Arlo, Rhea, &

Hello Nameberries!

Are you ready for a name challenge? Ha!

I am expecting my third child and feeling totally stumped! With my other two children, we’ve created a theme I’d like to stick with. I like the idea of a 4 letter name, a name with vowel sounds, and something old, unique, but not made up sounding…

My son’s name is Arlo Morris and my daughter is Rhea Rosemary. Both middle names are family names. Out last name is Scottish and begins with an M.

So far hubby and I are considering these names, but nothing feels quite right yet…

Girls: Wren, Nev, Keeva, Jane, Esme, Ellie
Hubby loves Winona

Boys: Felix, Kit, Finn, Odin, Ellis

Would love to hear your suggestions!

I think Ellis and Kit are perfect for your boy names!

Girls… maybe:

Faye
Charlotte “Lottie?”
Tess
Helen
Fern

:woman_shrugging:t3::heartpulse: love love love your current sibset! And congrats:)

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

Here are my thoughts on the ‘not quite right’ lists:

Girls-

Wren-It’s not my favorite. I like it in theory. It has all of the good qualities; sleek, kind, nature-y, pretty bird imagery, not terribly over done but fairly simple. I just feel like it has a bland sound.

Nev-This seems lacking. Like [name_f]Neve[/name_f] would look better, but then people might say ‘Neeve’. I actually much prefer [name_f]Niamh[/name_f] to either (said Neeve) [name_u]Nev[/name_u] or [name_f]Neve[/name_f]. It’s a little tricky, but it’s unique & polished & feminine w/out being frilly. Really great w/Arlo & [name_f]Rhea[/name_f] too.

Keeva-I feel like this looks kind of modern & off…but I like the Irish (i.e. more difficult!) spelling of [name_f]Caoimhe[/name_f] a lot.

Jane-Even though it’s so ‘plain’ (not in a bad way!), I kind of love it w/your sibling set.

Esme-I love love [name_f]Esme[/name_f]. Definitely my favorite of the group. It’s so magical sounding, but still feels down to earth & not fussy.

Ellie-I adore [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], but mainly as a nn. Also, it’s super duper popular, so you’d probably not prefer to use it for that reason.

Boys-

Felix-This is really cute w/Arlo & [name_f]Rhea[/name_f]. Not my personal favorite. I feel like it sounds cartoon-ish. And I’m totally in the minority, because people seem to like it.

Kit-Feels more upper-crust than [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] & [name_f]Rhea[/name_f], but it’s a darling name. Short, simple, smart, spunky, not too popular.

Finn-I love it. I love it w/your sibling set as well. It’s so friendly & sporty & lovable, but also sounds very put together. It may be getting a tad popular.

Odin-This feels perfect too, & is not getting a tad popular.

Ellis-I like it. I think it’s handsome & charming for a boy. Maybe getting used on girls some.

Sorry for any repeats, but here are a few that you may like:

[name_f]My[/name_f] hubby actually loves Basil… the nn [name_m]Bas[/name_m] is cute, but I think it feels a little too refined for me.

I also love [name_m]Innes[/name_m]!

Thanks :blush:

I think [name_u]Finn[/name_u] is my favourite too, although I do know 2 kids with the same name in our community. It fits so well and is super cute!

Thanks so much for all your ideas!

From your current list, [name_u]Arlo[/name_u], [name_f]Rhea[/name_f], and [name_m]Odin[/name_m] would sound soooo perfect! Really liking [name_u]Kit[/name_u] and [name_f]Esme[/name_f] as well.

How about [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] for a girl?

I love [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] and had thought about going with [name_f]Mavis[/name_f] (my maternal grandmothers name) with the nn [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], but alas, hubby doesn’t like it!

Other names I love that he had vetoed: [name_u]Briar[/name_u], [name_u]River[/name_u], [name_u]Aspen[/name_u], [name_m]Ivar[/name_m], and [name_u]Bodhi[/name_u]

It’d be so much easier to choose if we didnt have to agree, haha :sweat_smile:

[name_f]Esme[/name_f] or [name_m]Felix[/name_m]!

[name_f]My[/name_f] hubby loves [name_m]Cecil[/name_m] and has been referring to the baby with that name! It’s cute, but I think it has too much of a refined sound to it.

I love, love [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] and [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]!

Thank you :blush:

[name_m]Lief[/name_m] is on my list too!!

Thanks for the ideas :blush:

On the contrary I think both [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] and [name_m]Cecil[/name_m] are old semi forgotten boys names so they weld nicely together. [name_f]Rhea[/name_f] also shares the same forgotten charm

[name_u]Arlo[/name_u], [name_f]Rhea[/name_f] and [name_m]Odin[/name_m] :heart_eyes::heart_eyes::heart_eyes: im in love
