[name]Jude[/name] [name]Michael[/name] is going to be a big brother in [name]June[/name]! We find out the gender of the baby in a week, but I’m going crazy with names! I’ll list a few I like, but am definitely open to suggestions. Meaning is important to the hubby. I do not love super-trendy top 100 names, typically (comes from having 5 other [name]Lindsay[/name]'s in my class growing up). Also, we do family names as middle names, and for a boy are considering [name]Luke[/name] as a mn and [name]Rae[/name] as a mn for a girl. But - these are open to discussion if I am sold on a fn that does not go well.
My favorites:
[name]Eliza[/name] - I love, love, love the name [name]Eliza[/name], the way it goes with [name]Jude[/name] (spunky but intelligent) and the combination of sounds when paired with [name]Rae[/name]. I would, however, spell [name]Rae[/name] as [name]Ray[/name], but that’s just my personal preference - for me, [name]Eliza[/name] [name]Ray[/name] is perfection!
[name]Elora[/name] - love the name [name]Elora[/name]
[name]Ada[/name] - simple but gorgeous
[name]Roman[/name] - [name]Roman[/name] and [name]Jude[/name] go well together, [name]IMO[/name]. I really like [name]Roman[/name] [name]Luke[/name], too.
[name]Ezra[/name] - I started to like that name, it sound very well with [name]Jude[/name], but has slightly more biblical connotations than I’d like. Still love it for [name]Ezra[/name] Pound, though.
[name]Maxwell[/name] - [name]Jude[/name] and [name]Max[/name] are the ultimate cuteness together.
Girls
[name]Adele[/name] It is alright, dosen’t seem to fit with [name]Jude[/name] to me for some reason
[name]Eva[/name] I like it, it goes well with [name]Jude[/name]
[name]Ada[/name] To trendy for me
[name]Eloise[/name] It is nice, spunky and fresh
[name]Naomi[/name] Good name, maybe a little heavy for a little kid though
[name]Elana[/name] For some reason it sounds made up to me
[name]Elora[/name] Same as above
[name]Eden[/name] I like it. Pretty. Goes well with [name]Jude[/name]
[name]Cecile[/name] Nice, though people tend to have pron. problems with it
[name]Eleanor[/name] Too old-lady for me
[name]Scarlett[/name] [name]Scarlett[/name] O’[name]Hara[/name]. Not a good role model, though the name is pretty
[name]Arielle[/name] All I think of is the Disney mermaid
[name]Noelle[/name] I like it.
[name]Eliza[/name] It is awesome with [name]Jude[/name]. It gives a good image and could grow well
[name]Violet[/name] Not a fan for some reason
Boys
[name]Silas[/name] I like it
[name]Ezekiel[/name] Not a huge fan of the nn [name]Zeke[/name], but [name]Ezekiel[/name] is OK
[name]Roman[/name] I don’t like it
[name]Gabriel[/name] It is pretty good
[name]Cole[/name] Alright, a little trendy 90’s to me. [name]Don[/name]'t know why
[name]Ezra[/name] It is a nice name but I personally have a bad connontation with a guy who was kind of a jerk
[name]Isaac[/name] I like it. Simple.
[name]Alexander[/name] Great name, good nns. Skander, [name]Zander[/name], [name]Alex[/name]…
[name]Maxwell[/name] Not a big fan, a little pretentious
[name]Zachariah[/name] It is ok
Thanks for the feedback! Due to family middle names, [name]Rae[/name] needs to be spelled the way it is.
I’m leaning toward [name]Eliza[/name] for a girl. That was at the top of my list before I knew my DS was a boy.
I really don’t know about boy names. DH isn’t on board with [name]Roman[/name], fully. [name]Maxwell[/name] is okay. [name]Ezra[/name] is a top runner (love the biblical connotations, personally…).
I love your son’s name! [name]Jude[/name] [name]Michael[/name] is so handsome.
With [name]Jude[/name], I love [name]Adele[/name], [name]Elora[/name], [name]Violet[/name], and [name]Eliza[/name] for girls, and [name]Silas[/name], [name]Ezra[/name], and [name]Maxwell[/name] for boys. [name]Adele[/name] and [name]Silas[/name] are my favorites.
I love your boy’s name!! I’m pregnant with baby #3 and [name]Jude[/name] is definitely what we’re going with if we have another boy. My first two are [name]John[/name] [name]Daniel[/name] and [name]James[/name] [name]Monroe[/name]. I noticed that you had a few biblical-type names on your lists and since your hubby likes names with meaning, you may want to consider [name]John[/name] or [name]James[/name]. We chose those names because [name]John[/name] and [name]James[/name] were brothers in the Bible, and [name]Jude[/name] and [name]James[/name] were also brothers. From your list, I love [name]Isaac[/name]! That would go nicely with [name]Jude[/name] I think. You actually have some of the names I’ve picked out if we have a girl (great minds think alike!)…I love [name]Eden[/name], [name]Scarlett[/name], [name]Arielle[/name], [name]Noelle[/name], and [name]Violet[/name]!! Good luck!!!
