I have looked at the website on and off for a few years now but now that the time has come all the research I did previously is null and void as my husband HATES all my name choices!
He likes what I consider plain, popular, boring or dated names such as [name_f]Michelle[/name_f], [name_f]Jessica[/name_f], [name_u]Ashley[/name_u]
I tend to like really odd names ( although I dont think I would use any in real life but like the feeling they invoke) such as [name_u]Adair[/name_u] ( although this violates my A rule!), [name_f]Clover[/name_f], [name_f]Noa[/name_f]
Here are our must haves…
No J names… I am [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and [name_f]My[/name_f] husband is [name_m]Jeremy[/name_m] so it’s too many J’s already
No A names as our last name begins with A so initials AA are not so great!
Nothing in the top 200 or so
Nothing too weird ( see my list above LOL)
Nothing made up or crazy spellings just to be original ie. Ashlinley, Sew-fee-ah
We don’t know what we are having but we are due in a short 4 weeks! I will post the same in the girls forum and would love all of your help because despite being due in about 4 weeks I am HUGE and feel like I could burst any second! ( although i know that usually with the first you are late! LOL)
I will be posting in the boys forum as well since we have left the sex of the baby a surprise!
A few of my off-beat yet modern-sounding faves:
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_f]Delia[/name_f] (dee-lee-uh)
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f] nn Caddy
[name_m]Belamy[/name_m]
[name_u]Teagan[/name_u]
[name_f]Thisbe[/name_f] (THIZ-bee)
[name_f]Valentina[/name_f]
[name_f]Romilly[/name_f]
Maybe you could pair a classic name you both can agree on with a more interesting middle name, like:
[name_f]Susannah[/name_f] [name_f]Clover[/name_f]
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_u]Adair[/name_u]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Noa[/name_f]
