I am still many months away but trying to construct a list of both boy and girl names that we can work from. Out last name starts with “M” and has two syllables. No alliteration please. Both [name_u]Vivian[/name_u]'s middle name and the new baby’s middle names are family names (last names). I tend to like names with a slight vintage feel but could have a more modern and younger nickname–[name_u]Vivian[/name_u]'s nickname is [name_f]Vivi[/name_f]. Elegant, intelligent names but not extremely popular. Brilliant Nameberries, please help add to my list Here are the names we like so far:
Boys:
[name_m]Desmond[/name_m] ([name_m]Dez[/name_m] or [name_u]Desi[/name_u])
[name_m]Gavin[/name_m] (too edgy to go with [name_u]Vivian[/name_u]???)
[name_u]James[/name_u] (a bit too popular)
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m] (I have Latin American roots and this has been the only boy name to easily work but doesn’t quite fit with [name_u]Vivian[/name_u])
Girls:
[name_f]Zara[/name_f] (the name I am currently most excited about)
[name_f]Isabel[/name_f] (I have loved this name forever but I am too discouraged by its popularity)
Thanks for the help and suggestions!!
