Totally random words that would make nice names

I’m sure this has been done before but I was just thinking about how Alchemy sounds really nice. Al for short, obviously.

For boys:
Alchemy
Currant
Errand
Filo
Shiver
Spending
Toboggan

For girls:
Anklet
Celery
Evil
Lightly
Maybe
Navy
Whimsy

Might work for both:
Ample
Denim
Frankly

What other random words sound like they’d make nice names if only they’d catch on? Obviously light-hearted and not actually suggesting anyone uses them (although…)

I'm mostly certain this thread isn't serious but I love Navy 🤣

@sashh your list is better, and you type faster.

viques · 31/07/2022 12:36

I think body parts / medical terms need more naming opportunities.

Thumb

Cardiac

Dermis

Coccyx

@FuckingHateRats Coriander was used in the Archers many many years ago, I think she is well into her thirties now!

For boys

I used to think coriander was a lovely sounding word for a girl's name.

I think pretty much anything goes for names these days as long as it isn’t offensive - just look at the Kardashian children’s names for example
