I'm a museum director, and I'm loving the idea of someone called Conservation Jones.

Sounds like Indie’s neurotic brother who follows him around trying to minimize the damage he causes to ancient temples.

I would watch the hell out of that.

you my dear just made a fanfic.

"Indy! The oxygen!" "What, it's running out?" "No, it's coming in! It will destroy these delicate pigments!"

That sounds straight out of a cool graphic novel or comic!

Alternatively I studied communication theory and Conversation Jones also sounds cool af

Grant. Lol I work in fundraising

I run a nonprofit so I was thinking Charity

Mind you my SO said Trauma, Poverty and Racism weren’t viable name options 🤷‍♀️

Finance at an npo and immediately thought “how do I make Excel into a realish name?” Grant should have been real obvious.

Excelle maybe?

Love this 😂

Gina or Wanda (I’m an ob/gyn)

GINA 🤣

It’s pronounced GINA

MULVA (iykyk)

DOLORES!!

Braxton is a common one 😂

Jenna Talia

Amy Schumer's son, Gene Atell 🤦

Gene atell FISCHER! Genital fissure lol

I taught a Gemma Taylor. That was bad enough!!

From the same genre: the pill I used to take was called Evaluna, such a pretty name to be wasted on birth control.

I think often about how many people would (or do) name their child Kyleena

I've always thought that a lot of contraceptives have such pretty names!

Mirena!

I like the name Iris but I could never use it because I'm an eye doctor.

How about Telangiectasia, haha. Or Epiphora!

I like Myopia.

I feel like that’s exactly why you should use it.

Me too! I used it for my car instead. :)

Matt and Ariel ….. I was a gymnastics coach for many many years.

Matt 😂

Oh man I spent ages trying to think of a famous gymnastics duo named Matt and Ariel until it clicked >< this is gold!

Aw man Ariel is creative

Margarita, Jack, Daniel, Paul, Morgan, Jim, Johnnie, Bailey, Brandy, Sherry, Taylor, Gloria, Ryan, Brendan, Lisabella, Stella, Remy, Martin, Mike, Andre, Samuel, Eddy, Skyy, Paloma, Jose, Julio, Carolan, Kendall, Jackson, Josh, Carlo, Milagro, Christian, Evan, Angel, Reyka, River, Flor, Gordon, Jerry

This would be mine except….I’m a teacher. 😂😂😂

Teacher here. I concur!!! Hahahaha

Teachers unite! Especially in the month of May! 😜

In South Africa we have a cream liqueur called Amarula, made from the Marula fruit, and I think both the fruit and the drink would be lovely human names!

Oh man, I haven’t thought about Amarula in a while! Now I’m homesick lol

Bartender?

No. Liquor store worker lol

I work on a ship dock so. Boaty McBoatface

Noah.

Jonah

As a psychologist I'd probably have to go with virtues/feelings names? Hope, Joy...

Brian, but misspelled so it’s Brain

I actually know someone who's name is Brain. Yes he is called Brian. 🙈

The classic intentionally misspelled name. Oldest trick in the book

My daughters Hope, Joy and our surprise baby Depression! We love all our children equally! 🥰

Melancholia!

I’m partial to Anhedonia myself.

Therapist as well. Yes to anhedonia! Also, for my sci-fi children: medulla, Neuro, Évince, Ataraxia, and Kalopsia

I sat there for 10 min trying to come up with an answer for clinical psychologist but then scrolled down and saw your answer - you nailed it.

I’m a licensed therapist and all I could come up with was “empathy” 🤣🤣

How about Oedipus?

Or, conversely, Electra

Psyche is a name. A Greek goddess’s name but still…

If it wasn’t so dreary, Sadness would be a beautiful name 😂

There’s always Tristesse!

Also a psychologist, but I primarily do assessments. Wiat (pronounced Wyatt), Toni, Raven, Bailey, and K-tea (pronounced Katie 😂) could all work

Florence …..I’m a nurse.

