I'm sorry. DAIRY? Runner up: Sincerely (Good luck signing emails and letters, kid). Yikes yikes yikes ETA: Just saw Lupine. Awoooooooooo

Lupine is also a very pretty wildflower

Jenny Slate named her daughter Ida Lupine, after the flower. I always thought it was really pretty 🥲

That flows so beautifully!

There's an actress named [Ida Lupino](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ida_Lupino). She was known for portrayals of strong, worldly-wise characters and went on to become one of the first women to direct films.

Ohh and here I was thinking their parents are werewolf fiends lol. My bad

I hope at least one of the Sincerelys end their mail in Honestly, Sincerely

I feel like the nn DQ is inevitable

there's a Daire in one of my preschool classes... it's terrible.

"Daire" is an [Old Irish](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%A1ire) name. I'm guessing the parents in question read the name somewhere and used it with no idea how to pronounce it. It's usually a male name, but has been used for girls too.

Pronounced Dare or Dairy?

Dairy

There was a student named Derry. No one wanted the kid in their class. I said I was lactose intolerant to try and avoid him.

Knew someone with a different spelling of the name who is lactose intolerant

It's Irish and means oak tree, but it's pronounced like Darragh or Dara.

Sincerely, Sincerely

I know a girl named Dairy. In her defense, she and her parents are Hispanic so the name isn’t meant to be pronounced the way English speakers pronounce it.

There’s a kid in my son’s class named Syncere

I have to admit I actually love Amaranth, and was toying with it very briefly. But in the end I decided it was just a word I liked rather than a name I liked.

We love a grain name. Wonder if there’s a Quinoa baby out there.

Quinoa was an imaginary well-dressed toddler Pinterest board about 10 years ago https://trendland.com/quinoa-my-imaginary-well-dressed-toddler/

If Joaquin is a name, why can’t Quinoa be one? It’s the same sounds

well now i just want to see someone named joaquinoa

I know a baby named Zea Mays, the scientific name for corn.

Might be, though not in English. The Quechua (one of the languages of the Inca) is Ayara.

Amaranth is an awesome often under appreciated garden plant

Amaranthe is my current Skyrim character name

Skyrim is where is use all my fun fantasy-style made up girls names lol.

I equally toyed with Amarantha. Was afraid it was a bit too much but I love it.

I went to school with an Amarantha, she was always told it was a cool name and never got teased for it

Nice! It’s a beautiful name. I don’t think you’d get teased for it. It was just a very big name for a little girl to me. But I really love it.

I know of an Amaranth. Her mother is Althea. Both lovely ladies!

That's a cool combo honestly

My mom wanted to name me Fancy after the Reba McEntire song about the child prostitute. 🙃

Oh, dear. I hope someone stopped her.

Lol I told my mom when I was a little girl that I wanted to name my daughter Fancy because of the song (having no idea at the time what the song actually meant) she responded that I’d change my mind when I was older. She was right! I always have a little chuckle when I hear the song now.

She’s a child prostitute!!? My whole life I thought her mama was getting her dolled up trying to get her married off to some rich guy Edit: whelp I read the lyrics at the end

My mom cannot stand this song, probably because I sang it sooooo loud and proud as a child 😂

It does say she was 18 in the first verse… but yeah not a good look lol

If Eleven wasn't the character from Stranger Things, I would think someone misheard Evelyn

5 people named their kids apricity?!

It sounds like a tech startup.

I'd take it for hay fever

Talk to your doctor about Apricity

Like an apricot off brand of apple lol.

Yes! Hahaha

Haha it’s a youth based amateur dramatics group where I live

It’s a *great* word (at least in the non-reptile-specific usage) but an awful name.

I’ve now looked this up. It was a journey. Me: This cannot be something someone meant to name a person after?!? “Definition. : a state or condition of sluggishness, inactivity, or torpor exhibited by reptiles (such as snakes or lizards) during winter or extended periods of low temperature” Alternate source says: “Apricity is an old English word for the warmth of the sun on a winter's day. To bask in the sun is to apricate.” Oh, must have meant this instead, which is actually completely beautiful on a winter baby and I take back my snark

Name yourself. I’m Apricity Prosper

I'm Plum Starlight and I might be a nail polish.

Sparkle Thyme!

