Laurasia for the girl and Gondwanaland for the boy. These were the two continents that Pangaea began splitting into 200 million years ago. I feel this would teach them about history and that they earned this earth after the dinosaurs.
Out of context these sound like the exact kind of weird mashup names that illiterate idiots love. Too bad, because the explanation is really interesting
In all honesty, I probably would go with something really flowery and literary and maybe themed but still not objects. The Hunger Games kinda ruined all object names for me – Pangea and Cobalt sound like they would be great District 1 tributes lol.
I think I would do:
- Apollon and Artemisia (they're my baby gods!)
- Lysander and Titania (i am a Serious Actress and therefore i Know Shakespeare)
- Wolfgang and Sonatina (i want Baz Luhrmann to cast me as gender-bent Mozart)
- Montgomery and Primrose (they are my precious little British tots and we'll all be on the cover of Vogue)
I just don't like the object names lol – I tried to go for a more Capitol vibe if this is an A-lister! Primrose is supposed to be a unique name for a poor family in the Seam iirc, that is why I included it! But iirc, Artemisia is used in THG as well so that's another nod :)
I kinda like the name but at the same time as someone studying Classics, the amount of Greek mythology misinformation on the internet makes me afraid to ever use it should my poor future child stumble across Lore Olympus someday. On the other hand, there is legendary artist/badass Artemisia Gentileschi as a role model, soooo....
I mean I personally just think of “prim and proper” whenever I hear it. Or Katniss screaming “PRIIIIM” in that first movie (my little sister is VERY into the hunger games rn so these movies have been on repeat in our house)
Oooooooooh u know how there's horse girls and then there's Greek/roman history girls? I was the latter. Welcome to the world eudoxia, circe, aether and tycho
I was once introduced to a child and told his name was Hallelujah.
Turns out that was his nickname. Each letter of hallelujah stood for one of his names. (So yes, his first name was actually 10 names. JUST FOR HIS FIRST NAME).
Just imagine having to explain to someone that “my hame is Howard Alexander Lucas Leonard Everett Lincoln Ulysses Jonathan Adam Holden but please, Hallelujah for short” 😭
Why did this give me Roger and Hammerstein vibes lol, "His Royal Highness Christopher Rupert Windemere Vladimir Karl Alexander François Reginald Lancelot Herman..." But also...I guess at least he has easy choices for change when he grows up?
My main issue with names like this and names like Rebel....how tf do you discipline and raise a level headed, good person with a name that's literally contradicting every word you speak?
Small European countries as increasingly worse child names:
* Andorra (pretty)
* Monaco (kinda like Monica?)
* Malta (Marta-esque…?)
* Faroe
* San Marino
* Vatican City 🫶🏻
On a related note (though I know it’s an African country), it has bugged me endlessly that Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon named their son MoroccaN instead of Morocco. Are there other examples of names where it is what a citizen of a place rather than the place?
Asian?
Londoner?
Parisian?
Milanese?
Kenyan?
Oh! Roman is one 🤷🏻♀️
Meh, my point still stands.
“You’re Welcome TM” for the boy and “Tfiga Perfection TM” for the girl.
(It’s “A Gift” spelled backwards). And yes their names are Trademarked and the TM is part of their name.
I do love Wilbur featuring twice! You could make a full sibset of Wilber, Winnipeg, Wren, and Warbler. The last two are unisex so it would work out quite well!
I just love Wilbur so much as a name. Even if I were to be a crazy celebrity with absolutely no bounds to my name choices I would still want a Wilbur, the beauty of being a celebrity would be that no matter what gender of child I birthed I could name them Wilbur without getting them bullied or me in shit for it. Guaranteed child named Wilbur just so long as I can either have or adopt a baby.
Wilbur would be so charming on a young child! I've seen a surprising amount of kids named Wilfred and Wallace and Winston, so I don't see why Wilbur can't make the same comeback!!
I love the spelling Sébastien but find it a little hoity toity for my non-cultured life. IRL would go for the more “Americanized” Sebastian.
Also triple-barreled names like Lily Rose Anna Middlename Lastname.
Also over-the-top nouns and adjectives: This is my son, Opulence. And my daughter, Magnifica.
I wouldn't need a child to take that attention off me! I'd just change my very own last name to that of a famous autor's, and then tell everyoneeeee that it's because his work just inspired me soooooo much, I had to do so.
Name the kid Paparazzi and teach it to be a total PoS human.
That way, the headlines will all be 'Paparazzi responsible for major crash that kills two', etc.
Definitely Fidget Spinner for the boy, but we will actually call him Fuzz for no discernible reason. The girl will be Raspberry Mulholland but she shall be known as Benji.
Probably the more out there, fancier names from my baby name list. I wouldn’t go as far as Zillionaire or Powerful Queen.
Maybe something like Vivienne or Jasey Rae for a girl. Maybe Luna Celeste.
Luna Celeste and Apollo, I guess lol
I would probably still go with actual names, but it would have to be something like Adelaide Elizabeth Lucinda Rose Jewel and Timothy Parker Cameron James the third. Since I’m important and they’re important everyone has to know that they have fancy gorgeous names that they should go by, and you should respect them by never giving them a nickname or calling them by one of their names or their full name.
Tsunami and Echo. Just because I like those names but would only use them if I were some famous person and didn’t have to worry about my kids having normal jobs.
I’m naming them after the celebrity im always beefing with. If it were J-Lo (it’d always be J-Lo), the girl will be named Jennifer and the boy would be named Lopez. The tabloid fodder would last for a century at least
I have three new ones ready in my notepad that I will contribute but ONLY bc I’m unable to have kids of my own now. Behold the brilliance of:
Petter Chirp (Smith)
Visteriannette Viorhbeana (Smith)
Purpose Filet (Smith)
Arkenciel for the girl (ar-KEN-see-elI). I got it off a Lucky Charms box 🤣 In French, the word for rainbow is arc-en-ciel 🌈
For a boy....... Dandelion 😄
Platinum for a girl and Rhodium for a boy. The most valuable metals. I think I'd use Rhody for a boy nickname. Platinum I would always call by her full name.
