This lesbian couple want you to help name their baby
A lesbian couple are using the power of YouTube to help name their daughter.
Hayley Jude and her wife Simone are looking for inspiration from viewers so their child will end up with a suitable name.
In a video blog, the pair explain their naming journey so far, and share the lengthy list of criteria they’re taking into account ahead of their daughter’s birth.
Hayley explained: ‘One of my favorite names is the name of her ex-girlfriend’s cat. Damnit.
‘Or there’s the name of that person who was kind of a bully in high school. Or a former lover. Or too similar to the name of someone very close to us.’
‘That’s the thing about names — they carry a lot of subjective weight based on when and how (and if) we’ve encountered them.
‘Or whether they’re suddenly at the forefront of popular culture; Dora and Olivia come to mind.
‘There’s also the more aesthetic qualities. The sound of the name, what imagery it conjures.
‘How delightful it is to say, how easy to spell. Does it jive with our last name?’
Now ex-girlfriends’ names, weird friends’ names, and awkward-sounding options all off the table, the pair have drawn up a lengthy list of criteria.
Hayley explained the name has to be more than one syllable, unique but not trendy or too ‘out there’, as well as sounding good with their last name, Jude.
Oh, and it has to sound ‘versatile and pretty and powerful.’
No pressure then.
