E- baby names

jessya · December 9, 2009, 9:12am

Hey I am contemplating some E baby names. My lists aren’t too long so opinions (and reasonable suggestions) would be appreciated.

Girls
[name]Emilia[/name]- seems like a good alternative to [name]Emily[/name] and [name]Emma[/name] which hubby doesn’t care for and has the possibility of an [name]Emma[/name] nn

[name]Elisabeth[/name]- good name. Again a lot of nn possibilities like [name]Ella[/name] and [name]Elsa[/name]

[name]Ella[/name]- idk though I don’t love it really

Boys
[name]Eric[/name]
[name]Ethan[/name]

I do really like [name]Emilia[/name] (I’m just more in love with [name]Amelia[/name] or [name]Amelie[/name]).
[name]Ella[/name] is adorable, but I see it more as a nn.

[name]Eric[/name] feels dated (and I’m an [name]Erica[/name]), and while I love [name]Ethan[/name] it is quite popular these days.

Here are some of my favorite “E” names…

Girls:
[name]Emmeline[/name] nn [name]Emme[/name]
[name]Elianna[/name] nn [name]Ellie[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name] nn [name]Elle[/name]
[name]Evangeline[/name] nn [name]Evie[/name]

Boys:
[name]Ephraim[/name]
[name]Emmett[/name]
[name]Everett[/name] nn [name]Rhett[/name]

[name]Emilia[/name] imo is not different enough from [name]Emily[/name] and [name]Emma[/name] to avoid the popularity issue. If popularity isn’t a problem for you, then it is pretty. Like pp though, I prefer [name]Amelia[/name] or [name]Amelie[/name] or actually [name]Emily[/name] to [name]Emilia[/name].

[name]Evelyn[/name]
[name]Eve[/name]
[name]Ellery[/name]
[name]Ellen[/name]
[name]Erin[/name]
[name]Elle[/name]
[name]Elin[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name]

[name]Evan[/name]
[name]Ellis[/name]
[name]Evander[/name]
[name]Emmett[/name]
[name]Eli[/name]
[name]Elijah[/name]
[name]Elias[/name]
[name]Edward[/name]

We are considering [name]Elena[/name] for our baby girl, but two other E names I [name]LOVE[/name] that DH won’t consider are: [name]Evelyn[/name] & [name]Eliza[/name].

[name]Erin[/name] and Ethanna… [name]Emily[/name] is a tad too popular, don’t you think?

[name]Edgar[/name]

I don’t love [name]Emilia[/name] or [name]Elizabeth[/name], [name]Ella[/name] and [name]Elsa[/name] are nice though. What about [name]Elodie[/name], [name]Elisa[/name], [name]Eloise[/name] or my personal fave [name]Eleanor[/name]?

For boys, [name]Eric[/name] seems kind of dated, [name]Ethan[/name] is nice but very popular these days. Boys are harder for E names, I can’t really think of any that I love except [name]Elio[/name].

I love the name [name]Emery[/name] or Emorie for a girl!

niki72 · December 14, 2009, 3:31pm

Well, I have an expected baby girl named [name]Evelyne[/name], but you COULD use it if you want.
The first time I loved the boy name [name]Edward[/name] was when I read the Twilight [name]Saga[/name], which, for all you Twi-Lovers, I’m sorry, isn’t THAT good. (HP is better. . . .) But ever since then I LOVEd [name]Edward[/name], but I still think it isn’t as sexy as it’s supposed to be. . . . Old-fashioned sexy, maybe, but not that modern. . . .
Well, I notice you’ve taken the names from the name-search popular E-names, but, you know, I like not so popular girl names, E or any name initial. . . .
[name]Edith[/name]?
[name]Eleanor[/name], [name]EvE[/name], [name]EvA[/name], [name]Esther[/name]. . . .
[name]Do[/name] you have an origin or meaning in mind?
Boys:
[name]Eli[/name]?
Maybe [name]Ethan[/name]. . . .
[name]Edison[/name], [name]Emmett[/name] (another vamp name), [name]Evan[/name], [name]ELVIS[/name]!, [name]Elijah[/name]. . . .

Good luck! !!
