Video idea: how about a 'celebrity baby names' video? You reacting to some celebrity baby names (maybe babies that have recently been born) or make guesses for babies born soon!
Corona was actually a name before the pandemic. Corona means "crown" in Latin, as well as Italian and Spanish. This was the name of a 2nd-century saint who was martyred with her companion Victor.
@@kellikocha7733 There was a baby called “Aryan Nation” here in the states once and her brother was “Adolph Hitler” their crazy father was a neonazi unfortunately with a baby name meaning “pure” or something it’s a good idea to think of how others might perceive it even if you are being completely innocent with it.
I had my baby boy in June, and called him Lochlann Kenneth and didn’t realise until a few weeks after I named him they Lochlann (lock-linn) sounded similar to lock-down hahaha! Obviously as he grows up and we move past this rubbish moment in time I’m sure it’ll be irrelevant but for me it’ll remind me I gave birth like an absolute warrior, in the comfort of my own home with no medication to my beautiful 9lb baby boy in lockdown! Xxxx
Congratulations! I had my baby Lachlan in August. We call him Lachie (pronounced Lockie). We picked his name before all this but it does make me giggle. You’re right about it reminding us of what was going on when our boys came into this crazy world! Xx
thats my brothers friends name (Lochlaan) and at school on day the mom came in to pick him up and heard some of the teachers joking about his name and calling him lock down. Xx
@@jenslie4 aww congratulations!!! Such a gorgeous name!! Did you have a middle name for him? In a couple of years hopefully by the time they’re at school “lockdown” will be a distant memory, fingers crossed 🤞🏼 xxxx
My daughter was born last week, we called her Roxana. It means dawn or little star. I thought it would be nice to symbolise a fresh start to a hard year. Something nice and bright to come out of a dark and challenging year for us all 💗
I think i saw the final post from the dad that vetoed 'Karen', they found that both grandma's had the middle name Elizabeth which they went with (as of the post) so i think it ended well, with a more timeless name that wont be a meme while she's a baby and doesn't come back to bite her in the future :)
I’m surprised about Locket! I never thought of it as a name before, but I really like it! Spell it like Lockett, Lockette? Super cute! Also I would love for you to do an anime/Studio Ghibli baby name list? (I know a little unorthodox) but I think it would be an unique name list! My friend’s having her 1st baby in March and likes the idea of using an anime name, but also wants something that’s wearable. So I thought you would be the perfect person to come up with a brilliant baby name list!
I've seen parents name their kids names related to being a bright light in a negative time. A coworker had a girl named Haven and a college roommate named her little girl Hope.
I'm having a baby any minute now. Her middle name is Grace after my favorite sister. Also, through this whole pandemic I've been reminding myself and others to give ourselves some Grace during this stressful year. Most recently, yesterday, I reminded a coworker to give herself Grace while dealing with her post covid fatigue. So it means a lot to me.
I’m 18 and single but have a long (and still growing) baby names list for when i have kids! this channel just feeds my addiction of adding names to it😂
I was thinking that "Luce" would be a good name. It is Italian for the word "light." Babies are definitely a light during this trying time. It also sounds like it could be a name for boys or girls. I also think that the name "Victory" is a good option. This is because we are getting through this trying time and I think becoming stronger because of it. I hope you like these names!
I liked the idea of Lumi/Lumia. I think it’s really cute for a girl (also meaning light or snow if Nordic). But then I found out it meant prostitute a long time ago in Spanish 🙃 so make sure you Google names you’ve decided on!!
To me, it's insensitive to the extreme to name your children (or pet) directly after Covid-19. Their name will be triggering to so many who have lost loved ones in the pandemic, or just those who have lived thru this trying time. I would immediately draw negative conclusions about the parents if they told me their child was named Covid or Corona; and as the child grows up, they will forever get a complicated reaction whenever they introduce themselves, so I think it's very unfair to the child as well.
Yes it’s a diversive choice isn’t it / in one way - part of history and lots of babies were named after famous war battles etc. But it does pinpoint you x
