8 weeks to go and still lost!

General Name Discussion
1

Sorry for the disappearance - this is one crazy hectic time of year.

[name]Douglas[/name] and I are slightly closer in deciding upon names for this little surprise babe. He/She is arriving shortly (8 weeks away!) and we’d love some final opinions/feedback.

BOYS
top 4 include:
[name]Whistler[/name]
[name]Cabot[/name]
[name]Callum[/name]
[name]Everett[/name]

(middle names include, all the names listed above and [name]Hart[/name], [name]Douglas[/name], [name]Wolfgang[/name], [name]Charles[/name], [name]Wilder[/name], [name]Booker[/name], [name]York[/name])

GIRLS
Of course, this one is harder for us to narrow down
[name]Liberty[/name] nn [name]Libby[/name] (she has been on our list since out very first pregnancy, it would kind of be full circle if she ends up being our last!)
[name]Daphne[/name] nn [name]Daisy[/name]
[name]Zoey[/name] nn Zippy
[name]Gemma[/name] nn [name]Gem[/name]
[name]Thisbe[/name] nn [name]Zibby[/name]

(middle names include [name]June[/name], [name]Valentine[/name], Bloom/[name]Blossom[/name], [name]Fleur[/name], [name]Madeline[/name], [name]Margaret[/name], [name]Hart[/name], [name]York[/name], [name]Barbara[/name])

If I had to pick right now, my top choices would be [name]Whistler[/name] [name]Cabot[/name] [name]Taliesin[/name] & [name]Liberty[/name] [name]Madeline[/name] [name]Hart[/name] [name]Taliesin[/name]. [name]Doug[/name]'s top picks are [name]Daphne[/name] [name]Madeline[/name] [name]June[/name] & [name]Callum[/name] [name]Whistler[/name] [name]Taliesin[/name].

What would you pick for us? Reminder siblings are [name]Rigby[/name], [name]Miller[/name], [name]Eloise[/name] & [name]Wren[/name].

[name]Whistler[/name] [name]Everett[/name] and [name]Daphne[/name] [name]York[/name] [name]Margaret[/name]

3

For you I like [name]Everett[/name] [name]Wilder[/name] and [name]Gemma[/name] [name]Madeline[/name].

4

For a boy I would choose [name]Whistler[/name] [name]Douglas[/name], I also love [name]Cabot[/name] and [name]Hart[/name] but see [name]Hart[/name] isn’t a option for a first. For a girl [name]Daphne[/name] [name]Margaret[/name] Bloom would be so sweet! And [name]Daphne[/name] goes perfect with your other children’s names, as does [name]Whistler[/name].

5

Boys:

[name]Callum[/name] [name]Hart[/name] [name]Wilder[/name]
[name]Everett[/name] [name]Charles[/name] [name]Wilder[/name]

Girls:

[name]Gemma[/name] [name]Fleur[/name]

(I also noticed that both your girls have middle names that begin with C. Perhaps you could do the same again?)

For example,

[name]Daphne[/name] [name]Clara[/name] Bloom

6

I love Daphne Margaret June and Callum Wilder Hart. :slight_smile:

7

I’d pick [name]Everett[/name] [name]Charles[/name] and [name]Liberty[/name] [name]June[/name]. I like your spunky name choices!

8

I think [name]Rigby[/name], [name]Miller[/name], [name]Wren[/name], [name]Eloise[/name] & [name]Daphne[/name] / [name]Everett[/name] would get my vote.

I love [name]Everett[/name] and I think it fits nicely as it can be a last name too and the nickname [name]Rhett[/name] is too cool. [name]Everett[/name] [name]Charles[/name] [name]Wilder[/name] maybe?

[name]Daphne[/name] fits so well with [name]Wren[/name] and [name]Eloise[/name]! Maybe [name]Daphne[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name] [name]Fleur[/name] or [name]Daphne[/name] [name]Valentine[/name] [name]Fleur[/name]!

Girl

[name]Daphne[/name] [name]Madeline[/name] [name]Fleur[/name] - I think [name]Daphne[/name] is a great “fit” with [name]Eloise[/name] and I like [name]Fleur[/name] (French for flower) in there since you’re calling her [name]Daisy[/name] as a nn.

