Totally random words that would make nice names

I’m sure this has been done before but I was just thinking about how Alchemy sounds really nice. Al for short, obviously.

For boys:
Alchemy
Currant
Errand
Filo
Shiver
Spending
Toboggan

For girls:
Anklet
Celery
Evil
Lightly
Maybe
Navy
Whimsy

Might work for both:
Ample
Denim
Frankly

What other random words sound like they’d make nice names if only they’d catch on? Obviously light-hearted and not actually suggesting anyone uses them (although…)

Rug
Block

Block was a bad guy in one of Enid Blyton's books. Although maybe it was his surname!

I've taught a Denim.

I used to think coriander was a lovely sounding word for a girl's name.

For some reason I'm thinking body parts / features / medical conditions.

I have always liked the name Cemetery for a girl! 🤣

viques · 31/07/2022 12:36

I think body parts / medical terms need more naming opportunities.

Thumb

Cardiac

Dermis

Coccyx

@FuckingHateRats Coriander was used in the Archers many many years ago, I think she is well into her thirties now!
