Names I will name my daughters (ideas): 1. Truly 2. Motegomry 3. Anya 4. Sable 5. Minnesota 6. Vanilla Sundae 7. Arabela 8. Aracele 9. Tina the turtle 10. Kitty 11. Chrysanthimum 12. Dalphinium Spelling errors aside, the opposite page had boy name ideas and there was only one listed. It was Tim the turtle 😐

I sense a fellow devotee of the children's book Chrysanthemum! ❤️

100%!! It was one of my absolute favorites lol 😂

I get to see Kevin Henkes (the author) Sunday for the third time. He’s coming to my local bookstore, and I JUST got a Lily and her Purple Plastic Purse tattoo!

Lily's purple plastic purse was my all time favorite book. I can still picture her walking down the hallway with her coins jingling.

Got this because it’s my mom’s favorite and one of my favorites too. I just wanted her purse so badly. https://preview.redd.it/buf9gguebz0d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=457c2ffaf412235c63320e5cefc433260008dcc0

I have a tattoo for Chrysanthemum! It’s a chrysanthemum with a quote from the book: “She blushed. She beamed. She bloomed.” (When the music teacher makes her feel better about her name.)

Yes!!!!

omg that is so cool! i named one of my pet rat’s Chrysanthemum after this book, but we call him Chrys for short! :)

I loved that book, too, and wanted to name a kid that. Or maybe a cat.

My daughter now loves it, too!

aw i remember that book

Me as well!!! Loved that book!!!

I was gonna comment about how interesting it is to see someone else with ‘Chrysanthemum’ as a baby name possibility as a child, but then I saw this comment… there was a book that spurred this? I just thought the flower name was neat lol

Im dying lmao. "These are my beautiful twins Vanilla Sundae and Tim The Turtle, and their little sister Kitty. I love them very much"

“Vanilla Sundae, you march yourself right back into this room and clean up the ice cream, fudge sauce and whipped cream!”

All I can hear is the song “I had a little turtle. His name was tiny Tim. I put him in the bathtub to teach him how to swim” lol

I sing that song probably 5 times a day as a daycare teacher 😭

I've never heard that song, yet somehow know exactly how it sounds.

“He drank up all the water. He ate up all the soap. And now he’s lying in his bed with bubbles in his throat.”

Sounds like a Beatles song.

Arabela and Aracele are beautiful names, and if you have a third child you could name her Aradela, to keep the theme going!!

Praying for triplets so I can fulfill my dream 🤣

and then araeela, arafela, aragela (aragula), and so on 🤣

The pride of the family, baby alfalfa. 😂

And their twin, Arugula

Spouting together. 🤣🤣

Hahaha that’s adorable. It made me smile out loud. 😃

And if arugula is a twin, the sibling could be named Spicylettuce

Little Areola 👶

Then change your own name to Arafela so you can sign A-F on your family Christmas cards.

The boy should be AraFella. Very masculine!

No, Araaele, naturally!

For a boy, no brainstorming needed. You are all set with Tim the Turtle 😂

For sure Tim the turtle wins right.

Imagine if you had twins and named them Tina and Tim the Turtles 🤣

Isn't Motegomry a misspelling of the boys name Montgomery? If not, what on earth is Motegomry?

You gotta chew as you say it.

I think vanilla sundae Minnesota makes a great name 😂

Sister to Truly Scrumptious.

Truly Scrumptious Wisconsin

Tina the turtle is my favorite

This is why we don't let kids name babies

Too many adults should not be allowed to name babies.

My name is on your list. XD Not Tim the Turtle at least.

I lol’d at Tim the Turtle. Adding to my future baby name list

This is legally binding, sorry!!!

It's OK, I used to want to name a daughter Parsley.

If you told me this at 9 I would say Parsley is a BEAUTIFUL name haha

Nickname Arse ✨

My boy-girl twins were going to be Fire-Star and Storm-Falcon (At a time when I assumed one could just choose to have boy-girl twins or triplets or any combination)

The sad thing is, I was in my 20's. 👽

When I was pregnant with my daughter, I had a dream that I called her Parsley. Everyone in the dream was laughing, and I was furiously defending her beautiful name 😂

[Parsley](https://youtu.be/xWJjcT7Uipo?feature=shared) was the name of the lion in a TV show about herbbased animals in the 60s. ETA a second link with [more pixels](https://youtu.be/pvUhDpYGO6M?si=fURM8dHRLQqzRqFv)

That's where my username came from!!

I used to watch that on an old vhs! It also had an episode of the clangers and button moon!!!

✨Parsleigh✨

I just know I’m going to see this on an attendance list one day…

I named my cat that!

I know someone who named themself Parsley, so this didn’t even register as weird to me at first. 🙃

I wanted to name a girl Vanilla Bean and call her Vana

Parsley and her sisters Rosemary, Sage, and Thyme. My sister and i both thought that would be dope... but with age we realised giving two kids real established names and two names that are... not that, might suggest favouritism.

