Baby name argot

Ever start reading a post on a baby name forum only to become confused by a weird acronym or phrase? No fear, I've compiled a short list of need-to-know baby name argot for the everyday name addict.

BA - Best answer

BNG - Baby name game

CAF - Create a family - basically you use a set of provided instructions to create a 'family'


NMS - Not my style

NMSAA - Not my style at all

BQ - Bonus question - usually completely optional, just helps make it easier to decide BA.

BBNQ - Bonus baby name question

Combo - first and middle name

Double-barrel first/middle/last name - two names make up the first, middle, or last name

FN, LN, MN, NN - First name, last name, middle name, nickname

WDYT - What do you think?

ETA - Edit to add
 
AMP - Answer mine please?
 
GP/GPL  - Guilty pleasure/Guilty pleasure lists. This one means a list of names that you love but would never use on an actual child.
 
Hope this little tidbit helps you in your naming endeavors!
