We’re having a hard time choosing a name for baby number 2, due in 5 weeks! We’re both very picky with names - has to be unusual yet “real”. I am totally hooked on [name_f]Daphne[/name_f], I don’t know why, but OH isn’t convinced. Here are some options I’ve come up with. What do you think? Middle names are family names!
I love all of these! [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] sounds the nicest with [name_m]Truman[/name_m] I think, but they would all work and I love the NN [name_u]Ever[/name_u] for [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]. If you’re stuck on [name_f]Daphne[/name_f], would you consider [name_f]Delphi[/name_f] or [name_f]Delphine[/name_f]?
Truman is so sweet! I really love [name_m]Truman[/name_m] and [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] together. [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] [name_f]Valentina[/name_f] is so beautiful, and the nn [name_u]Ren[/name_u] is so cute! [name_f]My[/name_f] second favorite is [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_u]Maria[/name_u], so pretty and [name_u]Ever[/name_u] is such a great nickname!!
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]-[name_f]Daphne[/name_f] is perfect! It’s unusual, yet not at all a made up name. It’s in fact very old Greek! I think that it’s simple too, which is a plus. I kind of like [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_u]Maria[/name_u] more, but either are pretty.
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_u]Maria[/name_u]-This is really nice & goes well w/Truman. I don’t care much for [name_u]Ever[/name_u], but it’s interesting. I like [name_f]Evie[/name_f], [name_f]Vivie[/name_f], [name_f]Ginny[/name_f] or [name_f]Gigi[/name_f] a lot.
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_f]Valentina[/name_f]-I’m not a huge fan of [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] on a girl. It’s kind of boyish sounding in my opinion.
[name_f]Arwen[/name_f]-[name_u]Love[/name_u] that! Perfectly unique yet simple & recognizable. I’m not personally a fan of [name_u]Ren[/name_u]. It sounds kind of harsh to me, but it’s not awful. I’d love [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] nn [name_f]Winnie[/name_f].
If you want [name_f]Daphne[/name_f], push for it! It’s a beautiful name.
Some other options for “[name_u]Ren[/name_u]”:
[name_u]Wren[/name_u]
[name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_u]Arden[/name_u]
[name_f]Rowena[/name_f]
[name_f]Bronwen[/name_f]
[name_f]Ceridwen[/name_f]
For “[name_u]Ever[/name_u]”
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_f]Eve[/name_f]
[name_f]Minerva[/name_f]
I love [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] best out of this list! But only because I associate [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] with Scooby Doo and only Scooby Doo. Without that association, it’s a lovely name.
Rowan and [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] aren’t my personal style (which does not matter one bit!), but they work with [name_m]Truman[/name_m]! You just might have to explain “oh, no, [name_u]Rowan[/name_u]’s the girl and [name_m]Truman[/name_m]’s the boy!” a few times. I’d lean toward [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], though, because [name_f]Arwen[/name_f] and [name_m]Truman[/name_m] sounds more matchy to be (in a rhyme-y way).
I like all your options. [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] is def my fave w [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] being my least fave only because I perf like it’s a little too pop.
