It’s finally happening! My husband and I are excepting our first baby, however we will not be finding out the gender (and yes, the anticipating is ALREADY killing me.) We have some family names we would like to use, and also we are loving M names, although our last name also begins with an M, similar to Mitchum. We aren’t sure about alliteration, but love a few names that we cannot seems to get away from!
I would like the middle name to be [name_f]Nicole[/name_f] to show love to my sister, or a play on either [name_f]Nicole[/name_f] or [name_f]Cara[/name_f].
Boys: We don’t know which we prefer!
[name_u]Owen[/name_u]
[name_m]Otis[/name_m]
[name_m]Cooper[/name_m]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]
[name_u]Theo[/name_u] or [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]
[name_m]Samuel[/name_m]
(can you tell I adore O’s?)
Middle name could be: [name_m]Bennett[/name_m], [name_u]Ray[/name_u], or [name_m]Kenneth[/name_m]. All family names [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] is my husband MN, [name_u]Ray[/name_u] and [name_m]Kenneth[/name_m] are for his family members. My husband is sold on using [name_u]Ray[/name_u] or [name_m]Kenneth[/name_m]… of course I absolutely [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_m]Bennett[/name_m].
We are so very excited for our little one, and want a name that is both joyful and confident, but not too trendy.
We look forward to your advice! Cheers!
I think that [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Nicole[/name_f] is gorgeous. Although, I really like all your name choices.
From your boys’ list, [name_u]Owen[/name_u] [name_m]Kenneth[/name_m] would be especially handsome, and [name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] sounds so classic and spunky all at once.
Wow, those are all wonderful names! I like all your girl names and all but one of your boys ([name_m]Otis[/name_m] unfortunately still reminds me of the movie [name_m]Milo[/name_m] and [name_m]Otis[/name_m]).
Have you thought of [name_f]Carina[/name_f] for a middle name? [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_f]Carina[/name_f], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Carina[/name_f] or [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Carina[/name_f] would be very pretty. If you decide to go with [name_f]Nicole[/name_f] for a middle, I like [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_f]Nicole[/name_f] or [name_f]Thea[/name_f] [name_f]Nicole[/name_f] best.
Out of your boys names, [name_u]Jude[/name_u] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] are my two favorites. [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] would be perfect for either of them, but if you decide to go with [name_m]Kenneth[/name_m] or [name_u]Ray[/name_u] I like [name_u]Owen[/name_u] [name_m]Kenneth[/name_m] and [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] [name_u]Ray[/name_u]. [name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_m]Kenneth[/name_m] is a handsome combo, too.
Congratulations and good luck with narrowing it down!
[name_f]Edit[/name_f]: [name_m]Just[/name_m] wanted to add that I think using an M name is perfectly fine. I actually think [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] Mitchum sounds quite nice.
I love [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Nicole[/name_f] & [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Nicole[/name_f] best, followed by [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], maybe [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Carina[/name_f]. For the boys I love [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] ([name_u]Theo[/name_u]) [name_u]Ray[/name_u] and [name_u]Jude[/name_u] [name_m]Bennett[/name_m]. Second, would be [name_u]Owen[/name_u] [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] or Samuel Ray. My son’s middle name is [name_u]Ray[/name_u] after a family member and it really grows on you. It has such a nice and simple ring to it (I often use both names because they sound so good together) with a lot of first names and I like the meaning of a “[name_u]Ray[/name_u] of sunshine!”
