Girl Names

We’re not planning on having another until [name]Juni[/name] is at least 2 so we have a while yet, but I can’t stop thinking about names!

Me & OH decided that we’d have one more then we’ll finish, unless something unexpected happens.

Some names that we had on the list for [name]Juniper[/name]:
[name]Halcyon[/name]
Alycone
[name]Marigold[/name]
[name]Mariposa[/name]
[name]Delphine[/name]/[name]Delphina[/name]
[name]Anthea[/name]
[name]Xanthe[/name] or [name]Xanthia[/name]

But none stand out now that we read over them again. [name]Halcyon[/name], [name]Alcyone[/name], [name]Xanthe[/name] & [name]Xanthia[/name] are pretty but I worry about how usable they are. When I hear [name]Delphine[/name] & [name]Delphina[/name], all I hear is Dolphin. [name]Marigold[/name] & [name]Mariposa[/name] are both beautiful but me & OH cannot agree on them at all. I prefer [name]Mariposa[/name] but he prefers [name]Marigold[/name]. [name]Anthea[/name] is the only one that we might consider but matching initials is something we want to avoid unless we like nothing else.

The middle name would either be [name]Winter[/name], [name]Rue[/name], [name]Poet[/name] or [name]Sailor[/name] (All have some meaning to us)

So I’d love to hear some names that you would put with our children’s names! PS: Our children’s names are [name]Astoria[/name] [name]Lark[/name], [name]Matteo[/name] [name]Fox[/name], [name]Reverie[/name] [name]Anwen[/name] & [name]Juniper[/name] Luelle!

Thank you in advance :slight_smile: I look forward to hearing your suggestions.

[name]Xanthe[/name] is my fave first name.

[name]Winter[/name] or [name]Sailor[/name] for a middle. ([name]Sailor[/name] has meaning to me too)

5

[name]Ianthe[/name] is eye-AN-thee.

6

Thanks [name]Ottilie[/name]! I thought it was that but wanted to make sure :slight_smile: I really love it, it’s beautiful!

Edited for privacy.

I love [name]Xanthe[/name]! I also thought [name]Calista[/name] would be great with [name]Juniper[/name].

9

Oh I really like [name]Marigold[/name] [name]Winter[/name]. Nn [name]Goldie[/name] is so cute. Would have considered marigold for a mn but clashes with my ln. Great underused flower name

I feel like [name]Anthea[/name] fits the best and it’s a beautiful name.
If you’re worried about the duplicate letter another that has the same feel to me is [name]Cressida[/name].
