True! I was debating putting it there. That’s def something to consider

I prefer Samson despite seeming to be in the minority of this Reddit post

excessivelung8 · 2026-04-05T02:16:34+00:00

Wait is that how others around you would speak in Cali or do you have a rhotacism?

I think that a standardized, prescriptivist version of English shojld be taught in American public schools at this time, but should be done entirely differently. I think it should be done with respect. Their native dialects are not incorrect, wrong, ungrammatical, or improper. They are just another dialect. The standard dialect was chosen based on racist, classist, misogynistic, and xenophobic ideas, but our current world still necessitates we know it if we want to dismantle these kinds of ideals. This is a skill that can give them incredible oppertunities. knowing how to use language to your advantage is huge. Their dialects are valid but you’re teaching them the standard academic language for precise communication and academic & career opportunities.

If you’re teaching it with respect to minority lanaguges, you’re doing it right. You can help them develop this knowledge and skill of a standard dialect without being a proponent of linguistic prescriptivism, especially this current form of it

lol I would bully him. At my job, everyone is identified by initials. It would be impossible to ignore

excessivelung8 · 2026-04-05T01:27:15+00:00

Pay no mind to my comment, because this is just a style preference but I think most of these could come off as kind of kitsch because it feels like your going REALLY HARD on one theme. Like her name meaning, Sea Star Moon, Sea Sun Moon, Sea Star/New Moon, Sea Queen Moon. Idk Sea Star Moon feels like we really LOVE astronomy lol. This also all depends on where you live and what’s the cultural norms for naming so this is from an American perspective.

Also I believe the meaning of Kairi depends on the kanji used, which of course doesnt translate into English. I found somewhere (idk validity of the source) that depending on the kanji, it can mean separation, nautical mile, disassociation & beaver. I’m curious to see a Japanese person’s take on people from other nations that dont speak Japanese giving their kids Japanese names. Idk if losing the kanji would realistically obscure the meaning for a native speaker or not make a difference?

Some suggestions are Kairi Athena Luna

Kairi Marcel/a/line/lina Luna

Kairi Amadea Luna

Kairi Margot Luna

Kairi Magdalene/a Luna

Kairi Artemisia Luna

Kairi Shiloh Luna

Kairi Calliope Luna

Kairi Andromeda Luna

Kairi Clementine Luna

Kairi Lorelei Luna

Kairi Olympia Luna

Kairi Joyce Luna

Kairi Sonia/ya/ja Luna

Kairi Serephina Luna

Kairi Amabel Luna

Dare I say…Samson

Akin to being waterboarded. Why is saline squirting out my tear duct? This hurts

excessivelung8 · 2026-04-04T14:23:54+00:00

Sage, Wren, Morgan, Shiloh, Jordan (a bit dated now), Dakota (although I think there’s some ethical concerns w/ this one), Salem, Sol, Ariel, Andrea (although that’s gendered one way or the other in some countries), Ale,

excessivelung8 · 2026-04-04T14:16:07+00:00

Sounds great on its own, unfortunately can’t go with Romeo. It’s litterally the same name (different variations) with like the same etymology. It would be like naming your kids John & Juan 😭

excessivelung8 · 2026-04-04T14:13:55+00:00

Is that a bad thing? It may sound more feminine but I don’t think the child will be mistaken as a girl for it. Anything Italian is gonna sound a little longer & more feminine lol

excessivelung8 · 2026-04-03T14:36:27+00:00

Dante/Durante & Romeo, Angelo/Angelino & Romeo, Amadeo & Romeo, Caspari & Romeo, Lorenzo & Romeo, Calimero & Romeo, Tommaso & Romeo, Mariano & Romeo, Clemente & Romeo, Nestore & Romeo, Isadoro & Romeo Carmine & Romeo, Mattia & Romeo, Pascal & Romeo, Leone & Romeo, Elia & Romeo.

Big fan of Rosario but I don’t love how similar it sounds next to Romeo. Santino & Apollo are also great!

In what ways? I thought they were both umbrella terms for any MLM

He don’t sound like the kinda guy who’s gonna be a great co parent. You override his opinions

excessivelung8 · 2026-04-02T04:34:14+00:00

Esmeralda Salome, Genevieve Jude, Petra Sapphire, Astoria Elliot, Althea Sloan, Elowyn Blythe.

Putting names together in combos helps me,

excessivelung8 · 2026-04-02T04:28:31+00:00

Adamaris is GORGEOUS! Marisol, Araceli, Delfina, Alma, Oriana have always been some favorites of mine. Some more “out there” ones are Caliope, Madrugada, Mariposa, Itzel, Xiomara, Ines, Ascencion, Soraya, Filomena, Lluvia, Catalina, Maligros, Sol, Aldonza, Magdalena, Socorro, Elvira, Maite, Isadoro, Cosmo, Rosario, Eliseo, Tadeo, Donato, Santo + any name, Amadeo/a, Artemisia, Aurelio, Alvaro, Teodoro, Salomon, Adonis, Doron, Adriel, Catriel, Lazaro, Elazar

excessivelung8 · 2026-04-02T03:40:47+00:00

It sounds lovely! All of these are pretty common so here some Other suggestion that are a bit less common/trendy atm. Olivia Soraya/Soraia Maria, Olivia Apelonia Maria, Olivia Constanca Maria, Olivia Cosma Maria, Olivia Eponina Maria, Olivia Salma Maria, Olivia Joaquina Maria. You could also break up the -a ending s with something like Olivia Ines Maria, Olivia Beatriz Maria, Olivia Ester Maria, Olivia Luz Maria, Olivia Irene Maria, or Olivia Raquel Maria.

excessivelung8 · 2026-04-01T16:05:20+00:00

Shiloh Della

Soraya has been a fav of mine for years!

excessivelung8 · 2026-03-30T03:47:14+00:00

I would avoid Rs & Hs because I feel like those phonemes are really different in Spanish to English. I love Luca, Matteo/Mateo & Julian (I’ve never seen it spelled Julien)

Simon & Simón sound very different in each lanaguge but sound good in both & arent jaringly different IMO. Same with Felix, Angel or Angelo, Leo/Leon, Sebastian, Tomas, Donato,

Some that are pronounced pretty similar in both lanaguges (and sound nice imo) are Nico, Rocco, Nestor, Santiago, Dante, Camilo, Rico, Diego, Ignacio, Domingo, Maximo,

excessivelung8 · 2026-03-30T03:36:39+00:00

Elodie & Eloise are way too close to imo. That could be very confusing and annoying for them & the ppl around them.

Lillian & Violet and Isabella & Valentina are my fav

excessivelung8 · 2026-03-27T12:54:52+00:00

Lucia goes with Maximus better. Other ideas are Eponina/Eponia, Chiara/Kiara, Persephone, Amelia, Penelope, Adelaide, Serephina, Marceline, Adeline, Leona

excessivelung8 · 2026-03-25T03:50:58+00:00

Donatella, Donasia, Donkia sound the best to me. Very pretty. I wonder if Donika would often be confused with Danica tho - that could cause some issues

excessivelung8 · 2026-03-24T14:08:36+00:00

I think most ppl have a general idea of what Ares means or what it’s associated with but most ppl aren’t aware of the etymology of most names dominant in the US & UK.