Boy

[name]Everett[/name] [name]Charles[/name] [name]Wilder[/name]
[name]Cabot[/name] [name]Douglas[/name] [name]Hart[/name]

10

Why don’t you do If I had to pick right now, my top choices would be [name]Whistler[/name] [name]Callum[/name] as a compromise between you and your husband?
For a girl I really love [name]Daphne[/name] [name]Liberty[/name] [name]June[/name] or [name]Madeline[/name] [name]Liberty[/name] [name]June[/name]. Good luck! =]

I love [name]Cabot[/name] [name]Wolfgang[/name] [name]York[/name], which feels very official and handsome, and [name]Thisbe[/name] [name]Madeline[/name] Bloom, which is absolutely GORGEOUS and I think [name]Thisbe[/name] is adorable! [name]Liberty[/name] [name]Madeline[/name] [name]Hart[/name] is very nice, though, and I think [name]Libby[/name] is very cute. [name]Whistler[/name] [name]Cabot[/name] feels very artist-like and professional. [name]Whistler[/name] goes very well with siblings, I think [name]Liberty[/name] does too. While I love [name]Thisbe[/name], it feels a little bit out of place. I would go for your top choices, though I do like [name]Cabot[/name] [name]Wolfgang[/name] [name]York[/name]!

12

My favourites are: [name]Everett[/name] [name]Charles[/name] and [name]Gemma[/name] [name]Valentine[/name].

By the way, I´m [name]German[/name] and [name]Wolfgang[/name] is a really old, like really really not used anymore, old boys name. Please do not choose that one for your child.

Good luck :slight_smile:

Thanks for the opinions everyone! Ps I forgot to list the desired nicknames for the boys list:
[name]Whistler[/name] nn [name]Whit[/name]
[name]Everett[/name] nn [name]Rhett[/name] or Ev
[name]Cabot[/name] nn [name]Cab[/name] or [name]Bo[/name]
[name]Callum[/name] nn [name]Cal[/name]

I think [name]York[/name] & [name]Margaret[/name] sound so distiniguished together, thanks for that suggestion @katemarie

@dayken95 - at first I was kinda iffy about using [name]Douglas[/name]’ name as a middle but i think your suggestion of [name]Whistler[/name] [name]Douglas[/name] is spot on. A quirky first name and then a solid, masculine middle to match my 2 other sons. Something to definitely think about.

@garnet - I’m not opposed to using another C middle name, but I kind of like the idea of just the twins sharing that!

@mischa i like the idea of fleur/bloom/blossom being in the middle for the reason exactly!

thanks again!

For a boy, my favourite is [name]Callum[/name] [name]Charles[/name]… meaning = free dove. It’s a bit C heavy but since the Cs are pronounced differently, I don’t think it matters. I think it matches nicely with [name]Rigby[/name] & [name]Miller[/name] in style.

For a daughter, I’d suggest
[name]Liberty[/name] [name]Margaret[/name] [name]Fleur[/name] (I like the nn of [name]Libby[/name])
[name]Daphne[/name] [name]Madeline[/name] [name]Fleur[/name]
or
[name]Zoey[/name] [name]Madeline[/name] [name]Fleur[/name]

I like [name]Zoey[/name] best with you sibset :slight_smile:

[name]Hi[/name] [name]Viv[/name] I am trying to remember if I knew that your surprise baby was on the way. Congratulations and it is always a pleasure to help you.

Truthfully I can’t get onboard with [name]Whistler[/name] as a first name and while I love [name]Everett[/name] and don’t mind [name]Callum[/name] I am not sure that you want something as popular as these choices. I do think [name]Everett[/name] with the nn of [name]Rhett[/name] is a top name. It has strength and power and the [name]Rhett[/name] nn makes me swoon.

[name]Viv[/name] I am surprised to see [name]Liberty[/name] on your list as it seems a little too popular for your taste. I do concur though that [name]Libby[/name] is a very cute nn. [name]Liberty[/name] is not really a girly name as are [name]Eloise[/name] and [name]Wren[/name].

[name]Daphne[/name] with nn of [name]Daisy[/name] is very nice.

I think [name]Hart[/name] as a middle would be lovely.

I also feel that the direction you would like to take is more girly vintage rather than the popular word names. However I will have a try to get a combo for you.