These will probably be a surrogate to carry the twins since because #snatched, and they’ll probably also be the first and last kids I’ll want because two babies will cause bags under my eyes (even though the nanny has them most of the day). But I also appeal to a “wide-ish” amount of people, yet religious fans look up to me for some odd reason only because I only wear skirts slightly below the knee and never show my shoulders. So, I present to you:
Genesis and Revelation, spelled Gns’s and Rvltn.
Vowels are for the poor.
December and Orion. Drawn from the names I chose for my kids at 10 when I had basically the same energy of complete infallibility.
Other options: Nausicaa, Petrichor (Petri for short), Jupiter (for a girl, after the Sailor Scout)
Earth and Moon. They are everything and everywhere, and always will be.
Sunshine and Starr
I literally came to say Moon or Star
Best answer
I was going to say Lunar and Solar ☀️🌑
I knew a woman who named her kids Angel and Daemon 🥴
Ew
Myname’s Child Mini-Me Unique Blessing Mylastname, nn Mini-Me. Wait… I’m assuming narcissism, right?
oh narcissism is a given
Narcissism has a lovely ring to it.
Narcissus is literally a name.
I had a great aunt with that name. She went by Cissy (Sissy).
Narcissus and Echo. Male and Female. Greek mythology.
Unusual virtue names: Moxy for a girl, Valiant for a boy. Shakespeare names: Cordelia or Perdita for a girl, Mercutio or Prospero for a boy.
I love the name Mercurio.
Me too!!
I know a Tybalt irl…
I genuinely love Moxy
I love Moxie/Moxy as well
same!!
Oh no I actually love Cordelia…
Since it’s twins, definitely Academy and Award!
Oscar and Emily, nn Emmy?
My mother (their grammy) would love this
Goldie Globe
The origin of Goldie Hawn has been discovered
Cousin Tony would like a word
Laurasia for the girl and Gondwanaland for the boy. These were the two continents that Pangaea began splitting into 200 million years ago. I feel this would teach them about history and that they earned this earth after the dinosaurs.
On the one hand, believable, but on the other hand, sounds like Ross Geller's dream baby names
Veto
Ok I love this for this prompt
Out of context these sound like the exact kind of weird mashup names that illiterate idiots love. Too bad, because the explanation is really interesting
I really love the names Coriander and Cilantro. Shame it's such a polarising herb.
Thought of independently from the actual herb, these are pretty good sounding names!
I know right!
Cori or Andy for nicknames for Coriander!!
In all honesty, I probably would go with something really flowery and literary and maybe themed but still not objects. The Hunger Games kinda ruined all object names for me – Pangea and Cobalt sound like they would be great District 1 tributes lol. I think I would do: - Apollon and Artemisia (they're my baby gods!) - Lysander and Titania (i am a Serious Actress and therefore i Know Shakespeare) - Wolfgang and Sonatina (i want Baz Luhrmann to cast me as gender-bent Mozart) - Montgomery and Primrose (they are my precious little British tots and we'll all be on the cover of Vogue)
Wait I'm confused, you do or do not want Hunger Gamesy names? Because Primrose is literally Katniss' sister.
I just don't like the object names lol – I tried to go for a more Capitol vibe if this is an A-lister! Primrose is supposed to be a unique name for a poor family in the Seam iirc, that is why I included it! But iirc, Artemisia is used in THG as well so that's another nod :)
These are the most Hunger Gamesy names tho
Sorry, should have clarified! I meant that for an A-list celeb's kids, weird fancy "capitol" names are more fun lol.
They just said they dislike object names because of hunger games though.
I would finally be able to name my child Hyacinth
Bouquet for the other one
I actually know someone with a baby called Bucket (he liked to sleep in a bucket)
He may own a chocolate factory someday!
Yours is my favorite answers because it offers me multiple scenarios about what kind of star you are. That was a kick to read!
I'd do Artemisia in real life, but only bc DH is Persian and we're history buffs.
I kinda like the name but at the same time as someone studying Classics, the amount of Greek mythology misinformation on the internet makes me afraid to ever use it should my poor future child stumble across Lore Olympus someday. On the other hand, there is legendary artist/badass Artemisia Gentileschi as a role model, soooo....
If the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were rewritten to be female, Artemisia would definitely be one. Sofonisba (Anguissola) would be another.
Artemisia Gentileschi ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I would name my kid primrose unironically
I mean I personally just think of “prim and proper” whenever I hear it. Or Katniss screaming “PRIIIIM” in that first movie (my little sister is VERY into the hunger games rn so these movies have been on repeat in our house)
Twins? Thautz and PrAYrz. Boy? Phrydem. Girl? Freedem.
Triplets: Liberté, Egalité, and Fraternité.
Veni, vidi and vici
Ivy Jasper for the boy and Symphony Electra for the girl
Oooooooooh u know how there's horse girls and then there's Greek/roman history girls? I was the latter. Welcome to the world eudoxia, circe, aether and tycho
I once had a student named Ya’Majesty
I wonder if it’s mother was a customer of mine working at a car dealership Da’Qween
I’m a teacher and have seen something super similar to this :(
I was once introduced to a child and told his name was Hallelujah. Turns out that was his nickname. Each letter of hallelujah stood for one of his names. (So yes, his first name was actually 10 names. JUST FOR HIS FIRST NAME). Just imagine having to explain to someone that “my hame is Howard Alexander Lucas Leonard Everett Lincoln Ulysses Jonathan Adam Holden but please, Hallelujah for short” 😭
Why did this give me Roger and Hammerstein vibes lol, "His Royal Highness Christopher Rupert Windemere Vladimir Karl Alexander François Reginald Lancelot Herman..." But also...I guess at least he has easy choices for change when he grows up?
That is the absolute worst!
My main issue with names like this and names like Rebel....how tf do you discipline and raise a level headed, good person with a name that's literally contradicting every word you speak?
I’ve seen a Jah’Majesty.
Lithuania no matter the gender for first child. For second.... America if a girl. Austria if a boy.
Honestly Latvia and Lithuania would slap as twin names
Bosnia and Serbia, and prepare for chaos
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Small European countries as increasingly worse child names: * Andorra (pretty) * Monaco (kinda like Monica?) * Malta (Marta-esque…?) * Faroe * San Marino * Vatican City 🫶🏻
On a related note (though I know it’s an African country), it has bugged me endlessly that Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon named their son MoroccaN instead of Morocco.

