All input will be appreciated, but we’re mostly looking for girl MN advice. I’ll share our “almost” names too so you can maybe get our style a little. #1 would have been [name_m]Zachary[/name_m] if a boy, and our girl alternate was [name_f]Marianne[/name_f]. #2 was almost [name_m]Jason[/name_m] or [name_f]Abigail[/name_f]. #3 would have been [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] if a girl, but we had no extra boy name because my sister, due 1 month later, had chosen [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] and we wanted to get “dibs.” (I hope you can see their names in my signature.)
We like saints’ names. We like names DH’s Hungarian relatives can pronounce, but which are “normal” enough to adults not to cause comment. Something Swedish might be fun, as DH’s grandmother’s Swedish heritage is important to her, and sometimes she feels outdone by all the Hungarians her son married into. We’d kind of like to carry on a theme of literary connections, too: Sara for Sara Crewe in “A Little Princess,” Evelyn for author Evelyn Waugh, and Matthias for the little mouse from Redwall.
For a boy we like [name_m]Robert[/name_m] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] or [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] [name_m]Robert[/name_m]. And for a girl, we like [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] ___… [name_f]Colette[/name_f]? [name_f]Theodora[/name_f]? Reuse one of our old extras? Find something completely different? Help!
