General thoughts....

I just posted this, but can’t find it.

Thought in these names…
[name_f]Rebecca[/name_f] (may chose a nn in her schooling years, but we plan to call her, and introduce her by her full name)
[name_f]Hannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Emily[/name_f]
[name_f]Bridget[/name_f]
[name_f]Kathryn[/name_f] (spelled this way to honor [name_f]MIL[/name_f]. also, might have the nn [name_f]Kate[/name_f], but we are planning on introducing her be her full name)

Possible middles names (all family names/honora family):
[name_f]Noelle[/name_f]
[name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Kathryn[/name_f]
[name_m]Davey[/name_m]
[name_f]Mae[/name_f]

Also…
Any you would drop/any favorites?
Alliteration doesn’t bother us
Last name is Cottum, sounds like caw-tdum
Middle names (with the exception of [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f]) aren’t an option in the fn spot
Any new suggestions?
[name_m]Favorite[/name_m] combos?

Thanks!

I like [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f]. I knew many growing up, but don’t know any babies named [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f] these days. [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] is very pretty.

[name_f]Bridget[/name_f] is also very pretty. I like it paired with [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f]. [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f] [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] or [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f] are beautiful.

[name_f]Kathryn[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] is striking as well. [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] is an unexpected middle name for [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f] and stands out to me.

I’m not a fan of [name_f]Emily[/name_f] since I’ve known hundreds of them in my life. Have you thought about a variant? Maybe [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] or [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]?

I think all of the options are classic, respectable, and rather lovely, which makes it difficult to choose. [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] and [name_f]Emily[/name_f] are my two favorite first names ([name_f]Hannah[/name_f] and [name_f]Emma[/name_f] are on my own list), but I also adore [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f]. [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] and [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f] are perfectly fine names, I just prefer the others. I am in love with the combo [name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]. I also adore [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f], [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f], and [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f].

I just can’t get over how sweet [name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] sounds :slight_smile:

Really liking [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f] and [name_f]Hannah[/name_f], particularly with your last name. I’d pair both with [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]. I think [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] is lovely and rather underused.

I love [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f] and it is so underused. I love the quirky nicknames like [name_u]Rex[/name_u] and Bex, but my favorite is the full name.
[name_f]Rebecca[/name_f] [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f]
[name_f]Rebecca[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Rebecca[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]

I like [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f] and [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] in the first slot as well. I know a lot of school-aged Hannahs and Emilys right now.
[name_f]Kathryn[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Kathryn[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Bridget[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_f]Bridget[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]

[name_f]Hannah[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Rebecca[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Bridget[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]

In general, all your names are lovely and pretty. If I had to pick one…[name_f]Emily[/name_f]. [name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] Cottum would be lovely(oh, already posted). [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f] - too, if possible.

[name_f]Bridget[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] or [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] is my favourite option for you. I find [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f] and [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] dated, while I’ve never liked [name_f]Emily[/name_f] or [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f].

These are all lovely names that fill well together, and with your last name. I think anything you choose will be nice and satisfying! My favorites from your FN list are [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] and [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f], and my favorites from your MN list are [name_f]Mae[/name_f] (my middle name!) and [name_u]June[/name_u]. [name_u]June[/name_u] doesn’t go well with [name_f]Bridget[/name_f], so I would recommend [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] and [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]. But I don’t know if those are necessarily the “best” two combos, it’s just how I would combine my favorites from your list. I also really love [name_f]Kate[/name_f] as a NN, and think it works on its own as a middle. I think a runner-up for me would be [name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f].

Thanks all…I am glad I don’t have any awful names up there :slight_smile:

My fav combos you have mentioned are [name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u], [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f], [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f], [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f], [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f] and [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f].