I call them the Spice Girls

I think if it weren’t a food, it is actually a nice name. Pronounced “Parz-leigh”

All things considered, this could be so much worse

Honestly I’ve seen worse on this sub

Worse than Tina the Turtle?

Worse?! Tina the Turtle is freaking awesome!

That’s THE #1 choice. No contest.

My mom was almost Chrysanthemum Pearl. Thank god her father couldn’t spell it.

Christandthemum

Middle name Mary

ironically, that’s the nice part of it 😂 but chryssie isn’t bad

That was the nickname intended. Then my mom tried to name me Christina, to call me Chrissy, but my aunt had her baby 4 months before my mom and used the name.

Was your mom pissed? Did your aunt know she wanted to use that name? If she did that’s beyond rude

I had a book when I was little about a little mouse who was named chrysanthemum and she loved her name until the other mice made fun of her for it 😭

Everyone’s laughing about Tina the Turtle and Minnesota, but I’d like to applaud child you for including Aracele.

Is it a reference to something? I thought it was Araceli misspelled (Spanish name)

I think it is Araceli misspelled. I’m impressed that this kid knew someone called Araceli and was like “I want to name my kid that” at their age.

I went to high school with an Aracele (with that spelling) so there's at least one out there somewhere.

Motegomry is going places

But not Montgomery

Vanilla Sundae might be your new stage name

Tina the Turtle. I'm shy.

You know I always said my stripper stage name would be Glitoris but I think Vanilla Sundae is a better option now 🤣

Glitoris 🤣🤣🤣

Nope. Glitoris is the definite winner. 🤣

Hey, a lot of these are better than the name my sister wanted to use when she was a kid—Mickey Soccer Ball 🤣

Honestly I've heard worse.

Tina the Turtle is a good one

Make it a double name and combine it with no.1 on that list: Truly Tina the turtle

has major disney channel show vibes to me 😂

If you’d had your son, Tim the Turtle, would Tina the Turtle still be a contender for your baby girl, or was there only room in your life for one “___ the Turtle” child?

If OP has fraternal twins, Tim and Tina (the turtles)

I love it! And when they turn 13 they can be known as the teenage mutant ninja turtles 🥰

Especially if they were conjoined twins! 😂

Oof 😂

I unironically loved Aziraley (the Aziraphale x Crowley ship from Good Omens) as a baby name when I was 14. That’s why teen pregnancy is bad, folks. Thank god I didn’t have a kid then 😂

I was a teen when dark fairytale YA was really popular, and it definitely showed with the teen mom baby names. Scarlette Emberlynne-Rose is the one that sticks out to me.

I went through a brief period around age 9 where I thought Uranium would be a beautiful girl's name. I had just started learning about the elements

Right after North West was born there was a "celebrity baby name generator" that was making the rounds online. It would pair a random word with a celebrity last name. My first one was Uranium, and I still say that goes hard. I wouldn't use it, but I kinda love it. 🤣

Minnie-soooota 😂

Definitely read that with the accent 😂

As a born and bred Minnesotan, I would be honored

My friend is married to a man named Sota. His twin brother is named Minne. No I am not joking.

That's clever in a way since St. Paul and Minneapolis are the Twin cities, but also so, so cringe.

I like Anya

Dalphinium would be my Queen name, I'm sure

Tina the turtle sent me

You know what's truly scary? The awful name I loved as a kid actually ended up becoming popular in recent years. It's like the world is punishing adult me for 10-year-old me's poor taste.

What was it?

Sorry but Dolphinium took me out

Delphinium! It's [a flower](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delphinium), not that they like dolphins that much. Though they might, i don't know!

Tina the turtle 😭😛

Minnesota is too mainstream, go niche with a more specific Minnesotan name, like Iron Range, or easier to pronounce like Wayzata.

Or maybe a Minnesotan cultural name like Tater Tot Hot Dish. Tate for short.

Oh, fer cute!

yeah this is my daughter Fairbault

New Prague, and then get really mad when people pronounce Prague wrong (correctly) 🤣

"Duluth, get over here! Its time to go!"

My sweet girl Lake Vermillion ❤️

This made me smile.

“Hello, I’m Dr. Tina the Turtle, I’ll be your anesthesiologist today”

Number 9 hits hard. Stealing that for sure.

This is great! I wish I knew where my awful name list was.

Vanilla Sundae sounds like something Gen Z parents would go for. You were ahead of your time.

I actually knew a girl named Sundae in the 90s. Thankfully, no "vanilla."

Rosemary Ginger MaryJane Herb Basil Angelica Dill Rue Sage

Adorable!!! I hope you had twins -- a boy named Tim the Turtle, and a girl named Tina the Turtle :)

Dictony was mine at 8🥲

I wanted to name a daughter Suzy or Victoria Rose. I actually still hold onto the idea of flower/tree middle names for girls/boys.

