Hello berrys!
We are currently ttc #3 to join [name]Lila[/name] (leela) [name]Avel[/name]!ne and Mir” Thelon!us L!ghtn!ng hyphenated last name. We like nature names and names musician/artist names. Nothing too popular. We have list of names left over from our 2 older children BUT nothing seems right.
boys
[name]Zephyr[/name]- this was THE name I wanted for our son but now I feel like it doesn’t go
[name]Matisse[/name]- not that hot on 2 “M” names
[name]Hendrix[/name]- trying too hard?
[name]River[/name]- feels over done
americo (family name) only for a middle
[name]Maxwell[/name] (family name but too pop for me)
[name]Tennessee[/name]- dont like nn ten or tenny
[name]Stetson[/name]
[name]Boaz[/name]
girls
[name]Paloma[/name]- i like it more than he does
[name]Clementine[/name]- too long? DH LOVES this
[name]Delphina[/name]/[name]Delfina[/name]- too old fashion for sib set
[name]Zinnia[/name]- I dont really want another “a” ending name
[name]Juniper[/name]- not hot on nn
[name]Gwenyth[/name]
[name]Ocean[/name]
Please suggest some names that you think will work. Keep in mind that we want 4 kids so we don’t want to get stuck in a theme like “A” ending for girls or 4 letters long names.
Hmmm, let’s see what I can come with. Here are some basic suggestions based on the fact that you like artsy names and nature names. [name]Hope[/name] this helps!
Girls:
[name]Carys[/name]/[name]Cerys[/name]
[name]Luna[/name]
[name]Piper[/name]
[name]Iris[/name]
[name]Neve[/name]
[name]Soleil[/name]
[name]Saffron[/name]
[name]Taryn[/name]
[name]Philippa[/name] (apparently, one of [name]Salvador[/name] Dali’s many names was [name]Felipe[/name])
[name]Sunday[/name] (another one of Dali’s names was [name]Domingo[/name])
Boys:
[name]Felix[/name] (its got the cool ‘x’ ending, but is less ‘try-hard’ than [name]Hendrix[/name] is)
[name]Silas[/name]
[name]Rowan[/name] (it many be going to the girls, but [name]Rowan[/name] is all male to me)
[name]Cyrus[/name]
[name]Bodhi[/name]
[name]Pavel[/name] (variation of [name]Pablo[/name], possibly after [name]Pablo[/name] [name]Picasso[/name])
[name]Dominic[/name] (in honor of [name]El[/name] [name]Greco[/name], who’s real name was [name]Dom[/name]”nikos Theotok”poulos)
I actually think [name]Zephyr[/name] fits the set perfectly! Its a bit “out there” and artsy, similar to Mir”, and its -yr/er ending makes it sound familiar with all the little [name]Cooper[/name]'s and [name]Jasper[/name]'s running around. Its also a nature name, related to wind I believe, making it a beautiful match with [name]Lila[/name]. I think you should go for it! [name]Lila[/name], Mir”, and [name]Zephyr[/name] sound awesome
I also really like [name]Lila[/name], Miro, and [name]Sunday[/name]. They are all artsy names, but this way, each has an individual feel.
I have always wanted to name my kids after jazz musicians. I love your choice in[name]Thelonius[/name]! Talk about a cool name for your kid, epsecially a boy! Some of my favs is that category…
Boy
[name]Django[/name]
[name]Miles[/name]
[name]Porter[/name]
[name]Chet[/name]
[name]Vaughan[/name]
[name]Coltrane[/name]
[name]Duke[/name]
[name]Mingus[/name]
Thank you so much for your input. I like the idea of [name]Sunday[/name] but dont really like the nn sunny. [name]Neve[/name], [name]Saffron[/name] and [name]Iris[/name] was on our list. [name]Luna[/name] is too close to [name]Lila[/name] but I really like the name. I am glad that you think [name]Zephyr[/name] goes in the sibset. I feel like Bohdi is getting too hipster so I’m thinking [name]Boaz[/name] or basil.
I am glad you like [name]Thelonius[/name] it has not been well recieved by my family and friends but I love it and would have gladly given him [name]Thelonius[/name] as a first name but DH didnt like it enough. We like [name]Milo[/name] but too close to Mir”. On the girls list i like [name]Etta[/name] possibly as a nn for violetta but i fear that [name]Etta[/name] will be the next [name]Ella[/name].
Thank you for saying you love my kids names, I know its not everyones cup of tea. I like many on your list. For boys we had [name]Rio[/name] as one of our final 3 names but know we cannot use it as it is so similar to Mir”. I like [name]Caspian[/name] DH doesnt. I like [name]Wren[/name] but like [name]Gwenyth[/name] even more. [name]Gwenyth[/name] feels so much different from my kids names but i really love its softness. I do really love [name]Cosmo[/name] but the babies last name is Coffin so may sound silly together. I like alliterations like [name]Clementine[/name] Coffin or [name]Cassius[/name] Coffin but [name]Cosmo[/name] COffin seems to abrupt. WDYT? Thank you for your list, [name]Meryl[/name]
Dear [name]Leah[/name] 9,
I do love [name]Aster[/name] and [name]Petra[/name]! A friend of mine already used [name]Petra[/name] so its out. [name]Jude[/name] is an all time fave of mine but its too pop now. I like [name]Briar[/name] but we have 4 Brians in our extended family so I feel its too close. Thank you for your list so many good names.
