We are TTC and have several boys names that we really like, but can’t come up with any girls’ names that we love and that work with our long [name]German[/name] last name, 4 syllables, ending in -berger. I would really prefer to use a unisex name, as I have a unisex name and have always loved it. Otherwise I tend to like what I consider Southern spunky names. Names I like but I am not sure about
Unisex:
[name]Hadley[/name]
[name]Rowan[/name] ([name]LOVE[/name] this but dh not sure and also it is too similar to use with one of the boys’ names we have picked)
[name]Finley[/name]
[name]Ellery[/name]
[name]Emerson[/name]
[name]Leighton[/name]
[name]Kendall[/name]
[name]Quinn[/name]
[name]Ashton[/name] (I really like but dh says reminds him of [name]Ashton[/name] Kucher)
[name]Teagan[/name] (really like but TP initals make me nervous, our last name begins with P)
[name]Non[/name]-unisex names I like
[name]Lucy[/name]
[name]Tessa[/name] (again, tp initials)
[name]Annika[/name] (too [name]German[/name]?)
[name]Anya[/name]
For middle names we will use a family-inspired name. Options include:
[name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Carolina[/name]
[name]June[/name]
[name]Jean[/name]
[name]Corrine[/name]
[name]Mae[/name]
[name]True[/name] ([name]Gertrude[/name])
[name]Anne[/name]/[name]Anna[/name]
[name]Elizabeth[/name]
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts/suggestions!
[name]Hi[/name]! My favorites from your list is [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Caroline[/name]! (I also think that [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Jean[/name] is adorable…) From that list, you may also like [name]Tessa[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] or [name]Tessa[/name] [name]June[/name]. I also really love [name]Anya[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] and [name]Annika[/name] [name]June[/name]/[name]Mae[/name]/[name]Jean[/name].
I don’t know if you love them enough to use them as first names, but I love [name]Anne[/name] and [name]Anna[/name], and I think they’d sound great with your last name! You could go with [name]Anna[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] or [name]Anne[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name].
From the unisex list, [name]Quinn[/name] is my favorite, but I don’t think it works very well with the potential middles you’ve listed. Hmm…(I’d personally avoid [name]Quinn[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name], which sounds close to [name]Queen[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name].) I also really like [name]Rowan[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] and [name]Ellery[/name] [name]Mae[/name]. (I’m half asleep and rambling, but with [name]Hadley[/name], I love [name]Hadley[/name] [name]Caroline[/name], [name]Hadley[/name] [name]June[/name], and [name]Hadley[/name] [name]Jean[/name] the most.)
I’m not sure if you’re still looking, but some more names you may like:
[name]Belle[/name] (plus, it’s short, which sounds like it’s a plus with your last name)
[name]Delilah[/name] (definitely not short)
[name]Lila[/name]
[name]Mae[/name]
[name]Nell[/name]
[name]Scarlett[/name]
[name]Tess[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]
[name]Willa[/name]
Other shorter names you may like with your last name:
Thanks [name]Jill[/name] for all the suggestions! I like [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] a lot, but not sure how I feel about [name]Lucy[/name] on an adult…somehow seems not mature or elegant enough. [name]Tessa[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] is great, and I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Annika[/name] [name]June[/name]. While I love [name]Annika[/name] and [name]Anya[/name], I wouldn’t use [name]Anne[/name] or [name]Anna[/name] as first names as my husband’s ex-girlfriend was [name]Anna[/name] and [name]Anne[/name] to me seems too plain. I also [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Rowan[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]…what about [name]Rowan[/name] [name]Eliza[/name]? I like your suggestion of [name]Delilah[/name] but agree it is too long. I also love the name [name]Evangeline[/name], but I think it is too much with the last name. From your suggestions the other ones I like are [name]Bellamy[/name], [name]Auden[/name], [name]Linden[/name], [name]Mae[/name], and [name]Clara[/name]. What do people think of these combos?
Congratulations on your baby girl! The one name that really seems to stay with me is [name]Rowan[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]. [name]Don[/name]'t stress too much about having a short name! I have a long last name (10 letters) and we named our son [name]Zachary[/name] [name]Samuel[/name]. It flows wonderfully. Took a bit to teach him how to spell all of it but it sure was a bit accomplishment when he did!!!
(I also think that [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Jean[/name] is adorable…) From that list, you may also like [name]Tessa[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] or [name]Tessa[/name] [name]June[/name]. I also really love [name]Anya[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] and [name]Annika[/name] [name]June[/name]/[name]Mae[/name]/[name]Jean[/name].
