It wasn't a name for something already?
Such as Chlamydia.

indicative -indie for short
nicorette- nicky or etty
coffee - has the soft f sound and popular ie sound
lawn - unisex but like a cross between Dawn and Lauren

@MrsMoastyToasty "Chaise longue. Sister to Couch (male), Foot-Stool (male) and Sofa (female )."

They have a baby sister called Commode...

You're missing Divan (could be unisex).

I seem to remember a previous thread in this vein where someone dug out a list of names that had actually been registered in France, memorably including Anomalie.

CurlewKate · 25/10/2024 20:45

My mother once suggested Margarine when we were playing this game!

Rubeola and Varicella would be nice twin names. Variola (aka smallpox...) is quite nice too.

Music is a good source: Hemiola, Clef, Clarinet (good strong unisex name, I think), Trill, Fermata, Allegro, or, for the really adventurous, Acciaccatura (Accia or Tura for short).

Really liking Iodine and Lino.

Cassette is actually really pretty! Florette is as well, I'm beginning to think any word that ends in ette is a nice name!

Given Quinn already exists I think Quim could work. My son has a friend called Quinn at nursery and I did a double take the first time he told me.

As a teen, I decided that Antimony and Bismuth would make good names for the female and male protagonists in a fairytale. The faithful elderly maid of Princess Antimony was called Rust.

But also, what about

Acrylic
