A CoJ reader named Apple requested a query that I can’t cease interested by…
“Can Cup of Jo PLEASE write one other child title put up?? I do know Jo is possibly now not within the child title zone, however there are such a lot of readers who would admire an opportunity to get title concepts from different readers — myself included!”
*Effectively*, I, too, have been hanging within the child title division as a result of coming this October, my husband Max and I can be welcoming our third child, a candy little lady! We’re so excited, and nowadays all we discuss is who we expect our new little nugget will resemble, how Emiliano goes to regulate to being a giant brother, and what we expect Ella will say the primary time she meets her little sister (right here’s a video of the primary time she met Emiliano).
However the matter that that retains us up late speaking in mattress? The newborn’s title. We’ve been racking our brains attempting to provide you with a reputation that matches, and, you guys, we’re struggling!
Again with our first child, Ella
We had strong plans after we named Ella and Emiliano. As quickly as we noticed the double strains on our being pregnant check for the primary time, each Max and I agreed that if the intercourse was feminine, I might select the title since I already had three names I adored (Ella, Ilana, and Remy). If it was a boy, Max would get to decide on the title. Since I ended up getting title rights with Ella, we made a pact that if we had a second child, Max would get dibs on the primary title. He at all times knew that he wished to call a son Emiliano, a spin-off of his full title — Maximiliano. So, throughout my second being pregnant, Max seemed over at me with the most important grin after we opened our physician’s e mail and skim “presence of a Y chromosome predicts a male fetus.”
This time round, although, we’re attempting to determine on a reputation collectively. For inspiration, I’ve been clocking each lady’s title that I hear on TV, learn in books, and see on Instagram. We additionally seemed on the U.S. Social Safety’s 2023 listing of hottest names. The highest 10 names for ladies have been:
– Olivia
– Emma
– Charlotte
– Amelia
– Sophia
– Mia
– Isabella
– Ava
– Evelyn
– Luna
The highest 10 names for boys have been:
– Liam
– Noah
– Oliver
– James
– Elijah
– Mateo
– Theodore
– Henry
– Lucas
– William
We nonetheless have 5 months to brainstorm, however to this point we love the names Aaliyah (after the singer) and Margot (quick and candy). I’ve additionally favored the title Joaquin for a boy, as a result of it sounds so sturdy.
Now I’d actually like to know: what child names are you into nowadays? Would you title your child after a relative or place? Or what about a fictional character? I need to know!