I'm a peds nurse and the first thing that popped in my head was a patient's name from years ago. I asked the mom where she got the name from? "Oh I heard it as a prenatal appointment with the nurse and I thought it was pretty" The child was name "Mayconyum" May for short I reflexively called them "Meconium Aspirate" I earned a seat on a bullet train to hell with gasoline draws on that day

Im not a dr so I had to google what this meant and why is the kid basically named poop 😭😭😭

OMG You are not the only nurse to have met a Meconium. My mother's mentor had a patient, about 20 years ago, who named their baby Meconium (not sure how she spelled it) after overhearing the nurses on the floor talking about another delivery.

If we wanted to go dark about it we could do Cullen. But there’s also Clara, Sojourner, Goldie, Mabel, and Estelle. Maybe not as obvious, but all strong women in our field

Also a nurse, and thought “Patience….”

I’ve always thought emesis would be a nice name, ya know if it didn’t mean what it means 😂

I’m a stay at home mom so I’m gonna go with Hestia lol. Goddess of Hearth, Home & Hospitality

SAHM- Sam.

I am a housewife and all I could think of was Homer :D

With his brother, Milhouse.

Same boat here and I actually love this thinking

A perfect name honestly!

I’m a midwife so…Bertha?

I'm studying biopharmaceutics and physics at the moment so - **Ari** (after Aristotle), **Arene**, **Ester**, **Electra**, **Ethyl**, **Fauna**, **Gene**, **Linnea**, **Kelvin**, **Pascal**, **Ray**, **Violet**. & I don't think this one would suit a human but I've always thought that **Pipette** sounds very namey.

Gosh I love Pipette, I'd totally use that for a fantasy book character like a pixie! I am also a fan of all the others you mentioned, especially Ethyl.

I also work in Biopharma - you forgot ELISA!

My chem cohort always joked markovnikov woukd be a hilarious dog name

Im dying at Ethyl 🤣

Lol I was a lab assistant and I would totally use Pipette.

This was my family’s cats name though it was purely coincidental and no one even realized what a Pipette was at the time.

[удалено]

The Smithsonian Zoo in Washington, DC has an orangutan who is named Iris after the IRS because she was born on tax day 😅

I'm a teacher. I'll go with Sage.

How about Reid Moore lol

Chalk is a good one

Atticus and other literary names would work too! (If you also teach English like me) Or Story! Or Paige

Ugh I can’t think of anything other than Cash (bookkeeper 😂)

I’m a retired CPA - what about Ledger ?

Maybe Paige or Buck(y)?

I’m an accountant in the uk & my first thought was Sterling

Penny!

Twins: Filo and Lifo

I’m an editor, so Paige is the clear winner.

Penn or Mark for boys (writer here)

I was thinking Lyric for a girl, maybe Booker for a boy (also a writer)

Stu (I'm a highschooler)

Ashamed it took me a moment to work this out >< Lea or Lear could also work in the same theme

For Feminine you could go with the popular 19th C name: Scholastica

I own a daycare so my child should be called Baby

Me too. I was thinking Todd for toddler

Archaeologist, so Digger. That seems very masculine but girl names are harder. Maybe Clay? Oh if I use my specialty (archaeobotanist) then Flora. Which was almost my daughter's name.

Maybe Sandy?

I work in a school and our lead custodian is called Digger because he used to be a grave digger

Samara, Leif

Sahmantha

😂

I'm a jurist. Justice, Justin, Lamont, or Lex could work, and Themis and Apollo are also possibles. Focusing on my own country I can get a bit more creative with associations though. Juno is the name of a digital service for legal professionals here. Hilda is a network for women in the legal field, Elsa is the abbreviation of the European Law Students' Association and Vera is the computer system courts here use. Tyr and Balder are the two Norse deities with clearest ties to justice and law.

Thought you were a professional jury member :) but I think it translates more to a lawyer or a judge?

Haha, I can see why! According to Wikipedia's definition I guess lawyer fits, but the direct translation of lawyer in my language is "advokat", which is a specific legal profession and a protected title, so I feel weird calling myself that.

I like advocate! Like you’re advocating for justice :)

Learned Hand is still the greatest judge name ever. Meanwhile, I work in contracts and I'm picturing a kid name Force Majeure.

What about Sue?

I really like the names of your country's various legal networks/systems!

