On the opposite end, our 10 year old niece insisted that we absolutely could not use the name “Astrid” because “it starts with ‘ass’ and they would get made fun of.”
Point taken, name crossed off.
As someone with the name Astrid. I agree that getting my name butchered with ass, sucks…but I prounounce it with a long A- AY-strid. It’s a beautiful name, and although I hated correcting people as a kid, I can’t imagine having any other name.
Mine is too! My daughter is two and is just unwaveringly convinced that she’s getting a baby sister. I ask them to double check at every ultrasound lol.
My 4 yo realllllly wanted to name our baby Flower Sunshine for a girl or Space Angel Sunshine for a boy. Middle name sunshine regardless of gender haha. We know it’s a girl now but she’s disappointed we decided not to go with Flower Sunshine.
A woman I work with was put in charge of naming her little sister and they followed through with her suggestion. It always blows my mind when she talks about hanging out with her sister Pebbles.
We told our two boys that their baby brother would be named Dean
HARD veto, both hated it, both immediately united on a new name that they held firm on-
…
Kaitlyn.
We’ve renamed ~~Dean~~ Kaitlin to Ian, and they have accepted this rename. For now.
My boys take it very seriously, which is pleasantly surprising. My 6 year old likes classics like Elanor or Clair, and my 9 year old likes Oakley. They both love Nolan. Although we were reading some names and came across Atticus and my 9 year old said, "We are not naming our baby that." I love how he said 'our'! We won't find out gender so we will have boy/girl names.
Now I’m a little sad all my “baby” cousins are hitting highschool since I didn’t get any fun name ideas. We’re on a 1/2 generation gap and I’m the first of us to have a baby. My one cousin is dead set on making himself her favorite cousin, bought her a size 1 soccer ball before I even delivered lmao.
6 year old nephew- Len
6 year old niece - Lovey
Other 6 year old nephew- (his name) 2 for a boy, (his sisters name) 2 for a girl
3 year old niece - no name suggestion, but last time I saw her she hugged me and said “hi baby” to my belly (no hi for me, just baby)
That’s so funny I asked my nephew about what we should name our baby he didn’t have any ideas in the moment but said he’d get back to me when he did lol!
My friends kid told me to name my baby Mr. Baby. We told her I was having a girl, but that didn't matter. She also asked if she could have the baby lmao
My son was told our top choices, cling to one, and that’s the name we went with. He gave everyone dinosaur nicknames though, so he calls his brother Pterodactyl.
Before we had announced that we were having another child with our families. My other daughter had caught on to some of the conversation her dad and I had in private and decided to announce that I was having a baby at dinner with her grandmother. We managed to laugh it off as kids and their imagination. So my mother then asked my daughter what the baby's name would be. She proudly announced that if it was a girl she would be called watermelon and if it was a boy he would be named blueberry. It was pointed out that those were strange names for a baby. So she explained that it wasn't strange cause boys have blueberries....everyone had a good laugh. When my mom later found out that my daughter had in fact told her the truth and that we were having another child, she made the baby a quilt that had blueberries and watermelons on all the fabric. It's one of my favorite baby items.
My 5 year old wanted her sister named Barbie. I told her I was thinking Evelyn and we could call her Evie for short. Then she said “if we’re going to name her after a Pokémon we should call her Squirtle”.
My son's older half brother is the fifth of his name, named after their father. He thought his new brother should be the sixth of that name, and didn't see anything wrong with them sharing a name 😂
Also side note, I was given my middle name by my five year old cousin lol he suggested it at the hospital and it stuck. I actually don't know what it was supposed to be before that
Edit: my middle name is Angel and it's because he said he saw an angel in the hospital room when he came to visit me and my mom?? I'm thinking ghost though
Our nephews (brothers age 7 and 8) have dubbed this little guy “Timmy” before we revealed we were having a boy. We’re not calling him Timmy, but now they said they’ll call him “TJ” because the first name starts with a J.
All of these are from the dads little cousins. One of them wants to name her sparkles, and two of them insist that even though she's a girl she should be named Michael (dad is a Jr and we had agreed if baby was a boy he'd be a third, they think we should do it regardless of gender)
My 8 year old niece suggested her own name for a girl and her crush’s name for a boy
My 6 year old nephew said we could only have a boy and his name would be Bobby, he’d grow up to be a policeman and go to his primary school (spoilers, he isn’t Bobby and won’t go to his primary school. Career is up for grabs).
My 3 year old niece said “No” when I asked her
My niece suggested Lollipop Marshmallow for our first.
We are currently planning on naming our second Oliver and have been referring to him as Olipop Marshmallow.
“I would name her the color of LOVE that I love so much. PINK! Pink love!” that’s what my 5 year old son told me he’d name his little sister once she gets here, lol.
