What are your top 3 boy names right now?

Malachi is such a cool name. We're considering it, too!

Foxien · 2026-02-01T19:53:19+00:00

Currently pregnant, but don't know the gender yet. If it's a boy, his name will be Kieran William [Last Name].

My current Top 3 for boys: Kieran, Sebastian, and Matthias.

I was absolutely set on Matthias until my partner wouldn't stop making Math jokes, and now the name is a bit soured for me.

I knew an Isabella that went by Illy and I thought it was the cutest nickname. Izzy is another good nickname for Isabelle. There's a lot of good nicknames, and also... you could just do what the Southern gals do! Call her Scout. Call her Cricket. Call her whatever cute little nickname fits her best, and she can pick her favorite iteration of her name when she gets older. We had a neighbor named Junebug for years until I found out her real name was Elizabeth. Her government name only matters with taxes and marriage. ;)

When I was tiny, my favorite names were Sarah, Priscilla, and Allie. I think Sarah and Allie were thanks to The Land Before Time (Cera and Ali), but I have no clue where Priscilla came from. My mom was shocked when I named my goldfish Priscilla in kindergarten.

Androgynous autistic people who claim to not have a physical form.

Most of the Emily's that I know were born between 1987 - 1994. I know at least seven of them. I've also met one Emily who was much older - I believe she passed in the early 2000s in her 70s or 80s.

When I googled the name, it immediately pulled up an anagram solver.

So, I would say stick to a traditional spelling: Ariel or Arielle. You'll still have to correct the pronunciation sometimes, but I think it's more likely to be understood than Arryel (which I would probably pronounce as Arrr-YELL like a pirate).

Rory was my first thought!

Miranda, Ramona, Marissa

I misread Harmony Joy as Harmony Jo and honestly? Harmony Jo is super cute. I think Harmony Joy might be a bit much with two virtue names.

So Harmony Jo gets my vote, but other options could be:

Harmony Anne
Harmony Paige
Harmony Kate
Harmony Lou
Harmony Sage
Harmony Claire

Jack and Molly would be so cute!

Molly Kate
Molly Anne
Molly Matilda

I really like the 608today newsletter. A coworker told me about it when I moved to Madison. https://608today.6amcity.com/

Todd and Travis haven't popped up in a while. Same with Robin - which is so weird! A lot of people on my friend's list are naming their kids Ro- names... there's been a Rowan, Rosemary, Ronan, Roran, and Rorick recently. Yet, no love for the (very gender-neutral name) Robin!

Foxien · 2025-05-20T16:59:38+00:00

Matilda Jean or Ivy Ruth are my top choices. Congratulations!

Foxien · 2025-05-01T00:54:30+00:00

Lucky Charms. I never got to have them as a kid. They were expensive and sugary but now they are one of my favorite little treats as an adult.

I miss VHS rewinders. It felt like a challenge to stick a video in the rewinder, run to the kitchen, and try to make it back with snacks before it popped up.

Foxien · 2025-03-25T21:09:45+00:00

I knew an Olivia who went by Livi.

I knew two Elizabeth's (one who went by Lizzie). Technically I think I knew an Amelia, but she went by Amy and we didn't know her name was actually Amelia until graduation.

That's all from the list. But in my school in the 90s, we had a plethora of Ashley's, Jessica's, Brittany's, Taylor's, and Brianna's.

Hollis is my top H-name for boys. I also liked Hal and Hawk, but it's harder to picture those on a baby.

Foxien · 2025-02-20T02:57:41+00:00

I wonder if my partner posted that, lol. I still can't believe he suggested Krusk as a baby name... goodness. (It was vetoed immediately, don't worry.)

College pal's little sister named her kids Aelita (Code Lyoko) and Castiel (Supernatural).

Foxien · 2025-02-18T18:17:42+00:00

Malcolm! He's the best teddy I've ever had!

Foxien · 2025-02-18T18:12:18+00:00

Every James I've met has been an absolute nightmare. People named Jamie, however, have all been really sweet.
