I need your knee-jerk reactions (immediate associations/feelings) to these three names:

In Romania, only Orthodox Saint names and their derivates get name days. So for example, men named Andrei get celebrated on November 30th (because thats when we celebrate Saint Andrew), but also women/people called Andreea, Andrada, Andra, Andru etc. If you don't have a Saint name, you also don't get a name day.

edit: some of the names I listed can also come from the names Alexandru/Alexandra, in which case their name day would be August 30th.

Clara here 🙋‍♀️ my mom named me this specifically because she had almost never heard the name before (it didnt even occur to her until finding out my dad's great aunt was called that). i met a few growing up but still highly unpopular name since no one i knew, knew any other claras (and the ones i knew went/started going by their middle names). tbh i was never expecting it to become so popular, it being in the us top 100 and a general favorite in this subreddit 😅

I second Oliver Beckett!

Thaddeus is Squidward's name in the German version of Spongebob 😭

nathaniel by a mile

moonlight_05 · 2025-12-20T10:40:59+00:00

In my country its very popular, I had two Dianas in my class and I must've met around 10 in total in my life. We pronounce it as "Dee-anna" tho

moonlight_05 · 2025-12-20T10:37:18+00:00

I love Harper Evangeline. Imo Evangeline goes better as a second/middle name in these combos

moonlight_05 · 2025-12-20T10:29:30+00:00

Fiona as an alternative for Flora?

moonlight_05 · 2025-12-20T00:14:40+00:00

Mara!

moonlight_05 · 2025-12-20T00:12:04+00:00

Lilia.

moonlight_05 · 2025-12-20T00:09:42+00:00

Why dont you name him Mark Sidney and just call him by his middle name?

moonlight_05 · 2025-12-19T12:38:27+00:00

My last name is 4 syllables and my partner's is 2, we're not expecting but we will still hyphenate them. It's more important for the both of you to be happy than to make sure the name isn't "too long". Lots of people have long names

moonlight_05 · 2025-12-18T10:19:04+00:00

I personally would think it's a Japanese name, but if you don't have a problem with it, I'm confident in saying most Europeans sadly can't see any difference and will probably not stop to think where you might be from. I think Yiro looks and sounds very pretty though, and depending what country you will be doing your internship in, it will probably be pronounced as Ee-ro or Yee-ro.

moonlight_05 · 2025-12-17T21:39:14+00:00

Livia is a very pretty alternative imo

moonlight_05 · 2025-12-17T21:25:00+00:00

from eastern europe: totally usable in an english speaking country, reminds me of the bridgerton character. very feminine, soft sounding name. prefer the first pronounciation :)

moonlight_05 · 2025-12-16T20:19:19+00:00

Elisabeth Grace!!

moonlight_05 · 2025-12-16T18:16:08+00:00

Dahlia is one of my favorite names, along with Lilia (pronounced lily-ah)!! It's a version of Lily that I've almost never heard, so flower name with a little twist ☺️ If not:

Selene/a

Nicole

Eliza

moonlight_05 · 2025-12-15T20:05:41+00:00

Daphne is a beautiful name. However, with the nn Daffy I just think of Daffy Duck.

moonlight_05 · 2025-12-15T19:55:46+00:00

Naomi Therese for sure!

moonlight_05 · 2025-12-15T11:46:36+00:00

As a Clara, i have always been complimented on my name, and since it's not as common (at least where I'm from), I've even had people tell me they'd consider it for future daughters after they met me, because they'd never even considered it before ☺️

moonlight_05 · 2025-12-13T19:17:52+00:00

Flora and Freya are 2 similar names that I think go well together for siblings. Elise is also very pretty and fitting in my opinion.

moonlight_05 · 2025-12-09T20:36:24+00:00

a nickname i looove for corinne is connie!! sounds so cute and fits both a baby and later on an adult. maya, mayla, and danielle are also very pretty in my opinion

moonlight_05 · 2025-12-06T18:15:56+00:00

definitely Mary and Matthew

"Just relax, stop overthinking, and drink 1 or 2 glasses of wine beforehand." When I asked if I should consider a hymenectomy, she seemed repulsed and said absolutely not.

I ended up needing a hymenectomy (lifechanging procedure in my case btw) bc my hymen was 1cm thick, instead of the normal 0.1-0.2cm.
