Comments for Abbey

I think Abbey is nicer than Abby. Abby just seems so short or something. I can't quite place why it looks worse.

Comments for Aloysius

Maybe hard to pull off in modern days but I'm getting very strong Atticus Finch vibes form this name, an Aloysius could fit in a dusty old town. I'll keep it in mind for future older characters, but that's my only thought of uses for it.

Comments for Ambrose

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1904) was an American writer, journalist, and soldier. He is also the main character of the biographical fiction book "The Old Gringo", by Carlos Fuentes.

Comments for America

I'm not fond of many country names (Chad is alright because it's also a separate name) and while this one is very pretty I wouldn't use it on a real person.

Comments for Amitai

Amitai Marmorstein is an actor best known for his work on Supernatural, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, Sunflower Hour, Wayward Pines, among many others.
I prefer this name to Amittai but both are good names.

Comments for Anara

Pretty name and I love that it means pomegranate, that's so nice.

Comments for Andrew

Andrew John Hozier-Byrne, commonly known as Hozier, is an Irish musician who rose to fame with his 2013 song "Take Me To Church". His music spans alt, blues-gospel, and Irish folk, with pop and rock elements.

Comments for April

April May is the main character in Hank Green's book An Absolutely Remarkable Thing.

Comments for Araceli

I think this is a beautiful name with a great meaning.

Comments for Aragorn

For the male heirs of the Dúnedain the prefix 'ar(a)' is common and tradition.

Comments for Arden

Myself, I've only ever met women with the name. But I can see it for any gender, equally. It's a nice enough name.

Comments for Astra

I think this name is super underrated, absolutely gorgeous. Good if you want something more unique than Astrid (though that's not very common either).

Comments for Astrid

I think this is one of my favourite feminine names ever.

Comments for Ava 1

It's not my favourite but it's sweet and short. It's good enough, if not a bit popular.

Comments for Azhar

Really pretty name, and it has a great meaning too.

Comments for Bazyli

Okay not gonna lie, this is a very nice name, and a great variant of Basil. I really like it!

Comments for Calvin

I mean I'm completely neutral in this name, it's whatever, but the meaning is bad.

Comments for Cassius

I don't like it pronounced cash-us, cass-ee-us is much better. Cas is a good nickname better than cash. But pronounced cass-ee-us is very nice, I quite like it.

Comments for Cathair

It could be because I am studying Irish but I have never read this as cat-hair. If anything I have only read it as cath-air. But it's pronounced ka-hir. If you're worried about people mispronouncing, you could use Cahir, which is the same name. Anyways, I really like this name and I think it's really nice. However Cathair means city in Irish so the fact that this doesn't mean city surprised me.

Comments for Cedar

I love this name, it's gorgeous and so are Cedar trees. I see it as more masculine but it truly works for any gender.

Comments for Celio

This and Caelius are both gorgeous and ethereal. I love it, though I would pronounce it the Latin Spanish way.

Comments for Charlize

I've always pronounced it char-LEEZE but I like it, it's a good name. Though I've only met one Charlize.

Comments for Dale

A friendly reminder that a Dale is not a swamp but rather another word for valley, particularly in northern Europe.

Comments for Dax

It's not a bad name, I personally wouldn't use it, but it does make me think of Star Trek. But I do love Jadzia Dax, and the other Dax hosts, so it's a great namesake, but you'd have to be into that sort of thing.

Comments for Delaiah

I don't think of it as a masculine name because of Dalila (and its variants) but I really like how it's pronounced! It took me a second to get it but I think most people would get used to it.

Comments for Desta

I only have met one Desta, and she was a girl, but I can see this on a man as well. I like this name and the meaning is lovely.

Comments for Domitilla

I like this name, it's super pretty! Though I likely wouldn't use it on a real person.

Comments for Elian

A good name, mo matter how you pronounce it, in my opinion. A nice contrast and a bit different than all the other 'eli' names, though those are also very good.

Comments for Eliseo

I really like this name! It's much better than Elisha in my opinion. It has a nice sound, I always liked -eo endings.

Comments for Elkanah

I really like this name to be honest. It's unusual but easy to pronounce.

Comments for Enikő

I think this is a great name and would fit on anyone.

Comments for Enoch

Enoch apparently walked with god (or perhaps he called god El) through a vineyard, grove, or garden and then was taken by god/El to heaven without dying.

Comments for Eulalia

I really love this name! It's so pretty and has such a nice meaning!

