I’m expecting my first child next summer and would like some opinions on some early favorite names. Our last name starts with an “L” and has 2 syllables
Boys - the MN is going to be [name]Eugene[/name]. It’s my SO’s MN after his grandfather
[name]Bennett[/name] [name]Eugene[/name]
[name]Waylon[/name] [name]Eugene[/name]
[name]Samson[/name] [name]Eugene[/name]
[name]Donovan[/name] [name]Eugene[/name]
[name]Bronson[/name] [name]Eugene[/name]
[name]Francesca[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] is lovely and my favourite. I don’t see the appeal of [name]Rosalind[/name], sorry. [name]Gemma[/name] is very dated here in the UK but [name]Penelope[/name] is beautiful. Would you consider [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Faye[/name]? I like that one. [name]Elodie[/name] [name]Olivia[/name] is very vowel heavy and with your last name it will be very L heavy too so it’s not my favourite. [name]Elodie[/name] is gorgeous though, maybe [name]Elodie[/name] [name]Faye[/name]?
[name]Samson[/name] [name]Eugene[/name] is by far my favourite! I can’t imagine [name]Waylon[/name] being used, I only think of The Simpsons. [name]Donovan[/name] and [name]Bronson[/name] are just OK but very last namey. [name]Bennett[/name] is cute but [name]Samson[/name] [name]Eugene[/name] is better.
[name]Rosalind[/name] [name]Faye[/name] and [name]Francesca[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] are so gorgeous! Of your boy’s names, I really like [name]Bennett[/name] [name]Eugene[/name] and [name]Samson[/name] [name]Eugene[/name].
Really love [name]Francesca[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] & [name]Rosalind[/name] [name]Faye[/name]! Out of your boy names I think [name]Bennett[/name] [name]Eugene[/name] is nice. I love the suggestion of [name]Dexter[/name], [name]Felix[/name], & [name]Caspar[/name]!
[name]Rosalind[/name] [name]Faye[/name] is gorgeous. Does it sound ok with your “L” surname? Next is [name]Francesca[/name] [name]Blythe[/name]. You do like names with l’s in them, don’t you? For the boys, I like [name]Bennett[/name], [name]Samson[/name] and [name]Donovan[/name] with the mn [name]Eugene[/name]. Perhaps a one or three-syllable boys name would be best to avoid the 2-2-2 syllable pattern.
[name]Gemma[/name] [name]Penelope[/name] - Beautiful. My favorite from your list.
[name]Francesca[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] - I love [name]Francesca[/name].
[name]Elodie[/name] [name]Olivia[/name] - [name]Both[/name] are pretty names but I think it is too ‘L’ heavy.
[name]Rosalind[/name] [name]Faye[/name] - pretty
Have you considered using a grandmothers name or another relative’s name in the middle spot like you are doing with your boy’s name?
For boys, my favorites are [name]Bennett[/name] [name]Eugene[/name] and [name]Samson[/name] [name]Eugene[/name]. [name]Donovan[/name] [name]Eugene[/name] is nice too. [name]Waylon[/name] & [name]Bronson[/name] are nms.
[name]Gemma[/name] [name]Penelope[/name] – This is very pretty! [name]Gemma[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] and [name]Gemma[/name] [name]Faye[/name] would also be beautiful.
[name]Francesca[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] – This is also a great combo! So pretty.
[name]Elodie[/name] [name]Olivia[/name] (too many L’s?) – This combo is too alliterative for me, not including your last name.
[name]Rosalind[/name] [name]Faye[/name] – Neither one of these names appeals to me.
Boys - the MN is going to be [name]Eugene[/name]. It’s my SO’s MN after his grandfather
[name]Bennett[/name] [name]Eugene[/name] – I love [name]Bennett[/name]. It sounds very distinguished and classic without being common and [name]Ben[/name] is a great nn option.
[name]Waylon[/name] [name]Eugene[/name] – [name]Waylon[/name] doesn’t appeal to me.
[name]Samson[/name] [name]Eugene[/name] – [name]Samson[/name] is nice – very strong-sounding.
[name]Donovan[/name] [name]Eugene[/name] – I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Donovan[/name]! I just find it very rare and handsome.
[name]Bronson[/name] [name]Eugene[/name] --Another great name!
[name]Bennett[/name] [name]Eugene[/name] is very handsome.
[name]Francesca[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] is an unexpected combo which is quite feminine.
I also like [name]Rosalind[/name] [name]Faye[/name]. [name]Rosalie[/name], [name]Rosaline[/name] and [name]Rose[/name] are beautiful options as well.
I’m a huge fan of [name]Elodie[/name] (we used it as a middle), but the flow isn’t great with an “L” last name (same as ours as well). I agree that [name]Elodie[/name] [name]Faye[/name] is more grounded than [name]Elodie[/name] [name]Olivia[/name].
[name]Gemma[/name] [name]Penelope[/name] and [name]Francesca[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] are both very nice pairings. Very feminine and somewhat unexpected.
[name]Bennett[/name] [name]Eugene[/name] or [name]Donovan[/name] [name]Eugene[/name] would be my favorites of your boy choices. Good luck! =]
For the boys, I like [name]Bennett[/name], [name]Samson[/name] and [name]Donovan[/name] with the mn [name]Eugene[/name]. Perhaps a one or three-syllable boys name would be best to avoid the 2-2-2 syllable pattern.