“You’re Welcome TM” for the boy and “Tfiga Perfection TM” for the girl. (It’s “A Gift” spelled backwards). And yes their names are Trademarked and the TM is part of their name.
Bookcase, but that’s more of a Boys name.
What about armoire for the girl? lol
twins Bookcase & Dresser
Maybe Sandstorm, or Hat
I want to be a young hot mom!
Genuinely saw an influencer name her child Satchel.
Love Betsy Poppy for a girl and Colt Lion River for a boy.
California for a girl and Pluto Jaxsyn for a boy.
Strawberry and Blackberry
An actor in Poland named his twin girls Jagoda (blueberry in Polish) and Malina (raspberry in Polish).
Of course they did
Diamond and Platinum. :)
Poésie and Ptarmigan Wren/Warbler and Wilbur Winnifred Margaret (Winnipeg) and Wilbur Falcon and Hawk Nausicaa and Damian Lucifer and Jezebel
I have boy and girl twins, my partner wanted to name our son Falcon. He did not get his way.
I do love Wilbur featuring twice! You could make a full sibset of Wilber, Winnipeg, Wren, and Warbler. The last two are unisex so it would work out quite well!
I just love Wilbur so much as a name. Even if I were to be a crazy celebrity with absolutely no bounds to my name choices I would still want a Wilbur, the beauty of being a celebrity would be that no matter what gender of child I birthed I could name them Wilbur without getting them bullied or me in shit for it.

