I can only imagine how challenging this milestone is in your grief process SJ, but this video brought such a smile to my face! I LOVE these videos from you!
Thanks so much; it’s only been 4 months since losing Naomi and I still feel super foggy and lost a bit but this is honestly so nice now it’s posted!! I feel so happy to hear from everyone in a normal nice way 😊
Welcome Back! Love you so much and I'm glad you took the plunge and uploaded. A BN list I'd love to see would be Christmas themed names for people having December time babies xxx
Words cannot express how happy I am to see you back again. I know this is a very hard hurdle for you to cross and I’m so proud of you for doing it. I hope you know that these videos bring smiles to so many faces and you are a constant ray of sunshine, so thank you for coming back again, Naomi would be so proud of you. ❤❤❤
Thanks so much Kendall; I have a really happy feeling tonight that she’s proud of me continuing our little baby name corner of the internet. She loved it so much, we always said it was our favourite thing to do and I’m so happy to see people back for it too xxxx
I've followed you from day one (or almost day 1!) And you have helped me name both of my boys. This must've been so challenging for you, you should be so proud of yourself. Your sister would be proud too. Its so lovely to have you back. I'm not pregnant or on the hunt for any specific name but still love watching your videos, I love the names ❤️
Thanks so much Kayleigh; it’s definitely been the worst 4 months of my life so far; but I do know naomi would be devastated it I should say “livid” in her words 😂 had I thrown it all away, I know I love this and will bring her along with me. Thanks so so much for taking the Time to message xxx
My heart goes out to you, SJ. Returning to BNM must be tough but so proud of you for uploading. No pressure to return full swing with a weekly upload. You return if/when/how you are ready. The BNM crew is here to support you ❤ Much love from New Jersey, USA.
Thanks so so much; I can’t believe the motivation I feel hearing from you: I knew she loved this community but hearing it is like her smiling so much xxxxx
It's so lovely to have you back SJ. I can't imagine how tough it has been for you to come back to BNM, but so proud of how brave you are and how you have overcome the hurdles. ❤❤
Finding your new normal is never easy. We have all missed you and glad you are back. I named my second boy while you were spending time with your sister. We decided on Darcy (his big brother is Spencer) You are our favorite RU-vid and we are so glad we will have you back for naming number three ❤
Gooooooo SJ! So so proud of you and so glad your inspiration struck again, that must be such a reassuring feeling that you're meant to do this, which you are! Thank you for filling the world with light and love! ❤️❤️
Ahhh so glad to have you back SJ!! I imagine filming this must have been bittersweet to say the least but we are so happy to have baby name Mondays again 🫶🏻 It definitely brightened up my Monday. From this list my favorites are Jacoby, Ingrid and Agnes. I also wanted to share with you that I had a baby boy back in April and he is named Teodoro Oliver, nickname Teddy. Teodoro is the Spanish version of Theodore and growing up I loved Laurie from Little Women so he’s named after him. And Oliver is not so popular here in Argentina and it is my husband’s favorite boy name. It also has a little harry potter connection because of Oliver Woods, Gryffindor’s quidditch captain. Anyway, I just wanted to share cause I have followed your channel since the very beginning and always dreamed of the moment I got to share my baby name with you 💖
Oh wow! His name is amazing; naomi would definitely approve of teddy! It was her boy name ♥️♥️♥️ Teodoro is so special, huge congrats and please please give him a hug from me xxxx
Welcome back SJ! Naomi will be so proud and her smile will be beaming down on you ❤ I had a baby boy and I named him Franklyn 💗 Now I am here again preparing for my future babies 🤍
I’m so happy baby name videos are back, I’m currently in my 2nd trimester, and beginning to think about names. Thanks for coming back despite your awful loss, it must be hard to make these after losing your lovely sister x
My heart is happy that you’ve made this video. I don’t know how to articulate this properly but I felt so sad that this was something that was lost when Naomi died and I’m so happy that it’s something you’ve been able to do again. She’ll be loving this so much as are all of we to see a smile on your face doing what you love xx
I know she’d be so so happy; she didn’t want me to lose anything more and she was so proud of my baby name channel. It’s still surreal she’s gone; I’ve not really processed it yet but feels so nice now this is up to be a little back to what I love x
i'm so incredibly proud of you SJ, Naomi will be too. i've watched your channel for years now, and your videos and the podcast are like warm hugs - i'm so glad you feel ready to post a new one. you are amazing and so are these names. love you SJ 💗 xx
I’ve been thinking of you, and RU-vid has been suggesting some of your old video z recently. You are in my prayers. I am currently pregnant with identical twin boys, and the naming process for two has been difficult. Good thing I’ve been watching baby name videos for years. Lol 🩵
I have an aunt named Roberta that goes by Bertie. Glad you're back! You helped us name our son and we're pregnant again and trying to come up with a name for baby #2!
