I have a 21 month old son and we are starting to try for #2! I have a few options I love as a sibling for my [name_m]Amos[/name_m] [name_m]Julian[/name_m] and am open to suggestions…here goes -
Girl
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f] [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] (after my grandmother) - I do worry about the rising popularity of [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] - we live in L.A. and I have heard the name called at playgrounds several times
[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] - nick name “[name_f]Rosie[/name_f]” - our last name is very common/anglo-saxon and begins with an R and theres something about [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] R… that just seems wonderful
Boy
[name_m]Louis[/name_m] [name_m]Boone/name_m
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m] [name_u]Reed[/name_u] ([name_u]Reed[/name_u] is a family name)
What do you guys think? I would love thoughts on the two options and other ideas as well!
I love [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m]. I think it’s a cool name that works pretty well together. I also like [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] [name_u]Reed[/name_u]. I’m not so certain on [name_m]Boone[/name_m], it’s nms but if it works it works. I really like [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] but if you’re worried about the rising popularity of [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] perhaps you could try a similar name. [name_f]Amabel[/name_f] is the name that [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] came from and is used as an alternative.
Oh I just absolutely love [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m]! Sounds so gorgeous and movie star like. While [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] is not my style at all I do love [name_f]Mabel[/name_f]. I’m not crazy about either boy names, but [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] is a love of mine. [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] [name_u]Reed[/name_u] is nice and honors so that would be my favorite though [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] [name_m]Boone[/name_m] would be pretty cool.
Oh man, you have such a lovely naming style! I really really like [name_f]Mabel[/name_f]. It’s one of my favorites, too! For what it’s worth, I don’t know of any little [name_f]Mabel[/name_f]'s, but I’m in [name_m]KY[/name_m] and I’m sure the naming style is different here than in LA. [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] is sweet, too! I like it by way or [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] but [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] is such a distinctive choice.
Of your boy choices I am swooning over the idea of [name_m]Amos[/name_m] and [name_m]Oscar[/name_m]. So CUTE! [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] is another one of our top choices for a boy, we have such similar taste! [name_m]Louis[/name_m] is handsome, but I would think you’d get a lot of the “[name_m]Lewis[/name_m]” pronunciation. Good luck, love your options!
