Marie Fazio It’s super chavvy in the UK. It’s not fair at all that it has this association because there’s nothing wrong with it.

[@lilianisobel]

It’s hit and miss in the UK especially in the North partially because of George Harrison.

[@ciaramccann8168]

I think a lot of 'American' sounding names are quite unpopular in the UK, as people see them as a little cheap or pretentious? That's of course quite a generalisation but especially amongst the older generations lots of people find them a little distasteful. I think some of them are lovely but it seems people over here tend to go for more classic names xx

I'm really not a fan of any name that ends in "son", they're just so common, so I really dislike Jaxon. Where I'm from we use the word "jax" as slang for the toilet eg. "I'm just going to run to the jax before we go" so that's all I can think of! Felix I really like but understand why lots of people don't. Names are just so personal, what one person hates another person loves. I'd never tell a friend or family member if I didn't like their child's name, because they obviously love it. We all have different taste and that's a good thing.

If you ever do another video to help views find their baby name pairings I could use some help!! My husband’s family has an old family tradition we are trying to bring back! When my husbands ancestors first came to the States they were the O’Boyles but the original 3 brothers faced discrimination because they were Irish. So the brothers decided they would drop the “O” and become a “Boyle” but that they would give their children middle names that would start with an O so that they all could still be so-and-so “O. Boyle” We plan to have a larger family (4+) and I’m really struggling! So far we have Benjamin Owen, and John Oliver. Outside of Olivia, I struggle to find first and O middle names that flow and sound gorgeous with our last name “Boyle”. We tend to like old English or Victorian names, and i LOVE the name Olympia and Odessa. I am just stumped! Any advise or suggestions is so wonderfully welcomed! I am an new follower but I’m so excited to be part of this community!

[@katiek.6333]

I dont know if youve done this yet as Im new to your videos but you should do Arthurian names! I think they are so pretty!

[@millymoo9064]

I love Olive and it’s on my list Olive Marie after my gran. I also like Olivia but as it’s really popular I think Olive is a good substitute

[@eleanornaomigabrielle4105]

Milly Moo my daughters middle name is Olive after her great grandma! Also, I call my little sister Milly Moo 🙈 small world! X

[@TheHeatherblack14]

My daughter is called Olive after her great Gran I’m surprised that people don’t like it 💕

[@OliviaM-hr7vw]

I was named Olivia after my great aunt Olive! My parents had a botanical theme with my sisters and I so it's a double meaning for the plant and the family history

[@elisescout5932]

I positively love it! What's her middle name? My baby names list has Olive Iris - Iris being my boyfriend's grandmother's name.

[@MoreLikeMerMad]

Hi SJ! I love your taste in names so much, and I would so appreciate your help with our baby names. My husband recently lost his grandfather Mark and we want to commemorate him in our first baby's name. We aren't sure whether it is a boy or a girl yet, but luckily the boy name is quite easy- Mark Gregory. However we are struggling with girl names, not being all that fond of feminine Mark names such as Marcia, Marka, or Markette (also as I am American the sound Mar just sounds awful coming out of my mouth, especially for female names!) If you decide to pick this up, thank you so much!

[@fromcantocant7267]

You could use Mark as a middle name for a girl. You could give her a feminine first name. I've known girls named Mary George and Anna Paul after their fathers. Names like Emilie Mark, Arabella Mark or Cathryn Mark are pretty.

[@RoseTylerxx]

Scarlett is one of my favourites! My hubby is also fond of it too! We aren't planning on using it as we have 2 girl names which are rarer and beautiful...but yeah. Love Scarlett-and the nickname Lettie is so cute!

[@leeneedsfriends6750]

The thing I find about names is that the person they're on changes my opinion on them. There are names I disliked but grow to love because of how nice the person I associate it with is and names I used to love but were kinda ruined by people with that name (luckily the latter happens a lot less often!). Moral is if people don't like the name you and your partner would really love to name your child then maybe your child will change their opinion on it! x

[@Bisexualchaosdemon]

The dislike of the 'G' sound reminded me of a different name that upsets me haha I have never liked the name Morag (It's Scottish). I don't really know what it is, I just hate how it sounds!

[@beebee9203]

You should try to do a video on middle names for babies. I'm not having a baby anytime soon bug I know people who have an easy time picking a first name but have the hardest time picking middle names.

[@holliewalker273]

Working in childcare for a number of years, I met so many children with these names. I’ve been really put off the name Alfie as each child I worked with that had that name had really difficult behaviours and were always getting in trouble! The same with any varieties on Aiden sounding names - Kayden, Hayden etc!

[@itssarahjane1283]

Aw SJ I’d be far too scared to watch a vlog where you list names that you personally don’t like! Haha! My favourites from this list are Alfie and Winter , I personally love them both! Fun fact: My best friend is called Chloe and she has a dog called Lola - haha! Loved this video SJ 💕✨

[@SJ_Strum]

It’s Sarahjane ahhhh great choices!!! I genuinely love all names especially ours ;-)

[@just_sarahjane]

Let’s form a Sara(h) Jane club lol

[@debbieversteeg2407]

Hate the names Winter and Spring.

