Here are some of my ideas for the questions sent in: I’m thinking a classic middle name for Sophiel like Rose or Grace. Moses and Jem don’t sound very feminine to me at all, they’re not my cup of tea but I say go for it!!! Middle name for Sylvester could be Grant or Beau. I like Beatrix Beasley, sounds like a movie star aha. Emma and Etta are quite similar, maybe use a longer name and use the nickname Etta like Julietta or Anetta.
Fee Marie my baby sister’s name is Emma & my dad mixes us up all the time! Emma and Etta is too much for me. I also like your younger sisters’ names, but I agree with them. That sounds too similar.
I wouldn't have siblings called Emma and Etta because I'm Australian and no matter how much I love those names, no one in this country enunciates properly! Including me. So it would become Emma'n'edda, BUT if your British and pronounce your t's properly I think they are so cute together
For the Emma and Etta question: In my family there is a Chrislyn, Katheryn, and Christian. We all got called each others names when the family was together. Maybe if the names were compounded with a short middle name each it could work. Emma-Mae and Etta-Faith
Matilda Anderson I agree they’re a bit to similar. I have nieces (not twins) named Avery an Emery and I mix up there names all the time! I always feel bad because the older one always has to correct me! 🤦🏻♀️
me and my sister are called emma and ella and it is very very confusing for everyone. we look similar as well and do let’s just say people get us mixed up very easily. at this point we don’t expect anyone to get our names right 😂😂
I love Harley and lulu 💕 also, for the Beatrix Beasley conundrum, maybe put it as a middle name? I love Beatrix but a b b name is hard. How about Mable Beatrix Beasley? Keeps the b sound but is less of a mouthful 🥰
I love Beatrix Beasley. It reminds me of comic book names. Like Peter Parker, Clark Kent, Pepper Potts, Susan Storm. I love alliteration names. Bea Beasley is such a cute name! Especially if you give her a unique middle name, that is a contrast from both the first and last.
You're definitely a pro. My mind would explode if I had to think so much about names even tho I love it. I adore all of your ideas and I hope all the mamas find it useful and fill their minds with ideas after watching this. About the one syllable baby girl names I love Sage, Blythe, Hope and Rose. Christmas names for boys: Nathaniel and Christopher are my favorites (btw do you have a suggestion for a middle name for Christopher- 4 letters name if possible ?). Thanks for taking your time to help your viewes, reply the comments and be so gentle everytime xx
I listen to baby name videos before I go to sleep and I have fallen asleep to this video 3 times in a row and I can never get it finished 😂 not saying the videos are boring I actually love them. This one had lots of great names! Love this series
For O names I am loving Ophelia at the moment. Lots of ways to shorten it as well. Ostara is also lovely - she is the Goddess after whom Easter is named. There are lots of theories on the name but consistently she is seen as a Goddess of light or bringing light
Amelia Davidson - I love the name Kitty, it's a family name for me (Katharine is anyway and all its short forms and variations) and I plan on using it myself one day to honour my grandmother Kitty. If you think she might be teased, or you might be, maybe go for a variation of Katharine? Kathleen?Caitlin? Etc.? And have Kitty as a nickname? That way if your little girl wanted she could change her nickname amoungst friends to Katie/Katy or Kath or Cait/Kate but always be little Kitty to you?
well my name is kathleen and I’ve never been teased for it, I’ve often been told my name gives a vintage feel but still loved currently. kathleen is a name most have heard of, however it is not as common as katharine, which is always nice to be unique. i go by katie with family and lee with friends totally up to you obviously! cheers!
I love that! I actually have a daughter whos real name is Finley, but we call her Finn. Her middle name is Jacqueline, and I love another Finley Jacqueline in the world. Other name options for her middle name were Brooke, Paige, Rayne, Mae, and Bronwyn.
My sister and I are named Hayley and Mia and I always thought it rolled off the tongue so nicely! Our dad is also Scandinavian and even we go to Finland, there are no pronunciation issues. Snatch up these names if you feel you want to!
Hi SJ, Thank you for answering our dilemma regarding my partners military past. The middle name Honor we absolutely love, Poppy would be a great one but the first name we have decided on is Primrose so possibly a bit much all in one 😊 xx
I absolutely love Etta for a girl. My husband insists that Emma is his favorite girl name (I’ve worked in daycare for the last seven years and I’m a bit jaded on Emma at this point) but it just seems a little too used for me. It’s been the top girl name where I live for a long time. Etta, on the other hand, sounds SO lovely! Especially in your accent... but I live in the US, where I’m almost certain everyone would make it sound more like “Edda” and that just sounds a little less attractive to me haha. I’m pregnant with baby #3 and we have yet to find out the sex. Thanks for this list and all your ideas!
I’m expecting triplet girls in May and still don’t have a middle name for them. Their first names are Charlotte, Erin and Lola. Any ideas or help? Thanks :)
What do you think to the name Wolfe as a boy. Do you think it's too much? I have a son called Otto which is German and I love the name Wolfe short for Wolfegang also german. X
Any ideas on middle names for Tess and Alexander? I like names that are vintage, but not so vintage that they're out of fashion, and I prefer softer sounding names as well
I love Howie/Howard but worry that Leonard and Howard are too Big Bang Theory 😆. I LOVE naming children, just hard to reach that final decision! Thanks for your suggestions x
you said you always get Freddie and Finn mixed up, and worried about similar names i'm Amy and i have sisters and brothers they're names are Josie, Cassie, Lennon and Scott and i still get called Lennon and are names are not really alike so its okay its not just with same first letter names. Love your videos x
Hi SJ! Thank you for making this video. My husband and I are expecting our first who is a baby boy. I recall hearing the name Merritt from one of your videos. My husband and I love the name but I wanted to make sure it'd be suitable for a boy?