Comments for Farah

Farah Black is a character on the 2016-2017 TV show "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency".

Comments for Fox

I think it's not a bad name, but I'd prefer it on a fictional character or as a nickname. But I definitely wouldn't hate it as a given name, it's got personality and a nice sound too.

Comments for Francisco

I really love this name, and while I've never been to San Francisco, I like the city enough. And Frank is actually a pretty good name, if they choose that instead.

Comments for Gabriel

Gabriel Dumont was a Métis leader and close friend of the famous Louis Riel. He was a very influential figure in war, politics, and hunting at the time, across much of the prairies.

Comments for Galadriel

I think it's a lovely name and I agree with Sam Gamgee that Galadriel is AMAZING but I wouldn't name anyone it. It's very long and fluttery and works best on Galadriel herself. I love Tolkien's names as well, I am named after the Rohan people, but I would use a different name that is still unique but not too wild, like Daeron or, while not a Tolkien name, I am quite fond of Meriadoc.

Comments for Gideon

I know this name from Gideon's Bible. Aside from that, I think it's a good name, strong, works well with any age. Doesn't make me think of 'giddy' at all though.

Comments for Greg

Greg Lestrade is an officer in the Scotland Yard on the BBC show 'Sherlock'.

Comments for Gus 1

Also short for Gustav.

Comments for Helios

And, helium is named after him (well more the sun because that's where it was first found).

Comments for Hestia

Literally the most underrated child of Kronos and Rhea.

Comments for Icarus

I love this name a lot and I think it's beautiful, but it might be hard for a real person's name.

Comments for Ingrid

Ingrid Bergman is also a song by Woody Guthrie, recorded by Billy Bragg and Wilco on their album Mermaid Avenue. It is about the actor.

Comments for Isabel

In my opinion, this is the best form of the Isabel variants. I like it a lot.

Comments for Jamesina

It's a bit forced, but it's very pretty and I don't hate it.

Comments for Janusz

I think this is a beautiful sounding name.

Comments for Jaxon

I don't hate it. It's modern and all that but I can't particularly see it on an adult. It's not childish per se but I only can see it on people under 29. However I do really dislike Jaxson. I guess I'm not fond of Jackson and its variants anyway.

Comments for Jeff

Norman Jeffrey "Jeff" Healey was a Canadian blues-rock guitarist. He was blind since he was three because he had cancer in his eyes. He had a very unique way of playing, with his guitar on his lap, much like a pedal steel guitar.
Jeffrey Scott "Jeff" Tweedy is an American singer-songwriter. He was in the alt-rock band Uncle Tupelo, and is in the band Wilco (too many genres to say). He was also in the rock band Golden Smog.

Comments for Jiahao

I like it a lot, I think it's very pretty.

Comments for Joel

I personally love this name so much. It's very unique and I've only ever met one person with it, and he was very nice.

Comments for Kalin

I like this name, much more than Kalina.

Comments for Khaleel

I think this name is gorgeous! I prefer it over Khalil, but both are great. The sound is so pretty and it seems like a good and strong name.

Comments for Kurtis

Kurtis Conner is a popular Youtuber who makes commentary videos. As of November 2020, he had over two million subscribers.

Comments for Lalo

Honestly this is actually a good name and I really like it! I wouldn't expect it to be a variant of Eduardo, but nonetheless, a very nice, strong name.

Comments for Leocadia

This is a gorgeous name, it's so pretty and flows very well.

Comments for Linus

I really like this name. I don't mind the Peanuts connotations, since Linus is my favourite of the group anyways. It's a cute name, and unique, but not too weird.

Comments for Ljubica

This is a really cute name with a very sweet meaning, I like it.

Comments for Lucky

It's fine as a nickname but I wouldn't use it as a given name.

Comments for Luther

Luther Hargreeves is a character in the Netflix TV show 'The Umbrella Academy'. Luther is Number 1 of the Hargreeves children, and his power is strength.

I really love this name, it's very pretty and works for any age. It's my cousins name.

Comments for Maristela

This is such a pretty name and I love it so much!

Comments for Marvin

Marvin is a main character of the musical Falsettos.

Comments for Mireille

This is such a cool name but I feel like a lot of people would mispronounce it, although the actual pronunciation is lovely.

Comments for Mpho

Mpho Koaho is an actor, best known for being Ken Adams in the show Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.

Comments for Noll

This is pretty cute in my opinion. I like it a lot, but I don't know if it's too usable as a given name. Excellent nickname though.

Comments for Okan

I think this is a beautiful name and I really like it.

