DH does not like classic names and he will not budge. I am starting to warm up to his name list. What do you think of each of these names as far as aging well, current and future popularity, and flow with middle name options ([name]Miriam[/name] or [name]Marie[/name]). What are other names that have a similar feel to our current list that we might be missing?? Thanks so much!
Current list:
[name]Delaney[/name]
[name]Piper[/name]
[name]Avery[/name]
[name]Zoe[/name]
PS- [name]Harper[/name] is out as a close friend just named her baby this.
The only one I truly like is [name]Piper[/name]. [name]Piper[/name] [name]Miriam[/name] would make a great combo as the previous poster suggested! I don’t really like unisex names so much and I have no idea why but [name]Zoe[/name] just really bugs me. I have never been a big fan of the name, sorry!! [name]Piper[/name] is lovely though.
[name]Bree[/name]
[name]Even[/name] though it sounds contemporary, [name]Zoe[/name] is an old name of Byzantine empresses. I think this name would age the best. [name]Zoe[/name] [name]Miriam[/name] would be my first choice for a combo. [name]Avery[/name] is a distant second.
I like [name]Piper[/name] [name]Miriam[/name], [name]Zoe[/name] [name]Miriam[/name] and [name]Delaney[/name] [name]Marie[/name]! Have you considered [name]Channing[/name] [name]Marie[/name]?
I have a friend who has two girls - [name]Channing[/name] and [name]Delaney[/name].
[name]Love[/name] [name]Piper[/name] and [name]Zoe[/name]! I think [name]Piper[/name] [name]Miriam[/name] and [name]Zoe[/name] [name]Miriam[/name] are both very sweet.
I agree with mischa! [name]Zoe[/name] [name]Miriam[/name] or [name]Avery[/name] [name]Miriam[/name] would be my two choices.
Another suggestion is [name]Hadley[/name] [name]Miriam[/name].
Well I have an [name]Avery[/name] [name]Marie[/name], so that is my pick To be honest, I wasn’t all that keen on the rhymey first and middle but [name]Marie[/name] is of family significance so that over-ruled. We also considered [name]Piper[/name], it is so cute!! [name]Piper[/name] [name]Marie[/name] or [name]Piper[/name] [name]Miriam[/name] both sound great. I know 5 little [name]Zoe[/name]'s, so it’s very popular where I am from. Cute name though.
Others I like that you may as well:
[name]Quinn[/name]
[name]Hadley[/name]
[name]Marlowe[/name]
[name]Sage[/name]
I love [name]Zoe[/name] [name]Miriam[/name]! I had [name]Zoe[/name] [name]Miriam[/name] [name]Elise[/name] on my own list for a while! I really, strongly dislike [name]Piper[/name] and [name]Avery[/name] is my favorite boys name. [name]Delaney[/name] isn’t my style, but I do think it is cute on a girl. Especially with the nn [name]Laney[/name]. [name]Delaney[/name] [name]Marie[/name] and [name]Delaney[/name] [name]Miriam[/name] sound good.
[name]Delaney[/name] - not a big fan, but it has a nice enough sound. [name]Daphne[/name]? [name]Darcey[/name]? [name]Alaina[/name] (nn [name]Laney[/name])?
[name]Piper[/name] - love [name]Piper[/name]! what about [name]Clover[/name]? [name]Ember[/name]? [name]Maple[/name]? [name]Ever[/name]? [name]Petra[/name]? [name]Coral[/name]? [name]Sage[/name]?
[name]Avery[/name] - love this name! also [name]Everly[/name]? [name]Amory[/name]? [name]Henley[/name]? [name]Liberty[/name] (nn [name]Libby[/name])? Revily?
[name]Zoe[/name] - beautiful! I know a little one who was just named this. Other similar: [name]Chloe[/name], [name]Tessa[/name], [name]Zara[/name], [name]Ivy[/name], [name]Gemma[/name], [name]Fiona[/name]
Thanks for the suggestions! What are thoughts on [name]Hattie[/name]? ([name]Just[/name] read a magazine article on [name]Tori[/name] Spelling’s kids). Is is too nicknamey?
I think [name]Zoe[/name] best straddles the line between modern and classic. It is, after all, a 2500-yr-old name which is very popular. And [name]Zoe[/name] [name]Miriam[/name] works quite well.
I dislike [name]Hattie[/name]. It starts with ‘hat.’ It’s faux-folksy. It won’t age well, and it’s not very pretty.
From your list, I love [name]Avery[/name]. Im biased! I have an [name]Avery[/name]! [name]Avery[/name] [name]Marie[/name] or [name]Avery[/name] [name]Miriam[/name] are very sweet! My vote would go to [name]Avery[/name] [name]Miriam[/name], just because it is less common that [name]Marie[/name].
You mentioned [name]Hattie[/name]. I don’t think it’s stands as a name by itself, but what about [name]Hadley[/name], nn [name]Hattie[/name]?
To be honest, I wasn’t all that keen on the rhymey first and middle but [name]Marie[/name] is of family significance so that over-ruled. We also considered [name]Piper[/name], it is so cute!! [name]Piper[/name] [name]Marie[/name] or [name]Piper[/name] [name]Miriam[/name] both sound great. I know 5 little [name]Zoe[/name]'s, so it’s very popular where I am from. Cute name though.