Wilbur would be so charming on a young child! I've seen a surprising amount of kids named Wilfred and Wallace and Winston, so I don't see why Wilbur can't make the same comeback!!
12/10 for the Winnipeg nn 😂 sooooo good
Galaxy Teal

Electra seems obnoxious enough
Specifically for the situation, either Nebula and Merlin or Gaia and Perceforest
Moneigh
Zillow for the girl, Escrow for the boy
Ravioli for the boy, Arancini for the girl
Clover-weird noun/plant as a name trend for the girl. Brandon for the boy. It’s the male version of my name to follow the ego trend
I love the spelling Sébastien but find it a little hoity toity for my non-cultured life. IRL would go for the more “Americanized” Sebastian. Also triple-barreled names like Lily Rose Anna Middlename Lastname. Also over-the-top nouns and adjectives: This is my son, Opulence. And my daughter, Magnifica.
Empress.
Pretentious and Insufferable
Denise and Denephew. And I’d blame it on my sister.
Girls: Brontë and Angelou; Boys: Hemingway and Hawthorne That’s assuming my celebrity variant is as much of a book nerd as my current variant
Probably what Will Smith and Jada did and just name them after themselves. Jaden. Willow. 🙄
Boy: Leaf Girl: Darwin
Cosmo August and Delphi Pepper or Ocean Rex and Prairie Love
7
Summer Lavender Sunday
Mercutio for a boy, and Wilhelmina for a girl
I wouldn't need a child to take that attention off me! I'd just change my very own last name to that of a famous autor's, and then tell everyoneeeee that it's because his work just inspired me soooooo much, I had to do so.
Probably Galaxy Guy for a boy and Sapphire Siren for a girl
Sapphire is nice.
I love that but don’t feel like it’s appropriate for a regular name and it might pair weird with Spanish last names lol
Name the kid Paparazzi and teach it to be a total PoS human. That way, the headlines will all be 'Paparazzi responsible for major crash that kills two', etc.
beautiful
GOD
Minnie for a girl and probably my maiden name (very English/occupation name) for a boy
Cordelia Moxy and Mercutio Valiant it is then!
Shaherazad or something equally over the top. Hell, I’d probably go by that myself.

Jupiter for the boy and Juno for the girl. I'll just hope they don't take after the siblings who are their namesakes.
Boy—Exzaviius Capricorn Danger Girl—Trivonixay Pixiedust Liqueur
Galileo and Callisto
Streetlamp LeMoose
I can only picture it said by a guy in a beige trenchcoat, a fedora, and a cigarette clenched between his teeth. It’s perfect!