[name]Thea[/name] [name]Liberty[/name] [name]Hart[/name] or [name]Anthea[/name] [name]Madeline[/name] [name]Hart[/name] or [name]Xanthe[/name] [name]Amelia[/name] [name]Paige[/name]

or

[name]Violet[/name] [name]Jemima[/name] [name]Hart[/name]
[name]Mimi[/name] [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Valentine[/name] or if you wish use [name]Margaret[/name] with the nn of [name]Mimi[/name] but I prefer [name]Mimi[/name] and I love the nn of [name]Mim[/name] too.
[name]Valerie[/name] [name]Margaret[/name] [name]Hart[/name]
[name]Gemma[/name] [name]Madeline[/name] [name]York[/name]
[name]Carys[/name] [name]Arabella[/name] [name]Valentine[/name]
[name]Piper[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Hart[/name] nn [name]Pip[/name] or [name]Libby[/name]

Boys

[name]Everett[/name] [name]Simon[/name] [name]York[/name]
[name]Simeon[/name] [name]Alfred[/name] [name]Whistler[/name]
[name]Charlton[/name] [name]Bodhi[/name] [name]Wilder[/name]
[name]Cabot[/name] [name]Douglas[/name] [name]Hart[/name] or if you like [name]Arlo[/name] instead of [name]Cabot[/name]

I just reread some of the posts and you like Whit as a nn so I was wondering if Whittaker would appeal to you as it has the same few letters and it removes the idea of snow and skiing from my mind (not that that is a bad thing as I met my DH in the ski fields).

I love [name]Whistler[/name] nn [name]Whit[/name]! That is fantastic.

I still think [name]Birdie[/name], [name]Lola[/name] & [name]Daisy[/name] rocks so [name]Daphne[/name] gets my vote for the girl.

I remembered you like the nickname [name]Bo[/name] for a girl ([name]Bronte[/name] nn [name]Bo[/name] I think was my suggestion for you), but I think you could use [name]Bo[/name] for [name]Zoey[/name] if you wanted. [name]Zo[/name] - [name]Bo[/name]. Any rhyming name works for a nickname, right?

Good luck! I can’t wait to see what you decide on.

So [name]Daphne[/name] seems to be getting all the love. [name]Douglas[/name] will be happy to see this :slight_smile: I still really love her too and i think [name]Rigby[/name], [name]Miller[/name], [name]Wren[/name], [name]Eloise[/name] & [name]Daphne[/name] are awesome together, and I too am smitten with [name]Birdie[/name], [name]Lola[/name] & [name]Daisy[/name]!

[name]Daphne[/name] [name]Madeline[/name] Bloom perhaps? Fun, upbeat and happy - just the type of name I love.

But i sill feel like [name]Liberty[/name] has that same fun feeling - I love the way she roles off of my tongue. Plus, I think the full [name]Liberty[/name] [name]Taliesin[/name] is awesome! Plus, I have always loved the name [name]Liv[/name] but since I go by [name]Viv[/name] 99% of the time i think having a daughter named [name]Liv[/name] would be a bit much. I feel like i could sneak in a “[name]Libby[/name] [name]Liv[/name]” once in a while :wink: Plus, [name]Lola[/name], [name]Birdie[/name] & [name]Libby[/name] are very sweet together.

As for boys, I am still really really loving [name]Whistler[/name]. And i forget who posted about this, but it is that ski/winter association that we love about him! [name]Whistler[/name] [name]Callum[/name] [name]Cabot[/name] [name]Taliesin[/name]? Hmm not in love. [name]Whistler[/name] [name]Douglas[/name] [name]Cabot[/name] [name]Taliesin[/name] I would get on board with. But I also adore [name]Cabot[/name] in the first spot - so distinguished. And [name]Callum[/name] nn [name]Cal[/name] is just too sweet to pass up.

Lots to think about still - loving your suggestions though. Thank you!

I love [name]Daphne[/name] for you, but I think [name]Daphne[/name] [name]Margaret[/name] Bloom/[name]Fleur[/name] or [name]Daphne[/name] [name]Barbara[/name] [name]Fleur[/name] sounds better than [name]Daphne[/name] [name]Madeline[/name] Bloom - I think it has to do with the syllable flow.

I think [name]Whistler[/name] works and doesn’t work for you because of the “i” sound - on the one hand, it matches your other boys, but I kind of want to think it’s a little too similar (if that makes any sense?).

I like [name]Callum[/name] a lot as well, especially with the nickname [name]Cal[/name]. Too cute!

Such a hard decision! Good luck to you!