SJ I love this!! but I was so excited to hear your suggestions for my question I had :( I thought you were answering all of the questions sent in? Maybe you can do this again?? I told my friend about the middle names I liked and told her you were so good at coming up with names and that I couldn’t wait to see what you came up for me, no worries though x
My family is Russian, and all my siblings and I have pretty unique names like Agafia and Lukina and Ilya, but there are lots and lots of Olgas, Katyas, Tatianas, and Irinas in our family. I’m wondering if you know of any Russian girl names that aren’t so common? Just out of curiosity :)
Question for your next video! Due in early May with our first baby girl ❤ our favorite name, Evelyn Rose, was recently used by a family member. Husband vetoed my favorite Vanessa, and I'm not sure about his favorite Adaline. Found the name Eilidh on one of your videos and we both really like it (would spell it Ayleigh to avoid pronunciation issues) but we are worried it sounds too much like a nickname and not an actual name. What do you think? Suggestions for alternatives? Thanks!!!
I would love to hear suggestions for a first name for our baby girl coming in April. The middle name is likely to be Stevie-Kate after two of her grandparents and surname also starts with "S". Ideas so far are Maeve, Clara and Cara. We are an Irish-Australian family.
You know Irish names are so beautiful! The names you have a lovely names.Nice names are: Siobhan, Saoirse( I love these 2, though they start with S). Also, Eileen, Rowan, Nora, or Norah, Megan, Mirren, Emlyn, Brigid, Nessa, Anya, Tierney, Tara, Delaney, Alannah, Fiona, Carys, Orla, Kira, Clodagh, Shannon, McKenna, Roisin(Ro-Sheen) It means "little Rose". Breena, Moira, and Molly. I love Catriona and Codelia, but they might not be right for the middle name Stevie-Kate?Congrats on your baby girl!
Hi SJ, My husband and I are just starting to try for our first baby. I've been finishing up grad school so we've had about a year of talking about names and are having a hard time finding names we both like, particularly for boys. My husband is Mexican and our last name is Valdez. I'm English and Italian. We'd like to find a name that all family members can easily pronounce and we'd love your help. We've been looking at a lot of Spanish or Italian names. We'd also really like them to be a bit unique. Baby girl names we love are Evelina and Viviana. I like Emma but it's become too popular for our tastes. We love the feminine sound of those names. For boys, my husband really likes Leonardo (Leo for short) but I'm not too fond of it. I like Giovani but my husband doesn't. Any suggestions? Jena and Daniel Valdez
I have four cousins who were born in the late 1950's. Their names are Penny, Peggy, Patty and Perry. They were fine with their names all starting with a P.
1. Enfys (Pronounced Envis,) It's a welsh name and means Rainbow. Erin and Enfys would be beautiful or even Erin and Forbes. 3. I like Ares, but that may be too out there for you. It's just such a stunning name, especially if you're following the greek theme. 4. Viviette is so freaking beautiful. 5. I love Talular and Dove, but more Dove than anything else. 6. Gretta is lovely. Maybe Hilda or Maeve? 7. Tess and Beth are lovely. Lane is also beautiful and Dot and Faye are also great 1-syllable names. 8. Sophiel is a beautiful name. Maybe though, because it's so out there, you'd want something more inclusive as the middle name. Sophidl Lavender still goes with the floral theme that Lauretta has, but it's more popular and I think they fit beautifully together. 9. Isaiah, Jeremiah, Remmington, Emmerson. I love the name Caleb. I'm not sure about the popularity of these names, but they definitely work. 10. Camile is great. Leila, Estelle, Violet? I love Alice and Charlotte. 11. I think the nature theme is great. Maybe Laurel? It fits so beautifully with the middle name too. 13 Aubern for a girl is fantastic. I'm going to disagree on Silas again, SJ. I still adore it for a girl way more than I should. Elsa is beautiful. Anastasia? Everett? 14. Vaughn is great. 15. I think if you shorten it to Trice and not Beah, you should be fine. 16. I'm Colette (First name, not the name I go by with everyone who isn't family), and my brother is Chris. Emma and Etta are so close to each other, but in the end, it's your decision. 17. Kye, Kyla, Keke, Kristiana, Knightly, Khaleesi, Kingsley is nice.
my siblings and I are, in order, Janine Adele, Robert John Bernard and me, Jillian Joy. My sister is older so in school a lot of my teachers would call me Janine lol, didn't really bother me. My parents (and lots of other people) mix up our names, but I also get called by my nieces name Violet.. so I don't think it really matters using the same letter twice!
Dove, Sunny and Tallulah are so cute!! Dove reminds me of Dove Cameron and Sunny reminds me of the baby from a series of unfortunate events. I know a couple of Tallulahs too!
About the Beatrix Beasley... although it sounds quite nice it is a mouthful for kids to pronounce! I'm a Beatriz myself and my last name is German and really long, so learning how to pronounce and write it properly was a pain!
Anyone have any triplets name combinations? I think I’d be cute maybe to start the names with one letter. For example for L, Loriele, London, Loui. But I also think I’d be nice to have the names start different. What’s most important for me is different endings. I like names that are vintage names names as well as newer unique names.
I really like 'l' sounds in names so you could link it that way, without necessarily being the first letter (eg. Elsie, Elowen, Lotta)- those are my personal favourites and quite vintage but not too weird!
Hiya SJ! We are currently looking for a baby girls name! Something to go well with Serina and Zander. I’ve scrolled through every baby name I can think of, nothing is catching our heart 😩🌸
I know your comment is 2 years old... but! My name is Serina (I've never met another one spelled like me!) and my sisters are Katrina and Deanna. I think they're lovely together :) And I love Zander, too!
