Getting cold feet

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone!

A few weeks ago, I made a poll for which name my husband and I should chose for our first baby due in [name_u]July[/name_u]. The names were:

•[name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f]
•[name_f]Antonia[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]
•[name_f]Arabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f]
•[name_f]Lucienne[/name_f] [name_f]Kara[/name_f]

We decided to go for [name_f]Antonia[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]. However, a couple of days ago, my sister suggested the name [name_f]Persille[/name_f] . [name_f]Persille[/name_f] isn’t really a name as far as I can tell from the research that I’ve done but I have always loves the name Persy as a nickname. Her suggestion was Persille [name_f]Isabella[/name_f]. Another name that has been suggested was [name_f]Oliva[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f], which I adore as well.

Should I stick to my old favourites or try something new? [name_m]Feel[/name_m] free to switch the combinations as well and leave your advise.

[name_f]TIA[/name_f], [name_f]Marie[/name_f].

Hello :slight_smile: I do love the sound of Persille [name_f]Isabella[/name_f], and it would definitely make for a lovely, unique name. [name_f]Antonia[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] is also pretty. [name_m]Just[/name_m] bare in mind that “Persil” is a brand of washing detergent here in the UK.

My favourite name on your list is [name_f]Lucienne[/name_f] [name_f]Kara[/name_f].

Good luck!

I love [name_f]Antonia[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]! (Although in that poll I voted for [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f] because I have a soft spot for [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f]). I personally like [name_f]Antonia[/name_f] better than Persille or [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]/[name_f]Oliva[/name_f].

I love [name_f]Lucienne[/name_f]. I like [name_f]Lucienne[/name_f] [name_f]Kara[/name_f] the best from your list. What about [name_f]Lucienne[/name_f] Persille? Other [name_u]Percy[/name_u]/Persy name options are [name_f]Persephone[/name_f], [name_f]Esperanza[/name_f], [name_f]Esperanta[/name_f], [name_u]Vesper[/name_u], [name_f]Temperance[/name_f], [name_f]Vespera[/name_f], and [name_f]Persis[/name_f]–although I’d be careful with this as a first name as it looks/sounds like “purses.”

My advice to you would be to stick with what you already love and decided to go with…unless any new names come along that immediately scream “I’m the one!” I myself have been known to shirk old favorites for new finds, but I definitely think that old favorites earned their place…new names just come along randomly and might just be a passing craze. I’d rather use a name that stood the test of time, in my heart, than choose something that was mentioned to me once.

Best of luck!

Stick to the original beautiful name. There is a percil laundry detergent. Plus, it doesn’t sound pretty.

Im not a fan of Persille. There are several lovely names on your first list. I would stick to them.

My favourites are [name_f]Lucienne[/name_f] [name_f]Kara[/name_f] and [name_f]Antonia[/name_f]. I don’t like [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] at all, so would prefer something like [name_f]Antonia[/name_f] [name_f]Lucienne[/name_f]. I also think [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f] is lovely, though I don’ think it flows well with [name_f]Louise[/name_f] (the end and beginning 'l’s run into each other).

some combos I really like:
[name_f]Lucienne[/name_f] [name_f]Kara[/name_f]
[name_f]Antonia[/name_f] [name_f]Lucienne[/name_f]
[name_f]Antonia[/name_f] [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f]
[name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f] [name_f]Kara[/name_f]

It looks like persille is a feminization of the word for parsley? You could do [name_f]Priscille[/name_f] nn [name_u]Percy[/name_u], but I still like [name_f]Antonia[/name_f] better. [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucienne[/name_f] are also nice. [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f] [name_f]Antonia[/name_f] would be pretty.