Much love seeing you back, SJ ❤ Ah, I got so excited seeing Romilly on this list. My Romilly turns 4 this week. (Her brother Marlowe has you to thank for his name - chosen from a video of yours long before he was even here) xx
Watched for years 🫶🏻 Found out I was pregnant over the weekend and was craving a new video. Went back and watched old ones earlier and then you post this 😯🥰 It’s meant to be..perfect timing. It’s amazing to see you back! x
I can't tell you how excited I am to have these videos back up. I nearly cried! I am so proud of you. I am a little over 6 months pregnant and am desperately trying to decide on an official middle name for our rainbow girl! So excited to hear your ideas on BNMs!! Elowyn Moon - we are really considering Elaine as a middle name but also like some more unusual/striking names
Something so comforting about baby name Mondays! So glad you feel strong enough today to post. I have Talitha Joy and Hezekiah David. Both biblical names, one old testament one new testament 💜
I’m so happy to see your return to baby names! You modeled for us taking time to grieve and recover from loss which was priceless as well. Thank you for sharing yourself and your journey with us on RU-vid. ❤
SJ I'm so happy to have baby name Monday back, I'm really proud of you for bringing it back, it makes me remember Naomi too and the podcast, all the love ❤
It's so lovely to see you back, I hope you're doing well. I wouldn't expect the theme to be my thing but I adore Jacoby. The first time I came across the name was when I met someone called that and I think I freaked him out by how much I went on about loving his name! I also love Darwin, Barnaby and Ingrid.
So so happy you're carrying this on! ❤ I'm pregnant with Baby #4 and have been struggling with name inspiration, and have been re-watching/listening to all the videos and podcasts, and I'm so grateful for some fresh ideas! ❤❤❤
❤ so happy to see you back. And Naomi would be so happy to see you having the strength to post again and all the love in the comments. ❤ some great name choices Jacoby my favourite
I’m so joyed that you feel you can pick up baby name Monday again. I love your videos and have listened to the podcast multiple times. I would have understood never picking up baby names again. Naomi is so missed but her spirit is definitely felt in your videos and post she’ll always live in you and all her loved ones
Love seeing you back with the baby names SJ! Beatrice was the name that immediately popped into my mind as a longer name for Bertie, it might be pushing it, but I think it's cute :) Continuing to send you love and prayers 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️ Great video as always :)
This was such a lovely list! So happy to have you back ❤ My favourite is probably Jarvis, kind of because I love the "character" in Iron Man and the following Marvel movies.
It's so lovely to see you back SJ! I'm rooting for you, and here for all your content! 😍 My boyfriend has been loving Darwin for a while now, I'm sure he'll be happy to hear it was on this list! ❤
@@SJ_Strum it never quite breaks into my very top choices *but* I've been playing around with the idea of Darwin the middle now for awhile and have some combos I'm really loving.
Welcome back SJ, so happy to see you here. I’ve missed these videos and can only imagine how difficult it was to do a video like this in your grief. Sending lots of love, Naomi is no doubt smiling down x
Baby names was my first introduction to you ages ago when I was naming my second baby then I stayed for all the other stuff including getting to know Naomi from the podcast and this channel. Proud of you ❤
Thanks so much for sticking with me these last few months; it’s such a surreal time but this does feel like a slice of normality now I’ve posted. It’s so lovely to hear from you xxx
@@SJ_StrumThank you so much! 🥰 We thought we'd change the spelling to be a bit more Welsh and we love it ❤️ The name meanings clash but I'm not too worried 🙂
My absolute favourite videos🥰 love to watch / listen to these right before bed- they help me to switch off after stressful days! Thank you for filming and uploading again - Naomi would be so proud of you 🩷🩷
Welcome back!! I'm sure it feels different. Take your time with it. I wanted to tell you you're one of my name consulting inspiration and mentors! You were doing this job before anyone else in my head! ❤❤❤
welcome back! I can't imagine how hard it must be to continue baby names stuff without your sister. Im sure she would be proud that you did come back to it. sending lots of prayers to you and your family!.
