#these are my two babes: piper & thomas

[basiccortez]

hi!! i have a few name suggestions for the baby series if you’ll allow me—

josh - would honestly gravitate towards something more nature-y i feel like,, even though he is super like Out There with his fashion choices (though, which of the boys Aren’t) i feel like he’d be into something cute that will fit them as a kid then into adulthood/something with good imagery so like maybe marigold, juniper, clementine, lavender or magnolia for a girl and for a boy something like elmore, cosmo, grover or forrest. (bonus points for film reference) also feel like he is such a nickname person not because he can’t remember names but because he likes giving the people he loves cute little names he remembers them by and honestly the mental image of him calling one of his little girls goldie, june/junebug, or maggie is enough to make death’s heart melt.

jake - if the baby is a boy you cannot tell me Jacob Thomas Kiszka (sir) would Not suggest him being named after himself. he is 100% most likely to have his kid named after him and would consistently talk about having “jake 2” running around the whole duration of your pregnancy. jake would want something simple and sweet as a name on paper and then literally never call them that because; like his twin brother, jake is also notorious for giving nicknames. he’d probably like hugo, max, jude, or finn for a boy and for a girl something like isabel, lucy, norah, or may.

sam - would absolutely love to name his daughter after someone he looks up to musically. knowing that his little girl has some badass woman to look up to that she’s named after would make him legitimately so happy. doesn’t matter first or middle name, but joni strikes me as something sam would Really love. or maybe something generally music related like harper, piper, or calliope. for a boy i can’t really pin anything specific down but it would definitely be more eccentric. i can imagine sam bringing up a baby name book and sitting next to you being like “no, babe, you don’t understand it’d be so cool like, “check it, my son: Blade” … why are you laughing” could definitely see him liking something like lennox (or if we’re going back to music theme then lennon), scout, or jasper.

danny - strikes me as a completely traditional guy. he’d consider something more out of the box if his partner liked it or suggested it, but genuinely i think this man is just into something simple, classic, timeless, all of it. if he isn’t carrying down a name like his fathers or grandfather’s name he’d gravitate towards names like theodore, arthur, wyatt, or luke for a boy and for a girl i’m thinking Definitely penelope, eleanor, sofia, or grace.

sorry that’s literally a whole novel, but i really like baby names/etymology so i thought i’d give suggestions! (also yes there are many subtle and less so subtle beatles references throughout this because they’re all into classic rock, you can’t tell me they wouldn’t wanna have a tribute to the biggest band on the planet via their kids)

i read this at like two AM last night and spent the whole night fantasizing about it. ITS TOO CUTE!!!! I bet you didn't except a novel back, but here it is

i had some names picked out cause… i know something y’all don’t… but i am rethinking choices now. so let’s break down my thought process a bit. also feel free to message me so we can talk more about names:)

Josh: i feel the same way about nature-y vibe names for this man. something very simple, but old fashioned. The way I have portrayed Y/N in his scenario is as an artist like him, and I feel like they would be on the same page about names. I looked up names from the early 20’s era all the way to the 60’s-ish. I tried to stay away from music/artist names because i didn’t want to feel like i was copying any writers. I have changed the name like 30 thousand times i had picked out for josh’s baby because i feel like that’s a very josh thing to do. I feel like Josh would be so conflicted on names and be that type of: “when i see them, that’s when i’ll know what to name them”. some names i’ve thought of for a boy are: Henry, Thomas (my personal favorite), Abel, Francis, Oliver. Some names for a girl i’ve thought of are: Olive, Ruth, Etta, Ora, and Clara

Jake: So for Jake I've gone back and forth on names for him. I do agree that he would 100% want to pass on his namesake to his son (hence why TJ is named TJ in A Song Unknown). I feel as though Jake would pick something for his son that is a bit older and kind of makes us go like "huh, not what I was expecting," but also something music based (I feel like out of all the boys, he would do a music reference name) for boys names I was leaning towards: George, Ezra, Wallace, Hendrix (my favorite), Harrison, Arlo, Dylan. For girls though, I can see Jake and Y/N picking out something super strong for a female name. Again with the same theme of the "that's not what I was expecting", it would be something that was unique. For girls names I was thinking of: Maverick, Lennon, Zeppelin, Hendrix (hehe, I said it was my fav), Viola.

Sam: For some reason with Sam, I am stumped when it comes to names. I feel like Sam would pick names that are just like "what? are you on drugs?" (I can't remember if it was this installment of the Baby Series or next week where Sam and Y/N have a conversation about names. . . anyway no spoilers). We know Sammy boy says whatever comes to mind, so I feel like he would say something random and Y/N's like "no." But all jokes aside, I feel like Sam would be very much like his older brothers, choosing something simple, but unique. I feel like for boys, Sam would be more towards the musical side like Jake: Deacon, Cash, Jude, Otis, Stephen. For girls I think Sammy Boy would be wanting the perfect name. I can see Sam, like Josh, fussing over the name. Y/N is definitely going to have to help him out with this one. For some reason, for a girl, I see Sam choosing something very simple, kind of free spirited: Willow, Lily, Celeste, Clementine, Kai

Danny: The way I have portrayed Danny and Y/N's story is one of heartbreak to happiness. They have been through the struggle of infertility, losing a baby, failed IVF, and are finally getting what they’ve fought hard to have. In my mind I have envisioned them picking names that have the same common theme(s). something along the lines of their rainbow baby being an ultimate gift, something strong, something powerful. For a boy, i feel like they would choose something like: Gabriel, Jonah, Arthur, Elliot, Theodore. For a girl, it would be something classic but beautiful: Hope, Grace, Freya, Harriet, Minerva

Relationship status: very very single

Favourite colour: I know it’s not a colour and I’m boring but probably grey :(( otherwise just any autumnal colours and also blue that’s probably my fave and yellow, aaaaaa I can’t chose I’m gay alright I stereotypically like rainbows 🌈 🌈

Lipstick or chapstick: Neither really, I don’t like chapstick but I wear it and I like lipstick and I don’t wear it 😂 I look stupid

Three favourite foods: Ummm aaaaa weird combo but macaroni&cheese, mashed potatoes and ummm probably mozzarella sticks aaaaaa I can’t chose

Last song I listened to: From Now On - the greatest showman soundtrack because since I watched the movie I’ve been obsessed

Top 3 shows: Doctor Who aaaaa, Call the midwife and probably silent witness not sure about that one but I’ll go with it.

Top 3 bands: Honestly I don’t really listen to any regularly but umm, these two girls called Ward Thomas who I love and then a Christian band Rend Collective but other than that I have no clue.

SCRIPT

It was my job in the group to construct a script- speech and content our actors would recite, which ultimately tells the story. A book called ‘Making Short Films’, had an entire chapter dedicated to script work. The key points I noticed were; 

To be both the writer and what the audience expects

Yet, not exactly in the way they expect it

The audience wants to be surprised but not disappointed by obvious

The characters will have to go through a sort change through scenes

Must relate to the age of the character, the time period and genre