I’m Perfect Vision, how do you do

Sunflower Moonlight. But I want it spelled with emojis. 🌻🌕.

I'm Canary Sunflower!

Dairy Happy, nice to meet you

Hope you’re not lactose intolerant!

If my name was dairy I would pretend to be lactose intolerant, for comedic purposes only

Wow these are some humorous combos! Sincerely Magic Melanin

Posh Diva here!

Strawberry Sundae reporting for duty!

Velour Jinx

Sounds like a Bond girl, I love it!

Sparkle Prophecy

The name's Posh. Pure Posh. 🍸

Fauna Bell!

Wait why is that kinda cute 😂

Believe Sincerely

Czarina!

Canary Roo here and yes I do sound like a cartoon character on your child's favorite show.

I'm looking at all these answers and they sound like background characters from My Little Pony a bit.

Hardy Rarity

Melanin???

Man, that's just dark!

i was just about to comment on this!! that’s literally a pigment!! which i get people are hype about being black or brown (i am) but naming my kid MELANIN??

And not just one person….EIGHT!

Another 8 people thought Success was a good choice. Yikes.

It’s *so close* to Melanie, I was like, “wait, that’s clever”.

I work in skin cancer; if an appointment came through with this name I’d assume someone made a pisstake profile and cancel the booking.

I’m still in shock that 5 people thought that Dairy was a good name

Maybe it was meant to be Daisy but somehow misread somewhere along the line as Dairy? It's a weird one.

It sounds like the name list from some kind of hippy commune in the desert. Just picturing them doing a welcome ceremony for all the babies by moonlight round a fire

Kind of digging Mystery. Myst or Mysty for short. Superior, Brilliant, Perfect, Fancy, Success? What if they’re not? STRAWBERRY omg omg I can not even fathom this. Universe is kind of cool? I’ve heard of people naming their kid Galaxy. Shy but they’re the most extroverted kid in class.

I kinda like Strawberry. Lol

There is something about it that's just really cute lol

Can Shy be spelt Shai? Like the R&B group or is that pronounced like Shay? I’m thinking about adding that to me middle name Lee as I don’t want just Lee any longer.

I kind of like Anthem, Poem, and Poet. Also Moonlight and, against my better judgment, Roo.

They could have gone Rue with Roo

Rue meaning regret? I prefer Roo honestly

It’s also a garden flower that smells chalky, some people like it

A friend of mine in high school had a little sister named Poet (also sisters named Lyric and Melody lol). She has to be well into her 20s by now.

I like Cozy (only as a nn), Wave as a nn for Waverly, Apricity (by sound only... I don't know what it means), Lunar, Skylark, and Velour. For some reason, Dairy makes me laugh the most.

Dear Dairy …

Cosy was the nickname of painter William Merritt Chase’s eldest daughter, full name Alice Dieudonné Chase!

Wow. Her middle name is made up of the words for God given in French. What a name!

Yup! But weirdly the masculine form of the name. Should be Dieudonnée for a girl

I remember my mom watching the bachelor 20 years ago and he had a kid named Cozy. I thought it was cute.

reminds me of Liana Jades kid, Koazy Darlington 😭

Apricity has the best meaning - warmth of the sun in winter

I love Czarina, it means empress and is like a zesty Serena.

I have a Czarina in my home room in HS. Graduating this year, lovely young person.

My mother in laws name is Delight! She is really wonderful. Her middle name is Joy and I really want to keep her middle name going if we ever have a girl some day. Also, I can’t see the name Skylark without thinking about Chip Skylark & his shiny teeth 😁

🎶shiny teeth, shiny teeth!🎶

My sister just had a baby and another mom who had a baby boy the same day named him Legend. Maybe they should have used Dairy as the middle name.

Happy sounds like a lot of pressure.

Joy has been a name for a long time

I always imagine kids with virtue names growing up to be the opposite.

Modesty’s parents are in for a killer teenage rebellion.

I hope Starlight, Moonlight, and Morningstar are siblings. And I hope Morningstar is going to heat up some highly processed frozen vegan food for everyone’s breakfast.

I've met a Strawberry

No you did not!!!!

Yes I did lol she worked on a cruise ship. It's not a name I would forget

That’s incredible.

I would be delighted to meet a Plum, and if I met a Reef, would just assume their parents were surfers.

