Names that begin with the letter E?

7 Upvotes

My husbands name starts with an I and I start with an E. We have 2 kids with names that start with the letter I and I would love to have names with the letter E. I love the name Eliana but I had a miscarriage and I decided to give that name to her.. I have found it difficult to find boy names with the letter E. I’m looking for Hispanic inspired names but I’m also open to any name.

Cecelia: Middle name suggestions?

6 Upvotes

This is the name we’ve chosen for my baby girl due in November. I love Cece for short which is why I prefer the spelling Cecelia over Cecilia. Middle name suggestions?

We are thinking Lynn as it’s my middle name and our son has my husbands middle name. What do yall think?

Anyone here have a baby girl with this name? I’ve also been trying to gather how popular it is right now.

Opinion on Joan

21 Upvotes

It's at the top of my list currently, just yesterday my top pick was Helena or Evelyn, but I've realised that as much as I love these names they don't necessarily fit with my families names, however Joan (jone not Jo-anne) really seems to fit, all the woman in my family tree have short names that don't really jump out at you, like there all like lily, Ethel, Ellen, Clara, Mable, Anne, Jane ect... And my own name is the same in length and vibe.

Would love to know what everyone's impression's are of this name regardless of my own feelings, is it not for you, do you like but not live it and why

Thank

Can anyone who has legally changed their name tell me how much of a hassle it is?

5 Upvotes

I have a legal first name in English that my mom chose for school purposes, so people wouldn’t botch the pronunciation of my Greek name. When going to school I’d use my legal name, and at home I was always called by my Greek name. I had a very hard time in school and was bullied a lot, so after graduation I decided to stop using my legal name and go by my Greek one instead, as I felt more connected to the name my family used for me.

I should’ve legally changed it back then, but I said I’d do it when I get married so I don’t have to do it twice. As time has gone on I don’t even think I’m interested in legal marriage anyway, so it’s not relevant anymore, and now my name is on a LOT more stuff at 28 than it was fresh out of high school lol.

The stuff I’d have to change now:
- License/registration/insurance
- Health insurance/doctors offices
- SS/birth certificate
- Bank/credit cards
- Phone plan
- Job
- Electric company
- Apartment lease
- Probably a bunch of other stuff I’m not even thinking of

If anyone could share how long it took to get all of that stuff done and how much of a hassle it was, or if you have any advice on what to prioritize first after my SS card, I’d greatly appreciate it. I’ve been wanting to do this for years but it feels like such a daunting task that I just haven’t. It’s annoying to have to constantly explain my preferred name with doctors and new jobs and whatever else.

Ty!

Hi, looking for opinions on which of these two names sounds better. Her family is Spanish so it needs to be easy for them & her surname is Esteves. Her second name is Liyoni.

In need of a new LAST NAME, how is Lazarus? I like the meaning of the name. Another option was Levi but I feel as if it's too first name coded.

Gothic sounding A names?

I’m changing my name. I was going to pick Adeline but now that the movie is coming out, I’m having doubts.

I like Adalyn but it doesn’t feel gothy enough

Just throw some suggestions my way!!
And also maybe some middle/last names to combine it with, or some nicknames.

I want a more unique name!
I also like adelaide, that’s beautiful

Neighbour’s name same as my baby: okay or a big no

Would you consider naming your child the same name as a neighbour’s child who you frequently speak and do things with?

Would you feel uncomfortable or awkward if your own neighbour were to do this?

How would you pronounce Adelaine?

0 Upvotes

I always thought it was pronounced like Add-eh-lyn solely because of the youtuber Adelaine Morin, but as I am trying to figure out a name for my baby, I am realizing that may not be the correct pronunciation. I LOVE the Add-eh-lyn pronunciation but hate Adelyn… it reminds me of a Kinslynleigh name lol…

ok, soo, baby girl will be here soon and I am still undecided about her name. I found the name Rosalia early in my pregnancy and somehow I can’t stop thinking about it. My husband says he likes the name but thinks it’s not a familiar name here in Canada and people might misspell or mispronounce it. Please share your thoughts

Parents Who Chose a Top 5 Baby Name, Do You Regret It?

69 Upvotes

Parents who chose a baby name in the Top 5, did you ever regret it?
I’m having a bit of name regret and I’m wondering if I’m overthinking it.
I chose a boy name that is currently in the Top 5 most popular baby names in my country. When I chose it, I genuinely loved the name and didn’t realize how popular it was. Now that I see it everywhere on social media, I keep thinking, “What if I had chosen a different name?”
I don’t actually dislike the name. I still love how it sounds, and I’m attached to it because it’s my son’s name. I just feel sad knowing that it isn’t as uncommon as I originally thought.
For those of you who chose a Top 5 / very popular name for your child, how do you feel about it now?
Did you ever experience name regret? Did the popularity actually become a problem for your child, or did you eventually stop caring about it?
I’d especially love to hear from parents whose children are still young. ❤️

What do you think of the name Evangelos / Vangelis for a boy?

7 Upvotes

We’re Greek, and we’ve decided to name our baby Evangelos, it’s my dad’s name, and honestly, I absolutely love it. We’re not changing our minds, so this is purely out of curiosity 😅

Evangelos (Ευάγγελος) is a traditional Greek name meaning “bearer of good news” and is also connected to the Greek word evangelion (“good news” / “gospel”). Vangelis (Βαγγέλης) is the common, more casual Greek form of Evangelos.

In Greece, some people consider Evangelos/Vangelis a bit “old-fashioned” and say it sounds more like the name of a middle-aged or older man rather than a little boy. Some also find it not particularly “aesthetic” or modern.

Personally, I LOVE Evangelos. I agree that it doesn’t immediately sound like a tiny baby name to me 😂, but I think it’s a beautiful, strong name, and I love the full version especially.

So I’m curious: how do Evangelos and Vangelis sound to non-Greek ears? Do they sound nice, strange, old-fashioned, elegant, difficult to pronounce…? I’d love to hear your first impression!