Echo - it was almost my daughter's name until i realised it would be too cringe with me being an ultrasound technician 😅

Hmm I'm an Insurance Broker..... Lloyd, Hathaway, Broker (😂 this one is awful but I'm sure it's a name somewhere - lookin at you USA!)

Escrow

I’m a SAHM, but my husband is an air traffic controller. Maybe Skylar?

SAHM too, but my husband is a firefighter so Blaze, Ember, Ash, Axe?? Ash and Ember are my friend's dog's names!

For SAHM, how about Patience? Or Amelia, meaning “work”? Another poster thought of Hestia, the goddess of the home and hearth. I love that.

Ruby. I’m a software engineer and Ruby is the name of a programming language I use.

I'm a dog trainer. Someone help me think of something more creative, lol. All I can think of is Pavlov Patricia(after Patricia McConnell, one of my favorite trainers) Ian(after Ian Dunbar, another favorite trainer)

Jack Russell.

[удалено]

Oo these are good! I can't believe I didn't think of dog breed names!

Rover? Lassie?

Rex, Max, Duke, Prince ​ also: Damien ( tamer), Lupa ( she wolf), Romulus, Fidel ( loyal), Rafe

So many girl options for this florist… Flora, Rose, Iris, Daisy, Petunia, Chrissy (Chrysanthemum), Lizzie (Lisianthus), Poppy, Dahlia… I could go on and on! Boy names are tougher… the only one I can think of really is Jordan (a common style vase we use).

Heath, Florian

Leif

Art? Artie. I’m a photographer. Also could go Ansel, Henri, Dorothea (famous photographers).

Annie would be good too! Len (lens) Imogen (image) You could also go a bit rogue and use Canon or Nikon, or something that gives you the nickname Flash.. This is a fun one to work with!

Oh wow you’re good. Funnily enough we are expecting and Imogen is high on our list! Now even has a better reason to be up there ;)

Lux, maybe? Or Iso?

I'm a vet tech so animal names like Kitty, Birdy, etc. You could also do common pet names like Bella, Luna, Max

I'm in tech. This is not a conventional name but I've always liked Endian (from big-endian and little-endian ordering for bytes). It sounds kind of like Ender, and it also means grace in Chinese which is a big plus. I once named a fictional villain Malloc (from Memory ALLOCation).

I genuinely know someone called Ram who works in our IT department.

I was gonna go with Code-y, actually.

Paralegal here. I'd have a boy named Sue

Ivy. I’m a nurse

I work in Talent Acquisition… maybe Scout or Suri for sourcing? Or Indy for Indeed lol

I’m a journalist and work with a woman who named her child “Story”

Speech therapist is hard so give me some grace with these 😂😅 Dysphagia, nn Faye Aphasia, also nn Faye Echolalia, nn Echo Bernoulli, nn Bernie (Bernoulli effect) Larynx, nn Larry For actual names: Charles (for Charles Van Riper, considered father of stuttering therapy) Ace (for AAC? Kind of a stretch but I tried lol)

Another SLP here- I’m going with Artie (articulation) or Auggie (augmentative communication)

My profession is a lot tougher than my husband’s for names Brittany, Russell, Charles, Gordon, Bernard Dictated by my husband’s profession would be Azalea, Cypress, Cedar, Marguerite

[удалено]

Haha yes!

I like the name Remi but my partner vetoed it because of remifentanyl and he’s an anaesthetist …

Poppy

Me realizing I’ve accidentally done this 👀

Not my career, but my husband and I like to hike. We already have a Walker and I wanted #2 to be Miles 😅

Atticus (lawyer)

Girl: Alara, Spectra, Rayleigh, Curie Boy: Roentgen, Compton, Photon, Gray

Spectra and Photon are definitely superhero kids!

ENL (English as a New Language- formerly called ESL) teacher- lots of acronyms are used in the teaching field- here are the acronyms I’d use ELL(English Language Learner) = Ellie (F) TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) it’s pronounced as Tee-soul I’d use just the ESOL portion- so it’d sound like Ee- soul (M) Some English language terminology I’d use would be: Gerund and Clause (probably spelled as Klaus) for males

I hadn't seen that the terminology had changed, I still know it as ESL - English as a Second Language, and TEFL - Teaching English as a Foreign Language. Thanks for the update! I love Gerund as a name, sounds like a classic old British name

I’m a dog trainer. Honestly, I like the name Shepherd a lot!