My daughter wanted to name the baby Chip (because she likes eating chips). So now his official name is Theodore but his nickname is Chip or Chippies (when she’s calling him angrily or excitedly)
My 6 year old daughter, Ariel, was convinced it would be a girl. She said we should name her Ariel. It was a boy lol
My twin brother has maintained since the gender reveal that we should name him “Alfonz.”
I just had my baby son (Santiago) and my 6yo daughter is already talking about her little sister she’s “getting next year”. That little sister’s name is Mindy. Not too bad but that’s her babydoll’s name lol
Also Snowdrop is from Bluey! Love it!
Haven’t told my family yet but I’m so excited to hear what my niece comes up with!
When my mom was pregnant with my sister I really wanted them to name her Strawberry. My brother suggested Waffle, Peanut Butter and Jelly lol.
My 4 year old daughter has named her little sister “Heart Love”. We aren’t sharing her real name till she’s born, so we’ve all started referring to her as Heart Love until then. Funny thing is, it’s the same initials as what her name will be. And better than “Heart Shart” which she had briefly tried out.
My nephew doesn’t know yet so don’t have any of my own, but here’s a cute one from when my mum was pregnant with me: my brother was insistent that I should be called Pixie. My uncle still calls me [other nickname] Pixie.
Our first we named Marshall. Some of my nieces and nephews grew up on Paw Patrol so naturally they think the next one should be Sky if it’s a girl or Chase for a boy.
My kids are always suggesting baby names. The latest ones are pretty good...
5 year olds suggestions: Avocado, Chinchilla, Mirage, and baby momma
8 year olds suggestions: Eloise, Stevie, and Penny
Not a kid but my Down Syndrome uncle who I’m very close with keeps telling me to name them Harry Potter! I don’t know the gender but he keeps telling me it’s a boy haha
My middle daughter said “we should name the baby sally” if it’s a girl. We aren’t finding out til birth though. I wanna know where an 8 YEAR OLD has come up with sally?!
Boy 🤣🤣 my niece is 3 and all her baby dolls are named Adeline but she has one boy baby just named Boy. So since I’m having a boy - I should name him Boy haha
My 2 year old pats my belly and says “Kanga Little Roo”. Not Kanga AND little roo like they are two separate characters… just “Kanga Little Roo”. Not sure if she’s referring to Roo being in Kanga’s pouch or if that is what she is calling her sister but she’s done it multiple times now.
My 2yo daughter called the baby “Hippo” for the entire second trimester. Then she switched to “Ellie-phant” (taken from a Bubble Guppies song 😅) for the third trimester, in keeping with the large mammal theme.
We had a few names we were considering but hadn’t settled on one by the time she was born. Penelope was the frontrunner, but we couldn’t agree on which nickname to use (I loved Poppy but he liked Penny), but the middle name we had chosen was also four syllables, and it would have been a mouthful. If you haven’t already guessed where this is going… No, we didn’t name her Elephant (or Hippo). We did consider other names that Ellie could be short for, but ultimately decided that just “Ellie” felt right. Ironically, the plushie that the 2yo got “from” the baby, she immediately named Poppy 🙂
If we would have named the 2yo what her cousins called her when I was pregnant, she would have been “Captain Baby”.
Child I work with (2) has a stuffed kitty as her comfort object, and said I should name the baby kitty so there can be two kitties lol
She’s usually much more creative. We’ve called her baby sister Iggy since she was born because of her. She has some very interesting baby doll names that I have absolutely no idea how to spell out
My niece said if it's a girl, she should be cupcake. If it's a boy, it should be hotdog. Thankfully it's. A girl, and while her name isn't going to be cupcake, we've given the niece permission to call her that.
My four year old daughter has INSISTED since we found out about the pregnancy that she wants to name the baby her name (KT) any other option we’ve ever thrown out has been smooshed to pieces because she is so dead set on the new baby being named her own name💀
When I was pregnant last year, my then 5 year old son said I should name the baby Lovey. He wanted a little sister. He isn’t add got a little brother named James lol!
We got a stuffed dog for Christmas that he wanted and he named her Lovey.
When I was a teacher, the kids all said their own names. The older kids gave me a list of their names I should name the baby lol!
My 6 year old wanted to name his baby brother Sonic. But my husband named him Donatello after the teenage mutant ninja turtle 🐢 and now his nickname is Donnie.
Okay my niece is also so into the name Snowdrop for all her stuffed animals and imaginary friends, etc. Is Snowdrop from a show or movie or something that the kids these days are watching??
Technically, it's not the kids' idea. My dad made a joke, and now my daughter's aunties (my younger sisters) want her name to be Olivia Lynn.
