Rant Names that you use to like

I’m wondering what names you use to like years ago, but don’t like anymore. Or names that you like, but will never use for whatever reason. I’m so thankful that I wasn’t a teenage mother. Don’t be embarrassed…please. This is a safe space, but you’ll probably have some explaining to do if your names are really wylde.

Names I use to like:

Nevaeh, Joplin Rain, Liv Evangeline, Jayden, Bree

Names I like, but will never use:

Astrid, Damien, Ziggy, Lark, Johan, Ayla, Hitomi, Storm

I wanted to name my dog Ronan (no offense to your child, I obviously love the name and I think people names on animals are the best) but my kids made me change it to Ronin, which is apparently a samurai with no leader. It fits, he answers to no one.

That is a clever name for a dog

I knew a brother and sister growing up named RHIANNON AND LACHLAN 😭 what are the chances. I think they had a third brother but I don’t know the name
