We are having a girl in late [name_f]February[/name_f], and can’t find a name that grabs us. We have a son named [name_m]Archie[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] (yes just [name_m]Archie[/name_m], not [name_m]Archibald[/name_m] :)). Both of his names are from grandfathers - one on my side and one on my husband’s. We love the idea of using a name from each side of our family with our little girl as well, but haven’t found the combo that really jumps out at us:
Names we’re considering from my side:
[name_f]Kathryn[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f]
Names from his side:
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]
[name_f]Elinor[/name_f]
Top combinations we’re thinking of are (in no particular order):
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f] [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Elinor[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Nora[/name_f]) [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f]
[name_f]Kathryn[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Kate[/name_f]) [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]
Any other great combinations we just haven’t seen? We both actually really love [name_f]Kate[/name_f] but aren’t sure it pairs so well with an old-fashioned-y name like [name_m]Archie[/name_m].
My son is [name_m]Harry[/name_m] - not [name_m]Harrison[/name_m] or [name_m]Harold[/name_m] - so I love [name_m]Archie[/name_m]
[name_f]Kate[/name_f] is sweet and simple, and I think [name_m]Archie[/name_m] and [name_f]Kate[/name_f] sound quite precocious and adorable together.
[name_f]IMO[/name_f], I would go with either [name_f]Nora[/name_f] or [name_f]Kate[/name_f] but not use the full names, and make it clear they are in honor of [name_f]Elinor[/name_f]/[name_f]Kathryn[/name_f]. [name_m]Archie[/name_m] and [name_f]Nora[/name_f] are quite cute as well.
I think [name_f]Kate[/name_f] goes well with [name_m]Archie[/name_m]. [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] and [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f] [name_f]Elinor[/name_f] are both nice.
I like…
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Elinor[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
If you can get away with using [name_f]Kate[/name_f] instead of [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f]…
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]
[name_f]Elinor[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]
If not [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f] works as well! (I just prefer [name_f]Kate[/name_f] to [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f])
[name_f]Kate[/name_f] [name_f]Elinor[/name_f] on its own is perfect to me! If you prefer [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f], I’d suggest [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]
I absolutely love the name [name_f]Kate[/name_f] with [name_m]Archie[/name_m]. I think they pair well together. I do like the name [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] as well. I think [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] ([name_f]Bea[/name_f]) would fit very well with [name_m]Archie[/name_m]. Good luck!
I actually think [name_m]Archie[/name_m] and [name_f]Kate[/name_f] work extremely well together. It feels like a very British sibset to me, for some reason.
My favorite of your options are [name_f]Elinor[/name_f] “[name_f]Nora[/name_f]” [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f] and [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f], with [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] as my third choice. If I could make some suggestions, though, I love the idea of [name_f]Elinor[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] (a little cliche, but I like it), and [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f] [name_f]Elinor[/name_f]. I actually really love [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] [name_f]Elinor[/name_f] and [name_f]Elinor[/name_f] [name_f]Georgia[/name_f], but I realize that only honors one side.