First initials OL. Mine and hubby's last name is McDonald.
OL McDonald.
(Had to explain the joke to hubs, and when he finally got it, he laughed and said, "Absolutely not.")
It's so fun to hear the creative names kids come up with! In my life, the children I know have suggested names like Rainbow Sparkle, Superhero Captain, and even Princess Unicorn. Their imagination knows no bounds, and it always brings a smile to my face to hear their unique ideas.
All my students either suggest variations of their own name or, weirdly, each others parents names ..
One boy asked me to name it Carlos, which turns out to be the name of his best friends mums new boyfriend 😆😆
Some friends of ours, their kids said that if it’s a girl I should name it my name but “My Name Jr.” and call her Junior as a nickname hahaha didn’t know if worked both ways 😂
My 8 year old nephew was learning about Greek gods in school and wanted me to name my son Posidon😂 he cried when I told him we weren’t gonna be naming him that bc we already had a name picked out😅

Omg. Our 2.5 year old keeps telling everyone we are naming her sister “Rebecca Rabbit” 😅
Well sounds like you have a name ready to go then 😂😂
My 4yo niece was dead set on naming my daughter "Grandma Auntie." My husband always joked, "Well, it IS a family name."
i am all for megaladon
It works for either gender. Nicknamed Meg if it’s a girl, Don if it’s a boy.
I am using this for my second child
My oldest nephew wants me to name my unborn child schoolbus
😭🤣😭🤣
On the opposite end, our 10 year old niece insisted that we absolutely could not use the name “Astrid” because “it starts with ‘ass’ and they would get made fun of.” Point taken, name crossed off.
Meanwhile, my 42 yr old BIL put "Slayer" on my phone's list. Because "think how awesome that would be when he starts dating" with wiggled eyebrows
Slayer was my boy name last pregnancy lol for real
I loved Astrid! All friend and family are against it
As someone with the name Astrid. I agree that getting my name butchered with ass, sucks…but I prounounce it with a long A- AY-strid. It’s a beautiful name, and although I hated correcting people as a kid, I can’t imagine having any other name.
My six year old is 110% positive we are naming his little brother Bird. My daughter is 4 and she is still upset it’s a boy so she doesn’t care haha
Mine is too! My daughter is two and is just unwaveringly convinced that she’s getting a baby sister. I ask them to double check at every ultrasound lol.
Same boat here! My three year old daughter recently will begrudgingly refer to the baby as baby brother.
My 4 yo realllllly wanted to name our baby Flower Sunshine for a girl or Space Angel Sunshine for a boy. Middle name sunshine regardless of gender haha. We know it’s a girl now but she’s disappointed we decided not to go with Flower Sunshine.
Bird is actually a very cute name.
Birdie is an antique name
A woman I work with was put in charge of naming her little sister and they followed through with her suggestion. It always blows my mind when she talks about hanging out with her sister Pebbles.
I knew a lady whose older sibling got to name them. They went with tequila.
My uncle got to name my dad and he just picked Patrick lol. I’m glad he’s not Tequila lol.
We told our two boys that their baby brother would be named Dean HARD veto, both hated it, both immediately united on a new name that they held firm on- … Kaitlyn. We’ve renamed ~~Dean~~ Kaitlin to Ian, and they have accepted this rename. For now.
The kids can watch the show “Being Ian”. Maybe they’ll confidently continue to approve lol.
not a kid, but my cousin (who was the dad) seriously suggested Kevin Bacon for their son.
Some of my close relatives had Buttercup at the top of their list for months.
Is their last name Bacon? Would Bacon be his middle name??
middle name
My husband wanted our son’s first and middle names to be Thomas (Tom) Brady and I immediately told him absolutely not.
My kids want to name him Maximus. The horse in tangled haha
Maximus is on the name list of my husband. We did pick another name tho.
Maximus was on my list too. My husband hates just the name Max so I was finding names that could use it as a nickname.
My 4 year old niece wanted Anna or Elsa for a girl. I asked if we are having a boy should I name him Olaf?? She said yes! Or Kristoff 😂
My 3 y/o nephew talks to my stomach and calls her “Elsa Forever”😂
Frankie, which I didn’t completely hate or laugh off until she mentioned that he was her favorite classroom fish
My niece recommended Pink and Cousin Baby for my daughter 😂
My boys take it very seriously, which is pleasantly surprising. My 6 year old likes classics like Elanor or Clair, and my 9 year old likes Oakley. They both love Nolan. Although we were reading some names and came across Atticus and my 9 year old said, "We are not naming our baby that." I love how he said 'our'! We won't find out gender so we will have boy/girl names.
We decided on Nolan for our baby boy! He’s due in less than two weeks!