Absolutley love Irish names! Caoimhe (Keela), Eabha (can be prounounced eve, or eva, or ava) the Irish spelling of Niamh, or names like Cadhla (Kayla) Or Keidhleidh (Kaylee)!
First names for the middle name Juliette? I like Annabelle, Brielle, Clara, Delfina, Evelyn, Felicity, Gabriella, Hadley, Henrietta, Ilsa, Jenessa, Katrina, Liliana, Linden, Madeline, Marciana, Mirabella.
How about the names... ♀️ Denize Synica Prisca Andrea Verlyn Glancy Kriscia Rachel Criselle Cecil Bapsy Andrea Valencia Suzan ♂️ Azriel Astelle Keegan Nash Preston Asher Gilon Rennell Wallace Adrian Blaise Elias Ignatius Leslie
RainbowSocks thank you! I was the one who asked that question, I love that name so so much, but the reaction I get from it is either great or terrible, some people compare it to the soap and chocolate 😞
For the similar siblings names question, I like siblings names with the same starting letters. For example my name is Autumn and my husbands name is Elliot. Our son is Easton and we are planning our second pregnancy and pretty much only looking at A & E names.
For the questions : for Sophiel (btw this name is so cool) middle names that popped in my head were Dawn, Bree or brynn and Wren. Moses and Jem do not sound feminine at all to me. For Sylvester, some middle names I thought of were Hugo, James and Levi. As for Emma and Etta, these names are beautiful and they would go well together however they are similar but I think you could get away with it. As for Kitty, I wouldn’t use it (for the bullying part) but the nickname Kit is super cute! For Juliette , I like the double “t” so I was thinking Violetta Juliette, Scarlett Juliette or if not I also liked Claire Juliette and Lucy Juliette.
I have a huge dilemma! The baby name Adelyn or Adalynn whatever the spelling is very popular, I chose to add a D and make it Adelynd... wondering if there’s any meanings for the name? Love your baby name videos!
Love you SJ! I just had my first baby boy and I want a British boy name start with A. I am looking for the name easy to pronounce and quite trendy. How about Austin? Or do you have any other good ideas?
Thank you SJ. I love Fergus, it was actually my mum's maiden name aswell so it is up the top of the boys list. We live on a highland cow farm and my husband calls all the bulls Angus so I think that one is out. Finella is nice, I knew a girl a Uni called Finella but it's not really us, it's a bit to posh in my opinion.
I think for twins girls I love the names Violet and Elsie, will definitely use even if I don’t have twins and my partner agrees to it. And for twin boys I love Ruairidh (Rury) and Gus, I just think it’s so cute.
I love Odette for a girl because its French and my name has french origins so I like the connection some similar names could be, Cosette, Camille, Amelie, Clara
I’m not sure why :( but I can’t see a previous comment of mine. I asked about a name for middle names Cora Lynette. I’m not pregnant but those names are important for me to use and I’m not sure where to start with looking for first names that go with them. Maybe you can do another video like this? I thought you were going to answer all of them, I got my hopes up😇
Seriously still can't get Haven holidays parks out of my head. SJ would it be possible to start writing the baby names on the video in larger and more simplistic fonts so those of us who are dyslexic can read them easier off the screen? I often find the name is too squiggley for me to read well or doesn't stay on the screen long enough. Just a suggestion. Xx
SJ, You should absolutely check out this woman called Taina Licciaro-Toivola (she has a yt channel) . She has 10 kids and they have really spacial names. I don’t know all by heart but some are Romeo, Shakespeare, Jerusalem and Omega.
Kiki is a term in the UK and USA gay and LGBTQ+ community that grew out of Black American Gay social culture and literally means a group or gathering of gays gossiping and chatting. Some of you may have heard the Scissor Sisters song "Let's Have A Kiki"... Despite this, the term hasn't always been in gay culture and is more of a recent thing made more popular by RuPauls Drag Race. Although there was a gay bar / night club named Kiki in Manchesters gay village. Before I even knew this term existed I actually met a woman called Kiki at work, although she was not from the UK.
@@SJ_Strum Thank you! We are half Finnish half British family and I have gotten so much negativity over my kids names. In Finland, generally the name is pronounced the way it is written. When Greta was born, I was told the name is ugly, too old fashiones, too hard and too strong name for a girl. Now that she is older, one family member told me that they hated the name but now my daughter has grown to really look like the name. Not sure what that says of how they feel about my kid really. With Henry, his name with my Finnish lastname is often seen as "white trash" as commonly foreing names with Finn lastnames are not automatically viewed as "halfbloods" but rather trying to "be cool by giving weird name". And as I want the name to be pronounced the english way, so many negative comments have been given saying that they refuse to do so as we currently live in Finland and therefor follow the naming rules. Sorry for having such long post, I was just wondering if anyone else has such hard time with their family and friends when it comes to naming kids. I have loads of family members that give, in my opinion, much less common names than I do, yet for some reason I seem to get the most open comments of it. I am feeling really stressed over thinking of having a third child as I want to have a large family, but I am fed up with getting negative comments. My kids full names are Greta Alissa Alexandra and Henry Kalle Kristofer. I tried to make them somewhat working in Finland and abroad and to have family names in there (as well as my theme of having two of the same letters as middle names) but I just seem to get a miss on everyone elses eyes everytime.
