You’re at the drugstore, stocking up on bottles of sunscreen for the summer. You’re also chatting with a friendly pregnant lady in the same aisle. You ask her how the baby name search is going and she says:
Our baby girl is due the first week of July. We like unique non-unisex names: our daughter’s name is Ryelle and our sons’ names are Jasper and Zander.
“Do you have any suggestions?”
You’re a name-lover, and you could potentially give her dozens of suggestions on the spot. But you don’t want to overwhelm her, so you decide to stick to five helpful ideas.
But here’s the fun part: Instead of blurting out the first five names you come up with (which is what you’d be forced to do in real life) you get to press a magical “pause” button, brainstorm for a bit, and then “unpause” the scenario to offer her the best five names you can think of.
Here are a few things to keep in mind as you brainstorm:
- Be independent. Decide on your five names before looking at anyone else’s five names.
- Be sincere. Would you honestly suggest these particular baby names out loud to a stranger at the drugstore?
- Five names only! All names beyond the first five in your comment will be either deleted or replaced with nonsense words.
Finally, here’s the request again:
Our baby girl is due the first week of July. We like unique non-unisex names: our daughter’s name is Ryelle and our sons’ names are Jasper and Zander.