Yes I agree! People mourn in different ways, and while some people might think this is a great way to remember our dark times, some people will think this is an unacceptable way to make fun of the victims. My mom knows a guy who was born in Austria and named Adolf. He was born right after the second world war... now, I know Adolf is a common name in some countries, but that was just unnecessary! Names should never provoke!
I would love a list with girl names that are traditional/old fashioned but don’t end with an “a” or an “ee” sound. We like Sigrid and Joan, that sort of vibe! Not too long, not too flowery, or girlie, but still feminine and pretty. Any ideas?
I'd honestly lean away from giving my child a name alluding to this pandemic at this point. I just want it to be over already and not to be reminded of it through my little one. I love the name Cove, but even that name is kind of triggering to me at this point. It's an interesting phenomenon that some people are leaning in to this with their baby names.
Wow Posie has always been my favourite baby name of all time (husband has always hated it) but I love the link to the nursery rhyme and the idea of protection from a plague. It's a lovely meaning that I'd never thought about
Living Rosa on TH-cam just had a baby Dorothy AKA Dottie (their 4th girl)! It is a super sweet name and nickname combo and their other three have great names as well!
On the topic of the name Karen having a bad reputation: Here in Germany it’s the name Kevin for boys. Kevins are stereotypically stupid and/or uneducated and there are quite some jokes about it. It’s not as bad now as it was a couple of years ago but e.g. some of my friends say they wouldn’t date a guy named Kevin just because of the name.
Thanks for the shoutout🥰 I love your videos!! Here’s my full comment from the community tab if anyone wanted it!! .... Amethyst - means jewel but the actual stone is used to relieve stress and dissolve negativity Felicity - happiness Florence - flowering or blooming Maverick - wildly independent Paxton - peaceful settlement Armani - free man Colette - people of victory Felix - happy and prosperous Asa - Hebrew for doctor or healer Vida - Spanish for life Kenji - Japanese for healthy, strong Eloise - hale and healthy Angus - strong Matilda - battle strength Nadia - hope Oz - strength, courage Elio - Spanish for the sun Serenity - peaceful disposition Ember - spark
Yes Darlow made a list! I had never heard it outside of my grandfathers middle name but think it’s so wonderful, glad you like it too SJ! Love love love Locket as well.
I gave birth in March and would watch your channel to cheer myself up during lockdown with a newborn. You seem so positive and optimistic, and your voice is so upbeat. Thanks
My middle name is Belle and my grandmother loved collecting bells (name not related to grammas collection) I wore a necklace with a bell on it for years but ripped it off when I was teased for wearing a cow bell around my neck.. People suck
My youngest was born in June. We named her Selah, which is a Biblical word meaning “stop and reflect”, which was something we had more time to do during self isolation.
I had my baby Lachlan (pronounced Locklin, we call him Lachie) in August! We picked it before all this but it’s so apt for what we were all going through when he came into this crazy world x
This was SUCH a fun video! Loved all these ideas (apart from the hideous first ones - I mean, why would you?!). Posey is an absolute favourite of mine but I don't think we could ever get away with a 'P' name with our surname. Gives unfortunate initials!
I love the name Locket. Freesia is an interesting one. Maybe a list of unusual flower names. Around the time of the 1st world war, people were naming their babies after the battles and then victories. Passchendaele was one and then Armistice. Another list idea is one based on remembrance.
I don't have any human baby names, but the litter of kittens my cat is from was named with lockdown names. A boy kitten named Pandemic, and two girl kittens, Covid and Quarantine. Nicknames Panda, Coco, and Quarrie. Quarrie is mine--I renamed her Hazel because I just can't pronounce Quarrie!
I got chickens in April: Covid and Corona are my Black Australorps and I named a set Florence and Clara in honor of the nurses Clara Barton and Florence Nightingale
Our baby was born in April right at the first peak and it was terrifying and sad because no one was able to meet her for months. Her name is Indigo Belle Ember. We had planned Indigo for years but I do connect it to rainbows and think of that as her wee symbol. Pre-pandemic we had already considered Ember as a forename from one of your videos. In the end we added it as another middle name as she was definitely our little Ember of hope during quite a dark time!
Love the name Osmund! We are due late February 2021 so I’m frantically trying to find that perfect balance between my love for quirky names and my husbands preference for more classical name types. We are having a surprise so recommendations for boy and girl names would be fabulous if you have any that have passed the husband test ☺️. Our favourites are either Astrid, Artemis or Caspian at the moment.