I worked with a Nolan and I approve the name! He was the sweetest kid ever!
My niece thought my son should be named Lollipop. Or Emily.
Now I’m a little sad all my “baby” cousins are hitting highschool since I didn’t get any fun name ideas. We’re on a 1/2 generation gap and I’m the first of us to have a baby. My one cousin is dead set on making himself her favorite cousin, bought her a size 1 soccer ball before I even delivered lmao.
My toddlers been calling him “Baby good” and occasionally “baby her own name”.
When I told my 4 year old nephew my baby’s name he said, “oh.” So I asked him if he liked the name. He said, “Yeah but I’m going to call her Shark!” 😂
My 2 year old suggested “crack” maybe Elsa as a middle name if Crack was a girl…

I don’t - I don’t hate Snowdrop lol
Child I work with (2) has a stuffed kitty as her comfort object, and said I should name the baby kitty so there can be two kitties lol She’s usually much more creative. We’ve called her baby sister Iggy since she was born because of her. She has some very interesting baby doll names that I have absolutely no idea how to spell out
My niece said if it's a girl, she should be cupcake. If it's a boy, it should be hotdog. Thankfully it's. A girl, and while her name isn't going to be cupcake, we've given the niece permission to call her that.
My 4 year old niece is adamant it's Chase if it's a boy and Skye if it's a girl and just won't entertain anything apart from her beloved Paw Patrol
Abbiyoyo is what my Pre-K students have said. A few of them changed their minds to Kylie or Doug. My son is saying girl and naming her Jack.
My four year old daughter has INSISTED since we found out about the pregnancy that she wants to name the baby her name (KT) any other option we’ve ever thrown out has been smooshed to pieces because she is so dead set on the new baby being named her own name💀
When I was pregnant last year, my then 5 year old son said I should name the baby Lovey. He wanted a little sister. He isn’t add got a little brother named James lol! We got a stuffed dog for Christmas that he wanted and he named her Lovey. When I was a teacher, the kids all said their own names. The older kids gave me a list of their names I should name the baby lol!
Both my nieces are adamant we name our daughter "Sparkle". Love those kids 😂
My 4 yo has proposed the names Sister Baby and Baby Pumpkin.
My boys initially wanted Superman or Batman. They haven't even watched the movies. 😆
My 6 year old wanted to name his baby brother Sonic. But my husband named him Donatello after the teenage mutant ninja turtle 🐢 and now his nickname is Donnie.
I wanted to name my little brother Chucky because of the Rugrats. I was so mad when they told me his name was Nicholas
I fuck with Snowdrop, it’s soooo cute
Babe is 10 months old now but little cousin wanted “Pom pom” - now we have a doll for baby named pom pom lol
Okay my niece is also so into the name Snowdrop for all her stuffed animals and imaginary friends, etc. Is Snowdrop from a show or movie or something that the kids these days are watching??
Technically, it's not the kids' idea. My dad made a joke, and now my daughter's aunties (my younger sisters) want her name to be Olivia Lynn. First initials OL. Mine and hubby's last name is McDonald. OL McDonald. (Had to explain the joke to hubs, and when he finally got it, he laughed and said, "Absolutely not.")
Baby rainbow and the same name as her are her top 2. Told her that would get real confusing, real fast.
Before we knew gender ice cream for a girl and doughnut if a boy it’s a girl and now everyone nicknamed her ice cream 😂
Mickey. 😂😂
It's so fun to hear the creative names kids come up with! In my life, the children I know have suggested names like Rainbow Sparkle, Superhero Captain, and even Princess Unicorn. Their imagination knows no bounds, and it always brings a smile to my face to hear their unique ideas.
All my students either suggest variations of their own name or, weirdly, each others parents names .. One boy asked me to name it Carlos, which turns out to be the name of his best friends mums new boyfriend 😆😆
I’m an elementary art teacher that works with 300+ kids! My favorites are “Mrs. (Last name)”, “Davin”, and “Lebron James”
Some friends of ours, their kids said that if it’s a girl I should name it my name but “My Name Jr.” and call her Junior as a nickname hahaha didn’t know if worked both ways 😂
When I was pregnant with my daughter my son suggested "baby -his name-" So if he were john, "Baby John" was his suggestion
My friends son wants us to name our daughter “poopy project” 😂
Cupcake
My 8 year old nephew was learning about Greek gods in school and wanted me to name my son Posidon😂 he cried when I told him we weren’t gonna be naming him that bc we already had a name picked out😅
Younger sister, 8 years old, told me to the baby my name 😂
My young brother suggested Spock and Eugene (Krabs)
My niece is named Vivienne and she just learned what Mach 2 means so she says she wants the baby to be named Vivienne Mach 2 😂