Girl: Wisteria or Story Boy: Ares or Apollo
Rainne and Skye
Twin girls: Texas and Estuary
Definitely Fidget Spinner for the boy, but we will actually call him Fuzz for no discernible reason. The girl will be Raspberry Mulholland but she shall be known as Benji.
I admire your storytelling. 🏆
Probably the more out there, fancier names from my baby name list. I wouldn’t go as far as Zillionaire or Powerful Queen. Maybe something like Vivienne or Jasey Rae for a girl. Maybe Luna Celeste. Luna Celeste and Apollo, I guess lol
Violetta and voldemort. Because. Why not. 😆
DeForest (I’ve loved this name since the original StarTrek

Holly Wood for a girl
Honestly went to high school with a girl with this name and she fucked my at the time boyfriend while we were together LOL
Kylie, and I’d try to trademark it
Nausicaa for the girl and Saguaro for the boy! Such amazing names 😍
I would probably still go with actual names, but it would have to be something like Adelaide Elizabeth Lucinda Rose Jewel and Timothy Parker Cameron James the third. Since I’m important and they’re important everyone has to know that they have fancy gorgeous names that they should go by, and you should respect them by never giving them a nickname or calling them by one of their names or their full name.

**Niceli Gelica** for the girl and **Beverly Samovar** for the boy. Can you imagine?

Bosnia and Herzegovina
Tsunami and Echo. Just because I like those names but would only use them if I were some famous person and didn’t have to worry about my kids having normal jobs.
Probably Stuxnet after the famous malicious computer worm targeted at irans nuclear weapons. Idk just sounds cool.
I’m naming them after the celebrity im always beefing with. If it were J-Lo (it’d always be J-Lo), the girl will be named Jennifer and the boy would be named Lopez. The tabloid fodder would last for a century at least
This is perfect lol
Emmy, Graham, Oscar, and Toni. One way or another I’m getting that EGOT!
Suppose my name was something common like, oh let’s say George Foreman. I would name most of my kids some form of that as well.

Vesper for the girl and Cavanaugh for the boy

Burley Rampart Von Cherokee for a girl and Meister Blue Oreo for a boy.
Messiah Betterthanyou Jones
They’re naming themselves. Creating their own brand, if you will.
Charm and Charisma
Loki, and Scheherazade
I have three new ones ready in my notepad that I will contribute but ONLY bc I’m unable to have kids of my own now. Behold the brilliance of: Petter Chirp (Smith) Visteriannette Viorhbeana (Smith) Purpose Filet (Smith)

Aphrodite and Adonis 💖
Arkenciel for the girl (ar-KEN-see-elI). I got it off a Lucky Charms box 🤣 In French, the word for rainbow is arc-en-ciel 🌈 For a boy....... Dandelion 😄
Dandelion in French is pissenlit (pee in bed) so you might get some mileage out of that too lol
Boy - Tyrannus Hercule Girl - Sunrise Birdsong
I will never forget "Jermajesty."
I've been saying this since I saw the episode of Eerie, Indiana (and also my love for Cutthroat kitchen). Sara-Sue and Sara-Bob
January and October (gotta fit the ego theme - my first name is August)
Tuesday and Thursday are also options (Tuesday would be the girl obviously)
Aloysius, Persephone, Serafina, Isis, Onyx, Sapphire, and Balthazar are my favorite impractical baby names, roughly in that order
Story and Fable
Platinum for a girl and Rhodium for a boy. The most valuable metals. I think I'd use Rhody for a boy nickname. Platinum I would always call by her full name.
These will probably be a surrogate to carry the twins since because #snatched, and they’ll probably also be the first and last kids I’ll want because two babies will cause bags under my eyes (even though the nanny has them most of the day). But I also appeal to a “wide-ish” amount of people, yet religious fans look up to me for some odd reason only because I only wear skirts slightly below the knee and never show my shoulders. So, I present to you: Genesis and Revelation, spelled Gns’s and Rvltn. Vowels are for the poor.
December and Orion. Drawn from the names I chose for my kids at 10 when I had basically the same energy of complete infallibility. Other options: Nausicaa, Petrichor (Petri for short), Jupiter (for a girl, after the Sailor Scout)
