Hello ,

Time for another round of questions.

A) Nicknames for [name_f]Posey[/name_f]? (Like this name but I’m trying to find a nickname so that it would still be wearable on a tomboy. Or would I give it like a middle like [name_f]Jane[/name_f] so she could go by PJ?)
B) [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] or [name_u]Penrose[/name_u]?
C) Is it weird to like the name/name your kid [name_u]Presley[/name_u] if your birthday is the same day [name_m]Elvis[/name_m] [name_u]Presley[/name_u] died?
D) Does Harvest work as a name? I’ve seen it around and think it’s cute. If so combos ideas. I think Harvest [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] would be pretty.
E) Ideas based on my signature. I need some name inspo badly.
F) Optional question for [name_m]New[/name_m] Zealanders Does the name [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] remind you of [name_m]Winston[/name_m] Peters?

A. I do not care for [name_f]Posey[/name_f] or PJ. I also don’t like initials as names.
B. Prefer [name_u]Penrose[/name_u] over [name_f]Primrose[/name_f].
C. [name_u]Presley[/name_u] is fine for a name.
D. [name_u]Love[/name_u] Harvest!!! Thanks for giving me a new name! Harvest [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], Harvest [name_f]Amity[/name_f], Harvest [name_f]Leonor[/name_f], Harvest [name_f]Cecily[/name_f]
E. Mixmatching Boys: [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Dawson[/name_m], [name_m]Harrison[/name_m] [name_u]Flynn[/name_u], [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] [name_m]Bowie[/name_m], [name_m]Granger[/name_m] [name_m]Beckett[/name_m], [name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Stellan[/name_m], [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] [name_m]Wyatt[/name_m], [name_u]Linden[/name_u] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m], [name_m]Milo[/name_m] [name_m]Holden[/name_m]
Girls: I love [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] & [name_f]Holiday[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]. I like [name_m]Tennyson[/name_m] and [name_f]Meadow[/name_f], and my daughter is [name_f]Caroline[/name_f].

A) [name_f]Posey[/name_f] is so short, I don’t know if it needs a nn. In fact, I more often see it suggested as a nickname here on NB. If you absolutely can’t live without one, PJ is pretty cute. [name_u]Poe[/name_u] is another possibility, but that’s all I’ve got.

B) [name_f]Primrose[/name_f]

C) Weirdly, my cousin is a [name_u]Presley[/name_u] who was born the day before [name_m]Elvis[/name_m] died, but she was named after her grandfather that died before she was born and not [name_m]Elvis[/name_m] himself. I don’t think it really matters. What person a) knows the day [name_m]Elvis[/name_m] died off the top of their head, b) will know your kid’s name, c) will also know your birthday, and d) put all those pieces together?

D) I can’t really imagine yelling Harvest across a playground, but if you can, go for it.

E) The site britishbabynames.com helps me a lot when I need to branch out from Nameberry. They have lots of lists with names that aren’t typically listed on other baby name websites. Here are a few I think you might like:

A) [name_u]Poe[/name_u] or PJ work great as nn’s, but I don’t think they’re really necessary
B) I would say [name_f]Primrose[/name_f], because the nn Prim is cute…I personally really don’t like the potential nn [name_u]Penny[/name_u] for [name_u]Penrose[/name_u], but the full name itself is nice
C) I don’t think so, because as a PP said, most people wouldn’t stop and think to connect the dots
D) I think Harvest could work as a name, but more for a boy imo because of its similarity to [name_m]Harvey[/name_m]
E) Sorry I’m having a mental blank right now, but I’ll come back and edit if I think of anything for you!
F) I’m from NZ, and I didn’t immediately think of [name_m]Winston[/name_m] Peters, I thought of [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] the Pooh…We don’t typically call him [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] Peters (except in newspaper headlines, I guess, now that I think about it) but in general conversation it’s always just [name_m]Winston[/name_m], or [name_m]Winston[/name_m] Peters, never [name_f]Winnie[/name_f]…at least where I am in the country anyway

a. [name_f]Cece[/name_f], [name_u]Po[/name_u],
b. I love [name_u]Penrose[/name_u] so much ah
c. no?
d. Harvest [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] is adorable - I don’t like a lot of word names but Harvest [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] works really well
e. girls. [name_f]Aster[/name_f], [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_f]Poppy[/name_f], [name_f]Livia[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Mauve[/name_f], [name_f]Eira[/name_f], [name_f]Io[/name_f], [name_m]Fisher[/name_m], [name_f]Sable[/name_f], [name_f]Autumn[/name_f]

A) I don’t really think [name_f]Posey[/name_f] need a nickname, as it’s a nickname itself. At least to me. [name_m]Even[/name_m] though it’s a girly name, it works fine for any “type” of girl if you know what I mean. But if you like PJ, that works, as does [name_u]Poe[/name_u], which I adore.

B) I like both, but slightly prefer [name_f]Primrose[/name_f]. I love the nn [name_m]Penn[/name_m] for a girl, and could totally see [name_m]Penn[/name_m] as a nn for [name_u]Penrose[/name_u].

C) I agree with pps.

D) Harvest is really intriguing, and I love me an intriguing name. Harvest [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] is lovely! I also like Harvest [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f], Harvest [name_f]Marielle[/name_f], Harvest [name_f]Johanna[/name_f], Harvest [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], Harvest [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] and Harvest [name_u]Eloise[/name_u]. It could easily be a boys name as well!

E) Girls: [name_m]Salinger[/name_m], [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f], [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f], [name_f]Celie[/name_f], [name_f]Juno[/name_f], [name_u]Vida[/name_u], [name_u]Dagny[/name_u], [name_f]Ffion[/name_f], Edelweiss, Eliesse, [name_f]Marigold[/name_f], [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f], [name_u]Harbor[/name_u], [name_f]Cypress[/name_f], [name_u]Romy[/name_u], [name_u]Lucca[/name_u], [name_u]Arden[/name_u], [name_f]Ireland[/name_f], [name_f]Endellion[/name_f], [name_f]Cricket[/name_f]
Boys: [name_m]Imre[/name_m], [name_u]Beau[/name_u], [name_m]Wolfe[/name_m], [name_m]Archer[/name_m], [name_m]Caspian[/name_m], [name_u]Everett[/name_u], [name_m]Atticus[/name_m], [name_u]Darcey[/name_u], Brave, [name_m]Apollo[/name_m], [name_u]Zephyr[/name_u], [name_m]Crosby[/name_m], [name_u]Reeve[/name_u]
