[name]Hi[/name] All.

I’d love your input; positive, negative and otherwise. We are expecting #3 in [name]March[/name] - and we don’t know if the babyis a girl or boy. Our last name sounds and looks like [name]Par[/name]-Tur and siblings are [name]Talia[/name] [name]Ann[/name] and [name]Judah[/name] [name]Oz[/name] (he prefers and goes by the name [name]Ozzie[/name]).

For girls, here is a list of finalists:
Noë [name]Jade[/name]
[name]Etta[/name] [name]Dove[/name]
[name]Freyda[/name] [name]Eve[/name]
[name]Sadie[/name] [name]Grey[/name]
[name]Milla[/name] [name]Sage[/name]

For boys,
[name]Eitan[/name] [name]Dov[/name]
[name]Everett[/name] [name]Dov[/name]
[name]Xavier[/name] [name]Mac[/name]
[name]Abram[/name] [name]Hob[/name]
[name]Paxton[/name] [name]Ash[/name]
[name]Micah[/name] [name]Dov[/name]

We aren’t wed to anything at all, but have tried to find names that work with siblings and the last name. I won’t say any more than that because I would like honest feedback on names/preferences and ideas for us to consider.

Thanks a ton.

[name]Sadie[/name] [name]Grey[/name] jumps out at me from your girl’s list. I think it is absolutely lovely. Nicely evocative and spunky.

From the boys list [name]Everett[/name] [name]Dov[/name] and [name]Abram[/name] [name]Hob[/name] are the stand outs for me.

Other ideas:

[name]Elijah[/name] [name]Dov[/name]
[name]Jethro[/name] [name]Mac[/name]
[name]Gideon[/name] [name]Mac[/name]
[name]Isaac[/name] [name]Dov[/name]
[name]Callum[/name] [name]Ash[/name]
[name]Asha[/name]/[name]Ezra[/name] [name]Dov[/name]

or even

[name]Van[/name] [name]Everett[/name]
[name]Callaghan[/name] [name]Mac[/name]

I love everyone’s input on these names. I see that [name]Sadie[/name] [name]Grey[/name] was the stand out for someone and my first thought was the name of a tragic heroine in a 19th century novella!

Noë [name]Jade[/name] - Looks lovely, unsure how it is pronounced; like jewel and flower names so [name]Jade[/name] a good choice.

[name]Etta[/name] [name]Dove[/name] - [name]Etta[/name] is good, easy to pronounce, close to a few more popular names; [name]Dove[/name] makes me think of the chocolate bar as well as a bird that is a symbol of peace.

[name]Freyda[/name] [name]Eve[/name] - [name]Frey[/name] as in “fray”? I can see “fraidy” coming out of this. I like [name]Freya[/name], Freyja, but different names entirely. [name]Eve[/name] is good.

[name]Sadie[/name] [name]Grey[/name] - Well I have a dog named [name]Sadie[/name], and I know numerous animals with this name as well as a young girl. [name]Grey[/name] just isn’t a colorful name, if you will pardon the pun. [name]How[/name] about [name]Sada[/name] [name]Eve[/name]?

[name]Milla[/name] [name]Sage[/name] - Is this Mee lah or Mill ah? I prefer Mee lah, but both are pretty. [name]Sage[/name] is slightly better than [name]Grey[/name]. [name]Milla[/name] [name]Jade[/name]?

[name]Eitan[/name] [name]Dov[/name] - I like it a lot, though I am not totally positive on how it would be pronounced.

[name]Everett[/name] [name]Dov[/name] - I generally like [name]Everett[/name], but it doesn’t seem to flow with your other children.

[name]Xavier[/name] [name]Mac[/name] - Know a little [name]Xavier[/name] just a few weeks old, and I live in the boonies, so this name must climbing the charts. I prefer [name]Xavier[/name] [name]Max[/name], but that is probably “X” overload!

[name]Abram[/name] [name]Hob[/name] - [name]Abram[/name] is good, especially with [name]Bram[/name] as an optional nickname. [name]Hob[/name] - Not certain with another b so soon after [name]Abram[/name], does the name have personal meaning? [name]Abram[/name] [name]Uri[/name]? [name]Abram[/name] [name]Dov[/name]? [name]Abram[/name] [name]Liev[/name]? I like [name]Abel[/name] and [name]Absalom[/name] also.

