[name_m]Hi[/name_m] all! This is my first post here 
I love this website and am hoping to get some feedback/suggestions for names. Hubby and I are due with our 3rd child this [name_u]December[/name_u], a girl! We have a 7yr old son, [name_u]Tristan[/name_u] [name_m]Clay[/name_m], and a 4yr old daughter, Maddision [name_f]Marie[/name_f]. Hubby and I have been talking names for a while now, and just haven’t had any luck finding the one that makes us go “that’s it!”.
Here are our thoughts on finding a name - we want something somewhat not-so-common, but also not so “out there” NO ONE has ever heard of it, or knows how to spell it. Bonus points if the name ends with “n” like our first 2 kiddos - my OCD side is hoping for that, but we haven’t found the right name. I should also note, our last name starts with an A, and ends with a strong E sound, so in general names that start with A are out, or names that end with an E sound - like [name_u]Ashley[/name_u] - would probably make the name rhyme a little too much.
Here are some of Hubby’s favorite names:
Eowin (pronounced A-oh-win) - I think it’s pretty, but a little too unique, and is setting her up for some struggles when people try to pronounce her name when reading it off a class roster, and vice versa trying to spell it after hearing it.
[name_f]Cassia[/name_f] - I’m not quite sure about this one. Almost seems too simple…
[name_f]Tamsyn[/name_f] - Sounds like a boy name to me! He got it from a TV show he watches.
Here are some of my favorite names:
Emberleigh - I love it! It doesn’t end in N, but it’s still my top pick. It would kind of rhyme with our last name, but because of the other syllables, it draws emphasis to the first name, and doesn’t sound too sing-song. Also suggested using “[name_u]Ember[/name_u]” as her first name, and “[name_u]Leigh[/name_u]” as her middle name (2 birds with 1 stone!), and [name_u]Ember[/name_u] with our last name sounds great! But Hubby says “sounds too much like [name_f]Amber[/name_f]”.
[name_u]Haven[/name_u] - Hubby says it’s too close to “heaven” (we’re not real religious)
[name_f]Savannah[/name_f] - Hubby is not a fan.
Some other names we’ve tossed around that we both kind of like, are [name_f]Gemma[/name_f]/[name_f]Jemma[/name_f] (I like “G”, he likes “J”), [name_f]Natalie[/name_f], and [name_f]Octavia[/name_f] - however NO ONE we have asked about name opinions has liked [name_f]Octavia[/name_f].
As far as middle names, we’re leaning towards using [name_u]Lynn[/name_u] (both our mom’s middle names are [name_u]Lynn[/name_u]), or [name_u]Leigh[/name_u] (my dad’s middle name is [name_u]Lee[/name_u]) - depending on the first name.
Any suggestions?