[@chloecutting8150]

I’m surprised by people not liking Chloe 😂😂 I’ve never heard that before 😂

[@chloeknott4608]

my name is chloe and i hate it because there are 4 other chloes in my year at school

[@kloiemartin-peterson5459]

My name is Kloie and I get a lot of “oh your mom wanted you to be unique” 😂 but I didn’t grow up with any other kloies

[@lauraa5331]

Kloie Martin oh wow Kloie is bold 😅 Never seen that spelling before

[@chloecutting8150]

I know LOADS of chloes and my boyfriend works with a Kloie too. It always felt like it’s a really popular name. I didn’t used to like it but I don’t mind it now that I’m older

[@chloecolbert7158]

I know a couple of Chloes but mostly people tell me their dog/cat is named Chloe

[@Hmcknight87]

Chloe surprised me the most! I think it’s adorable!

[@alenemarie1726]

Oscar is an amazing name! I really old fashioned names. Also I love the name Chloe, I have a very good friend named Chloe. Also Stella and Olive are such cute names.

[@lexijade5566]

I absolutely love: Felix, Harrison, Fox Lola, Margot, Scarlett and Olive

[@eloiserobertson9747]

Haha my cousin is named Lola and she gets the showgirl reference all the time

[@LilMorphineAnnie]

Names I personally can't stand: Aiden, Brayden, Hayden, Jayden or any variation of those -ayden names. Bailey, Hailey, Kaylee, Brayleigh or any -leigh variation. MacKenzie, Jackson, Harrison or any last names as first names.

[@lornajackson7686]

Watt DeFuque it seems we have eerily similar pet hates in name choices my friend

[@Sasafrass14]

Same and the Lyn ending names for me.

[@clairem7123]

You have summed up my hates perfectly!

[@scarlettzanchetta6632]

I didn’t think my name would come up on the list 😂😕

[@amyfrancis8941]

I’m honestly quite surprised that Megan and Scarlett are so controversial, not necessarily names on my list but I wouldn’t think twice about them if a friend told me that’s what they were naming their child! X

[@skksdfdnfkfbksdfbf8813]

I don’t know if you ever did this but you should do Italian baby names 🥰

[@lornajackson7686]

Mia Angelina YES! I would love to see SJ do some Italian names

[@louisacoote2337]

I love Stella and Scarlett, as they both have a literary connection (Gone With The Wind and A Streetcar Named Desire) and I would use it for twin girls.

[@scahhdjehw4261]

I’m a twin and my name is scarlett. I was going to be called Stella but my dad wouldn’t let my mum because of the beer. My twin sister is called hazel

[@lostgirlclub]

Hi Sj! Would love a video on italian names or latin names!

[@abas1212]

Love the name monday! Maybe you could do a cultural month where every monday you choose a diferent region of the world map? Spanish, Asian, african too. Your choices are very europe centered and maybe feel a bit monotonus.It would be fun to explore other regions trendy and historic names and their meaning. You did one similar but it was only the most used and it was very short. I want more of that, of diferent names around the globe.

[@sophiagrace6361]

I love the name Clea and Cleo as an alternative for Chloe 💛

[@sitracyto]

Names with seasons vibe is a list I would like to see

[@HollyDzelmanis]

My younger sister who’s 20 is called Scarlett. It suits her wonderfully, graceful and elegant although I don’t see it carrying through to younger generations

[@EllaGreen]

lovly vlog Sarah as always xx

[@aislingluciaeldridge7271]

Can you do a video on aviation themed names please

[@andreasophiach]

I’m naming my daughter Stella after my mother :( I think it’s really cool and cute

[@SJ_Strum]

Andrea Sophia it’s amazing!

[@andreasophiach]

SJ Strum ah thank you for replying! My mums name is actually Chrystella - it’s Greek, and I’m passing it down in a bit of a more modern way :D I just don’t want people to start nick naming her chris for some reason lol x

[@elizabethharris6427]

I also love the name Stella!!

[@Gracielooks]

I was going to call my daughter stella too! It’s a beautiful name! But in the end I decided to call her Annie after my lovely Mother :)

[@haylienicole9736]

stella is my favorite name and any time i tell someone they say it sounds like a dog... so if i ever use it no one will know until she’s born lol

[@alannah2910]

Hey SJ! I was really hoping you could give me some ”full/long name” ideas for the nickname Lexi I’m not a big fan of Alexandra, Alexandria, Alexa or Alexis... I haven’t heard many alternatives other than Ellexia Pronounced Elle-x-ia rather than E-Lexia so her nickname could be Elle or Lexi. If you have any other suggestions I would really participate it! I love your channel xxx

[@lisamillers165]

Lexi is a beautiful name. You could use it as her full name. Maybe you could spell it as Lexie/Lexee/Lexxi to make it different. That aside, Lexington is cute.

[@Andrea-gg1wc]

my favorite thing to do is go on the Wikipedia pages for paint colors and find names. I love the name Cerise for a girl, Jet, Caspian, Lavender, Kelly, and Marigold. I also really resonate with the name Chesko which i made up inspired by chestnut brown haha
