What inspired your baby name choice?

What's your Little One's name/name to be? Did you hear it on a TV programme? Film? Family member? Google search? Mumsnet? Tell me your story!

I don't actually remember where we got the ideas of the names for our twins. We just loved those names?
The middle name for one of the twins is the romanized name of a well known philosopher.

Were we to have a girl in the future then her middle name would be after my grandmother

My second daughter was named after a storm I laboured through...

DS has an unusual Welsh name that's part of the name of a tiny little village where I went camping as a child. I remember stashing it away as a potential name at the age of 11. Roll on a couple of decades and DH, who's a university lecturer and deals with 200-plus students a year, vetoed every name I suggested because he'd taught a smelly one or a lazy one or a rude one or a posh one, until I dragged this one name out of the archives and he (a) had never encountered it before and (b) really liked it.

I got my name because I was born right near Christmas.
CAN YOU GUESS IT ????
lmao

My kids were just names I liked and went well with their last name so quite random! Xx

DD1 is my only singleton and she will be four in May. My aunt passed before my siblings and I were born, and I was the first to have children out of my siblings, so I honoured my aunt and named my daughter after her.
DD2 and DD3 are my twins, three in January. DD2 is named after my mother and DD3 is named after a historical warrior who my younger brother and I really admire and love to read about. DD2 has her own nickname so her and my mother don't get confused at family gatherings
DS1, DS2 and DD4, my triplets, were born in September and were named by their big sisters. DS1 is named after my father and my DS2 is named after my older brother, but both have also been given their own nicknames so it isn't confusing when around the family. DD4, I don't actually know where the girls heard her name as they haven't ever met anyone with the same name, but it's a gorgeous name and she suits it so much. I love their names and I'd love to have more children but I think six is enough for now, especially while they're all so young and close together

I fancied Noah and his brother Jude in Home and Away about 20 years ago. Thought their names were so cool, so they were quietly on the “maybe one day I’ll call my son this” list.

Many years later... Customer at works approximately 4 year old boy announces (Glasgow accent - this is important) “I’m Noah McDonald! and my maws no a McDonald either coz dad won’t marry her”

I’ve got a Jude. Accent is important!
