We are having a third sweet baby girl this fall and I think I found a name I’m in love with, but I’m nervous about what others may think. Some of the other forums on the web have some very positive feedback on it, and then some, not so much.
The name is [name_u]Saylor[/name_u]. I fell in love with it when I found it when googling [name_u]Baby[/name_u] Girl #2’s name. A beautiful [name_u]Saylor[/name_u] [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] came up, with newborn photos, and I had already decided my second would be [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] but I never got [name_u]Saylor[/name_u] out of my head. [name_f]My[/name_f] oldest DD is [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] and my second is [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_f]Cate[/name_f]. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband likes [name_u]Saylor[/name_u] but is still deciding. I have tried to find other names that I like and would actually use, and the only other one I came up with is [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f], nn, [name_f]Mira[/name_f]. After running that through my head a few weeks, it just does not have the appeal to me that [name_u]Saylor[/name_u] has. I haven’t come up with a lot definitive middle name yet but my ideas are:
[name_u]Saylor[/name_u] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f]
[name_u]Saylor[/name_u] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_u]Saylor[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] (sounds so pretty but I don’t love filler middle names)
[name_u]Saylor[/name_u] [name_u]Drew[/name_u]
[name_u]Saylor[/name_u] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_u]Saylor[/name_u] [name_f]Mirabel[/name_f]
[name_u]Saylor[/name_u] [name_f]Alana[/name_f]
[name_u]Saylor[/name_u] [name_u]Vivian[/name_u]
[name_u]Saylor[/name_u] [name_f]Coraline[/name_f]
I don’t really think that [name_u]Saylor[/name_u] fits with [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] and [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]-- it’s very trendy and not vintage like your other names. What about moving it to the mn position? Similar names that I think would fit better with your sibset: [name_f]Sadie[/name_f], [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f], [name_f]Esther[/name_f], [name_f]Lorraine[/name_f], [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], [name_f]Lenore[/name_f], [name_f]Helena[/name_f], [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f], [name_f]Gloria[/name_f], [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], [name_f]Corrine[/name_f], [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f], [name_f]Georgia[/name_f], [name_f]Muriel[/name_f], [name_f]Moira[/name_f], [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], [name_u]Vivian[/name_u], [name_f]Roxanne[/name_f].
I was a little worried about that too, but honestly, while the names you listed and other similar vintage names are pretty, only a few fit my taste, and I find them too predictable. I do think [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] is very much an older name, but [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] also has a trendy feel to me, and sounds cute with [name_u]Saylor[/name_u]. And [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] goes by [name_f]Addie[/name_f]. ???
[name_u]Saylor[/name_u] is beautiful, don’t be discouraged! I know [name_f]Rose[/name_f] may seem like a filler, but with the right name, it’s gorgeous! [name_u]Saylor[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is pretty but if you want the same vintage feel, I’d use the equally beautiful:
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_u]Saylor[/name_u]
Or
[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_u]Saylor[/name_u]
But still, use [name_u]Saylor[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] if you want! However, if you use one of the above, you have [name_f]Addie[/name_f], [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], and [name_f]Rosie[/name_f]. Adorable!
Good luck with baby girl number three! She’ll be beautiful!
[name_u]Saylor[/name_u] is NMS at all. It feels very ‘made-up’ because, well, it is. [name_u]Sailor[/name_u], however, I love. I know it’s only one letter different but the latter looks so much better imo. You might be worried about her getting teased about being a literal sailor but there’s so many kids with occupational names like [name_u]Hunter[/name_u] and [name_u]Piper[/name_u] and they don’t seem to face any teasing due to their names.
I agree that it doesn’t necessarily fit perfectly with your other childrens’ names, as [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] and [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] are quite classic, but it doesn’t seem totally out of place to me either. In fact [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] and [name_u]Sailor[/name_u] have a similar feel imo.
I too believe that [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] and [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] are quite old fashioned classical names. [name_u]Saylor[/name_u] kind of sounds masculine with 2 sisters that have distinctively feminine names and I believe she would seem like odd man out: step child etc… (although I have always liked boy names with girls-only if a sister has a similar boy name)
Why not [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] [name_u]Saylor[/name_u] *calling her [name_f]Tori[/name_f] or [name_f]Toria[/name_f] for a nn
[name_f]Mirabelle[/name_f] [name_u]Saylor[/name_u] : [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Mira[/name_f] (but please don’t call her [name_f]Mary[/name_f]…[name_f]Merry[/name_f] [name_u]Saylor[/name_u]…
[name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f] [name_u]Saylor[/name_u]
[name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] [name_u]Saylor[/name_u]
I’m considering [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] [name_u]Saylor[/name_u], I do think [name_f]Tory[/name_f] is nice. I agree, I feel like [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] and [name_u]Sailor[/name_u] have the same feel, and it’s part of what’s attracting me to the name. I’ll have to consider the spelling [name_u]Sailor[/name_u] more… I agree, very much like [name_u]Piper[/name_u] (which I love). [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_u]Saylor[/name_u], nn, [name_f]Rosie[/name_f], is very cute too. I just think I prefer each girl to have their own beginning letter, I know that sounds silly.
It’s not silly, I know it’s an issue for most I’m personally not a fan of [name_f]Victoria[/name_f], but it fits. Others could be:
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_u]Saylor[/name_u]/[name_u]Sailor[/name_u] “[name_f]Carrie[/name_f]”
[name_f]Madeline[/name_f]/[name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] [name_u]Saylor[/name_u]/[name_u]Sailor[/name_u] “[name_f]Ellie[/name_f]” (I detest [name_f]Maddie[/name_f] plus it’s too similar to [name_f]Addie[/name_f])
[name_u]Julie[/name_u] [name_u]Saylor[/name_u]/[name_u]Sailor[/name_u]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_u]Saylor[/name_u]/[name_u]Sailor[/name_u]
[name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_u]Saylor[/name_u]/[name_u]Sailor[/name_u]
[name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_u]Saylor[/name_u]/[name_u]Sailor[/name_u]
I was going to suggest [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] nn [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f], but you already have [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_f]Cate[/name_f]
[name_u]Sailor[/name_u]/[name_u]Saylor[/name_u] is not my style at all. All I think about is the phrase, “Swears like a sailor” when I hear it. Plus it sounds very masculine next to your other girls. I think it would just fine as a middle name though.
Honestly, I don’t care for [name_u]Saylor[/name_u]. It is in the category of names like [name_u]Piper[/name_u], [name_u]Scout[/name_u], [name_u]Schyler[/name_u], that I’m not fond of. However, if you love it, that’s what is most important. These are what I would like to see with [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] and [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]:
