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.

You're looking for names that don't exist.

mininionsteve · 21/04/2020 18:43

How about Anjuli?

Ha ha ! The names you mentioned (Robert, Angela) are the names of two of my kids. What a funny coincidence ! As for incorporating them and being unique, my friend Gissele named her son Rangel. I've no bloody idea what it means, but it's a damn pretty name !

If you want angel names what about Gabriel? Or Michael?

thatmustbenigelwiththebrie · 21/04/2020 20:21

Very...niche.

Acaciaqu · 21/04/2020 20:22

@Acaciaqu like Angela but with an ee sound at the end.

BellaVida · 21/04/2020 20:50

I can’t think of anything with the exact same meaning as Maverick, but a few that have the same ‘feel’- Chance, Colt, Wilder, Ryker

Similar thing with Angel names, but some which mean angel and sounds similar are Arella or Aniela. For Robert, I can only think of Bertie For a boy or Bertha and Auberta for a girl.

Evangeline
Robin/Robyn

MikeUniformMike · 21/04/2020 22:25

Chaverick?

Acaciaqu · 21/04/2020 22:27

@MikeUniformMike that doesnt mean nonconformist.

OP posts:
MikeUniformMike · 21/04/2020 22:29

Isn't it Anjali, and has nothing to do with Angela, other than sounding similar. It's a girl's name.

Michaelangelo?
Robertangelo?

Angelbert? Engelbert?

Emmeline

pallisers · 21/04/2020 22:33

Do you want to share your ethnic background? It might help us come up with names.

If I liked the concept of Maverick (as in meaning), I might think about Luther (Martin Luther King Jr), Rosa (Rosa Parks), Emmeline (Pankhurst), Keir (Harding), Oliver (Cromwell - ok just kidding), Blake (William Blake the poet)

MikeUniformMike · 21/04/2020 22:34

I'm not sure that Maverick has a nice meaning.
You could try Wrangler (well he might hang out with a pair of Levis) or Freethinker.

MikeUniformMike · 21/04/2020 22:39

Trebor?
Alegna? - I think it looks quite exotic and could be pronounce Al-ain-ee-a

Acaciaqu · 21/04/2020 22:40

@pallisers When I say Maverick, I am looking for a name that means nonconformist.

Jossina · 21/04/2020 22:41

You do know that you'll end up with the most conformist, conservative child ever, right?

roarfeckingroar · 21/04/2020 22:42

😂this thread really cracked me up

Acaciaqu · 21/04/2020 22:44

@Jossina thats not the point of the name and I highly doubt it.

Rebel? Protest? Anarchy? Freeform? Chaos? Riot? Beatnik? Hippie? Heracles?

roarfeckingroar · 21/04/2020 23:06

Hong?

I know what I want but... Any ideas?
