Of course, we’re waiting for delivery to find out the gender, so we’re making it even harder on ourselves.
We have a daughter named [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and a son named [name_m]Leo[/name_m]
We can’t seem to find any boy names that we love! Our girl names are easier because they’re either family names or have a special meaning to us. They are [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f] or [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] and [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f] or [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f]. We also love [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] but our last name is 4 syllables and 10 letters…It’s very Italian sounding too!
Here are some of the boy names we’ve been tossing around…
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m] - I like that it is somewhat a nature name/stone
[name_u]River[/name_u] - Again, nature but family members have somewhat destroyed this one for me. It’s also increasingly popular as a girl name and we like more obvious male/female names.
[name_u]Remy[/name_u] - Again, this might feel to unisex.
[name_m]Milo[/name_m] - does that work with [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f]?
[name_m]Miles[/name_m]
Thanks in advance for the help! We’re down to the wire here!!!
I love [name_m]Milo[/name_m], so I might be a little bias lol. I think [name_m]Milo[/name_m] works well with your other names; they sound classic yet modern. Other than that, I think [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] works well too, or you could combine them… [name_m]Milo[/name_m] [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] or [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] [name_m]Milo[/name_m].
Congratulations!
I really like [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] and your comment on nature names sparked my inspiration. [name_m]Milo[/name_m] sounds too close to [name_m]Leo[/name_m] to me. Your comments about [name_u]River[/name_u] and [name_u]Remy[/name_u] make it sound like you’ve already decided on not using those.
I think you should keep your name ideas to just you and your partner, and of course nameberry/other forums. Family can be downright rude and bully you to get what they want but I feel that forums can offer opinions without the drama.
I also like the idea of [name_m]Milo[/name_m] [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] or [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] [name_m]Milo[/name_m]. [name_m]Milo[/name_m] could be too close to [name_m]Leo[/name_m], but I think thats up to you. Its not like [name_m]Milo[/name_m] & [name_m]Miles[/name_m] (which would definitely be too close), but more of a judgement call/personal preference on this one.
Some other ideas:
[name_m]Cole[/name_m]
[name_m]Eli[/name_m]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
[name_m]Jack[/name_m]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]
[name_u]Luca[/name_u]
[name_u]Nico[/name_u]
[name_m]Otis[/name_m]
[name_m]Silas[/name_m]
[name_m]Zane[/name_m]
What about [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and …
[name_u]August[/name_u]
[name_u]Blake[/name_u]
[name_m]Elvis[/name_m]
[name_u]Evan[/name_u]
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
[name_m]Ian[/name_m]
[name_m]Nolan[/name_m]
[name_u]Riley[/name_u]
[name_m]Weston[/name_m]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] and [name_m]Leo[/name_m] have sounds in common. [name_m]Milo[/name_m] shares those sounds but also shares an ending and a syllable count with [name_m]Leo[/name_m] which strikes me as too close.
Names that share sounds with [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and [name_m]Leo[/name_m] :
[name_m]Dion[/name_m]
[name_f]Evon[/name_f]
Oleander
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_m]Angelo[/name_m]
[name_m]Benvolio[/name_m] (I joke but…)
[name_m]Ovid[/name_m]
[name_m]Vigo[/name_m]
[name_m]Virgil[/name_m]
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m] / [name_m]Vincenzo[/name_m]
[name_m]Neville[/name_m]
[name_m]Silvan[/name_m]
[name_m]Sven[/name_m]
[name_m]Ivan[/name_m] / [name_m]Ivor[/name_m]
[name_m]Vaughn[/name_m]
I think [name_m]Milo[/name_m] is a little too close to [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and [name_m]Leo[/name_m], but am in love with pp’s suggestion of [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] [name_m]Milo[/name_m] for you! [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_m]Leo[/name_m], and [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] are beautiful together.
I love [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_m]Jasper[/name_m]!
The only tiny thing I see that could possibly maybe be “improvable” is this. You have a long Italian surname and I feel [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and [name_m]Leo[/name_m] both sound vaguely connected to that. [name_m]Milo[/name_m] has that, too. [name_m]Jasper[/name_m], not so much.
So although I don’t think it’s a huge issue - in fact, I think I’m nitpicking -, here are some nature-names that sound just a dash more Mediterranean (to me, at least), as well!
[name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and Cirus
[name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_m]Fabian[/name_m]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_u]Orion[/name_u]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_m]Silvan[/name_m]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_m]Tito[/name_m]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_u]Florian[/name_u]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_m]Silvester[/name_m]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_m]Monte[/name_m]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and Giro
[name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_m]Jonas[/name_m]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and Merin
[name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_m]Castor[/name_m]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and Tiber
I vote for [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_m]Miles[/name_m].
[name_u]LOVE[/name_u] the three names together. Without the O ending you don’t have to worry about the boys’ names ending the same. And… you can’t get better than a short, sweet one syllable name. It should go well with a longer last name. Good luck with your decision.
I really like [name_u]Remy[/name_u] with [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and [name_m]Leo[/name_m]. Yes, it can be unisex, but I wouldn’t assume your [name_u]Remy[/name_u] was a girl looking at that sibling set.
Thanks everyone. I love [name_m]Milo[/name_m] and [name_m]Miles[/name_m] too but I find that when I say my daughter’s name and nickname, [name_f]Vi[/name_f] it’s just too close too [name_m]Miles[/name_m] and [name_m]Milo[/name_m] with the long “i” sound. Does that make sense? And yes, someone said [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and [name_m]Leo[/name_m] have sort of European vibe but [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] does not…I get that too! I still love the nature connection though! Thanks so much, expert namers!
