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…)

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I think Onomatopoeia sounds like a beautiful name for a girl.

Glockenspiel

@LunaLemon , Caramel and Caramac would make great twin names, Mel n Mac.
My first thought was Serendipity. Quite like Kaleidoscope.
Navy is used I think. There was a thread not long ago, someone's friend had named their baby Navy.
I prefer Blue.
Red is good too.

It's like when you hear of children named after cities, countries etc .....Brooklyn, Adelaide, India, Devon and so on.

Why not Slough, Bangor, Dulwich, Bolsover or Knutsford?

You could even please those who like a hyphenated first names with ones like Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Moreton-in-Marsh.

Some come with a natural middle name too, they just flow off the tongue .... Shepton Mallet, Cleobury Mortimer or Newton Abbot

Gilet
smock
brassiere
pataloon

echo

if you can have Aria how about ballad

ErrolTheDragon · 05/08/2022 23:25

Following an idea on a mispronunciation thread, Aspartame pronounced as if it was Greek like hyperbole. Well, and Hyperbole too.

warriorathena · 05/08/2022 23:39

Rosacea

I used to travel on a train line that had Anerley and Brockley which would be good girl and boy names. Also Norwood. Penge I was less keen on

Newcastle-under-Lyme is clearly a lovely name. 🤣

what about Milngavie? He (I assume he) can spend his life correcting mispronunciations and spelling his name out to people.

Calibrachoa · 06/08/2022 16:51

Also Thornton Heath
