Brother for Nirvana and Jude

263 replies

We are looking for a brother name to go with older sister Nirvana and older brother Jude.
I am in love with both dc’s names,Nirvana was initially named after the band that me and dp both really love but when we looked into the meaning it just settled it for us, and with Jude we got inspiration from the beetle song

these are some names that we like but can’t use:
Hendrix-we didn’t love the nn options and we weren’t quite feeling it
Fender-we loved the connection to Fender amps and guitars but it didn’t feel like a complete name for us
Bowie- dp top choice right now with possible longer name Boden but we already have a Beau in our family who often gets called Bowie
Blues-family don’t feel like it’s a proper name to use
Indie-my top choice and I’m trying to convince dp
Fox-this is my second choice but don’t like the nickname possibly of foxy

We are quite settled on the middle name options either Michael or Beesley after my late grandfather

Fwiw op I do like your dc names I just think that it’s easy to go to far. Poor little voodoo child will get bullied.

You know when you read a thread title, and you think ‘oh yes’, and when it also has lots of posts on it, you know you’re in for an entertaining ride.

That’s this thread.

LovelyDaaling · 07/06/2022 20:07

I feel so sorry for the children.

RestingMurderousFace · 07/06/2022 20:07

Floydthebarber · 07/06/2022 20:10

Rather than Fender, what about Gibson? It is an actual name as well.

BorderlineHappy · 07/06/2022 20:12

@Shedcity has to satire? Rebel and Blu

Honestly some people on here need to remember these are (most likely) real children's names you're taking the piss about, and a real mum in the background. Yes, they're unusual names, no they're not to everyone's tastes including mine, but come on, its easy to be bitchy behind a phone screen. There are thousands of kids with unusual names, in 20 years time there won't be tonnes of Michaels, Richards, Stevens just like we dont see baby Linda/Sharon/Tracy anymore. Names and trends change but there's no need to publicly jump on someone for asking for suggestions. I'm sure everyone could pick apart the names you've all chosen for your kids.. too boring.. too biblical.. twelve of them in a class.. unusual spelling etc. What someone names their child isn't hurting you and if the child hates it that much they'll change it, just be kind for goodness sake.

😂 op already liked blues I felt like blue was a better option.
the kids are already nirvana and Jude, I don’t think blue will stand out much in there! They may not be my choice, but neither are all the Oliver and Mabels I see recommended on this board!

TonyBlairsLover · 07/06/2022 20:21

@tryingtosettle there’s unusual names and just plain ridiculous. It’s not being bitchy to say that it’s the child who has to live their life with that name.

Hutchy16 · 07/06/2022 20:24

Stupid fake post…dailyfail ‘journalist’?

They might be ridiculous to you but not to others, and that's the point. I'd not name a child Blue, but Beyonce did and I imagine plenty since. Same with the other names suggested. There are already posts from people telling the OP they feel sorry for her children and that serves no purpose other than to be bitchy. I just don't think its necessary. People can have/voice an opinion but it doesn't have to be in such a mean way.

Margotshypotheticaldog · 07/06/2022 20:26

Another vote for Jesus, but pronounced
Heeeey- zoos
Which would go nicely with Heeeey Jude 😁

Pinkdelight3 · 07/06/2022 20:26

Never mind* Meatloaf, how about Sören Maltloaf?

*No Nirvana pun intended.

Oldfilmsareshit · 07/06/2022 18:29

This is cringey. It’s your kids names for life not your music preferences that need to be considered. What if they hate indie/ grunge. What if you had been called Disco or Jive or Twist? Don’t lumber them any more….

@Oldfilmsareshit

I keep thinking of a 95-yr-old “Nirvana.” Or a 95 yr-old “Shout” lol.

Pinkdelight3 · 07/06/2022 20:28

Jesus Beesley could work. Or Jeesus Beasley, for the Beetles/Beatles connection.

This. Exactly.

LilyMarshall · 07/06/2022 20:29

I know a Hendrix, a Red and a Blue. Nobody says anything negative about their names. They're just their names.

ChazzaGirl · 07/06/2022 20:30

Showaddywaddy has quite a ring to it 😛

Seriously, I think Blue is a nice name. I also like Joe (Strummer), Eddie (Cochran) and Woody (Guthrie). Don’t be put off by others, OP, it’s your choice so go with what feels right. I always thought that if I’d had children I’d name them after one of my musical heroes.