Well, at first I thought Luca was strictly a boy's name, but ,come to think of it, it would sound quite adorable on a little girl.I have some suggestions for you. What about: Luca Bella? I think it would be so pretty! Also, Luca Vivienne, Luca Gabrielle, Luca Abigail, Luca Brielle, Luca Evangeline, , Luca Emily, Luca Frances,or Luca Francesca , Luca Simone, Luca Annabel, Luca Genevieve, Luca Scarlett, Luca Audrey and Luca Alice. These are all so cute! I love Luca Bella and Francesca, even Luca Isabelle. because the sound so feminine and go well with. Luca. I really like the name now.I hop this will help? God bless !
I know I'm late to the party, but my brother's name is Joshua Caleb, which I just LOVE! It's a very biblical name, has a very strong leadership qualities to it. My husband is also named Joshua, and his family have a tradition of giving their first born boy their father's name as a middle name. I hated Joshua as a middle name (it just doesn't seem to mesh well) until I heard of the boxer Anthony Joshua, and somehow suddenly I love it! Caleb Joshua would be very sweet for anyone that likes Caleb and appreciates Biblical names :)
Our last name is Carlo which has caused such an issue with the style of names I used to love. We loved the name Marlow but I don't want the first and last name to rhyme. My husband and I love the names Margot Barrett and the name Ottilie which are very French. But we are SO stuck on boy names. Help!
21. I've recently read "To all the boys I loved before" I love Kitty so much and was thinking about it as a name this afternoon, actually. 26. Iris is crazily beautiful. 27. Karen, Margot, Mariana, Lola, Kirsten Juliette? 28. I love Apollo. Following the god theme, you could do Hermes as well. I don't know if you're comfortable with that though, so Cade is great too. Truman is also kind of out there, so maybe that one could work too. 29. Dorris, Dolores, Ellanor? 30. Ingrid, Aimee, Elsa or Elsie, Elize, Iesha, Asia, O'ryan? I love Enya Reece, but I don't know if you'd go for that.
Dove - too unusual as a first for me but as a middle could be gorgeous. Sunny - I prefer the spelling Sonny. Talullah - LOVE this, so many nice nicknames could come from this and think Talullah Dove would be gorgeous. I have a friend who has a daughter called Loretta Devine - HOW GORGEOUS AND FLOWY IS THAT?! Names I like for me - JED & RUDY for boys MABEL & MYA for girls Xx

Moses and Jem definitely not too feminine, I love them!
Tahnee Measday Jem is so cute, it reminds me of jeb or jim but totally more unique.
Here are some of my ideas for the questions sent in: I’m thinking a classic middle name for Sophiel like Rose or Grace. Moses and Jem don’t sound very feminine to me at all, they’re not my cup of tea but I say go for it!!! Middle name for Sylvester could be Grant or Beau. I like Beatrix Beasley, sounds like a movie star aha. Emma and Etta are quite similar, maybe use a longer name and use the nickname Etta like Julietta or Anetta.
My two little sisters are called Elina (13) and Elona (11) and they hate having similar names
Fee Marie my baby sister’s name is Emma & my dad mixes us up all the time! Emma and Etta is too much for me. I also like your younger sisters’ names, but I agree with them. That sounds too similar.
I have an Elaina, Elisa, and Evelina lol I wonder if they’ll hate having all E names too xD
Have they considered going by nick names? one could be Ellie and the other could either be Lina or Lona
I wouldn't have siblings called Emma and Etta because I'm Australian and no matter how much I love those names, no one in this country enunciates properly! Including me. So it would become Emma'n'edda, BUT if your British and pronounce your t's properly I think they are so cute together
For the Emma and Etta question:
In my family there is a Chrislyn, Katheryn, and Christian. We all got called each others names when the family was together. Maybe if the names were compounded with a short middle name each it could work. Emma-Mae and Etta-Faith
Emma and Etta are too similar I think although I lovvveee Etta so beautiful
Matilda Anderson I like the idea of maybe doing reverse initials for this pair, so maybe Etta Jane and Josie Emma? Could work.
schasse2011 yeah that could work, Josie isn’t a favourite of mine but Etta Jayne is a stunning name!
Matilda Anderson glad you like Etta Jayne! 💕
Matilda Anderson I agree they’re a bit to similar. I have nieces (not twins) named Avery an Emery and I mix up there names all the time! I always feel bad because the older one always has to correct me! 🤦🏻♀️
me and my sister are called emma and ella and it is very very confusing for everyone. we look similar as well and do let’s just say people get us mixed up very easily. at this point we don’t expect anyone to get our names right 😂😂
I love Harley and lulu 💕 also, for the Beatrix Beasley conundrum, maybe put it as a middle name? I love Beatrix but a b b name is hard. How about Mable Beatrix Beasley? Keeps the b sound but is less of a mouthful 🥰
Trixie Beasley - there you go... sorted!
I love Beatrix Beasley. It reminds me of comic book names. Like Peter Parker, Clark Kent, Pepper Potts, Susan Storm. I love alliteration names. Bea Beasley is such a cute name! Especially if you give her a unique middle name, that is a contrast from both the first and last.
Bexleigh or Bexley
Baby Name Monday is my favourite. Absolutely great for inspiration💗😂 love you SJ
Ah thank you xxxx
The lady that wanted a name to go with Elizabeth... Josephine is perfect, same length, same vibe. Love it!
Some ideas for Juliette:
Haven Juliette
Gemma Juliette
Ada Juliette
Ruby Juliette
Tessa Juliette
Jenny Juliette
Emma Juliette
Hannah Flynn Ruby Juliette is a great name!!
I think Lila Juliette would be great
i love ada juliette
I LOVE Gemma Juliette. BEAUTIFUL
Haven is over used around here but it's cute what about eden juliette. Eva juliette brinley ginger calista felicity? Any of those
Some flower names that I never hear being used for actual names are Gladioli, Cereus, Orchid, Hibiscus, Foxglove, Bellflower, & Calamint
You're definitely a pro. My mind would explode if I had to think so much about names even tho I love it. I adore all of your ideas and I hope all the mamas find it useful and fill their minds with ideas after watching this. About the one syllable baby girl names I love Sage, Blythe, Hope and Rose.

