Hello everyone! I am new to the forum and I need some help. Here’s a little background info. I am currently 32 wks and hanging in there however, it is likely I will go early this time around. I have some names I like but nothing that I’m set on. With my son at this time I had at least a top 10 but finding girls names to me is harder. I do like unique names & I know people use this term differently so I’ll explain. When I think of this word I think not common, the type of name when people hear it they think “I’ve never heard of that, kind of cool”, & not on the popular list of names. I also tend to like names that are meaningful. I don’t want to name my child after someone in my family. I just feel they are their own person and should have their own name. I followed the same rule with my son. So, with all that said here are the names I like so far. My husband and I are not agreeing on all the names.
Please tell me what you think or any suggestions of maybe a name similar to the names listed. I am open to any new ideas.
[name_u]Everly[/name_u] *I really like this one. It sounds really feminine to me
[name_f]Blythe[/name_f] *I like this one too but my husband doesn’t
[name_f]Kaia[/name_f] (maybe more of a middle name)
[name_f]Kinsley[/name_f]
[name_f]Arleigh[/name_f]
[name_f]Leilani[/name_f]
[name_f]Niley[/name_f]
[name_f]Ilianna[/name_f]
[name_f]Veronique[/name_f] **Another one I really love, but he doesn’t
[name_f]Wren[/name_f] ( maybe middle name)
[name_f]Ranielle[/name_f]
[name_f]Summerlyn[/name_f]
[name_u]Bryn[/name_u]
As you can see they are all over the place just names we’ve both come across and added to our list. I’m just scared that if I don’t go to term I won’t have a name & I want one before we leave the hospital. HELP!
I’m wondering what your son’s name is as well as this could help in narrowing the list.
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Wren[/name_f] is a great combination and my favorite names on your list. [name_f]Leilani[/name_f] [name_f]Wren[/name_f], [name_f]Kiara[/name_f] or [name_u]Alani[/name_u] [name_u]Bryn[/name_u], and [name_u]Everly[/name_u] or [name_f]Summerlyn[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] are other possible combinations. You could also use [name_f]Summer[/name_f] or [name_u]Rain[/name_u]/[name_f]Raine[/name_f] as mns ([name_u]Everly[/name_u] [name_u]Rain[/name_u], [name_f]Ilianna[/name_f] [name_f]Summer[/name_f]).
The names I would eliminate from your list (just nms) are: Cambriegh/[name_f]Cambrie[/name_f] (sounds made up and like a type of cheese to me); [name_u]Camdyn[/name_u], [name_f]Arleigh[/name_f], [name_f]Kinsley[/name_f], [name_f]Niley[/name_f] (too trendy and made up, plus I wouldn’t do anything close to [name_f]Miley[/name_f]-- too much baggage with that name).
I like [name_f]Elodie[/name_f], [name_u]Everly[/name_u], [name_f]Wren[/name_f], [name_u]Bryn[/name_u], [name_f]Kaia[/name_f], and [name_f]Kinsley[/name_f]!
My sons name is [name_m]Corvin[/name_m], middle name also is a C. We didn’t do that with the intent on having 2 C’s in his name, we just couldn’t decide what name we liked better so we gave him both.
First, let me start off by saying that little girl is beautiful in the picture! I like [name_u]Everly[/name_u] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f]. That’s a really nice combo.
[name_f]Cambreigh[/name_f], [name_f]Cambrie[/name_f]: This name is OK for me, not great but not awful. I prefer the “leigh” spelling though.
[name_u]Camdyn[/name_u] , [name_u]Kamden[/name_u]: I like this name a lot, but I have only known boy [name_u]Kamden[/name_u]'s/[name_u]Camden[/name_u]'s/[name_u]Camdyn[/name_u]'s/etc… so on a girl I don’t prefer it.
[name_f]Caprice[/name_f]: Very nice. Chic and clean sounding. Also sounds great with your sons name.
[name_f]Chiara[/name_f], [name_f]Kiarra[/name_f], [name_f]Kiara[/name_f]: I don’t love this name. I prefer [name_f]Kyra[/name_f] as opposed to [name_f]Kiara[/name_f].
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f]: Beautiful! So cute and feminine. I love this name!!!
[name_u]Everly[/name_u]: I agree with you, this name is great and sounds very feminine also.
[name_f]Blythe[/name_f]: I’m sorry, but I’m so NOT a fan of this name. Not feminine or attractive to me at all.
