A CoJ reader named Apple requested a query that I can’t cease occupied with…
“Can Cup of Jo PLEASE write one other child title publish?? I do know Jo is perhaps not within the child title zone, however there are such a lot of readers who would recognize an opportunity to get title concepts from different readers — myself included!”
*Nicely*, I, too, have been hanging within the child title division as a result of coming this October, my husband Max and I will probably be welcoming our third child, a candy little lady! We’re so excited, and today all we discuss is who we predict our new little nugget will resemble, how Emiliano goes to regulate to being an enormous brother, and what we predict Ella will say the primary time she meets her little sister (right here’s a video of the primary time she met Emiliano).
However the matter that that retains us up late speaking in mattress? The infant’s title. We’ve been racking our brains attempting to provide you with a reputation that matches, and, you guys, we’re struggling!
Again with our first child, Ella
We had strong plans once we named Ella and Emiliano. As quickly as we noticed the double traces on our being pregnant take a look at for the primary time, each Max and I agreed that if the intercourse was feminine, I might select the title since I already had three names I adored (Ella, Ilana, and Remy). If it was a boy, Max would get to decide on the title. Since I ended up getting title rights with Ella, we made a pact that if we had a second child, Max would get dibs on the primary title. He all the time knew that he wished to call a son Emiliano, a spin-off of his full title — Maximiliano. So, throughout my second being pregnant, Max appeared over at me with the most important grin after we opened our physician’s e-mail and skim “presence of a Y chromosome predicts a male fetus.”
This time round, although, we’re attempting to determine on a reputation collectively. For inspiration, I’ve been clocking each girl’s title that I hear on TV, learn in books, and see on Instagram. We additionally appeared on the U.S. Social Safety’s 2023 checklist of hottest names. The highest 10 names for ladies have been:
– Olivia
– Emma
– Charlotte
– Amelia
– Sophia
– Mia
– Isabella
– Ava
– Evelyn
– Luna
The highest 10 names for boys have been:
– Liam
– Noah
– Oliver
– James
– Elijah
– Mateo
– Theodore
– Henry
– Lucas
– William
We nonetheless have 5 months to brainstorm, however to this point we love the names Aaliyah (after the singer) and Margot (brief and candy). I’ve additionally favored the title Joaquin for a boy, as a result of it sounds so robust.
Now I’d actually like to know: what child names are you into today? Would you title your child after a relative or place? Or what a couple of fictional character? I wish to know!