Thanks for taking your time to help your viewes, reply the comments and be so gentle everytime xx
What about Christopher Lane? or Christopher Mark? or Christopher Rael? This one is not 4 but Christopher Perice?
Mckenzy Chase you’re a genious. I love all of your suggestions. They match perfectly with Nathaniel and Christopher ♥️
I listen to baby name videos before I go to sleep and I have fallen asleep to this video 3 times in a row and I can never get it finished 😂 not saying the videos are boring I actually love them. This one had lots of great names! Love this series
For O names I am loving Ophelia at the moment. Lots of ways to shorten it as well. Ostara is also lovely - she is the Goddess after whom Easter is named. There are lots of theories on the name but consistently she is seen as a Goddess of light or bringing light
I think that Jem would forever be explaining that his name isn’t Jim/ James.
Ever read the infernal devices?
He would also have to explain that his name is spelled with a J instead of a G.
My nickname is jem
Thank you for including our dilemma, so many lovely names on here and Monty is on our list! xx
My mums called Alma fab name for a baby and will suit when all grown up to x
Amelia Davidson - I love the name Kitty, it's a family name for me (Katharine is anyway and all its short forms and variations) and I plan on using it myself one day to honour my grandmother Kitty.

My middle name is Katherine and I love it. I think Kitty is so sweet!
So I recently discovered the name Fenne for a girl (pronounced as Finn) and I'm in love! I just can't find a middle name for it. Open for anything
I love that! I actually have a daughter whos real name is Finley, but we call her Finn. Her middle name is Jacqueline, and I love another Finley Jacqueline in the world. Other name options for her middle name were Brooke, Paige, Rayne, Mae, and Bronwyn.
@@JacquiStClair-yp3du Omg that's perfect! I have a grandmother named Jacqueline and I just never thought to consider it.
My sister and I are named Hayley and Mia and I always thought it rolled off the tongue so nicely! Our dad is also Scandinavian and even we go to Finland, there are no pronunciation issues. Snatch up these names if you feel you want to!
Love alliterative names! I think Beatrix Beasley is adorable
Agree
For Juliette- Maren, Clara, Flora, Nova, and Thea. Congrats
Sunny and Tallulah are some of my most favourite names, I love them! And Dove is lovely too!
Hi SJ, Thank you for answering our dilemma regarding my partners military past.
The middle name Honor we absolutely love, Poppy would be a great one but the first name we have decided on is Primrose so possibly a bit much all in one 😊 xx
I was so shocked to say that I love Goldeheve! What a cool name! Goldie or Evie for short are great!
I absolutely love Etta for a girl. My husband insists that Emma is his favorite girl name (I’ve worked in daycare for the last seven years and I’m a bit jaded on Emma at this point) but it just seems a little too used for me. It’s been the top girl name where I live for a long time. Etta, on the other hand, sounds SO lovely! Especially in your accent... but I live in the US, where I’m almost certain everyone would make it sound more like “Edda” and that just sounds a little less attractive to me haha. I’m pregnant with baby #3 and we have yet to find out the sex. Thanks for this list and all your ideas!
I’m expecting triplet girls in May and still don’t have a middle name for them. Their first names are Charlotte, Erin and Lola. Any ideas or help? Thanks :)
Libby Harmes
Charlotte raye
Erin ira
Lola violet
What do you think to the name Wolfe as a boy. Do you think it's too much? I have a son called Otto which is German and I love the name Wolfe short for Wolfegang also german. X
Liberty would be a beautiful middle name!!
Wow goldeheve is beautiful and that meaning😍
Amazing isn't it x
Any ideas on middle names for Tess and Alexander? I like names that are vintage, but not so vintage that they're out of fashion, and I prefer softer sounding names as well
For the floral named girl, I think the name Rosanna could work because even though it is not completely floral, it gives a nod to the rose flower.
I love Howie/Howard but worry that Leonard and Howard are too Big Bang Theory 😆. I LOVE naming children, just hard to reach that final decision! Thanks for your suggestions x
you said you always get Freddie and Finn mixed up, and worried about similar names i'm Amy and i have sisters and brothers they're names are Josie, Cassie, Lennon and Scott and i still get called Lennon and are names are not really alike so its okay its not just with same first letter names. Love your videos x
Love any video that compliments your name straight away 💕
Hi SJ! Thank you for making this video. My husband and I are expecting our first who is a baby boy. I recall hearing the name Merritt from one of your videos. My husband and I love the name but I wanted to make sure it'd be suitable for a boy?
It is suitable for a boy, in the movie Now you see me Woody Harrelson's character is called Merritt. It's a beautiful name!
Thank you very much for your reply! We adore the name!
Totally works! Sounds like a little rambunctious boy.
Ha ha! @@taeoxtae
Yes it really is! It's such a cute name; really unique xx
SJ I love this!! but I was so excited to hear your suggestions for my question I had :( I thought you were answering all of the questions sent in? Maybe you can do this again?? I told my friend about the middle names I liked and told her you were so good at coming up with names and that I couldn’t wait to see what you came up for me, no worries though x
Thank you so much for you advice on a middle name for Sylvester! Can’t wait to discuss these options with my husband. 😘
You're welcome! xxxx

My family is Russian, and all my siblings and I have pretty unique names like Agafia and Lukina and Ilya, but there are lots and lots of Olgas, Katyas, Tatianas, and Irinas in our family. I’m wondering if you know of any Russian girl names that aren’t so common? Just out of curiosity :)
Question for your next video! Due in early May with our first baby girl ❤ our favorite name, Evelyn Rose, was recently used by a family member. Husband vetoed my favorite Vanessa, and I'm not sure about his favorite Adaline. Found the name Eilidh on one of your videos and we both really like it (would spell it Ayleigh to avoid pronunciation issues) but we are worried it sounds too much like a nickname and not an actual name. What do you think? Suggestions for alternatives? Thanks!!!