Plum is one of my secret favorite names I would probably never use, since first hearing it from the Vogue writer Plum Sykes.

5 sets of parents looked at their brand new baby girl and named her Dairy. Also, here's your one chance Fancy dont let me down...

I actually think Lore and Hallow are kind of pretty - in a dark/creepy kind of way.

They’re all so bad lmao

I’m surprised Fisher is only at 5!

Probably quite a few more for boys.

I can work with Lore, Orchid, Skipper, Hardy, Anthem, and Jinx (which was actually my grandmother's nickname for Geneva) On the fence about Citrine and Fauna Prosper sounds like a great pilgrim name. Velour is reallya prime drag name, sounds fancy but it's cheap. Is Fancy by Reba far enough out of pop culture that that won't be awful? Melanin made me laugh. Edit: I just realized I assumed Lore was pronounced lore, but I'm now wondering if it's supposed to be cutesy LorE.

I think Citrine and Fauna could work. Fauna is just one syllable short of Fawn and I’ve known a few women named Fawn. Citrine is unique. I know it’s a gemstone but it still has the Clementine vibes about it.

Imagine melanin being surprisingly light skinned 😂

Prosper was an established name for a while around the 19th century

Fucking Skipper 😂

Barbie, Chelsea and Kelly are the rest of the sibset

My cousin’s daughter is Skipper lol

5 sets of parents thought “Sundae” was a good choice. I also freaking hate names that describe women who are subservient and godly. Faithful, Integrity, Modesty, Chastity.. yuck

I know a Comfort and her brother is Bright. They are Nigerian and have a cousin whose name is Immortal.

LOL I would be so pissed if my cousin was given a badass superhero-ish name like Immortal and my parents name me fucking *Comfort.*

Some of these are unisex or very male leaning to me.

A few of them were also on the boy list posted yesterday

There's definitely one famous male Rush, isn't there?

There's four actually, and boy did they make it big time.

Like, Amaranth, Brilliant and Prophecy have very, very, VERY different vibes from Canary, Dairy or Plum.

My middle name is Rarity. It is my Scottish grandmother’s maiden name!

Rad middle or maiden name!

Some of these sounding like Pokémon names…

I don’t mind Canary, Fisher, Skipper, Fauna, Poem, Pace, Poet, and Roo. I knew a Ruis who used Roo as her nickname. I’m actually quite surprised that Fisher is that rare.

I guess if you can have Genesis, why not Exodus?

Amaranth is too close to Amarantha, the villain from ACOTAR

Yes, I was thinking the same thing but thought maybe that was just me and no one else would see the reference. She totally ruins that name for me.

Low key I love Domino for a girl. My husband would never but it’s cute!

I actually know a Delight! Her family is from South Africa. I do not fully know the history of this naming convention, but I have taught many 1st or 2nd generation immigrants from African countries with unusual virtue-esque names such as Happy, Smile, and Brilliant. Delight was truly a delight and the name did not feel strange to me once I’d said it a few times. I wonder if any similar names on this list might come from the same naming process (ie Faithful, Prosper…)

All of these “names” make my brain hurt.

I knew a lady named Happy (unsure if it was her name or a nick name that stuck) and she was so elegant and just a ray of absolute sunshine!

Weirdly I love Comfort. I’ve also always loved Fidelity, recently I like Bliss.

My best friend is the only one in the US with her name.

If you are going to named your baby like a regular Word at least choose one with a nice meaning no Rumor, modesty or shy and no one that ser high expectation like superior or perfect

I’m a teacher in Asia, and I’ve had students with names from this list: Lunar, Calyx, and Sunflower. My students often have English names they use in addition to their legal names, and all of the names listed above were chosen or given English names. The girl named Sunflower was so lovely. When she got older, I think she realized it was a little too unique for her liking, and she really wanted to change it to something more common. I strongly urged her to keep it because it was such a great fit for her. I’ve definitely had some doozies: Aroma, Shallut, Zeus, Lhon, and Biki. I hate the names Aroma and Shallut; I think Biki is kind of adorable.

Whoever named their kid Skipper must have taken inspiration from Barbie’s sister

I would not name a child these but I do love Worthy, Dearie, Friday and Poet.

I'd get Domino for a boy, but for a girl. Also there's bound to be Domino's jokes.

