my husband and I just found out the genders of our IVF twins due in [name_u]March[/name_u], and we are expecting one of each gender! I’ve been lurking on the forums collecting names but didn’t want to join until we knew the genders, and now we know, I really want to get the names all sorted!
We like uncommon names and we are looking for something fairly uncommon for our babies
For a girl:
Julisabel - A family name, pronounced Ju-liss-a-belle. Too weird?
Julip/Julep - Another name with meaning for us.
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f]
[name_f]Timothea[/name_f] NN [name_u]Timmie[/name_u] or [name_f]Thea[/name_f]
[name_f]Amoret[/name_f]
[name_f]Sabrina[/name_f]
[name_f]Isolde[/name_f]
[name_f]Marceline[/name_f]
[name_m]Cobie[/name_m]
As you can tell our lists are all over the place, and my well is running fairly dry. I feel like I need some new name ideas! So does anyone have any suggestions? I would be extremely happy to hear them!
[name_m]Just[/name_m] thought I would post since we have some favorite names in common
Julisabel - sorry, not a fan, but there aren’t many names that end in -bel that I do like. I like [name_f]Julisa[/name_f]…
Julip/Julep - I like it! It did make me think of the mint julep drink, but also of tulips.
[name_f]Clementine[/name_f] - love! [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Eternal[/name_f] [name_f]Sunshine[/name_f] of a Spotless Mind!
[name_f]Timothea[/name_f] NN [name_u]Timmie[/name_u] or [name_f]Thea[/name_f] - not a fan, but I love [name_f]Thea[/name_f]!
[name_f]Amoret[/name_f] - beautiful!
[name_f]Sabrina[/name_f] - makes me think of [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] Hepburn
[name_f]Isolde[/name_f] - nice and unique
[name_f]Marceline[/name_f] - not my fav. I did know someone named [name_f]Marcelle[/name_f]. [name_f]Marcella[/name_f] is nice too.
[name_m]Cobie[/name_m] - it’s cute and unexpected, but your other names are much better, I think. Could make a good mn.
For boys:
[name_m]Atlas[/name_m] - love!!
[name_m]Evander[/name_m] - also love! [name_u]Love[/name_u] the meaning and that it is unusual but sounds familiar!
[name_m]Soren[/name_m] - I like, but don’t like the meaning.
[name_m]Vaughn[/name_m] - love! Makes me think of Alias.
[name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] - I do love the meaning but it is nms, maybe could be a mn? I like it better for a girl.
[name_m]Timothy[/name_m] - nice, but I like your more unusual names better.
[name_m]Percival[/name_m] ([name_u]Percy[/name_u]) - love the [name_f]Scarlet[/name_f] pimpernel! I wish I loved this name, but it is nms. Also like it better for a girl.
[name_m]Anderson[/name_m] - okay, I like your others better.
My favorites from your lists are [name_f]Clementine[/name_f], [name_f]Timothea[/name_f], [name_f]Sabrina[/name_f], [name_f]Isolde[/name_f], and [name_f]Marceline[/name_f] for a girl; and [name_m]Evander[/name_m], [name_m]Soren[/name_m], [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m], [name_m]Timothy[/name_m] and [name_m]Percival[/name_m] for a boy. I’d use Julisabel or Julip/Julep as a mn-- although maybe [name_f]Julisa[/name_f] as a fn. [name_m]Cobie[/name_m] doesn’t seem to fit with your other names, so maybe consider it for a mn too? On the boy side, maybe [name_m]Anderson[/name_m] as a mn?
Oh wow - congratulations! [name_m]How[/name_m] exciting to be expecting one of each.
I love [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] and [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] on your girl list and would use [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] or [name_f]Iseult[/name_f] myself if OH hadn’t vetoed. If you’re after less common then I’d choose [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] over [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] as the latter seems to be on an exponential rise over here (UK). Would you consider [name_f]Clemency[/name_f] as an alternative? I really like Julep too but would avoid Julisabel; a bit ‘creative’ for my tastes and (I think) hard to match in a sibset.
Again, if I had my druthers my next big would be [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m]… But I don’t so he shan’t be. Please use it ”. [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m] and [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] is pretty much my perfect combo…
