A Sister for Brynn

We are 99% we are having a boy, but just in case we need a girl’s name!

My husband likes [name_f]Nora[/name_f]. I am not a fan of the popularity and my cousin had a [name_f]Nora[/name_f] 6 months ago.

I like [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] and [name_f]Emma[/name_f], but [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] was immediately vetoed and we are both unsure about [name_f]Emma[/name_f] because of the popularity.

Any other ideas?

I suggest [name_f]Alma[/name_f] or [name_f]Lissa[/name_f]

[name_f]Brynn[/name_f] and…
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_u]Rue[/name_u]
[name_f]Willa[/name_f]
[name_f]Kate[/name_f]
[name_f]Lina[/name_f]
[name_f]Maya[/name_f]
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f]
[name_u]Seren[/name_u]
[name_f]Asha[/name_f]
[name_f]Freya[/name_f]
[name_f]Carys[/name_f]
[name_f]Claire[/name_f]
[name_f]Daria[/name_f]
[name_f]Maris[/name_f]
[name_f]Thea[/name_f]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f]
[name_f]Vera[/name_f]
[name_f]Belle[/name_f]
[name_f]Thisbe[/name_f]

given that brynn has two (lovely!) nature-meaning names, i suggest:

acacia
briar
cassia (the plant most “cinnamon” comes from)
clover
dale
hazel
ivy
juniper (i know a little juniper called junie!)
laurel
lea (pronounced like “leigh”)
linden
magnolia (i love the nn maggie for this)
marina
meadow
olive
sylvia/sylvie
willow

semi-unrelated, but i have to say — i love levi cedar for a little boy! cedar is a favored middle of mine, because cedar is the street i grew up on :slight_smile:

[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] or [name_f]Etta[/name_f] instead of [name_f]Emma[/name_f]? [name_f]Cora[/name_f] instead of [name_f]Nora[/name_f]? Also love the suggestion of [name_f]Willa[/name_f]. [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] also comes to mind.

[name_f]Willa[/name_f], [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] and [name_f]Carys[/name_f] stand out to me. I like the feel, but I’m not sure I love them enough?

Hubby suggested [name_f]Autumn[/name_f], which is on my radar, but I’m not sure about it as a first name. Any ideas for combos?

I think [name_u]Everly[/name_u] [name_f]Maple[/name_f] from your bio is Perfect

Me too, but hubby needs some convincing!

I love [name_f]Emma[/name_f], [name_f]Nora[/name_f], and [name_f]Tessa[/name_f]; especially [name_f]Emma[/name_f].

[name_f]Brynn[/name_f]:
[name_f]Mari[/name_f]
[name_f]Hattie[/name_f]
[name_f]Hettie[/name_f]
[name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_f]Hallie[/name_f]
[name_u]Josie[/name_u]
Avia
[name_f]Nola[/name_f]
Suri
[name_f]Annie[/name_f]
[name_f]Elin[/name_f]
[name_f]Maren[/name_f]
[name_f]Marit[/name_f]
[name_f]Erin[/name_f]
[name_f]Carys[/name_f]
[name_u]Seren[/name_u]
[name_f]Eleri[/name_f]
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]

I think [name_u]Everly[/name_u] [name_f]Maple[/name_f] is such a great name, and [name_u]Everly[/name_u] and [name_f]Brynn[/name_f] make a great sibset. What gives him pause-- the ever- beginning or the -ley ending?

He never really gives a reason except “I don’t like it”. My name ends in -ley so i dont think that is the issue. I even come up with nicknames ( Eves and Evie) but he is pretty stubborn when he has made up his mind. Naming our babies is a huge challenge for us!

[name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u], [name_f]Carys[/name_f] [name_f]Autumn[/name_f], [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]. :slight_smile:
