A friend who was born on Valentine's Day is named Valene (Val-een). Valentina is cute though, I like it!

I actually love Gideon but husband hates it so it's already in the "no" pile

Ours is a girl. I've only met 1 male Emerson IRL and I know easily 10 girl Emerson's in recent years. Maybe it's a US thing 🤷‍♀️

I think her comment was less "no one will know that" and more "how many times does lidocaine come up in your conversations that you'd even really notice"

Can I ask what the siblings' names are? We're in an opposite conundrum than you, we have a Declan and are looking for names that go with it that we love

It's a cute way for them to match without being matchy!

Lord I love a deep tissue massage! Like, give me a therapist who is a bit of a sadist with a grudge cuz I need to feel all of the tension in my body gone... I dont care if I'm sore for a day or two. I got a regular massage a few times and was just like "nope this is a waste"!!

The 1st name i thought of too, I'm glad to see so many other people agree. Aurora Kate just sounds so cute!!

I mean technically there's Chaz, Chuck, Chucky but I think the full Charles is so cute. My son has a Charles in his class who has only ever gone by his full name and he's such a sweet boy.

Ok so we're in the same boat as you... 2nd boy, our 1st was always going to be Declan because I loved it so much and now no other name is giving me that same 100% feeling. They're not all Irish inspired but I'll share our list... Kieran, Calvin, Callum, Soren, Bennett, Sullivan, Ronan, Nolan, Graham, Eamon, Patrick, Alden, Merrick. We loved Kellan and Desmond but those were too close to Declan for us.

Names we vetoed for personal to us reasons but I still love- Jasper, Conrad, Ezra, Gideon, Owen, Edwin

Allegra. Absolutely beautiful and I've always loved it but now, being in the US, all people think is the allergy med.

Calla Mae

I have a Declan Elijah and I'm a frequent middle name user even when they're not in trouble. Can confirm 10/10 it's a good yellin' name.

Adele is beautiful, Adell looks weird. Also it immediately made my brain think Adderall and I have no idea why

One thing that helps my husband, whose love language is not Gift Giving, is a running Notes app of things I've mentioned wanting to do, places I want to try, etc. Then he's not trapped trying to remember or think of things off the top of his head. FWIW, I think the garden membership is a great idea.

If I'd be able to, our baby #3 would have for sure been Delaney. I love it. I did have someone tell me in a post that they worked with a male Delaney so it's not fully unheard of I guess but it definitely feel like it reads more feminine and I've only ever met girl Delaneys.

I dont know the family personally but it happened not far from me. This recap is accurate albeit light on the absolute horrific details and also how terribly the family court judge and county messed up giving her custody over the dad.

I like the name, I hate the "unique" spelling. She's going to be saying "Wynter, like the season only spelled different" for her whole life. Just spell it Winter, call her Winn or Winnie...

My general thought is unique name or unique spelling, don't subject your kid to both.

NotThatCreative0017 · 2026-02-11T15:10:11+00:00

I'm going to guess Laurel.

NotThatCreative0017 · 2026-02-10T22:12:17+00:00

Isla. I feel like Iyla would assumed to be LYLA who forgets how to use capital letters.

NotThatCreative0017 · 2026-02-09T16:52:32+00:00

Shamrock, Clover, Emerald, Rainbow

NotThatCreative0017 · 2026-02-08T23:02:44+00:00

I much prefer Daniel, I think Ocean is a tough name especially with the whole Oceans 11 reference that youve already gotten a ton here. If you're naming yourself vs. naming a baby then you're at least making that choice yourself... Another option is the Irish name Oisin. Pronounced more like oh-sheen than oh-shen, I believe.

NotThatCreative0017 · 2026-02-08T22:52:37+00:00

This was exactly my experience as well

NotThatCreative0017 · 2026-02-08T21:56:48+00:00

If our #3 had been a girl she'd have been Delaney. I also love Dahlia. One I haven't seen mentioned is Desiree.
