So Nameberry is doing its 2016 invent a baby name contest and I thought it might be fun to share some invented names here and get some feedback on whether or not you like or dislike these names and would actually consider using some of these made up names or not. So share your most creative made-up names and give feedback on others! The categories that nameberry recognizes are as follows:
–Combine two (or more) existing names.
–Turn a word into a name.
–Or, just start with a blank sheet of paper and dazzle us!
–Extra credit for creative (or amusing) meanings and descriptions.
