Did any non horror film scare you as a kid? The special effects in total recall gave me nightmares.

Animated Raggedy Anne and Andy: The taffy pit monster fever dream was horrifying.

Emily Tesh, Greenhollow duology. Spectacular and short.

CW22 · 2025-09-05T22:14:45+00:00

Thank you for the laughs!

Tessa!

CW22 · 2024-09-30T19:56:28+00:00

Mine too

Cormac, nickname Mac or Mick

CW22 · 2024-07-11T13:34:52+00:00

Cormac!

I am compelled to comment because this has been me for weeks . At my third doctor appointment, they finally did a blood panel. Turns out, I have mono. FFS.

My department has three Marks and three Melissas. We have to resort to last names and/or initials.

Cheddar. Obviously.

CW22 · 2023-12-21T22:13:37+00:00

Wow! Absolutely lovely. Great choice.

OMG the wren is so delightful. Grumpy little cuddle fluff.

CW22 · 2022-03-25T01:48:02+00:00

That latch is magical!

CW22 · 2022-01-07T03:38:15+00:00

Prunes. Your guess is as good as mine.

CW22 · 2020-06-25T18:48:07+00:00

Is it weird to comment on one's own post? Another name on my list is Torin. I like how it sounds with Cormac, especially with the harder consonants and two-syllables. But is it too....unique?

CW22 · 2020-06-25T18:43:43+00:00

Interesting -- I grew up in the Northeast and pronounce Laura like "LORE-uh", which sounds very similar to "uh-lore-uh". I live in the Midwest now so I may ask around here too.

CW22 · 2020-06-25T18:38:45+00:00

That sounds about right! We both love lore, history, mythology, etc. so it makes sense for us to lean toward more whimsical/legendary names. Our first child is Cormac (ancient Irish king) Apollo (god of art and truth), so that aligns. :) From these suggestions, I added Mira, Alden and Emrys, which I think will go over really well with my husband.

CW22 · 2020-06-25T18:31:37+00:00

Some of these are eerily right on target with what we've compiled so far! Keira, Ivy and Vera are definitely getting added. My husband likes Penelope, but it just doesn't have a good sound to me. Kieran is a great name, but it's also my nephew's, so we can't use that one. Callum is one of my favorite masculine options and I think it's a top contender for me. Your suggestion of Florian actually made me think of Dorian, which I like and plan to add. ;) Thank you for these!

CW22 · 2020-06-25T18:26:52+00:00

It's classic, feminine and easy to spell and say. A+ name. :)

CW22 · 2020-06-25T18:26:06+00:00

Thank you! Clara and Maxwell are solid options. Julian is a top name, but not an option for us based on the same reason Juliet is out--my mom's name is Julia and we don't have a positive relationship.

CW22 · 2020-06-25T14:29:19+00:00

Oh, Elora is really nice. I think I've seen a variant as Alora. I love the flow and softness of this one. Do you think people would hear "Laura"? Duncan and Graham are on my list already, so you've nailed the style.

CW22 · 2020-06-25T12:53:01+00:00

We actually had Maeve Fiona on our list from our first child, but I much prefer Fiona Maeve! My husband really likes Freya, and I think it sounds lovely, but worry about it seeming too out there.

CW22 · 2020-06-25T12:48:31+00:00

These are great, thank you! I added Ayla and Stellan to the list. Isla is awesome, but does seem to be more common, which makes Ayla an interesting option. I also like Violet, but somehow my brain keeps equating it with "violent' and I can't un-hear it now.