Dove just reminds me of soap ! But tullulah lovely - sunny lovely for girl not keen for boy... Etta so cute. X
Erin is also ireland, and Dove Cameron is a famous young lady in america, and Matteo is italian for Matthew
I love the twin combo Alba and Josie. I don’t know why I just think they sound so pretty together.
my name is Aaliyah (pronounced like the r&b singer) Juliette and I think it flows really nicely.
I would love to hear suggestions for a first name for our baby girl coming in April. The middle name is likely to be Stevie-Kate after two of her grandparents and surname also starts with "S". Ideas so far are Maeve, Clara and Cara. We are an Irish-Australian family.
You know Irish names are so beautiful! The names you have a lovely names.Nice names are: Siobhan, Saoirse( I love these 2, though they start with S). Also, Eileen, Rowan, Nora, or Norah, Megan, Mirren, Emlyn, Brigid, Nessa, Anya, Tierney, Tara, Delaney, Alannah, Fiona, Carys, Orla, Kira, Clodagh, Shannon, McKenna, Roisin(Ro-Sheen) It means "little Rose". Breena, Moira, and Molly. I love Catriona and Codelia, but they might not be right for the middle name Stevie-Kate?Congrats on your baby girl!
Hi SJ,
My husband and I are just starting to try for our first baby. I've been finishing up grad school so we've had about a year of talking about names and are having a hard time finding names we both like, particularly for boys. My husband is Mexican and our last name is Valdez. I'm English and Italian. We'd like to find a name that all family members can easily pronounce and we'd love your help. We've been looking at a lot of Spanish or Italian names. We'd also really like them to be a bit unique. Baby girl names we love are Evelina and Viviana. I like Emma but it's become too popular for our tastes. We love the feminine sound of those names. For boys, my husband really likes Leonardo (Leo for short) but I'm not too fond of it. I like Giovani but my husband doesn't. Any suggestions?
Jena and Daniel Valdez
Jena Parsons I know this is an old post but the first thing that came to my mind was Enzo or Lorenzo for your family!
Cute quirky name to go with Marty= Fitz! Love that one or Digby
i go by allie by my name is actually alma. i’ve never seen it in a baby name video/list before. so cool!
I have four cousins who were born in the late 1950's. Their names are Penny, Peggy, Patty and Perry. They were fine with their names all starting with a P.
1. Enfys (Pronounced Envis,) It's a welsh name and means Rainbow. Erin and Enfys would be beautiful or even Erin and Forbes.
3. I like Ares, but that may be too out there for you. It's just such a stunning name, especially if you're following the greek theme.
4. Viviette is so freaking beautiful.
5. I love Talular and Dove, but more Dove than anything else.
6. Gretta is lovely. Maybe Hilda or Maeve?
7. Tess and Beth are lovely. Lane is also beautiful and Dot and Faye are also great 1-syllable names.
8. Sophiel is a beautiful name. Maybe though, because it's so out there, you'd want something more inclusive as the middle name. Sophidl Lavender still goes with the floral theme that Lauretta has, but it's more popular and I think they fit beautifully together.
9. Isaiah, Jeremiah, Remmington, Emmerson. I love the name Caleb. I'm not sure about the popularity of these names, but they definitely work.
10. Camile is great. Leila, Estelle, Violet? I love Alice and Charlotte.
11. I think the nature theme is great. Maybe Laurel? It fits so beautifully with the middle name too.
13 Aubern for a girl is fantastic. I'm going to disagree on Silas again, SJ. I still adore it for a girl way more than I should. Elsa is beautiful. Anastasia? Everett?
14. Vaughn is great.
15. I think if you shorten it to Trice and not Beah, you should be fine.
16. I'm Colette (First name, not the name I go by with everyone who isn't family), and my brother is Chris. Emma and Etta are so close to each other, but in the end, it's your decision.
17. Kye, Kyla, Keke, Kristiana, Knightly, Khaleesi, Kingsley is nice.
As for the names beginning with the same letter, my older brothers (3 years apart) are called Peter and Philip and it works fine :))
Oh boy! I thought i knew what we were naming this next baby but now.... so many great choices and meanings...
Beatrice and Beasley for some reason reminds me of junie b Jones B is for Beatrice book..I loved those books when little
my siblings and I are, in order, Janine Adele, Robert John Bernard and me, Jillian Joy. My sister is older so in school a lot of my teachers would call me Janine lol, didn't really bother me. My parents (and lots of other people) mix up our names, but I also get called by my nieces name Violet.. so I don't think it really matters using the same letter twice!
Dove, Sunny and Tallulah are so cute!! Dove reminds me of Dove Cameron and Sunny reminds me of the baby from a series of unfortunate events. I know a couple of Tallulahs too!
Loved this video!!!! Such good ideas SJ xx
About the Beatrix Beasley... although it sounds quite nice it is a mouthful for kids to pronounce! I'm a Beatriz myself and my last name is German and really long, so learning how to pronounce and write it properly was a pain!
Iris is a lovely floral name
Anyone have any triplets name combinations? I think I’d be cute maybe to start the names with one letter. For example for L, Loriele, London, Loui. But I also think I’d be nice to have the names start different. What’s most important for me is different endings. I like names that are vintage names names as well as newer unique names.
