Hello everyone, I found out on Monday I am pregnant. I am really happy + have already started to look at/discuss baby names. I would appreciate other peoples opinions on the ones I do like, I prefer unique names rather than over used ones.
Girls: Sistine Fleurette Long, Starlette Maybel Long.
Other girls names I like: Dita, Saskia & Ettie.
Boys names: Channing, Kaylum, Jovi, Elino, Guy, Bruno + Barney.

I am open to other suggestions & what names look good together with the surname Long.

Thanks.

Congrats! I too like more uncommon names. With the surname Long though, some combos sounds like drag queen/comic stage names: Starlette Long, Dita Long, Guy Long (Long Guy)!
I know a Jovi, but its a girl.
Maybel- I'd assume you didn't know how to spell Mabel, which is a nice name
Ettie and Saskia are ok too. I know an Etta.
Barney (Rubble and dinosaur spring to mind)- what about Barnaby instead
Kaylum- just doesnt look right. Prefer Callum or Caleb like someone else said

Can you clarify if you're having a baby or a Chihuahua?

Only ones I like are Saskia and Ettie.

Mabel and Ettie are nice
Don't like any of your boys names sorry, maybe Barney at a push

Sistine - Awful
Fleurette - Not as bad but not great. How about just Fleur? Or Blair?
Starlette - Really not good considering starlet is a word
Maybel - Mabel is gorgeous but this spelling is unnecessary
Dita - Not a huge fan
Saskia - Better than the others but not my personal fav
Ettie - Cute but perhaps a full name would be better? Esther perhaps?

Channing - Channing Tatum is what I think
Kaylum - No. Caleb is nice or Callum
Jovi - It's okay
Elino - Not too bad I guess but not great
Guy - I dislike
Bruno and Barney - They are fine names but Barney is a little like a dog's name

You can have a unique name but it still does have to be a name!

Saskia, Guy and Bruno are nice.

The rest are dreadful

You know your kid is stuck with their name for life, right?