[name_f]Kaia[/name_f]: I like [name_f]Kaia[/name_f]. I think it would be an excellent middle name. I knew a woman named Kasha; kind of a different twist on that group of names. [name_m]Just[/name_m] a thought…
[name_f]Kinsley[/name_f]: Cute. Also feminine. I don’t know about you, but where I live these types of names are getting super popular. There are [name_f]Kinley[/name_f]'s, [name_f]Kinsey[/name_f]'s, [name_f]Kenley[/name_f]'s, Kipley’s, etc popping up all over the place! That is a no-no for me, so I would personally stay away.
[name_f]Arleigh[/name_f]: Cute! [name_u]Unique[/name_u] and girly. I like this one.
[name_f]Leilani[/name_f]: Ehh. Doesn’t do much for me. I prefer [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] if you are trying to go in that direction…
[name_f]Niley[/name_f]: My first thought is that it sounds like a dog’s name. Maybe I know too many dog [name_u]Riley[/name_u]'s or something, but that was honestly my first instinct.
[name_f]Ilianna[/name_f]: It’s ok. Seems like it may be trying too hard to be trendy. But it’s ok…
[name_f]Veronique[/name_f]: I love this name. It doesn’t really match your sons name in my opinion, but I still love it!
[name_f]Wren[/name_f]: I also love [name_f]Wren[/name_f]! I agree that it works great as a middle name too.
[name_f]Ranielle[/name_f]: I’ve never seen this name, but I like it! Also [name_f]Raina[/name_f] is similar in style, I like that one too.
[name_f]Summerlyn[/name_f]: Really don’t prefer this one.
[name_u]Bryn[/name_u]: I love [name_u]Bryn[/name_u]! [name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_f]Love[/name_f]. It’s on my list also. I prefer the spelling [name_f]Brynn[/name_f] though.
Congrats on your pregnancy and welcome to Nameberry. Here are my comments on your name list with my faves in bold.
[name_f]Aislyn[/name_f] - this is just two sounds thrown together rather than a name.
[name_u]Alani[/name_u] - This just looks like the male name [name_m]Alan[/name_m] with an “i” stuck on the end.
[name_f]Cambreigh[/name_f], [name_f]Cambrie[/name_f] - Trendy and cutesy.
[name_u]Camdyn[/name_u] , [name_u]Kamden[/name_u] - Three or four celebrities have chosen this name for their children. Avoid like the plague. [name_u]Camdyn[/name_u] and [name_m]Corvin[/name_m] are also too similar.
[name_f]Caprice[/name_f] - I don’t like the meaning.
[name_f]Chiara[/name_f] - I prefer this Italian spelling.
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f] - a pretty [name_m]French[/name_m] gem
[name_u]Everly[/name_u] - trend alert. It’s not unique. It’s on many celebrity kids lists.
9. [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] - this one works better as a middle name but if your husband doesn’t like it, chuck it!
[name_f]Kaia[/name_f] - Ok but I prefer the “C” spelling [name_f]Caia[/name_f]
[name_f]Kinsley[/name_f] - too cutesy so I’m not a fan.
[name_f]Arleigh[/name_f] - Trendy along with sister [name_u]Harley[/name_u]
[name_f]Leilani[/name_f] - [name_f]One[/name_f] of my favourite Hawaiian names with a lovely meaning.
[name_f]Niley[/name_f] - rhymes with [name_f]Miley[/name_f], [name_u]Riley[/name_u] and smiley. Not a fan.
[name_f]Ilianna[/name_f] - I don’t like the “Ill” spelling.
[name_f]Veronique[/name_f] - I like this one but if your husband doesn’t care for it, let it go!
[name_f]Wren[/name_f] - this is lovely as a middle name
[name_f]Ranielle[/name_f] - Ok but I prefer other names ending in “elle”
[name_f]Summerlyn[/name_f] - trendy “lyn” ending stuck on a word
[name_u]Bryn[/name_u] - avoid another name ending in “n” like [name_m]Corvin[/name_m]
Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I love all the new names and opinions on those listed. It’s opened my eyes to some of the more trendier names. I didn’t really know they were trendy since where I live they are not. I can see however how they can be.
I must confess to those of you that like [name_f]Leilani[/name_f] this has been one of my fav’s for a very long time. I love the meaning as well. My husband doesn’t like it but I truly do. I don’t really care if it doesn’t sound well with my sons name I just really like it. Is it a popular name? Growing up I only ever knew one person with that name. I think with some of your suggestions so far and some that were on the list I’ll bring it up to him.
