If You Picked Out A Baby Name That You Can’t Use Anymore Because One Of Your Loved Ones Has, She’s Got A Strategy To Help You Pick A Similar Name That You Will Love
If you’re a parent or aspire to be one someday, you might’ve had this problem. Let’s say you’ve had a list of a handful of baby names you’ve always loved and would want to name your future child.
Then, out of the blue, a close friend or family member uses that name for their child, and you feel like you can’t use that name anymore.
When this happens, it can be a total bummer, and you feel like you need to find alternative names for your future baby.
Thankfully, a TikTok user is helping parents find a name for their baby that has a vibe or energy similar to the one they can’t use anymore.
A woman named Jenn (@nomdebloomnaming) is a TikTok content creator and the owner of Nom de Bloom, a baby naming consulting business. Jenn offers a variety of different kinds of consultations for expecting parents, where she helps them figure out the perfect name for their child.
“Whether it’s just a simple list of names or something more in-depth and personal, Nom de Bloom will curate it in a thoughtful and beautiful manner,” is written on her website.
On Nom de Bloom’s TikTok page, Jenn started a series called “If/Then,” where she takes an example of a name and lists alternative names that parents can use. Jenn also gives an in-depth analysis of why the names all fit under the same category.
For instance, Jenn recently used the name Margot in her “If/Then” series.
“If you’re going for a name like Margot, there’s part of you that likes a classic, preppy, elegant name, but you’re also interested in something very feminine, romantic, sophisticated [and] a little bit out of the box,” says Jenn in her video.
Jenn also mentions that part of the intrigue of using the name Margot in America is because it’s a foreign, French name.

“It has this illustrious elegance to it, and I think if you’re open to it, you can find a really cool, unique, sophisticated, romantic, feminine, but maybe also ‘works in America’ kind of alternative,” adds Jenn.
Some alternative names Jenn found for Margot include Vera, Matilda, Camille, Simone, Meera, Sabine, and Nadine. Also on Jenn’s list is Beatrice, which she points out is a name that’s underrated in America but often used in Europe.
Jenn has analyzed a variety of names and is even taking requests on TikTok for which ones to include in her “If/Then” series. So if you feel like you can’t use what used to be your #1 baby name choice, leave a comment for Jenn!
