Such cute names! Just a heads up on the Irish name Aiofe, it is meant to be pronounced ee-fuh. We didn't learn the correct pronunciation until a little later and had already fallen in love with pronouncing it A-fuh (like ava but an f sound). Our daughter is now Aefe 🥰 Congratulations and best of luck these last couple of months!

My first baby is 5mo and you have helped me soooo much becoming a mother. I love you and recommend you to all my new mom friends. I love how real you are. You helped me feel comfortable cosleeping and it’s the most beautiful gift ever.

You have really good taste in names! Naming a person is so hard. We just had our third, and I was tempted to let my toddler pick the name because it's just so much pressure 😂

@kimbystone 16 дней назад

Good points Shayla. Yeah, we as parents should consider far more than whether we just like or love the name. That's your child's name for life. Don't make them hate it or be embarrassed. 😅

So true! The meeting is really important to me for my kids names too.

Shayla, I am such a fan of your content. You’ve inspired me so much in motherhood with 2 kids under 2 right now. This is my first comment! I’ve never thought of the syllable rule, but it makes so much sense! I have a feeling you’re having a son, so I can’t wait for your baby announcement!! God bless!!

My husband and I have a two month old daughter. Choosing her name felt like a part-time job. Very difficult! After seeing her face, the only name that fit was Aria Brooke. We love it! (Pronounced Are-ee-uh) As in a solo in an opera. 👶🏼🥰💖

@ashtonp3151 8 дней назад

I hardly ever run into women close to my age named Ashton, so I think it’s a pretty cool name 😎 Very cute name list! I totally agree with the syllable thing for names, that was a factor in naming our boy Seamus Wilder (one syllable last name). I also like thinking about nicknames and he also goes by Shay (love it 🩵). I’ve heard so many people say that you can’t know your baby’s name until their born and it’s “fits” them, but we only went to the hospital with one standout name among the rest for a boy and there was no way he could be anything else 😂 and it does fit him perfectly, I get compliments all the time on his cool name ☺️

My kids are named Harrison Edward, Vera Kate & Ruby Sue. My husband and I both like antiquated names, so those are what we went with naming our 3. One of their names either first or middle is after a family member.

@Brianna7104 16 дней назад

I almost named my daughter Romy too! How funny! Although we chose not to use that name because we both forgot what it was on occasion. We’d say “what was that girl name we really liked?” And took it as a sign that other people might have trouble remembering it. But I still really like it. We went with Marlowe instead. But yes I totally agree with waiting until the baby is born to decide for sure on a name! You just never know what vibe they will give haha

@BlueMoon3l3b 16 дней назад

I’m a name consultant on the side and even I broke some of the name “rules” (the names were all 2 syllables) because I was honoring my late father David with the middle name and we couldn’t agree on a first name that wasn’t 2 syllables. I’m pregnant again and I’m adding one more “rule” for this baby. No uncommon names that sound like common names. My son’s name is rare, Eisen, pronounced like i-zen. I didn’t anticipate people thinking we were saying Isaac or Ivan. I like the name Lowen, but it sounds way too much like the more popular Owen. Just curious, with Aliya, do people ever think it’s Leah? Like you’re saying “uh, Leah”? Because a lot of people say “uh” before answering a question (“what’s your name?”). I like a lot of A- names like the name Amaya but I’m worried people will think it’s just Maya because “uh, Maya.”
