Hey everyone! We’re going to be first time parents and naming our child is extremely terrifying to us! A lot of friends of ours say that you need to narrow down a “naming style” and go from there (they also said the style usually comes from your every day life style). But our “life style” is pretty confusing.
We want a name that does somewhat reflect us; fun, hip/stylish but we also want the name to have a somewhat classy-ish feel so it will age well and sound nice on an adult. If that makes any sense at all? We do know that we don’t like alliteration or names ending in -er since they sound bad with [name_u]Carter[/name_u] (our last name). We also know that if we have a girl, her middle name would be [name_f]Susanne[/name_f] (a combination of our mothers’ names, [name_f]Sue[/name_f] and [name_f]Anne[/name_f]).
Congrats!!! You seem like you are both going to be great parents!!!
Anyway back to names I just posted on your boys thread but honestly I don’t think you need to find a certain style and limit yourself to just those names because names from a range of categories will most likely fit your needs… But I will go ahead and organize my suggestions based on style…
Vintage/hipster:
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_f]Susanne[/name_f] [name_u]Carter[/name_u]
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Susanne[/name_f] [name_u]Carter[/name_u]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_f]Susanne[/name_f] [name_u]Carter[/name_u]
[name_f]Dinah[/name_f] [name_f]Susanne[/name_f] [name_u]Carter[/name_u]
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f] [name_f]Susanne[/name_f] [name_u]Carter[/name_u]
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_f]Susanne[/name_f] [name_u]Carter[/name_u]
We like and will definitely be adding to a list: [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]Willow[/name_f], [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f], and [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
We like but don’t like with [name_u]Carter[/name_u]: [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] (maybe just [name_f]Delia[/name_f] on its own?) and [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
I agree, I wouldn’t worry too much about finding a style you have already short listed some stunning names. Here are a few more ideas…

With some names, Susannah may work well in the middle, is this an option?
We like and are definitley adding to a list: [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], [name_f]Audrey[/name_f], [name_f]Delilah[/name_f], [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], [name_u]Bellamy[/name_u], [name_f]Lilah[/name_f], and [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
We like but don’t like with [name_u]Carter[/name_u] or cannot use: [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] (it does seem a bit too [name_f]Beyonce[/name_f] for us) and [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]
So far we like all of our names with [name_f]Susanne[/name_f], and we’d prefer to stick with that. But if the absolutely perfect first name came about and sounded better with [name_f]Susannah[/name_f], we’d consider switching the middle name from [name_f]Susanne[/name_f] to [name_f]Susannah[/name_f].
