Getting closer to the deadline. Suggestions?

vblanch · April 28, 2014, 4:01pm

Waiting for the doctor to call us in to my appointment today, my boyfriend turns to look at me and says, “You know, we really need to settle on a name.” And I agree. Perhaps this post is premature since we will find out the sex in a few days, but I think both of us want to be able to leave that appointment saying “I can’t wait to see ____. When ____ is old enough I hope he will wanna play football like his daddy did. I hope ____ has blue eyes like her mommy.” So once again I ask for some [name_u]Berry[/name_u] help. We agreed on middle names, and his last name sounds like [name_m]Nap[/name_m].
Girl:
_____ [name_f]Irene[/name_f] [name_m]Nap[/name_m].
[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite is [name_f]Mirabelle[/name_f] (he hates it), his is [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] (I think it sounds terrible with [name_f]Irene[/name_f]).

Boy:
_____ [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_m]Nap[/name_m].
His favorite is [name_m]Xander[/name_m] (I think its mediocre), my favorite is [name_u]Tristan[/name_u] (neither of us like the double T).

So, any names that come to mind as compromises or names you think pair well with the rest of the name?

[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] for a girl? That’s sort of like [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] and [name_f]Mirabelle[/name_f].
I second [name_m]Xavier[/name_m].

I do agree with you about [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]. They are both ‘r’ heavy making it difficult to say.

What about…
[name_u]Ariel[/name_u] [name_f]Irene[/name_f] [name_m]Nap[/name_m]
[name_f]Estelle[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f] [name_m]Nap[/name_m]

[name_u]Bellamy[/name_u] [name_f]Irene[/name_f] [name_m]Nap[/name_m]

[name_f]Mirabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f] is definitely better than [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f] and I really like the suggestion of [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m].

Some other possibilities:

[name_f]Avis[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f] (I really like this combo!)
[name_f]Avril[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecily[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f]
[name_f]Constance[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f]
[name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f]
[name_f]Judith[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f]
[name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f]
[name_f]Leila[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f]
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f]
[name_f]Millicent[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f]
[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f]
[name_f]Sybil[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f]
[name_m]Tallis[/name_m] [name_f]Irene[/name_f]
[name_f]Thais[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f]

davisellu · April 28, 2014, 6:19pm

I thought of one more that was close to [name_f]Mirabelle[/name_f]-- what about [name_f]Muriel[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f]?

evh · April 28, 2014, 6:26pm

miro thomas nap

aurelia irene nap

anaxandra · April 28, 2014, 6:45pm

I also thought of [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] immediately.

Other suggestions:
[name_f]Savannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilah[/name_f]
[name_f]Trinity[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Estella[/name_f]

[name_m]Grayson[/name_m]
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]
[name_m]Liam[/name_m]
[name_u]Logan[/name_u]

I don’t care for [name_f]Mirabelle[/name_f] either and I agree that [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f] is awkward. Here’s a few suggestions to maybe help you meet in the middle.

[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f] [name_m]Nap[/name_m]
[name_f]Amaya[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f] [name_m]Nap[/name_m]
[name_f]Camilla[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f] [name_m]Nap[/name_m]

I actually like [name_m]Xander[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] and am not a fan of [name_m]Tristian[/name_m]. I find them to be so different stylistically that I’m not sure what to suggest.

vblanch · April 29, 2014, 9:56am

The ever popular suggestion of [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] has been politely declined by the father.

potofgold · April 29, 2014, 10:06am

Girl Suggestions:
[name_f]Annabel[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f]

Boy Suggestions:
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m] nn [name_m]Xander[/name_m]? Then there’s more options if you decide you want a different nn (e.g. [name_u]Alex[/name_u])
[name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]

[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f] [name_m]Nap[/name_m]

kala_way · April 29, 2014, 11:49am

[name_f]Arielle[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f] was my first thought.

[name_u]Spencer[/name_u] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] might work
