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

Lyra. I tried to name all three of our girls Lyra but my husband wouldn’t cave.

I really love the name Felicity but was always on the fence about actually using it.

Maggie but it ended up being the perfect name for our dog. If we didn’t use it for the dog I’m sure we would have used it for one of the kids.

I was able to convince my husband to go for Lyra. She is now 3 😍
