♂️♀️👶If you were to have a child, what name would you give them?

I've thought about this for quite a while in the past, but one of my potential choices would be: Girl: Maya
Boy: Phoenix (Virtual cookie if anyone can figure out the connection. HINT: Video game.)

Tbh it changes a lot, and I always imagine I'm having daughters. So I haven't really thought about son names - but current favourites are Celica, Cassie, Evie

I know it will harm for life when you get a name that you feel is totally wrong. So I will minimise risk and give my child three names, so it can later on chose the best fitting one and least ugly one. Like e.g. Emma, Charlotte, Helena. These include possible abbreviations like Lena and Charly or Emmie. So six to chose from. Same applies for a boy. When my child seems to be a violent Nag it will be called Naga ( the snake goddess ) lol.

I just looked up the top names for 2022 in the UK: Lily and Muhammad. So neither of those. Although I do love the name Lilly (with double L), I always think of a classroom where the teacher says, “Lilly?” and four kids turn around and say, “Yes?”

Alexander or James (the latter gets incredibly good with a Spanish pronunciation)

I prefer shorter names for reasons - for a boy something basic like Jack or Max, for a girl I'm thinking something like Eva/Ava or maybe Lily or some such... I'm pretty flexible, but I do kind have to feel a vibe or an energy about it, like I would never fully commit to the idea a person's name until the person is conceived and on the way, I need a vibe to be established
