Hey guys! So for today’s post I am going to talk about my
name rules and pet peeves. I am even going to tell you the guide lines I have
for naming my own future children! So let’s get started
My Naming Guide Lines
- The name must not be in the top 200.
- The name must have a nickname.
- One of the names (first or middle) must have meaning behind it.
- The name has to be easily spelt/have only one spelling. Example: no Katelynn/Catilin or Hayley/Haille
- I will only honor someone if they have already passed away.
- The middle names won’t be fillers. Example: Ann, May, Lynn, Grace, etc.
Naming Rules
If you use a unisex name, the middle name must be easily identified
to a gender
Example: Riley Elizabeth or Jordan Michael
Don’t use similar sounding names for siblings
Example: Jada and Jayden, Brady and Grady, Mia and Leah,
etc.
Don’t spell a name differently if it has a traditional
spelling
Example: Madyson instead of Madison, or Miah for Mia
Don’t reuse a name for another sibling
Example: Elijah Makai and his brother Makai Angel
Pay attention to initials!
Example: Sadie Alyssa Davidson, SAD
Don’t let someone change your mind about a name! If you like
a name, use it!
Pet Peeves
- Parents who reuse names!
- Siblings that have the same middle name!
- Parents who spell names uniquely!
- Parents who pick names for siblings that are completely different! Example: Sarah and Jayden
- Parents who don’t give their babies middle names!
- Parents who pick a name theme that is very noticeable! Example: Rose, Lily, and Violet
I tried to remember all of my
naming guide lines, rules and pet peeves but you know how it is when you have
to think of something on the spot and you can never think of it. What are your
naming guide lines, rules and pet peeves? Tell me below. I hope you liked this
and don’t forget to comment. Bye for now :).
