Exploring names you love

The wheel includes lyrical and vintage names, such as Charlotte, Isla, Aurora and Maya. Add your own favorites, and spin to see which one you are rooting for.

Names carry meaning, so look up the origin and the common nicknames for any that interest you. Check how it sounds with siblings’ names and the family surname.

A shortlist game

Each partner adds five names, and the wheel picks the order for discussion. Remove names either of you vetoes, and keep going until one remains. Save the wheel in My wheels so you can revisit it.

Meaning, origin and tradition

Many parents look first at where a name comes from. Check the meaning and the language of origin, and see whether it matches what you hope for. Names such as Charlotte, Isla and Aurora have long histories, and a vintage name can feel fresh again after a few generations. Ask relatives whether a name carries a story, good or bad, before you fall in love with it.

Spelling and pronunciation

A child will spend a great deal of time spelling and pronouncing their name for others. A familiar spelling saves effort, while an unusual one makes the name distinctive. Neither is wrong. Write the name as it would appear on a form and say it aloud to a friend who has not heard it, and see whether they say and spell it as you intended.

Surnames and combinations

Say the first and last names together. A first name that ends with the sound that begins the surname can run together, such as a name ending in "n" before a surname starting with "n". Hyphenated or double surnames are easier with a short first name. Try the full name on a school register, a business card and an email address.
