Suggest a name!

Is there a name that you really, really think deserves to be in this site's database and you can't believe it's been overlooked? Post it here and I'll check it out for the next name update (coming soon). You can also suggest a user-submitted name that you think needs to be moved into the main repository.

For the purposes of this thread let's stick with one suggestion each.

Is it too late to suggest one?

Is it too late to suggest Feodosia / Feodosiya?
Feodosiy is in the database, but the female versions aren't.

The Feodosia spelling is also the name of a city in Ukraine.

Sorry, but it is too late now

I started the update yesterday evening. Generating the name relations takes several hours to complete so there's no going back at this point!

I typically don't include double names unless they have an established history of being used together. Can you (quickly) suggest another?

Thank you everyone! Great suggestions. Those are all interesting names.

Kellen, Kellan and Clementine had in fact already been added to the latest update so they were easy. :)

I'm going to suggest Lady.

It is an English title but it seems the majority of its usage in Latin America.
Even though it has been used since at least the late 19th to early 20th centuries in that part of the world, much of its usage occurs from 1981 onwards.

See Ecuador for example: http://aplicaciones3.ecuadorencifras.gob.ec/VDATOS2-war/paginas/vrad/nom_ape.xhtml

Regarding how the name performed in that country, it jumped in popularity when Diana married Prince Charles in 1981 and again in 1997 and 1998 after her death. Looking through some FamilySearch records from Peru, some of the women with this name after 1981 were given the full name 'Lady Diana' or some variant in her honour.

Simran

It charts in the UK and in Canada. Why not have Simran?

I wouldn't mind seeing the anglicised Graeco-Roman name Diadumenian in the History section. It was, after all, the name of a Roman emperor from the 3rd century AD.

Adner

This name is exceptionally rare, as you can see on this graph of the "beyond the top 1000" data: https://www.behindthename.com/top/beyond.php?name=Adner&gender=&type=sample

It was given to only 6 people in the US in 2006 and 2008, and less than 5 every other year. As such I don't think it belongs in the main database. Can you suggest another?

- Fictionfan86181 (Realisticmindxxx)

11/14/2019, 1:44 PM

Ah, alright. Fair enough. (: No harm done. I guess I'll maybe go with Ridge. That one I know is at least being used. (Within the top 1000 and is steadily rising). It's the only one I can think of that might qualify. If that one isn't good either, I appologize.

Second this

Plus the spelling Kellan

11/14/2019, 2:14 PM

Agreed! I keep completely forgetting that they aren't included into the main database of this site, particularly the spelling of Kellan. /:

I have a nephew named Kellan, brother to Isabelle. It has such a trendy sound.

- Fictionfan86181 (Realisticmindxxx) +2

11/15/2019, 9:29 AM

Yes I agree, it absolutely does. That's mainly why I'm surprised the name isn't at least situated in the main database. But trendy in sound as it is, I actually don't mind it. I think it sounds relatively nice. And Isabelle is such a lovely name! (I personally prefer it over 'Isabella')

I love the sibling set Isabelle and Kellan. Trendy, yes, but not terrible. It's like Amanda and Jason.

Marysia: it's been submitted by someone but the entry is wrong. It's a Polish diminutive of Maria, and it's pronounced ma-RI-sha.

That's pretty! I've also thought similar Marylise was attractive.

I choose this name: Iside.

Unfortunately Isis has become unusable but here in Italy the goddess is named Iside so I hope it will be a good alternative for everyone who likes Isis.
