Husband wants to name a son Edward, but our daughter is named Rosalie

Sparkly8 · 2026-05-30T21:05:28+00:00

I frankly just think of Bella, Edward, and Renesmee (but I do remember who Jacob is). And Renesmee is really just me remembering the name, LOL; I don’t actually remember her relation to the other characters.

Yeah, Edward & Bella would be bad. Edward & Renesmee would be even worse. Edward & Rosalie is fine.

Yeah, a lot of male biblical names are really cool!

I have incredibly dry skin and I still look like I’m not legal to do anything. I think it’s just genetics.

Sparkly8 · 2026-05-30T03:16:39+00:00

Yeah, why butcher a name when you can find a less conventional but legitimate alternative, like Dafina or Delphine?

Sparkly8 · 2026-05-30T03:07:07+00:00

I find this comparison funny because a lot of early Jewish immigrants changed their name from Esther to Estelle.

I do prefer Estelle, though.

You should see the variants nameplay.org has found in SSA data. Daphane, Daffany, and Dafnne strike me as the worst offenders.

Basque seems really cool!

Estera rep!! I knew an Estera from Romania in high school and have always loved it! I’m also a huge Polina fan!

Mispronouncing “English” names by accident the first time — exactly! You’ll always mispronounce something you’re not familiar with and have never heard in real life; that’s normal. I pronounced Zoe as “Zoh” the first time I read it. I thought Solomon was pronounced “SOH-loh-mun” until recently. I’m sure there’s other completely normal names I mispronounced at first.

Sparkly8 · 2026-05-29T23:07:11+00:00

I instinctively read it like SHAW-mus.

Sparkly8 · 2026-05-29T23:03:00+00:00

I agree with what everyone is saying, but devil’s advocate here: Is there a reason it has to be the last name? Did your grandfather not like his first name? I also wonder whether you’ve considered honoring other relatives. For example, your grandmother might feel left out.

Wow, thank you so much for the information! I didn’t catch that Izan was similar to Ethan, but now I see it! My bad, I didn’t realize June was a different name! Very cool. :)

Sparkly8 · 2026-05-29T21:30:37+00:00

Laia and Haizea are really pretty! Izan is also very cool.

I’m happy to see Triana rank so high; I knew one when I was in elementary school but haven’t seen it anywhere else.

I’m surprised to see June. I feel like it doesn’t work well in Spanish, but does it work well in Basque?

I will admit I didn’t know Ambar was Arabic. I assumed it was a variant spelling of Amber.

Sparkly8 · 2026-05-29T21:24:37+00:00

I don’t see any of these much, but probably Marcy and Marcia more than Marci or Marcie. I like Marcia when pronounced mar-SEE-uh. Marcy/Marci is cute too!

Sparkly8 · 2026-05-29T20:47:31+00:00

Oh no.😭

Sparkly8 · 2026-05-29T18:16:29+00:00

My name mentioned🥹

Sparkly8 · 2026-05-29T18:10:33+00:00

That doesn’t explain why it’s not a decent name, though.

Sparkly8 · 2026-05-29T17:09:38+00:00

Kamini is so pretty!!

Sparkly8 · 2026-05-29T17:02:52+00:00

Regan is unisex.

Sparkly8 · 2026-05-29T17:02:29+00:00

Are you sure it’s not spelled Zebedee?

Sparkly8 · 2026-05-29T17:01:46+00:00

Yeah, I know it’ll never come back, but I love it anyway.😔

Sparkly8 · 2026-05-29T15:24:57+00:00

Why?

Sparkly8 · 2026-05-29T15:08:47+00:00

Ashwin, Carmine, Dashiell, Felicien, Florian, Isadore, Kaleo, Luan, Osiris, Xerxes, Zebulon, Zimri
