My sister says when I become a mom someday I will be bad at it because I pick odd names.Are they odd?

Question

(note, I am not pregnant, I can't become pregnant unless I choose to, because I'm a lesbian)


The names I pick are ones like:

Eliora Saffron(f),
Lysander Elliot(m),
Miriam Esther(F),
Saul Albin(m) ,
Molly Symone (F).

Are these odd names?

Answer 1

I personally love your taste in names. They are names that many people will have heard of, they have strong historical precedents, and they are hardly ever used now. (And picking weird names isn't what makes someone a bad mom.)

Eliora Saffron -- This is the only one I don't like. I have never heard Eliora before, and I think the Saffron part is kind of weird. It's cute, but it sounds like a character from a children's book.

Lysander Elliot -- Love this one! I think Lysander is great because it's similar enough to the popular Alexander/Xander to still sound like a usable "American" name, but it's not common at all. I also love the Midsummer Night's Dream reference.

Miriam Esther -- Very pretty. Lovely names and strong female role models.

Saul Albin -- Cool. I have "Alban" on my list of favorite baby names; he was a saint in medieval England. And Saul is a neat alternative to the more common Paul; after all, they were the same person.

Molly Symone -- This is beautiful. I prefer standard spellings, though, so if it were my child I would spell it Molly Simone. Molly is such a cute name and Simone is so elegant.

Answer 2

Princeess Madeline, You can't be a bad mom just by having od choices for baby names. With tha being said, here is my thoughts on the names

Eliora Saffron(f), Saffron, not so much, Ellora for spelling
Lysander Elliot(m), Love Sander and Elliot is my favorite
Miriam Esther(F), I like Miriam, just not paired with Esther
Saul Albin(m) , I do like Saul, Albin different but Okay
Molly Symone (F). Love Molly! Never cared for Symone.

Now the type of names you like are different, but in no means weird or odd. And they will certainly not make you a bad parent, lesbian or not.

Answer 3

They are odd except for Miriam Esther and molly Symone

Answer 4

Why would giving a kid unique names judge your parenting skills? Why would anyone but the mother have the right to pick the child's name? I always loved the name Lysander, beautiful name. Eloria Saffron, man, if I didn't feel bad I would tottally stela that name. Some of the names I have picked out for my future children are: Stormy-Hayden Skylar (Stormy Sky), Atreyu, Aiden Phinias, Pallas, ect. Teh more origional, the more open minded (or pissed off) the child will be. lol I'm hoping mine will like the names, but hey, if they want to change it then it's their decision. I think you'll be a good parent, just treat them with respect, love, and knowlege and nothign can go wrong.

Answer 5

Yes, they are odd but they are still very good names!

I like Lysander Elliot because I love the play Midsummer Night Dream and it's fun to say

I like Molly Symone because Symone is spelled cool

And I like Miriam Esther, too!


Just don't combine mollly Symone and Miriam Esther becuase you will get Molly Esther which sounds like polyester and your kid will get teased.

I like the names!

Answer 6

Nothing wrong with your name choices. I hate the Saffron, but other than that, a good collection. In fact, I had Lysander on my name list (guyfriend said not with his sperm, I don't). Saul and Miriam are used a lot by jewish folks. Molly is cute and I love it. Eliora is pretty whichever way it is pronounced (Elly aura OR El aura -dipthong).

Answer 7

I like Miriam, and Lysander. Although I would probably switch Lysander and Elliot around. They're not really odd except for Eliora.

Answer 8

i like Molly Symone

& Lysander Elliott

Answer 9

Just because you pick different names doesn't mean you will be a bad mom. It doesn't matter what others think as long as you like them. Just remember your children will be the ones who have to live with the name and be pick on if they are too out there. I like the fact you are using some of the older names.

Answer 10

My Son is named Saul, everyone loves the name now and he really suits the name nobody had ever heard of it before when I picked it but it is a really beautiful name and it means asked for or wished for I think your names are beautiful and very unique to X have a great new year and hope you do have a Saul one day X
