- which ones really elevate the sounds you love but maybe you hadn't thought of listing?
- which change the overall vibe of your sibling's name? A more modern or more playful name might perfectly compliment a more traditional name or the other way around.
- if you're worried you haven't nailed you name style - list your top 3 in each gender and see the similarities, if will kick start your naming in a new direction
If you're struggling to agree on a Baby Name - the 'sweet spot' in baby naming hits just outside the Top 150 where the less 'you-nikue' monikers lie or the ones you have to feel really Daring to use. These are my selection from the UK charts, they aren't easy picks but add that sprinkle of flavour that your baby name list may need to get you over into Love not Like!
Happy Baby Name Monday SJ xxx

I hope this reaches someone it helps; all experiences are my own from a grieving sister so please be kind in the comments - this is all about opening up a really vulnerable state which is grief so we don't have to hide it in the shadows. It's bringing our loved ones to life by speaking about them, honouring them in how much we miss them and creating a community where we can share these thoughts and feelings.
Lots of love to you SJ xx

What An Aesthetic This Is - I love searching for names that totally fit the sentimental but unique and quirky vibe of Eclectic Grandpa the biggest trend so far in 2024 - I think these names will stand the test of time but stand out for a baby boy born in 2024 for all the good playful vibes with the gravitas of being vintage gold! What names would you add to this list?

Coming Back From A Rock Bottom feels impossible - but these 5 Unconventional Healing Methods - from all around the world - have helped me so much; I'm actually excited for what happens in 2024.
I'm so passionate about PEMF Healing; I discovered it during my sister's cancer diagnosis and I'm certain we're at the beginning of frequency healing becoming part of our most natural and powerful ways of healing physically and energetically. I'd love for you to have the same positive experience I've had - and for your loved ones too.

HAIR: CARLEY BAYNE - Honestly she's amazing! instagram.com/carleybaynehair/?hl=en-gb
If on one day you could have facial reflexology then be told you're Only moderate risk of cancer & no extra than population risk for the girls - that was my Tuesday :-) And feels like life has been this Healing/Back To Cancer Meetings yoyo for so long. It's exhausting; mentally overloading - but I'm doing so much better than a month ago, doing things for myself & I'm happy with the moderate risk - it just means extra testing & I cried as she said there's no risk for the children - I wish Naomi could have heard that. Naomi is here all around the world now with the amazing collaboration with Betty Bramble - bringing our idea to life means so much more than you can imagine. They will bring you so much joy and hope.
They are also THE COSIEST hoodies you'll ever have- with 4 affirmations that meant so much to me and Naomi. AND BREATHE, ALWAYS & FOREVER, I AM LOVED, I AM ENOUGH.

I'm all for discipline, I'm so happy with the junior school my kids go to as it's a 'rights respecting' school. They have done SO much to encourage my children to love school. But we had a very different experience at our first school and now at Secondary. With absences in the news, mental health in crisis - is it time to talk more about how School Discipline Can Learn From Gentle Parenting?
Let's Chat! I'm totally open for your views and discussion (be kind I'm grieving - totally getting that on a T-shirt but today is a hard one and this hair online isn't helping - ha ha ha!) SJ xxxx

It's no secret I'm grieving but during the past two years my sister and I have been opening up to a lot of spiritual practises that I'm feeling are helping me 'expand' - as they say in the spiritual world! - and basically tap into my own intuition, listen to myself as the answers are within and ultimately to find my soul purpose, and live up to it - as my goal isn't to talk to dead people - my biggest fear! - but to feel truly, deeply fulfilled in my life and understand a deeper sense of purpose and just get to know myself better.

As ALWAYS I've gone off the a-z to find some rare gems - which is your favourite and what names would you add to this list??