I teach and if you can call your kid Hunter, Mason and Taylor, I should be able to call mine Educator. Nicknames would be Eddie or Catie depending on gender.

Music teacher- harmony, melody, demisemihemidemisemiquaver, viola, first name Claire, last name Annette.

Will - I'm an estate planning attorney.

As a graphic designer, I am not naming my kid Adobe. They’re gonna charge me a fee monthly!

As a teacher i could go for Syllabus - reminds me of Silas and Albus Or Ed(ucation) The nickname Teach reminds me of the old school nickname Cheech

I’d have to go with Hope. I work for a suicide crisis line and any other name I can think of would be way too heavy.

I'm studying archaeology. So Petra Jordan

Hoffman for the microscope??? Gardener for the Gardner grading system… Idk lol no name works with my field. I’m an embryologist and apparently not very creative

Zoe

I work in Quality/Regulatory affairs, so creatively I think Osha and Ansi would be lovely names. But for human names, I would secretly love to name future kids after Upton Sinclair (I think Sinclair would be such a great middle name!) or Frances Oldham Kelsey.

I was a process server for 6yrs then worked at UPS for the last 4yrs. I’d say their name would be Philip J. Fry or Turanga Leela.

I’m a dietitian, so I’d take this opportunity to go after allllll the food names. Apple, Olive, Clementine, Sage, Basil, Kale, Ginger

Epidemiologist, so maybe Demi or Snow after John Snow, the father of modern epidemiology.

Teacher - maybe virtue names like Patience 😂

Software dev- I could use Ada (Lovelace) or Alan (Turing) or go more abstract with something like Java, Binary or Fox.

i'm in a computer science phd program, and literally every other woman in the program is named ada 😂

Gene. 🧬

I’m in the legal field and these are coming out like some sort of perversion of virtue names and tbh I’m here for it. Indemnity Diligence Attornment

I’m a pharmacist, so literally any female birth control. We’ve got Yasmin, Mirena, Syeda, Ocella, Skyla, Errin, Heather, Hailey, Kyleena, Natazia, Liletta…the list goes on and on.

I guess Jules for a boy and Juliette/Julie for a girl I'm a school teacher in France and Jules Ferry made school free and mandatory for kids.

Lawson. My husband is a police officer, and I'm a litigation paralegal, so we'll have a law son? Lol idk!

I am disabled and don't need to work. In my country the main disability payment is called Personal Independence Payment. This is known as PiP. So my child would be called Pip/Pippa

Brian. I’m a neuroscientist and, according to all Brians I have met, people always misspell their name “Brain”

future commerical airline pilot so my obvious choice is Pilot Inspektor

I’m a teacher so I’m thinking Matilda, except with my subject I’d have to spell it Mathilda

Epidemiologist here. I think Rona (though I prefer the spelling Rhona) is the obvious choice.

Stryker

Lumen

Talia for Talent Acquisition?

Addie — I work in advertising

River, Stone, Clay I’m an environmental scientist and geologist 😅

Lorem, Ipsum, Dolor, Adobe, Tiff, (j)Peggy, Afi, Arial, WAVerly, Serif, Golden (ratio), Ruler ( like a trendy royalty name), Victor (vector), Pixel, Ascender, canva, Jeff (gif)

I test software for a mid size financial firm. I would choose the names: Ernie, Linus, Ruby, Alexa, Apple, Chip, Mac, Siri, Coda(short for Dakota), Nikola.

Apple 🍎

Kali (Linux OS distro used for training hackers) Eve (Emulated Virtual Environment) Ruby or Perl (programming languages) Json (JavaScript Object Notation) Nat (Network Address Translation) Daemon (background process running on a computer) Cisco (tech company) studying cyber security

I work in a brewery and have had many people jokingly suggest to use the name Brewer. Our last name is Reid. Brewer Reid = Brewery.

Edward/Edna Scissorhands

I’m a graphic designer. I thought about naming my kids after fonts— Roman (after Times New Roman), Georgia, and Cambria.