[name]Paxton[/name] [name]Ash[/name] - I like [name]Ash[/name], not [name]Paxton[/name]. [name]Paz[/name] is nice or [name]Pazia[/name] for girl!

[name]Micah[/name] [name]Dov[/name] - A good combo. I know of several [name]Micah[/name]'s so probably not uber-unique.

I like your style and creativity!

[name]Sadie[/name] [name]Gray[/name] jumped out at me too! [name]Love[/name] it. [name]Sadie[/name] is on my short list too. Spunky and cute. Sure a common dog name but who cares? There are so many fantastic girl and boy names that are also popular dog names. As for boy names I love [name]Abram[/name]! Nn [name]Bram[/name]. I like [name]Bram[/name] on it’s own too. The other boy name I love for you is [name]Everett[/name]. Nn’s Ev, [name]Ever[/name], and my fav, [name]Rhett[/name]!

5

Oh and I also love the name [name]Micah[/name]! My only issue is the nn [name]Mike[/name] and [name]Mikey[/name] BUT if you do want to use a nn, I really like Mic. The I makes the same sound as in “is”. Considered this one for my boy names as well. Gl!

6

My faves are [name]Etta[/name] [name]Dove[/name] and [name]Abram[/name] [name]Hob[/name]! Very cool!

8

[name]Talia[/name], [name]Judah[/name]/[name]Ozzie[/name], and

[name]Etta[/name] [name]Dove[/name]
[name]Sadie[/name] [name]Grey[/name]
[name]Milla[/name] [name]Sage[/name]

[name]Eitan[/name] [name]Dov[/name]
[name]Abram[/name] [name]Hob[/name] (prefer [name]Bram[/name], but would need to re-do middle-- maybe [name]Bram[/name] [name]Ash[/name]?)
[name]Micah[/name] [name]Dov[/name]

I like the suggestions above of [name]Elijah[/name] [name]Dov[/name], [name]Gideon[/name] [name]Mac[/name], [name]Isaac[/name] [name]Dov[/name] or [name]Van[/name] [name]Everett[/name] too.

Some other possibilities:

[name]Asa[/name] [name]Gray[/name]
[name]Frank[/name] [name]Dov[/name]
[name]Fred[/name] [name]Hob[/name]
[name]Ivo[/name] [name]Dax[/name]
[name]Paul[/name] [name]Hob[/name]
[name]Seth[/name] [name]Rob[/name]
[name]Vale[/name] [name]Dax[/name]
[name]Viggo[/name] [name]Dov[/name]

[name]Avis[/name] [name]Grey[/name]
[name]Clara[/name] [name]Dove[/name]
[name]Esme[/name] [name]Dove[/name]
[name]Fiona[/name] [name]Grey[/name]
[name]Jane[/name] [name]Dove[/name]
[name]Maeve[/name] [name]Bess[/name]
[name]Sylvie[/name] [name]Grey[/name]
[name]Zoe[/name] [name]Grey[/name]

Here are my top two (in order) for boys and girls

  1. [name]Freyda[/name] [name]Eve[/name] - I like how [name]Freyda[/name] is so unusual, yet traditional. [name]Eve[/name] grounds it nicely and is such a sweet middle

  2. [name]Sadie[/name] [name]Grey[/name] - very on trend and goes very well with [name]Talia[/name] [name]Ann[/name]

  3. [name]Eitan[/name] [name]Dov[/name] - [name]Love[/name] [name]Eitan[/name]

  4. [name]Abram[/name] [name]Hob[/name] - [name]Abram[/name] has really been growing on me, and, as others have said, the nn [name]Bram[/name] is so precious. There is a lot of ‘b’ in this name though…

I also like [name]Micah[/name] [name]Dov[/name], but it shares the same ending as [name]Judah[/name]. [name]Paxton[/name] is nms and [name]Xavier[/name] doesn’t fit as well, imo. [name]Everett[/name] is a nice name, but I think [name]Eitan[/name], [name]Abram[/name], and [name]Micah[/name] fit much better with the rest of your siblings and feel a bit more special.