This was such an emotional moment to see this video come up. Continue to take care of yourself and we so look forward to whatever Monday videos come our way. Supporting you and the fam, always ❤
Love Barnaby and Romilly - similar to my name Anneli (Anna - Lee) that I never hear but I think fits into this list as well. Also Elsbeth instead of Elizabeth and Johan (yo - han) as an alternative to John x
I'm proud of you SJ! Naomi will be so proud of you. Thank you and welcome back. I know these videos need your happy energy to create. Romilly, Darwin, Marta, Meredith, Ezekiel(Zeke), and Barnaby are fantastic. I would use Zackery(zack) and Ezekiel(zeke) as sibling names in a alt universe that I have kids maybe.
so glad you’re back absolutely love your videos. You was all I watched when I was pregnant with my little man and even afterwards. can I imagine it’s been so difficult for you but you will have one happy sister watching over you❤ keep doing what you do. Lots of love 💛💛
Thank you so much for coming back 🫶 Currently due in Janurary with our second girl. First born in 2013 so quite the age gap due to secondary infertility. Our first is Isabella Rose. And as much as I love her name at the time I didn't really know or think about how common or popular it may be so this time going a little more less common (atleast here in NZ). Haven't settled on a name yet, my favourite is Amélie, and tied for 2nd and 3rd is Harlow and Harper. Gorgeous names, no idea on middle names either 😂
Sending lots of love your way. Have enjoyed, your videos and the post cast for a long time. I had my 3rd and final baby in October 2022 Agnes Georgina. Her sisters are Esmae Olivia and Ettie Jemima. Lush to see you back. X
Welcome back! It's so great to hear baby names from you again - my family is thinking of yours! ❤ LOVE Bertie as a girl's name - would love to hear what you would pair as a middle name!
Yay! I am so happy to see you are back! You have a gift and you are so brave to be back. Wishing you so much success and hopefully a renewed sense of joy as you return to this project that so many of us enjoy! ❤️
Not only did you feature my name, you also mentioned my daughters name, my mums name, my dads name and my SIL’s name! As an Ingrid I can wholeheartedly endorse this name!
So glad baby name Mondays are back! They are my absolute favourite and I am due with baby number 2 in Feb. I knew it would be hard for you to come back 💔. But I am so glad you are.
So happy that you are back, 6 wks to go and still no name for our baby boy! So brave of you to come back, thinking of you and your journey. I started watching your videos during lockdown as comfort during the difficult time going through. And now pregnant and actually need a name x
So happy to see you SJ!! How brave you are!! You and Naomi helped me with my dilemma on your podcast and I really enjoyed listening you you both! Thank you for your help! Quinn Alba arrived on Halloween last year and so getting ready for her first birthday. Though Quinn was my second and last baby I will definitely carry on listening and watching! It’s so interesting to hear how it changes over time. My husband warned me about watching so that I didn’t get any ideas about no.3 or have any regrets. I’ve assured him I’m just following along for the enjoyment of names!! 🙄
Excited for this video - lovely to see you as always SJ. Hope you’re all doing ok. I have also developed a baby naming obsession and it makes me want 30 more children so I can use them all 🤣 Had my identical twin boys Remy & Forrest in November and watched all of your videos! xx
Oh wow I love the names SO much - what a great combo! I'm so jealous of identical twin boys - how lush though I'm sure it's been a challenge too,. Please give them a big hug from me xxxxxxxx
Watching this video really lifted my spirits today! :-) I'm obsessed with Otto for a boy (LOVE THAT!) and top of my boy list is actually Bartley (not to be confused with Bentley), an alternative to your Barnaby. xx