Carolina Oleynik
girl:
Amy, Amora, Alice
Leah, Vivian, Cairo
boy:
Cordan, Cairo, Christian
Rudy, Kurtis, Breyan
boy boy girl:
Raymond, Ronald, Ruth
Freddie, Zyler, Alexia
boy girl girl:
Braxton, Bethany, Beatrice
Logan, Violet, Daisy
dogs go bark Why thank you very much! The name combinations are lovely! I especially like that name Braxton. It is very new to me.
All girls: Loxley, Lauren, Lara
All boys: Hadrian, Hunter, Helix
I really like 'l' sounds in names so you could link it that way, without necessarily being the first letter (eg. Elsie, Elowen, Lotta)- those are my personal favourites and quite vintage but not too weird!
Hannah Jones I LOVE That idea it’s far more creative than what I have imagined. I’ll definitely take that into consideration!
I love your dilemma videos!!💗❤️
Hiya SJ! We are currently looking for a baby girls name! Something to go well with Serina and Zander. I’ve scrolled through every baby name I can think of, nothing is catching our heart 😩🌸
I know i am not SJ but i am hoping that i can help! Do you like the names Suri or Zaria? Best of luck with your little girl!
I know your comment is 2 years old... but! My name is Serina (I've never met another one spelled like me!) and my sisters are Katrina and Deanna. I think they're lovely together :) And I love Zander, too!
Looking for a cute and rare middle name for Otis. It should also be easy to pronounce.
How about Everett, Auden or Arbor? Love the name Otis btw!
You’ve used so many names that I have picked out. One of my favorite names is Truett which kind of plays off of Truman
Lovely names in this video. Please please make a surnames as first names video 😍 x
Beatrice beesley is a lovely name go with it cx
Beatrix Beasley is really cute - could nickname her BB
Absolutley love Irish names! Caoimhe (Keela), Eabha (can be prounounced eve, or eva, or ava) the Irish spelling of Niamh, or names like Cadhla (Kayla) Or Keidhleidh (Kaylee)!
Caoimhe and keela are pronounced extremely different?
caoimhe frazer yes! Caoimhe is kee-va and Keela is key-la !
First names for the middle name Juliette? I like Annabelle, Brielle, Clara, Delfina, Evelyn, Felicity, Gabriella, Hadley, Henrietta, Ilsa, Jenessa, Katrina, Liliana, Linden, Madeline, Marciana, Mirabella.

I think Dove is really cute, and it goes with different ages 💚
RainbowSocks thank you! I was the one who asked that question, I love that name so so much, but the reaction I get from it is either great or terrible, some people compare it to the soap and chocolate 😞
@@taryn7486 aw how mean of them! If you love it, go for it, it's lovely.
For the similar siblings names question, I like siblings names with the same starting letters. For example my name is Autumn and my husbands name is Elliot. Our son is Easton and we are planning our second pregnancy and pretty much only looking at A & E names.
My daughter is Odessa which is a nice alternative to Odette
For the questions : for Sophiel (btw this name is so cool) middle names that popped in my head were Dawn, Bree or brynn and Wren. Moses and Jem do not sound feminine at all to me. For Sylvester, some middle names I thought of were Hugo, James and Levi. As for Emma and Etta, these names are beautiful and they would go well together however they are similar but I think you could get away with it. As for Kitty, I wouldn’t use it (for the bullying part) but the nickname Kit is super cute! For Juliette , I like the double “t” so I was thinking Violetta Juliette, Scarlett Juliette or if not I also liked Claire Juliette and Lucy Juliette.
How about Amalie Juliette? Also, for the Marty McFly fan, about about Calvin? 😉
Ooooh I love that combination!
SJ Strum thank you! 🥰
I have a huge dilemma! The baby name Adelyn or Adalynn whatever the spelling is very popular, I chose to add a D and make it Adelynd... wondering if there’s any meanings for the name? Love your baby name videos!
Love you SJ! I just had my first baby boy and I want a British boy name start with A. I am looking for the name easy to pronounce and quite trendy. How about Austin? Or do you have any other good ideas?
Carrie Wang i love the name Atticus for a boy!
Lataisha Lee Thank you so much! That’s lovely!
Thank you SJ. I love Fergus, it was actually my mum's maiden name aswell so it is up the top of the boys list. We live on a highland cow farm and my husband calls all the bulls Angus so I think that one is out. Finella is nice, I knew a girl a Uni called Finella but it's not really us, it's a bit to posh in my opinion.
I looove Dove, but don’t really like Sunny and Tallulah.
I think for twins girls I love the names Violet and Elsie, will definitely use even if I don’t have twins and my partner agrees to it.
And for twin boys I love Ruairidh (Rury) and Gus, I just think it’s so cute.
Love those x
I love Odette for a girl because its French and my name has french origins so I like the connection some similar names could be, Cosette, Camille, Amelie, Clara
Kiki!!!! 🥰😍 pair it with Bonnie as a sibling name. Kiki - Double happiness and Bonnie - Beautiful and cheerful!
Lior _ Vibefeeler kiki is vagina in one language
I’m not sure why :( but I can’t see a previous comment of mine. I asked about a name for middle names Cora Lynette. I’m not pregnant but those names are important for me to use and I’m not sure where to start with looking for first names that go with them. Maybe you can do another video like this? I thought you were going to answer all of them, I got my hopes up😇
Elizabeth and Charlotte/Charlize/Charlene/Clara/Clarize/Clarissa. Edith or Florence go together with Elizabeth also very well, I think.
Seriously still can't get Haven holidays parks out of my head.
SJ would it be possible to start writing the baby names on the video in larger and more simplistic fonts so those of us who are dyslexic can read them easier off the screen?