For girls:
Noë [name]Jade[/name] - Am assuming this is supposed to rhyme with [name]Zoe[/name]. I just don’t think, if you are in an english speaking, it would work very well.
[name]Etta[/name] [name]Dove[/name] - Oh, I love this. [name]Etta[/name] is so under appreciated, and I love [name]Dove[/name] in the middle.
[name]Freyda[/name] [name]Eve[/name] - Meh, not feeling it.
[name]Sadie[/name] [name]Grey[/name] - Seems a bit musty too me.
[name]Milla[/name] [name]Sage[/name] - Cute. Prefer [name]Milla[/name] with one L but either way it’s a great name.
From this list I’d probably go with [name]Milla[/name] [name]Dove[/name]. [name]Talia[/name], [name]Ozzie[/name], and [name]Milla[/name]. Yes, I quite like that.

For boys:
[name]Eitan[/name] [name]Dov[/name] - Again, not really sure on how to say this. Like Eating?
[name]Everett[/name] [name]Dov[/name] - [name]Love[/name] [name]Everett[/name], love [name]Dov[/name]. Wonderful.
[name]Xavier[/name] [name]Mac[/name] - Never really understood why [name]Xavier[/name] was so appealing honestly.
[name]Abram[/name] [name]Hob[/name] - Absolutely adore [name]Abram[/name]. [name]Hob[/name] is interesting.
[name]Paxton[/name] [name]Ash[/name] - Meh.
[name]Micah[/name] [name]Dov[/name] - [name]Love[/name] this one two.
I’d go with [name]Abram[/name] [name]Hob[/name]. [name]Talia[/name], [name]Ozzie[/name], and [name]Abram[/name].

Thank you everyone for your truly helpful replies. We don’t like to discuss names with friends/family in advance so your insights are really important for both of us.

[name]Eitan[/name] is AY-tahn and Noë is the female version of [name]Noah[/name], for those of you wondering.

I also like the name [name]Etan[/name], which has a different beginning.

And the suggestions above are all worth tryin on. So again, thanks!

Noë [name]Jade[/name] - I’ve never seen [name]Noe[/name] for a girl before, but I love the name. I’m not fond [name]Jade[/name], however. It’s kind of 90’s to me.
[name]Etta[/name] [name]Dove[/name] - [name]Etta[/name] is lovely and I love [name]Dove[/name].
[name]Freyda[/name] [name]Eve[/name] - I don’t like [name]Freyda[/name]. I prefer [name]Freida[/name] or [name]Freya[/name].
[name]Sadie[/name] [name]Grey[/name] - cute
[name]Milla[/name] [name]Sage[/name] - I love [name]Sage[/name]. [name]Milla[/name] seems incomplete.

[name]Eitan[/name] [name]Dov[/name] - Nice. Might be some pronunciation issues.
[name]Everett[/name] [name]Dov[/name] - Solid, handsome.
[name]Xavier[/name] [name]Mac[/name] - ok. [name]Xavier[/name] isn’t as nice as some of your other options.
[name]Abram[/name] [name]Hob[/name] - I love it.
[name]Paxton[/name] [name]Ash[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name]. [name]Pax[/name] is a cute nn. I’d prefer [name]Paxton[/name] [name]Dov[/name], though.
[name]Micah[/name] [name]Dov[/name] - I adore this. I think it’s my favorite.

My favorites would be
Girls:
[name]Noe[/name] [name]Sage[/name]
[name]Sage[/name] [name]Grey[/name]

Boys:
[name]Micah[/name] [name]Dov[/name]
[name]Paxton[/name] [name]Dov[/name]

[name]Sadie[/name] is a cute name for a puppy :wink: I know several dogs with this name- so I just can’t see it on a little girl. I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Etta[/name] and [name]Milla[/name]- and all your middle names are awesome. I may steal them :wink: For boys, [name]Micah[/name] goes so well with [name]Judah[/name]- strong biblical names. Strong and manly. I’m a fan of [name]Paxton[/name] because I love the nick name [name]Pax[/name]!

14

I like [name]Sadie[/name] and [name]Micah[/name]. Someone else mentioned [name]Elijah[/name], which is nice, too. What about [name]Chana[/name]?

15

[name]Everett[/name] and [name]Abram[/name] are my favorites from your boy list. I really like [name]Milla[/name] but not [name]Sage[/name]. Maybe [name]Milla[/name] [name]Grey[/name]? [name]Milla[/name] [name]Dove[/name]?