Would anyone else agree that SJ could make any name sound beautiful 🥺 try saying sink or handbag, see if you can make me want to call my first born after the seesaw in the garden😂😭
Our baby #3 is due in six weeks. My four year old has been calling him “Baby Boo” since I told him we were having a baby in the spring. I wanted to use Boo (or similar) somewhere in a middle name but hubby vetoed. I might try again since it means home and ties to this weird time in history!
I look forward to Monday because I love these videos so much! 😄 I have a daughter named Bonnie June and would love to know what you would name a brother/sister sibling!
Incidentally gave my 2019 baby great lock down middle names, lol. She is Verity Abigail Harbour. You covered Harbour, of course, but Abigail is a bible character who took action to save her family and household.
I used to watch so much of your videos. Especially the baby name Monday’s. And now I’m expecting and now I’m looking for baby names. And I thought of your channel
I think that a good alternative to Sanitiser would be "Sanity". It's like a call-back to Charity, it's like a virtue name--but it comes from the same root word as sanitiser, and the root means health. And Sanity is a good thing to speak into the future from now on :)
I got pregnant in August of 2019, and knew right away I wanted to name my baby Cove whether boy or girl. I ended up having a girl and she was born in May 2020, I get asked occasionally if I named her after covid lol Her full name is Cove Willow!
Locket is GORGEOUS 🤩 I have a Magnolia & always buy stuff with magnolias on it! I could definitely do this with Locket as well! Or maybe spell it Lockette to make it more feminine looking! Super cute! 💛💛
If it wasn’t for its . . . more recent and unfortunate association, Corona would be an okay name imo since it just means “crown”. It’s similar to the name Cora too, which is also a nice name.
i notice last night that the ssa baby names list for last year is finally up. wondering if you would cover them. would love to hear your feed back on them.
Unfortunately Osmund is ruined for me after seeing the John Malkovich character in the film, The Portrait of a Lady. I really like the girls name Consuelo, meaning solace or consolation.
I used to look after a- 100 yr old lady called Leta. She didn't know where her name came from but her mother found a piece of jewelry with the name inscribed on it and liked it when she was on a picnic one day.This was Australia. No one had heard of the name.
OMG what a comical list! Very fun. I love Pandora and Beacon (as a middle name). Can you please please please do the Bilingual baby names list (sound good in English and Spanish)? Thank you thank you.
First of all - your hair! Amazing. I love it so much, I'm having hair envy over here. Secondly, I love this list!! Harbour is so beautiful - it has been on my girl's list for a long time. I love Oslo and Oswin, but Osmund is so cute, too!!
@@SJ_Strum I literally can’t wait to name a child but at the same time it scares me! How do I pick one?! Hahaha :) I’ve got a year or so to decide I suppose :)
Actually really loved Locket and Posie for their calls to this situation. Id never name a child "Corona" even tho it does SOUND pretty. But these were really useable fun ideas!
Never even thought about the name Bo during lockdown, despite the fact that I am Swedish. Unfortunately I’m not pregnant, so I don’t have the chance to give my son that name. I have always loved the name Bosse though, even if it’s old-fashioned.
All the Karen’s I know are lovely. My mum is a Karen, my niece’s maternal grandmother is one too and so she naturally got Karen as her middle name. Maybe instead of Karen you could have Carys?
She has hundreds of amazing vids on her channel already, go binge watch them. Also helpful to scroll the comments whilst watching as people give other suggestions of the same genre to whatever the video theme is x
Cove and Cora would be cute alternatives to Covid and Corona.
That is really cute! Hopefully that family considers those as knicknames
I agree
Yes perfect alternative!
that’s a really good idea
Cora just a gorgeous name and I would never have any association with a covid and all this horrible things around!
Am I a child? Yes. Do I watch all of your lists and create my own? YESS.
Same! 😂
Same😭❗️
Name those sims! Lmao
@@OksanaChristie omg yess
Do it!! Ha ha! Thanks for watching hon. Xx
I think this is the first time SJ has completely said no to a name...and that was “sanitiser” 😂😂
Facts 😂😂😂
Right that surprised me lmao
Video idea: how about a 'celebrity baby names' video? You reacting to some celebrity baby names (maybe babies that have recently been born) or make guesses for babies born soon!

