We’re pregnant(!!!) and of course that notches up these name conversations! After vetoing a LOT of names, my husband has declared that he has five favorites, in no particular order:
Which is your favorite with big brother [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]? A sister would be [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] or [name_f]Susannah[/name_f].
[name_m]Gabriel[/name_m], ([name_f]Adeline[/name_f]) and [name_m]Edward[/name_m] or [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
[name_m]Gabriel[/name_m], ([name_f]Susannah[/name_f]) and [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] or [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
All nice choices! With [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] I like [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] or [name_m]Jonah[/name_m], but I don’t think you can go wrong with any of these.
Thanks everyone! Curlyjedi, thanks for putting together these sibsets for me! Seems you had the same thought I did: it wouldn’t be ideal to have an [name_m]Arthur[/name_m]/[name_u]August[/name_u] AND an [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] (and I would say it’s also not great to have a [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] and a [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] in the same sibset). I do like [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] with [name_m]Edward[/name_m] and [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] with [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], as you paired them. But [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] sure does sound nice with both girl names, so that’s a big plus in my mind! (We plan on having more children).
All five of those are on my list. [name_u]August[/name_u] is my favorite with [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]. [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] and [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Edward[/name_m]? I like [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] too if you aren’t opposed to the alliteration.
Thanks for your suggestions! I love all of those names! However we either have family/friends who have used them, or DH has vetoed them. But I’m liking his top five! I think I can definitely fall in love with one of them, just not sure which one is THE one yet!
southern.maple, that makes me feel special because I love your taste in names!
I tend to agree with you that [name_u]August[/name_u] is a great match with [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]. [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] too, as several others have said. But…I’m crushing pretty hard core on [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] right now…does it just sound off with [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]? I know they aren’t really the same style…
An archangel and a legendary king? I think [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] and [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] could work well together. They aren’t that different in style.
[name_m]Favorite[/name_m] to least favorite:
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m] - lovely! sounds great with [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] - great name, also fits nicely with [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m] - very classy
[name_m]Edward[/name_m]- okay, fits well
[name_u]August[/name_u] - sorry, but I don’t like this one at all, I know it’s a NB fave, but meh
[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite from the list in order:
[name_u]August[/name_u]
[name_m]Edward[/name_m]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m]
[name_f]My[/name_f] top three combos are [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Edward[/name_m], [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] & [name_m]Edward[/name_m] [name_m]Jonah[/name_m]. All 3 go great with [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]. Congrats!
