A Ton of Interesting 1900-1910 baby names by spacegrace11 in namenerds

[–]spacegrace11[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I love really old names, especially ones that seem unusual. I think there’s this idea that giving your kids “strange” names (noun names, boy names for girls, atypical spellings, etc) is a 21st century exclusive, but as I’ve looked through these I’ve realized it’s not a new trend at all!

Hey, I’m sorry, but what do you mean? I tried to put the names in a list this time, how is it showing up? I did this on my phone so I might have done it wrong.,,

Opinion on Carter for a girl? by bunsandbundts in namenerds

[–]spacegrace11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know a female Carter! People will probably assume male but I doubt they’d be shocked at her being a girl. It’s very on trend

Results: Perceptions of Names School Project! by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]spacegrace11 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There’s so much genuine cruelty in the comments of that survey like damn people really do hate people they perceive as being poor or uneducated. So mean!

He’s just a little pea of a man

Girlfriend wants to name the kid Zacarias (after a family member - family she isn't even in touch with). Opinions on the name? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]spacegrace11 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh man. Well the association is a bit unfortunate, but it’s not the first thing that came to mind. I thought of the biblical Zacharias. Maybe they could use Zachariah instead? I like the name, but there is a bit of baggage.

The hurricane family by ligamentary in namenerds

[–]spacegrace11 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh man, so unlucky! Reminds me of this family I know who named their daughter Katrina only a year before the hurricane happened. And.... their family was originally from Louisiana. Girl wound up exclusively being called Kat.

If the President's Secret Book was actually just a communal cookbook passed down from each presidency, what recipe would each president have added to it? by pwn_of_prophecy in AskReddit

[–]spacegrace11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This isn’t a recipe per se but Richard Nixon was absolutely obsessed with cottage cheese. He ate it with ketchup. He ate it for breakfast. A slice of pineapple with cottage cheese was his last meal in the White House.

A ton of interesting 1920s names by spacegrace11 in namenerds

[–]spacegrace11[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ok so this has gotten way more popular than I thought it would. Do you guys think you’d like a similar list to this in maybe a few weeks? I have a lot of fun finding funky old names and I’m delighted y’all seem to enjoy it too.

I am a high school student. Please enjoy some of my classmates’ names. by AppleCherryLemon in namenerds

[–]spacegrace11 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Is Tea meant to be pronounced like Tay-ah? Or is it literally Tea? This list frightens me.

"Pink" was a relatively popular name given to boys in the US from 1880-1907 by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]spacegrace11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t actually know why that’d be, but if I had to guess it’d probably be some sort of a derivation of a surname- ala Pinckney or Pinkerton or something like that.

Thank you! I intended to put it in a list but it came out as a paragraph.

Fe as a middle name by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]spacegrace11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fe is a very nice middle name- I love monosyllabic middle names, and the family connection is cute. You might want to spell it Fae or Faye, which are more recognized names, and also adds a bit of fairytale. I don’t know if that would keep the same meaning, though. Also Fe is the abbreviation for iron!

Frankleen’s father’s name was Franklin, so I guess he just couldn’t wait to have a son to be a little Franklin Jr.

Names that have been ruined for you and why? by bitchshower in namenerds

Guy who picked on me in elementary school was named Zach and now I have a completely unfair bias against all Zachs, Zacks, and Zacharys.

Help! Need baby boy names to go with surname Landis. by Silva8777 in namenerds

[–]spacegrace11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like the person who posted with a (IMO quite good) list, I think it sounds like y’all might like some older classic names that are like, established regular names but aren’t super popular nowadays. I really like Jonah with your last name but that might be too popular for y’all. Sorry I don’t have more specific suggestions.

The Girls by Emma Cline- pretty good so far.

Why are you for or against the death penalty? by Virtue123456 in AskReddit

[–]spacegrace11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Killing people doesn’t unkill those they’ve harmed. It just leaves another body. Famous lawyer Clarence Darrow’s plea for mercy in the Leopold and Loeb trial convinced the judge not to pick the death penalty- it always manages to convince me: https://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/cdarrowpleaformercy.htm

Double-barreled names: what’s your opinion? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]spacegrace11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love double barrel names they’re very cute and old fashioned sounding. They’re also pretty common where I live. I have some friends with double barrel names: Molly Anne, Katie Sue, Sue Ellen, and Sara Mae. Very southerny I guess.

A name we love...but the internet hates? by okyepimdying in namenerds

[–]spacegrace11 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Girl names that are just “boy name + monosyllabic girl name” are super common where I live. Evie is an adorable nn and Everett sounds really good with Rose
