Hey there!
I was hoping you guys could help us come up with some new names for our list. [name_u]Baby[/name_u] is due in less than a month and our likes are still pretty much all over the place. One thing we have decided is that we want something that honors [name_m]New[/name_m] Orleans. It’s where we met and both of us absolutely love the city - the character and culture. We have a few names on our list, but I’d like to see what you guys can come up with.
[name_f]Nola[/name_f]
[name_f]Louisa[/name_f]
[name_u]Bayou[/name_u]
[name_f]Magnolia[/name_f]
[name_f]Acadia[/name_f]
[name_f]Fleur[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] (contains the -lean from Orleans)
[name_f]Delta[/name_f]
Tulane
Tammany
[name_f]Tiana[/name_f] (if you count disney relations?)
[name_f]Louisiana[/name_f]
[name_u]Jean[/name_u]
[name_f]Kate[/name_f] Chopin
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_m]Nicholson[/name_m]
Picayune
[name_f]Belle[/name_f] Chasse
[name_u]Jazz[/name_u]
A few categories come to mind…
[name_m]Street[/name_m] names: [name_f]Thalia[/name_f], [name_f]Clio[/name_f], [name_f]Laurel[/name_f], [name_f]Constance[/name_f], [name_f]Adele[/name_f], [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Julia[/name_f], [name_u]Madison[/name_u]
Plays on the city/state name: Any [name_u]Lou[/name_u] name ([name_f]Louisa[/name_f], [name_f]Louise[/name_f], etc.), [name_f]Nola[/name_f], [name_f]Noelle[/name_f], [name_f]Orla[/name_f]
[name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] would also be a nice name to honor the city.
Thanks everyone.
Right now my top picks are
[name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] (I love the nn [name_f]Maggie[/name_f])
[name_f]Marie[/name_f]
[name_f]Louise[/name_f]
[name_f]Liliane[/name_f] (I love the [name_m]French[/name_m] pronunciation, but I fear people would pronounce it like [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] and that would lead to spelling problems)
I immediately thought [name_f]Nola[/name_f]!