I often find the name is too squiggley for me to read well or doesn't stay on the screen long enough. Just a suggestion. Xx
SJ, You should absolutely check out this woman called Taina Licciaro-Toivola (she has a yt channel) . She has 10 kids and they have really spacial names. I don’t know all by heart but some are Romeo, Shakespeare, Jerusalem and Omega.
A pretty flower name is PANSIE, there is also Zinnia
Kiki is a term in the UK and USA gay and LGBTQ+ community that grew out of Black American Gay social culture and literally means a group or gathering of gays gossiping and chatting. Some of you may have heard the Scissor Sisters song "Let's Have A Kiki"...
Despite this, the term hasn't always been in gay culture and is more of a recent thing made more popular by RuPauls Drag Race. Although there was a gay bar / night club named Kiki in Manchesters gay village.
Before I even knew this term existed I actually met a woman called Kiki at work, although she was not from the UK.
I like Tallulah but I do not like the other options. Then again, my kids are Greta and Henry, so who am I to talk LOL
Greta and Henry are so cute!!
@@SJ_Strum Thank you! We are half Finnish half British family and I have gotten so much negativity over my kids names. In Finland, generally the name is pronounced the way it is written. When Greta was born, I was told the name is ugly, too old fashiones, too hard and too strong name for a girl. Now that she is older, one family member told me that they hated the name but now my daughter has grown to really look like the name. Not sure what that says of how they feel about my kid really.
With Henry, his name with my Finnish lastname is often seen as "white trash" as commonly foreing names with Finn lastnames are not automatically viewed as "halfbloods" but rather trying to "be cool by giving weird name". And as I want the name to be pronounced the english way, so many negative comments have been given saying that they refuse to do so as we currently live in Finland and therefor follow the naming rules.
Sorry for having such long post, I was just wondering if anyone else has such hard time with their family and friends when it comes to naming kids. I have loads of family members that give, in my opinion, much less common names than I do, yet for some reason I seem to get the most open comments of it. I am feeling really stressed over thinking of having a third child as I want to have a large family, but I am fed up with getting negative comments.
My kids full names are Greta Alissa Alexandra and Henry Kalle Kristofer. I tried to make them somewhat working in Finland and abroad and to have family names in there (as well as my theme of having two of the same letters as middle names) but I just seem to get a miss on everyone elses eyes everytime.
Henrich Or Henry is on my short list
@@Kdm109 I was between Henri (which is the spelling in Finland), Henry, Henrik and Henrix.
Under Northern Star I like the spelling better on henrik over my Heinrich which I misspelled the first time.
Calix was my Latin name for Latin class, I picked it for the x in it
I'm struggling to find a middle name for the name Luca. I'm using it for a little girl so I was thinking something more feminine. Please help!
Chelsea Kay don’t know why but Luca Madeline was the first thing that came to mind! Good luck 💗
Well, at first I thought Luca was strictly a boy's name, but ,come to think of it, it would sound quite adorable on a little girl.I have some suggestions for you. What about: Luca Bella? I think it would be so pretty! Also, Luca Vivienne, Luca Gabrielle, Luca Abigail, Luca Brielle, Luca Evangeline, , Luca Emily, Luca Frances,or Luca Francesca , Luca Simone, Luca Annabel, Luca Genevieve, Luca Scarlett, Luca Audrey and Luca Alice. These are all so cute! I love Luca Bella and Francesca, even Luca Isabelle. because the sound so feminine and go well with. Luca. I really like the name now.I hop this will help? God bless !
Luca Mae? Luca Mielle? Miel is honey is French which I think is super cute and pretty
I have a Veronica Juliet.
Veronica meaning "true image"
Juliet meaning "youthful".
I know I'm late to the party, but my brother's name is Joshua Caleb, which I just LOVE! It's a very biblical name, has a very strong leadership qualities to it.
My husband is also named Joshua, and his family have a tradition of giving their first born boy their father's name as a middle name. I hated Joshua as a middle name (it just doesn't seem to mesh well) until I heard of the boxer Anthony Joshua, and somehow suddenly I love it!
Caleb Joshua would be very sweet for anyone that likes Caleb and appreciates Biblical names :)
Oh ah how do I always miss out on putting my name in for advice!!! I'll manage it next time you do one of these!! X
Our last name is Carlo which has caused such an issue with the style of names I used to love. We loved the name Marlow but I don't want the first and last name to rhyme. My husband and I love the names Margot Barrett and the name Ottilie which are very French. But we are SO stuck on boy names. Help!
Marcella is seriously a sweet name. Wondering if you’ve ever suggested it to anyone.
21. I've recently read "To all the boys I loved before" I love Kitty so much and was thinking about it as a name this afternoon, actually. 26. Iris is crazily beautiful.
27. Karen, Margot, Mariana, Lola, Kirsten Juliette?
28. I love Apollo. Following the god theme, you could do Hermes as well. I don't know if you're comfortable with that though, so Cade is great too. Truman is also kind of out there, so maybe that one could work too.
29. Dorris, Dolores, Ellanor?
30. Ingrid, Aimee, Elsa or Elsie, Elize, Iesha, Asia, O'ryan? I love Enya Reece, but I don't know if you'd go for that.
When I hear the name kitty all I can think of is that 70s show...
Dove - too unusual as a first for me but as a middle could be gorgeous.
Sunny - I prefer the spelling Sonny.
Talullah - LOVE this, so many nice nicknames could come from this and think Talullah Dove would be gorgeous.
I have a friend who has a daughter called Loretta Devine - HOW GORGEOUS AND FLOWY IS THAT?!
Names I like for me -
JED & RUDY for boys
MABEL & MYA for girls
Xx
