We are finally expecting our first baby and could not be more excited. We find out [name]Monday[/name] how far along we are but my guess is about 8 weeks. I am trying to get a list of 7 girl names and 7 boy names for my fiance and I to narrow down from through out the pregnancy, but only have these, any more suggestions appreciated.
We are having a much harder time with boy names vs girl names. We want something unique but not overly crazy. We like old timey names and somethng with alot of character. I want a baby name that makes you think of creativity.
Is vintage sort of your style? Creative with a lot of character would be something like [name]Thaddeus[/name] or [name]Odin[/name] for me. I like [name]Caspian[/name] and [name]Arthur[/name] from your list, I think they both have a lot of character, and are sort of ‘old timey’. Or to go along with your current list:
[name]Sawyer[/name]
[name]Elias[/name]
[name]Hyde[/name]
[name]Winslow[/name]
[name]Jay[/name]
[name]Poe[/name]
[name]Byron[/name]
From your girls names I like [name]Noella[/name]. Suggestions could be like:
[name]Cordelia[/name]
[name]Harriet[/name]
[name]Blythe[/name]
[name]Esther[/name]
[name]Hope[/name] I helped a little <3 Sorry if I didn’t! Good luck on your naming quest <3
Congratulations! I love [name]Coraline[/name] (used it for DD’s middle :)) & [name]Noella[/name] for girls. [name]Caspian[/name], [name]Arthur[/name], and [name]Ezra[/name] are all favorites as well. [name]Xavier[/name]'s nice, but NMS - sounds preppier (?) than the others to me.
I like all your girl names except [name]Noella[/name]. The ell in [name]Noella[/name] is too much with the last name [name]Bell[/name]

I think that the names with “ell” in them (Ellanora, [name]Noella[/name]) are much too rhymey with the last name [name]Bell[/name], both on their own and because the most natural nickname for either is [name]Ellie[/name]/[name]Ella[/name]/[name]Elle[/name]. [name]Elle[/name] [name]Bell[/name] wouldn’t do it for me at all. [name]Madeline[/name] is beautiful, but I don’t know if I would call it creative. Between all the spellings of [name]Madeline[/name] ([name]Madelyn[/name], [name]Madeleine[/name], [name]Madelaine[/name], Maddalyn, Madilynne…), it’s fairly widely used. Maybe that doesn’t bother you, though. [name]Cornelia[/name] and [name]Coraline[/name] are both great choices–definitely my faves. [name]Cora[/name], [name]Lia[/name], [name]Lina[/name], [name]Corey[/name], etc. are all nice nicknames with [name]Bell[/name] if you find that using her full name starts to feel too long. I rather prefer the rhythm of [name]Cornelia[/name] [name]Bell[/name], but I think [name]Coraline[/name] hits that creative vibe…so either is great. I might also suggest (with some optional nicknames–I’m not really a nicknamey person, but a lot of Berries are, so maybe you are, too, haha):
I think all of your boy choices sound great with your last name. I particularly like the rhythm of [name]Caspian[/name] [name]Bell[/name], but [name]Arthur[/name] and [name]Ezra[/name] might fit that old-timey, rooted feel a bit more? Of the four, [name]Xavier[/name] feels the least old-fashioned and creative, but I like it. Perhaps one of these will strike your fancy (or just remind you that you like the four on your list better…):
[name]Madeline[/name] [name]Bell[/name] is the stand out for a boy, while I love [name]Caspian[/name], [name]Ezra[/name] and [name]Xavier[/name] for a boy.
I love Ellanora but spelled [name]Eleanora[/name].
I love [name]Coraline[/name]/[name]Cora[/name], [name]Madeleine[/name], & [name]Noelle[/name]/[name]Noella[/name].
Loving [name]Arthur[/name] & [name]Ezra[/name]. [name]How[/name] about [name]Ezra[/name] [name]Arthur[/name]?
I adore [name]Finnegan[/name] nn [name]Finn[/name] but I am afraid with Glee its going to get popular, what are your thoughts?
@sheflieswithherownwings
I love your style! [name]Matilda[/name] and [name]Clementine[/name] are on my short list but hubby nixed them SADFACE
I also like [name]Felix[/name] and [name]Dexter[/name] but hubby says no.
however I am adding [name]Oliver[/name] off your list because its too darn cute!
We actually like EllaBell for a nickname
