Baby name for E velyn Jisoo Sibling - English + Korean Name

Name Advice
1

Hello. I am looking for names for our baby on the way. We don’t know gender, so we are looking for boy names and girl names. My husband is Korean so we will give Korean middle name.

Our first is E velyn Jisoo. The family character for the Korean is Ji, so the Korean middle name will start with Ji.

As for baby names, according to the quiz on nameberry, I like “rare and unusual names with an element of familiarity and warmth” and also “romantic names such as those with ties to literature or history”. I think the sound of a name is really important to me (like the actual vowels and sounds that are made when saying the name). I also do want my child’s name to have good imagery (positive imagery) and I like nature-evoking imagery as well. (For example, I love the name Briar, but I don’t like how it’s associated with thorns which would be a negative thing).

Here are some of my hearted names:

Arden
Ari (cant use as is too close to Airee family name)
Arwen
Ash
Aspen
Aura
Briar
Bryar
Clover
Denmark
Eden
Edward
Emma
Finnian
Gemma
Glenn
Grey
Irene (my grandmas name )
Iris
Ivy
Jade
Nora
Oakly
Opal
Rae
Ro
Ronan
Rowan
Sage
Seren
Sienna
Sierra
Skye
Sorin
Sparrow
Suuren
Sylvie
Vera
WIllow
Wren

For the middle name I have a few conditions. My husband really wants the name to start with Ji. I am okay with that or a Native Korean name. I don’t want the name to sound too similar to Jisoo (a name like Jiwoo is great, but sounds too similar)

Here are considered names for the middle name: (M = masculine, MM= very masculine F= Feminine, FF= very feminine) I also include the ranking for popularity

Male: Jihun 지훈(18 MM), Jiwoon 지운(177 MM), Jiyong 지용(241, MM), Jioong 지웅(249, MM), Jiheon 지헌(438 MM), Jihyeong 지형(715 M), Jitae 지태 (1074 MM, husbands fav), Jiun 지운(177 MM)

Female: Jiyoon/Jiyun 지윤(16 FF), Jieun 지은(73 FF, husbands fav), Jiwon 지원(27 F), Jihyeon 지현(83 F), Jiyeon 지연(107 F), Jieon 지언(614 F)

I also like the native Korean names Nari 나리(Lily) and Danbi 단비(welcome rain / timely rain) for a girl. My husband said he is okay with Iseul 이슬(Dew) and Yeoreum 여름(Summer) for a girl. I like Iseul, but it is also one of my close friends Korean name so it does have that connotation!

The last name is similar to Li for reference.

Please give me your best suggestions on names I haven’t thought of, as well as your best suggestions and combos for English and Korean name for both a boy and a girl. Thank you!!

I know very little about Korean names, pronunciation, meanings etc but do find Jitae appealing for a boy. It might be good to choose a middle without ‘oo’ to differentiate from big sis?

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Nari[/name_f] and Danbi are both super cute and Iseul is really lovely [name_f][/name_f]- great nature meanings too which matches the nature vibe of many names on your list.