Comments for Olaf

I don't like the meaning, it's weird. The name is alright I guess.

Comments for Orville

Personally I quite like the name. It's not bad to name your son this in modern times I think. It has a lot of character and is quite nice to say.
Orville Peck is a country musician, best known for hiding his identity with his signature fringed masks.

Comments for Pavel

Star Trek introduced me to this name and I must say I love it. It is better than Paul, and used much less. It's unique but easy to say. Maybe it's my love of the character, that's affecting my opinions on the name.

Comments for Polly

I actually really like this name, and somewhat better than Molly. It can age well.

Comments for Rameses

I really like the pronunciation! A cool name with a cool meaning.

Comments for Recep

I guess it's an okay name but I could NEVER use it because of the association with the current president.

Comments for Rocco

I like it. Reminds me of a good Italian restaurant in my city, which is a nice association for me.

Comments for Sabella

It's pretty nice, I like it. Very pretty.

Comments for Sahak

This is such a pretty name, and my favourite variant of Isaac.

Comments for Sahar

I think this is a lovely name and while I've only ever met one person with the name, I've never thought about how it could be read as Sarah even if they are anagrams.

Comments for Salathiel

I like it more than Shealtiel but I don't have very strong opinions on it.

Comments for Samuel

Samuel Lount was a blacksmith and farmer who had served on the Legislative Assembly in Toronto before Sir Francis Bond Head's rigged election in 1837. He was a leader in the Rebellions of 1837 in Toronto.

Comments for Santino

This is the best Italian name I've heard, it's really nice.

Comments for Saul

Underrated name, in my opinion. It's very nice and would fit anyone.

Comments for Sedna

I love this name, and the myth of Sedna as well. It sounds beautiful and also has great connotations in my opinion.

Comments for Selma 1

I really like this name but I don't have any reasons why. It's just a good name.

Comments for Sid

I like Syd better, though I'm not a kreatyve person. It just looks better. It's an okay name though. I'm mostly neutral but it's not as bad as people in the comments below me say.

Comments for Sohan

Woah this is a super cool name that I had no idea existed. It's fresh and modern without being trashy and still holding a classic feel. I like it more than Soan.

Comments for Sparrow

My friend's middle name is this, personally maybe not as a stand alone name, but for him I think his name flows really well. It'd be fine on any gender, in my opinion, but you just have to find the right names to go with it.

Comments for Stone

I don't hate it, and I agree with other commenters that this is a masculine name. It's a bit unusual but it's fresh in a way.

Comments for Süleyman

Makes me think of a cross between Sullivan and Solomon. I like it. It is unique (well, maybe not in Turkey. But where I am it is) and sounds classic. Would fit any age.

Comments for Sullivan

I love this name but that's because it's my brother's name. It fits him well and he is small and darker than the rest of us. But I think it'd be nice on many people. It has a lot of good nicknames, Sully, Sul (I call him Sal), Ivan (we never call him this).

Comments for Syd

Syd Barrett comes to mind, that's how I know this name, but it's not the worst association. He was kinda crazy but he was cool. I like this name better than Sid, because it looks better, but it's an okay name either way.

Comments for Teodor

Also German.

Comments for Tommy

I really like this name as a full name. If I were to name someone perhaps I would go with Thomas for a legal name but I prefer Tommy as a name and I think it's cute. It's strong and masculine and very sweet.

Comments for Uzziah

Ozais is much better, I don't really like this form.

Comments for Valentine 1

I really love this name! I know a lovely guy named Valentine, and I think it's a great name with very interesting vibes to it. However, might be a rough name to grow up with, maybe.

Comments for Victor

Not too famous but Victor Krummenacher is a bass player for many bands, most notably Camper Van Beethoven.

Comments for Wesley

I LOVE the name Wesley! It's so cute. And Wes is pretty cool too. Plus, Wesley Crusher is one of my favourite characters and I don't understand the hate for him.

Comments for Woody

Woodrow Wilson "Woody" Guthrie was an American folk guitarist and singer. He is considered to be one of the most important and influential people in music. His music was politically charged, and his guitar famously had the words "This machine kills fascists" painted on it.

Comments for Yamanu

I think it's a very nice sounding name and while unique, it's not hard to pronounce and it's not too out there.

Comments for Yaşar

I actually really like this name, it's one of the best Turkish names.

Comments for Zion

The only time I have ever heard this name was a few years ago when a girl in my class was named this and she pronounced it 'zie-on'.
