Girl Names
1

[name_f]My[/name_f] husband and I continue to be at a stale mate on naming our only daughter due Sept. 1st. I have fallen in love with the vintage but sweet name of [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] and he is holding strong with the names of [name_f]Esme[/name_f] or [name_f]Evelynn[/name_f]. While I like both of his name choices I don’t think [name_f]Esme[/name_f] goes well with our last name (which is [name_m]Anderson[/name_m]) and [name_f]Evelynn[/name_f] has gotten really common. [name_f]My[/name_f] hubby says he doesn’t like [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], no real reason why.

I feel as though I’ve been researching names forever now and still can’t find the “one”, especially one that we can agree on. Any ideas of a name that we both may agree on is greatly needed!!! We both like unique names but not too far out there. I tend to lean more towards classic names and do not want a top 50 popular name.

Thanks to everyone!!!

What about [name_u]Robin[/name_u]? - A mix of [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] and [name_f]Evelynn[/name_f]. It sounds pretty with your last name and isn’t very popular. [name_m]Just[/name_m] my initial thought :slight_smile:

Would he go for [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]?

Other suggestions:
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]
[name_f]Linnea[/name_f] (lin-nay-uh)
Rowenna
[name_u]Eden[/name_u]
[name_f]Evelina[/name_f]
[name_u]Emery[/name_u]
[name_f]Emilia[/name_f]
[name_u]Robin[/name_u]
[name_u]Rudy[/name_u]
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_f]Rita[/name_f]

Maybe you’d both like…

[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] - shares the same ending sound as [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], but is more unusual, like [name_f]Esme[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f]
[name_f]Edith[/name_f] or [name_u]Meredith[/name_u] (nn [name_f]Edie[/name_f] ?)
[name_u]Remi[/name_u]
[name_u]Romy[/name_u] or [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]
[name_f]Ruth[/name_f]
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