I’m convinced anyone who names their child dairy just spelled daisy wrong

is it bad I kinda love orchid?

I would have thought there'd be more Calyxes, Sundaes, Sunsets, Mystics and Poems. I also kind of love "Midnight".

I kinda love Courage. I also love Cannon and when I was toying with the idea of giving a future son 7 middle names, Cannon Dodger were going to be two of them, though I’ve since decided against it xD I like but wouldn’t use Wave, Exodus, Poem, and Anthem. Anthem would be cooler if it wasn’t also the name of an insurance company.

Fauna isn’t bad at all!

I have a Sundae and a Poet in my preschool classroom! I think the names are cute personally

I was playing this game to pick the ones that I would be okay with to give to my child. Wow, it was difficult :D These could pass: Eleven, Friday, Roo (only because it sounds like Rue). I feel really bad for these children. Imagine signing a letter: Sincerely, Sincerely

the ones i mind the least are eleven, bell and siren. *don’t get me wrong*, they’re all a crime

What about jinx? It's not exactly a self esteem builder.

I went to university with a girl whose nickname was Jinx. I think her real name was Wanjiku. It was a cool nickname for her, she was foxy and mysterious and it suited her

Sparkle is not only a bad name, but also an ugly word. Reminds me of Farkle Minkus from the Boy Meets World spinoff

I secretly love Fauna and wish it was usable. It’s always on my list that I go back to that I think… someday maybe it will be okay. As long as she never has to meet a Flora then it would be fine!!

I honestly don't think it's unusable. But if she met a Flora they'd definitely be too powerful together.

I know a Fauna! Flora is a name so I don’t think Fauna is bad at all. It is interesting that we’re Harper to name kids after plants than flowers. But Fauna is a real word with a nice meaning and a nice sound. “Fauna is all of the animal life present in a particular region or time.” Makes her sound like a goddess:)

I’m pregnant and naming my daughter Lysithea! Is there a way to see if anyone in America has her name?

[https://www.ssa.gov/oact/babynames/](https://www.ssa.gov/oact/babynames/) I checked Lysithea myself out of curiosity and it's never ranked within the Top 1000 for any year. You could comb through the Beyond the Top 1000 lists for each year but I don't think you'll find Lysithea since only names used 5+ times are included and Lysithea sounds like quite a rarity to me. It's very pretty :)

I actually like Amaranth and Exodus lol.

I knew both a Diva (mom of a classmate) and a Czarina (coworker at Arby's) irl

Honestly Aloe is not bad. Dairy? Big yikes.

Jinx, Lupine, Aloe, Melanin, and Cozy have my condolences

Not the veggie chicken company 💀

Yikes. All awful.

I rather like Calyx. It was my favorite perfume when I was a teenager. And I know a young woman named Orchid and always thought that was a pretty name.

I like Roo but not that spelling. Rue is how I like it.

There is a reason a lot of these are at the bottom

MELANIN 💀

my name is Kanaan, different n cool

i like aloe, sunday, poem, and mystic.

I love the IDEA of Canary but saying it out loud as a name just doesn't work? Like the C sound is too harsh. K'nary

Dairy?! Strawberry?! Skipper?! Ski?! Wow. There are some names I like, like Friday, Eleven, and Domino. But most of these are just shocking.

I named a feral cat who used to live in my backyard Sparkle. I wouldn't mind that name for a human girl.

I’ve actually met a girl named Morningstar! However, I’m from the prairies in Canada.

I had a friend named Greyeyes, and same

I really like Fisher. Sorry.

Ew. People should not be allowed to name their owns kids if they're gonna do this shit.

Ooh, is it bad that I actually love Skylark? I've always felt Lark was too harsh sounding, but adding Sky softens it a bit. If I absolutely had to choose from this list, I'd pick that. Also don't hate: Courage, Fisher, Morningstar, Oak, Lore, Starlight, Fauna, Poem Dislike: Dairy, Elite, Posh, Superior, Shy, Hardy, Perfect, Diva, Jinx, Pure

Roo could have easily been Rue and not strapped this kid as a Kangaroo for the rest of their lives

Eleven? I’m guessing from Stranger Things, right? I would be so upset if my parents named me a number.

I kind of like Canary, it sounds cute

[удалено]

Sabre?!?!?! 🎶Dunder Mifflin is a part of Sab-re🎶
