we are expecting a new baby in december, and plan to keep the sex a surprise. wwyd in regards to the split theme and ecclectic group of names?
we currently have:
marin elizabeth (f)
ocean white (m)
pearl frances (f)
and twins, rowan bee (f) and lennox aileen (f)
our first three were sea themed, but when we couldn’t come up with two girl names that we both loved in that theme, we veered off. i had the name rowan ("little redhead) on reserve should our little girl be born w/ red hair as i suspected during pregnancy, and she was…lennox was named after annie lennox since just as she was being born, it began to rain outside.
we give middle names as tribute to family/friends…and we have the names stanley or albin chosen for a boy to honor my father, stanley albin. girl’s middle would be some form of patricia or carol, i imagine…tho not certain just yet.
suggestions always welcome.
With [name]Marin[/name], [name]Ocean[/name], [name]Pearl[/name], [name]Rowan[/name], and [name]Lennox[/name], I’d add:
GIRLS
[name]Clea[/name] ([name]CLAY[/name]-uh)
[name]Iris[/name]
[name]Isolde[/name]
[name]Blythe[/name]
[name]Carys[/name] or [name]Cerys[/name]
[name]Nova[/name]
[name]Estelle[/name]
[name]Flannery[/name]
[name]Larkin[/name] (nn [name]Lark[/name])
[name]Bellamy[/name]
BOYS
[name]Bodhi[/name]
[name]Corin[/name]
[name]Locke[/name]
[name]Sol[/name]
[name]August[/name]
[name]Larkin[/name]
[name]Wilder[/name]
[name]Griffin[/name] (nn [name]Fin[/name])
iris was actually lennox’ name before we changed baby a to rowan…
i love bodhi and sol so much…we have friends whose girl is called soleil, another couple whose son is called wylde and another friend who has a son named larken, so you’re definitely on the right track for our crew…finn was one of ours for the sea-theme, and i’ve considered returning to it, boy or girl.
i should add that if it’s a boy, we will use the middle names stanley or albin to honor my father, stanley albin
Oh, I like [name]Albin[/name]!
for boys:
[name]Finn[/name]
[name]River[/name]
[name]Kai[/name]
[name]Reed[/name]
[name]Tyne[/name]
Seaborne - knew a guy in high school called this, a family name.
and, of course, [name]Albin[/name]
for girls:
[name]Coral[/name]
[name]Nola[/name]
[name]Una[/name]
[name]Kaia[/name]
Some I like for the water-theme:
boy: seaton, reed, caspian, triton
girl: coral, brooke, tallulah
unisex: marlin, river, rain/raine
I also have always liked [name]Celeste[/name] (f) and it seems to fit with your sib set.
I too think [name]Albin[/name] would work, or perhaps you could stretch it to [name]Albion[/name] or over to [name]Alden[/name].
Some more ideas (boy, girl, for whomever):
[name]Harbor[/name]
[name]Ardis[/name] or [name]Andis[/name] (Ahn-dis)
[name]Quill[/name]
[name]Brooks[/name]
[name]Clay[/name]
[name]Wade[/name]
[name]Walden[/name]
[name]Webb[/name]
[name]Fielding[/name] or [name]Fielder[/name]
[name]Ford[/name]
[name]Arno[/name]
[name]Grove[/name]
[name]Auden[/name]
[name]Calder[/name] (for the artist and also meaning “rocky water”
[name]Forrest[/name]
[name]Gale[/name] or [name]Galen[/name]
[name]Halcyon[/name] ([name]Hal[/name])
[name]Juniper[/name]
[name]Linden[/name]
[name]Penrose[/name]
[name]Fifer[/name]
[name]Piper[/name]
[name]Phoenix[/name]
[name]Sage[/name]
[name]Scout[/name]
[name]Sorrell[/name]
[name]Warren[/name]
[name]West[/name]
[name]Winslow[/name] ([name]Win[/name], [name]Lola[/name])
While I threw in some water-related ones, I probably wouldn’t go for an overtly watery name now that two of the crew are outside that theme. In fact, I might look for a surname like [name]Lennox[/name] that also has some nature-y meaning.
thanks for the suggestions! im still at a total loss, but i do love a lot of the names suggested.
