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.

This is MN so I think they should be called Sebastian and ottilie. Bit of a bummer for DD1.

You don't. But you are completely free to stop reading it and/or replying at any point you like.

If you don't mind made up, you could try adding different endings to Angel so: Angelette, Anjelou, Angelise, Angelisa, Angelita, Angeline, Angelia, Angelana, Angeletta.

Robard, Robin, Robson, Roben, Robern, etc etc.

my child is a representation of me

No, they are not.
Your child is a person in their own right. They do not represent you at all.

Sigh. A child is your responsibility to care for yes, but they are not an aspect of your personality or some kind of expression of your ego to be stamped with your non-conformist 'brand'.

特立独行的

There you go, according to Google, that's Maverick in mandarin. Same name, different language.

Hope the input helps Grin

@Actressy well hello again. once again your comment dont have anything to do with anything because yet again ALL parents name their children names they like, they think will fit, after their family, after important things to THEM etc. If you dislike any of the names here stay off of the post. please and thank you.

@GiveMyHeadPeaceffs ahaha funny

ALL parents name their children names they like, they think will fit, after their family, after important things to THEM etc

They also think 'How can I give my baby a name I like, that is meaningful to me/my family, but which will not limit/embarrass/overly define my child as he/she grows to adulthood?' The fact is that you can have no idea what your child will be like as a personality, and the shape their life will take in adulthood -- your approach on this thread suggests that you have confused naming a child with choosing a tattoo.

Poppy Honey

So if Op wanted to call her child Oliver or Jack she might be giving him a dull name that he hates when he turns out to be a rebel. Jack can choose to change it, just as Maverick might.
Call your child a name you love, of course it will reflect, rather than represent, you.
I like Wilder and Angela is Anakela in Hawaii.