Corona was actually a name before the pandemic.
Corona means "crown" in Latin, as well as Italian and Spanish. This was the name of a 2nd-century saint who was martyred with her companion Victor.
There are tons of names that mean “clean” “pure” or “safe” and as long as they aren’t racist they would be better than Sanitizer.
I didn’t know there were racist baby names

Pure itself is a cute name or maybe Pura Or even Cure as a baby name, ooh and maybe Purity

Locket is dreamy! I’ve never made a connection to a name like having a little trinket you could buy them. It’s given me lots of good food for thought!
I really love locket - so romantic x
I think i saw the final post from the dad that vetoed 'Karen', they found that both grandma's had the middle name Elizabeth which they went with (as of the post) so i think it ended well, with a more timeless name that wont be a meme while she's a baby and doesn't come back to bite her in the future :)

Love both of those! I agree light is a great meaning too xxx
I’m thinking Victor or Victoria would be great if you want those more classical names, talking about winning.
Our daughter Lucy was born in August 2020. A bit more classic than Luce, but also meaning light.
I liked the idea of Lumi/Lumia. I think it’s really cute for a girl (also meaning light or snow if Nordic). But then I found out it meant prostitute a long time ago in Spanish 🙃 so make sure you Google names you’ve decided on!!

Yes I love that too! X
My August baby is called Lachlan (pronounced Locklin) ☺️ Chosen before lockdown but I quite like the association

In Austria we call a fart a "Bu" when talking to young children. I'd be like naming your child "Tootsie". 😂

My middle name is Belle and my grandmother loved collecting bells (name not related to grammas collection)
I wore a necklace with a bell on it for years but ripped it off when I was teased for wearing a cow bell around my neck.. People suck
Aww that’s so sad 😞 I hope you can wear it again now. Also, cows are gorgeous creatures anyway 🐮 🔔 🤎

Beau Osmond, Ianthe Freesia, Dorothy Cove

Loved Osmund! I always liked the name Edmund, but I honestly think I might start to like Osmund even more, it's a brilliant name
Me too! I really fell in love with it! X
Our 2020 baby is Albion Davis. Albion is the white cliffs, same idea as Harbor, a stronghold in the storm. Davis is my family name and means beloved.❤
And I love Beacon as a name!
My teacher had a baby in lockdown and called her Ada Juliette. Largely unrelated but I thought it was cute.

