okay I love the name Maverick-means nonconformist and I love Chosen for a name but I was looking for names with the same meaning as Maverick and a name similar to Chosen. Also another name that incorporates Angela in it but not Angelina, Angelo, Angel, Angelica, or Angelique i'm looking for something different. And the same thing with the name Robert but not Robbie, Bobbie, Roberta etc.

if you do not take care of your child yes you are looked at as a parent incase you didnt know

Sigh. A child is your responsibility to care for yes, but they are not an aspect of your personality or some kind of expression of your ego to be stamped with your non-conformist 'brand'.

my child is a representation of me

No, they are not.
Your child is a person in their own right. They do not represent you at all.

If you don't mind made up, you could try adding different endings to Angel so: Angelette, Anjelou, Angelise, Angelisa, Angelita, Angeline, Angelia, Angelana, Angeletta.

Robard, Robin, Robson, Roben, Robern, etc etc.

You don't. But you are completely free to stop reading it and/or replying at any point you like.

This is MN so I think they should be called Sebastian and ottilie. Bit of a bummer for DD1.

MikeUniformMike · 22/04/2020 18:07

Not really. Grin
They were just the first name that came to my mind. Although I'm not sure they are really names.

MikeUniformMike · 22/04/2020 18:05

Jayden-Balonz and Cherrypeachparfait, obvs.

TheDIsiilusionedAnarchist · 22/04/2020 16:36

Could go with Independence (Indy/Indie) I guess

TheDIsiilusionedAnarchist · 22/04/2020 16:32

Rebel would be the only name I can think of similar to Maverick.

Ella, Gelly, Gigi, Annie, for Angela or Seraphin/Seraphina if it’s the meaning that matters

Berta/Bertie, Robyn, Roby for Robert maybe

@BaronessBomburst interesting. Thank you

@Acaciaqu

How can it be more than a name? Hmm it is a name.

I'm surprised you consider yourself very non conformist but expect your child to conform to you by 'being a representation of you'.

BaronessBomburst · 22/04/2020 16:21

Eloi (or Eloy) means Chosen

MikeUniformMike · 22/04/2020 16:13

If you like it OP, use it. I wouldn't but you probably wouldn't like my DC's names.

@MikeUniformMike yeah for some of us most the time its not about that but I guess worried about what others think takes a toll on people thats like the main reason its rare for people to non-conform sadly

Delilah is getting popular and that has bad associations.
It doesn't stop people choosing it.