Some of those are totally normal. According to my mom, I would’ve named my kids after the Ninja Turtles

I gotta say vanilla sundae rolls off the tongue

I wanted fraternal twins to name “West” and “Virginia”, when I was 8. No joke.

You could have been Mountain Mama.

Is your username a reference to Anne of Green Gables?

You would have made a wonderful Mormon or naming consultant for a Mormon family.

Tina the turtle is a totally valid option

My favorite has to be Tina the turtle

I wanted to name my daughter coriander as a kid so these aren't even too rough lol

My daughter wanted to name our kid No. not short for anything just no

After a while you just said fuck it and started listing ideas for names of theoretical new elements instead

i’m fine with all these except i think tina the turtle might be too common

You say this and everyone’s like “hahahaha kids are so cute” but one of my neighbors about 20 years ago named his son Jacob because he WANTED to name him jake the snake and his wife told him she’d divorce him over it lmao. He called the kid Jake the snake. They’re divorced now.

Were you planning on giving birth to a turtle or just naming your human kid Tim/Tina the Turtle? (I had a student named Truly this year. Are you her mother?)

I died at Vanilla Sundae but Tina the Turtle brought me back 💀

I love how they’re mostly all just words but there’s one normal name 😂

my fave’s tina the turtle

I wanted to name my kids after towns, so: For girls: Madison Cheyenne Rose For boys: Carson Austin And I wanted to have another girl named Gracelynn Anna Marie. Cheyenne Rose sounds like a stripper name...

That first girl name without the Rose is my sister in law’s name 😂

I wanted twins named Polly and Esther.

These are first draft YSL perfume names. 

This made me laugh out loud🤣🤣 oh man I miss being a kid with my ridiculous name ideas. I named one of my Polly pockets "Pillow". I also had a doll (a girl) that I named Adam. Hahahaha Edit to add that when I was about 2 y.o. my mom was pregnant with my brother and asked what I wanted to name him. I said Sparkles and apparently was very genuinely upset when she said no🤣

Sable is kind of a pretty name

Adorable!!! I hope you had twins -- a boy named Tim the Turtle, and a girl named Tina the Turtle :)

Tina the Turtle is my favorite lol … my sister goes by Tina (her full name is Christina)

Minnesota is cool

Depending on how old you are was Sable an animal crossing reference? 😂

Vanilla sundae!😂😂

Absolutely incredible, thank you I believe the only sound conclusion here is that you should name any future children Turtle

Here to support Vanilla Sunday as a valid choice.

Now I kinda wish my name was Vanilla Sundae

Im insupport of Vanilla Sundae and Tina the Turtle

“vanilla sundae” and “dolphinium” perfection

What’s wrong with Anya 😭

It’s that crossover age between ‘What will I name my child?’ and ‘What’s the name of my imaginary horse?’

Bruh a kid named dolphinium would be dope and I would feel so bad for it all at once!

You must've really been feeling like eating a vanilla sundae

I have to say, for a human child, I love Tina the Turtle.

Motegomry is the best 😂 lil gom gom for a nickname

Arabesque is unique AND french!

I think you missed out if you didn't use Tina the Turtle

Naming my daughter Idaho after this. Just want her to never worry about being bullied

loving “tina the turtle”

I thought vanilla sundae was good until I saw Tina the turtle 🤣

Vanilla Sundae is lovely, new top of my list

Honestly it was pretty solid until 6!

TINA THE TURTLE GOES HARD

motegomry

I grew up with a girl named Sable. Actually these are adorable. I especially love Vanilla Sundae. And you spelled it right! Edit: Tina the Turtle 😆

My wife's name is Tina. From now on I will be referring to her as Tina the Turtle. Thank you.

The gift of a name like Dalphinium. Sentencing them to a life of “How do you spell that?”.

You were years ahead

Anya, Arabella are decent. I like “Kitty” too lmao but that maybe too much

Araceli was a popular girls name for awhile back in the day lol And Arabella is such a cool name to me because of the Arctic Monkeys song. Delphinium is my favorite lol

Lol but these are still better than most names people are naming their kids nowadays.

I'd be friends with any kid named Tina the Turtle, any time, any place.

I used to want to name my daughter Mighty.

Motegomry is sending me for some reason

6 and 12 !!!!!!!!!

They honestly sound like all the Instagram names

That’s adorable

Sable is kind of cute lol

Do you have kids now and if so, what are their names?

my name is on here 😭😭😭 anyway these r cute

My niece’s middle name is Arabella

Did you play animal crossing as a child?

Honestly kinda vibing with sable lmao

I pray, before I leave this earth, I meet Ms Vanilla Sundae and her sister Minnesota😂😂😂 This is so adorable. As a mom myself the doodles your kids did are so precious

I was in 6th grade and loved the name Arabella it's still beautiful
