Ideally out of the top 150. Not. Finding out the gender.

Already have an Ezra (wasn’t as popular at the time).

So far, I have

Calliope (Callie)
Juniper
Amara
Rosalina
Melody
Juliet (but fine like Jules)
Malin
Arizona (rogue I know, but I just love it)
Theadora (Thea)
Noelle
Celeste
Meredith

Koa
Cassius
Sonny (love, but too popular)
Rowan (same as above)
Marley
Sullivan (Sully)
Casey
Zander
Ari
Remy

I prefer softer sounding, or unisex boy’s names.

I like all of these names, but none feel like the one!

I know you said you didnt like Rob, but I wouldn't let that put you off, not everyone has their name shortened for a nickname 😊

Surprised by the love for Zander here. I loved it and asked about it here when I was expecting DS and was roundly told not to be ridiculous because it’s a fish 🤷🏻‍♀️

I have always worked in schools, and Rowan seems to be EVERYWHERE at the moment, for both sexes. Likewise Jude (mostly male, but I also know a girl one).

Silverbirchleaf · 17/09/2025 22:12

Robin/Robyn seems to be gaining traction as well.

Thank you!

I like Robin and Robyn, but I don’t like Rob, which puts me off.

The Robyn I know has her name shortened to Bobbie.

@deeahgwitch , which syllable is stressed?