I think that a good alternative to Sanitiser would be "Sanity". It's like a call-back to Charity, it's like a virtue name--but it comes from the same root word as sanitiser, and the root means health. And Sanity is a good thing to speak into the future from now on :)
Freesia were my Granny's favourite flower. Beautiful!
I love freesia! but I can't get past it sounding like "Friezia" who's a villain from dragon ball z😂
I got pregnant in August of 2019, and knew right away I wanted to name my baby Cove whether boy or girl. I ended up having a girl and she was born in May 2020, I get asked occasionally if I named her after covid lol
Her full name is Cove Willow!
In Slovakia is LETO summer, so its more optimistic as your description :D
My best friend's nephew is named Leto and he is the sweetest kid! So fun to see his name included.
Thank you for the vid SJ 💛
He could ask his wife to compromise and use the name karina. I had a ceannaire at the Gaeltacht called karina and thought it was so pretty 🥰
Totally random, Coralee would be such a cute name that would fit you.
A coworker of mine named her baby Haven because she was the only bright spot in all of this.
Locket is GORGEOUS 🤩 I have a Magnolia & always buy stuff with magnolias on it! I could definitely do this with Locket as well! Or maybe spell it Lockette to make it more feminine looking! Super cute! 💛💛
If it wasn’t for its . . . more recent and unfortunate association, Corona would be an okay name imo since it just means “crown”. It’s similar to the name Cora too, which is also a nice name.
I love Harbour as In a safe place for ships
i notice last night that the ssa baby names list for last year is finally up. wondering if you would cover them. would love to hear your feed back on them.
Unfortunately Osmund is ruined for me after seeing the John Malkovich character in the film, The Portrait of a Lady.
I really like the girls name Consuelo, meaning solace or consolation.
for anyone who wants to honor a Karen, I think Kara is very similar to still carry the meaning but doesn't have the association at all
Bo is pronounced 'bow' in the Netherlands as well.
Loving Darlow! Nice spin on the ever popular boys name Arlo
It’s really nice isn’t it! New one for me but I loved it! Xx
I always comment Enola on everything
My dad wanted me to use this if mine was another girl 😂
@@jaderose7149 I’m in love with it
I like locket as a middle name.
Video idea: nursery themes with baby names
I didnt know Leto was a goddess, I met a guy named Leto the other day but now that I'm thinking about it it could work for a girl too!
It does doesn’t it! I love reading the god and goddess meanings! X
It does make a good alternative to Lottie! xx
I used to look after a- 100 yr old lady called Leta. She didn't know where her name came from but her mother found a piece of jewelry with the name inscribed on it and liked it when she was on a picnic one day.This was Australia. No one had heard of the name.
OMG what a comical list! Very fun. I love Pandora and Beacon (as a middle name). Can you please please please do the Bilingual baby names list (sound good in English and Spanish)? Thank you thank you.
Another baby name channel suggested KOVYD, and yes, spelt like that too 🦠 😂
Oooh it’s one way to go! Xxx
I'm imagining Covid and Corona have a sister named Malaria.
First of all - your hair! Amazing. I love it so much, I'm having hair envy over here. Secondly, I love this list!! Harbour is so beautiful - it has been on my girl's list for a long time. I love Oslo and Oswin, but Osmund is so cute, too!!
Ahh thank you hon!! It’s amazing for a girls name too - we’ll go crazy when you have a baby and give it ten names 😂🥰🥰🥰🥰
@@SJ_Strum I literally can’t wait to name a child but at the same time it scares me! How do I pick one?! Hahaha :) I’ve got a year or so to decide I suppose :)
Actually really loved Locket and Posie for their calls to this situation. Id never name a child "Corona" even tho it does SOUND pretty. But these were really useable fun ideas!
I like:Ianthe
Lachlan for either a boy or a girl 🌟
Quarantina
Wow you included my weird ones!! Thanks 😂😂😂
a girl i follow named her baby Cove & i LOVE it
Never even thought about the name Bo during lockdown, despite the fact that I am Swedish. Unfortunately I’m not pregnant, so I don’t have the chance to give my son that name. I have always loved the name Bosse though, even if it’s old-fashioned.
I would go with Karena or Maren instead of Karen. Both are arguably much better names and still honor grandma Karen.
Caren
Anna Karenina would be an great option. It’s a literary name and also would pay homage to grandma Karen.
Cora, Carla, Coraline/Caroline, Claire, Clarissa are all better alternatives to Karen.
my wife’s name is karen and i always thought it was such a pretty name. such a shame with the association
All the Karen’s I know are lovely. My mum is a Karen, my niece’s maternal grandmother is one too and so she naturally got Karen as her middle name. Maybe instead of Karen you could have Carys?
Are you going to do more baby's name please because I am pregnant with baby number 3. I am due in February
She has hundreds of amazing vids on her channel already, go binge watch them. Also helpful to scroll the comments whilst watching as people give other suggestions of the same genre to whatever the video theme is x
@@SP-kk5nj oh okay thank you
