It also gives me "protector vibes", like he will protect his sisters and himself, so they won't be the the only ones protecting him.

[@albamartorellgonzalez9975]

As an Spanish person, I am familiar with the name "Marisol". In fact, this name doesn't mean "Sea and Sun" (although it's literal traduction is so, it's meaning isn't that one), but it's an abbreviation between "María" (Mary) and the name "Sol" (of Latin origin, which does literally mean "Sun"). Also, "Francisco" means "belonging to the people of the Franks". Anyways, a very good video!

[@Cath189]

For the dilemma, Ruka is the name I love it isn't very common in UK/US - it's a Japanese name but also used quite a lot in Europe, it means Bright Blue Flower and you can use the nickname 'Roo' for short, I feel like it would tie in well with her daughter's flower name but also as symbolism after what she's been through, something beautiful that will bring colour into her life.

[@oddmnemosyne2869]

For Bree: Considering the significance of meaning here and your current considerations, maybe some of the following will sparkle for you. Freyr- Norse God of rain and sunlight, brother of Freyja. Enfys- Welsh for, "Rainbow." In Welsh it's pronounced roughly like, "Ehn-viss." Neil, Niall, Niles, or Nigel- there is some dispute as to the definitive etymology of this name branch but many believe they stem from the Gaelic root for "cloud." Petrichor- maybe a bit bold for a first, but with the name being a description of, "the earthy scent of fresh rain on dry ground" I think it could be a lovely middle choice for you. That scent/first rainfall was also thought of as the essence or "blood" of stones and in Greek mythology was said to be what flowed through the veins of the gods. Walken- Noongar aboriginal name meaning, "Rainbow", but may also be associated with the surname Walken, which stems from old Norman French. Marsh- marshes come to life in the rainy season, hosting all of the splendor of life. While this name doesn't directly have rain in it's meaning, it feels so symbolically connected. There is no marsh without the rain.

[@sweetthistle8]

Olen came to mind. Theodore, Fae and Olen. Or Orrin. Olen was on my boy list because I love the nickname Lenny. But I feel since for have a 3 syllable and then a 1 syllable, a 2 syllable flows best and O name echos the dominant sound in his brother's name without being too matchy

Ziazan originates from America, the name means ‘rainbow.’ I also love Indra which means possessing drops of rain

Eleanor & Atlas for twin girls would be adorable as they both fit for the sun/moon theme! I’ve also had a huge crush on Estelle, Astra (great alternative for Astrea), Elaine, Sterling, Vespera (I heard this one from a previous list of yours!), & Noeva (with the nickname Noe - I don’t like the idea of a nickname being spelt “No” lol) for years! For Bre: Zephyr/Zaphyr always reminds me of the quote, “These are as gentle as zephyrs blowing below the violets.” from Shakespeare’s Cymbeline, & I’ve always found that so calming & beautiful! Or perhaps Warren (water/river/to protect/to defend) or Caspian (of the sea), which can be used to connect the kids with the water theme? Best of luck deciding & congratulations!

Thank you so much Kylee. Just curious. When I looked the quote up on google and listened to people talking about it, they pronounced Zephyr like Zeff Fur. SJ pronounces is Zeff Fear. Which do you think is right.... is there a right? I love how SJ pronounces it and her pronunciation makes me love it more.

[@kyleeking7735]

@@breeday3813 Hi Bree! I’m from the US so I with my accent it sounds more like Zeff Fur, but I’ve heard it both ways, and I absolutely agree with you - I love it more the way SJ pronounced it! I don’t think there’s really a right/wrong way to pronounce names, but I would just go with how you want to pronounce it since you’ll be saying it the most and it will have more meaning for you.

[@rosienu3480]

Love Zepphyr and also Zephaniah which sounds great with Day.

[@kippytx]

Such pretty. Astrea was my favorite.will have to think more on dilemma

[@janyrose]

For the baby name dilemma i would suggest Arco. The italian name for rainbow is arcobaleno and as he is a rainbow baby it would be fitting :) Also the name Tal meaning rain/dew would be nice. And maybe Zeru is an alternative, it means sky

[@epalmerbright]

Loving so many of these names! Artemis has always been one of my faves, Amaris and Jovian really stood out for me too!

[@rosebud7233]

Love this long list! I know an Eliana and a Cyrus. Blaze (and also Blaise) makes me think of the slang for smoking marijuana. I think Cressida is gorgeous!

[@MsBianca78]

Absolutely slang for getting high. I feel so badly for kids with that name.

*Baby name dilemma* Freyr- In Norse baby names, the meaning of the name Freyr is ‘God of rain and sunlight Raiden- The name Raiden means ‘thunder and lightning,’ which accompanies a heavy rainfall. Petrichor- Ok I know this might sound crazy but Petrichor is the term coined by Australian scientists in 1964 to describe the unique, earthy smell associated with rain. It has seen usage as a name although its obviously very rare. Enfys - Welsh for rainbow Luca- Derived from the Latin name Lucas, this one means “bringer of light”

[@abigailheinen]

What about Jonah Sage. She likes nature names. Jonah means dove which is a symbol of peace. Sage is a plant name but it also means wisdom.

[@elisamastromarino7123]

Astrea and Jovian.😍😍 Also, Esmeray. 😍 This was a great list! Thank you S.J.!
