We found out yesterday that we’re having a boy and a girl Exciting! We’ve managed to narrow down our list somewhat and are now trying to pair names up. Which do you like best out of these?
B: [name_u]Elias[/name_u], [name_m]Elijah[/name_m], [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] or [name_m]Zachary[/name_m] and
G: [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], [name_f]Cecily[/name_f], [name_f]Edith[/name_f], [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f], [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], [name_f]Florence[/name_f], [name_f]Frances[/name_f], [name_f]Imogen[/name_f], [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] or [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
We’re not wanting ‘matchy names’ so we wouldn’t use two E names together or something like [name_m]Zachary[/name_m] & [name_f]Cecily[/name_f], [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], etc. Thanks for the help!
[name_f]Cecily[/name_f] and [name_u]Elias[/name_u]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] and [name_m]Zachary[/name_m]
[name_f]Florence[/name_f] and [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] and [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] & [name_f]Florence[/name_f] (my number one pick along with [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] and [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f])
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] & [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] & [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] (although I prefer [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] & [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f])
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] & [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] & [name_f]Cecily[/name_f]
[name_m]Zachary[/name_m] & [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_m]Zachary[/name_m] & [name_f]Imogen[/name_f]
[name_u]Elias[/name_u] & [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
I also love [name_f]Edith[/name_f] but she is hard to pair up (I would not like the alteration with [name_u]Elias[/name_u]/[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] and [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] and [name_m]Zachary[/name_m] both feel too long to pair with [name_f]Edith[/name_f]).
DH wasn’t having [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] but likes [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]… [name_m]Don[/name_m]’t ask, I don’t understand him either lol.
I struggled with [name_f]Edith[/name_f] too. [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] is the only boy’s name that I quite like it with. We also don’t want to E names together or anything ‘matchy’
My favorites in no particular order are:
[name_m]Zachary[/name_m] & [name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] & [name_f]Florence[/name_f]/[name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_u]Elias[/name_u] & [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] & [name_f]Florence[/name_f]
My favorites, top down:
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] and [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] and [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_m]Zachary[/name_m] and [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] and [name_f]Imogen[/name_f]
Congratulations! I think [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] and [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] or [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] and [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] would be my top choice, but [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] and [name_u]Elias[/name_u] is really lovely too!
[name_u]Elias[/name_u] - very trendy and reminds me of a waterfall (not sure why)
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] - strongly dislike
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] - love it especially with the nn Sebi but I can’t help but think of all the bullying it might cause
[name_m]Zachary[/name_m] - very handsome
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] - beautiful!
[name_f]Cecily[/name_f] - I can never remember the pronunciation. I always think cecil-lee. Other than that I love it.
[name_f]Edith[/name_f] - don’t like this name
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] - dislike a lot
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] - love love love it
[name_f]Florence[/name_f] - love this name but I always think of the period app, [name_f]Flo[/name_f], lmao. I love the nickname [name_f]Flora[/name_f] though. It makes me like the name even more.
[name_f]Frances[/name_f] - beautiful for as a middle
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] - I don’t like this but it’s starting to grow on me
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] - love this name but it’s becoming popular.
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] - not a huge fan but it’s unique
Combos:
[name_m]Zachary[/name_m] [name_u]Elias[/name_u] and [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f]
[name_u]Elias[/name_u] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] and [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] ([name_m]Eli[/name_m] and [name_f]Bea[/name_f])
Is there teasing potential for [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]/[name_m]Seb[/name_m]? I see it with [name_f]Flo[/name_f] for [name_f]Florence[/name_f] which is why we’ve now taken it off our list as we sadly can’t use [name_f]Flora[/name_f] - it rhymes with our eldest’s name. I don’t get it from [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] though… Maybe it’s a location thing? We don’t live in the US.
As much as it would help us choose/use up our names, we have a bit of theme going on with our children’s middle names therefore these can’t be used lol.
I think we’re now looking at
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] &
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], [name_f]Cecily[/name_f] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], [name_f]Frances[/name_f], [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] or [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] &
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], [name_f]Cecily[/name_f], [name_f]Elodie[/name_f], [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], [name_f]Frances[/name_f] or [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_m]Zachary[/name_m] &
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f], [name_f]Frances[/name_f] or
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f]
Exciting! We’ve managed to narrow down our list somewhat and are now trying to pair names up. Which do you like best out of these?
