    I know it's not baby names... but I'd love to see you do a list of names to call grandparents, because if you have split families it is hard for each grandparent to have a nickname of their own!!!

    My fathers last name is Keelean, pronounced key-len and I have considered this as a first name for either a boy or a girl. It feels very versatile. It stems from Ireland and based on our family tree was originally spelled Keelan. So it would have a bit of heritage in it if we ever decided on that route.

    I’m having twins and planning on going with nature names! I’ve been obsessed with the name Evergreen for a little girl for a long time I haven’t seen it on any name lists or heard anyone called it but I just think it’s so pretty. Maybe Evie as a nickname. So cute! 🤗
    I also have Wilder and Hemlock on my list and Forest for a girl! As well as Elowen or Elowyn for a girl which means (elm tree) so pretty as well.

    We just had a baby boy. His name is Alfred Louis, nickname Alfie. :)
    I realize it's a pretty common name in the UK. We live in Austria and Alfred is not used at all. I think there were only a couple of Alfreds born in the last few decades, so it's pretty rare (which was very important to us). Alfie is not used at all as a name as well; I think it's not even ranked. Louis has gained in popularity in the last few years and is in the Top 20 - however, we used it to honor my husband's late uncle who's name was Alois.
    I've been following you for quite a while now and got the name Alfie from your videos and fell in love with it. :)

Tempest is another name I've had on my list since I was a teenager. Love it.

      layke- i would personally spell it traditionally, just lake, but i love this name!
      rivers- this is a little girls name in the show, but i think it could work for a boy! (especially if you drop the s and leave it at river)
      blu- this isn’t quite on your theme but you could probably stretch it to “the ocean blue” or something like that
