hi. we don’t know if we are having a boy or girl. we have a 2 yr old named [name]Ethen[/name] [name]David[/name] ( a little too popular for my tastes but both were family names, and it really suits him now).
some names we like:
GIRLS: (middle name virginia, family name, that doesn’t really ‘go’ with most of the names we like but we’re using it!)
[name]JUST[/name] IGNORE THIS POST. SORRY, BUT I CAN’T ERASE IT.
GIRLS: (middle name virginia, family name, that doesn’t really ‘go’ with most of the names we like but we’re using it!)
[name]Amelia[/name] (also like [name]Amelie[/name], [name]Emilia[/name]) - this is so pretty
[name]Maya[/name] (too popular?) this is pretty, too
[name]Simone[/name] I started loving this name when I was in high school. [name]Simona[/name] is a variant, and I think it’s even prettier and also so unique.
[name]Linnea[/name] (too uncommon, pron. problems) but I really like it!
[name]Audrey[/name] - absolutely love this!
My faves of your girls are [name]Audrey[/name] and [name]Simona[/name] instead of [name]Simone[/name]. Oh, but with the middle name [name]Virginia[/name], I don’t like [name]Audrey[/name] and [name]Simona[/name]. I don’t really like any of the above choices with [name]Virginia[/name], but maybe I will change my mind after a while. That often happens. Here’s what I like with [name]Virginia[/name]:
[name]Scarlett[/name] [name]Virginia[/name]
I’m going to do some research and add some more names in a few minutes.
BOYS:
[name]August[/name], nn [name]Gus[/name] - love so much
[name]Zachary[/name] - very handsome, it’s common, but not that common, I think.
[name]Henry[/name] - this is so popular, but I really love it. I would use it.
[name]Dillon[/name] - not my cup of tea
GIRLS: (middle name virginia, family name, that doesn’t really ‘go’ with most of the names we like but we’re using it!)
[name]Amelia[/name] (also like [name]Amelie[/name], [name]Emilia[/name]) - this is so pretty
[name]Maya[/name] (too popular?) this is pretty, too
[name]Simone[/name] I started loving this name when I was in high school. [name]Simona[/name] is a variant, and I think it’s even prettier and also so unique.
[name]Linnea[/name] (too uncommon, pron. problems) but I really like it!
[name]Audrey[/name] - absolutely love this!
My faves of your girls are [name]Audrey[/name] and [name]Simona[/name] instead of [name]Simone[/name]. Oh, but with the middle name [name]Virginia[/name], I don’t like [name]Audrey[/name] and [name]Simona[/name]. I don’t really like any of the above choices with [name]Virginia[/name], but maybe I will change my mind after a while. [name]Lola[/name] and many of the other posters will have a lot of good ideas for first names to go with [name]Virginia[/name]. That seems to always happen. Here’s what I like with [name]Virginia[/name]:
[name]Scarlett[/name] [name]Virginia[/name] - so gorgeous. I know a [name]Virginia[/name] [name]Scarlett[/name].
[name]Grace[/name] [name]Virginia[/name]
[name]Helen[/name] [name]Virginia[/name]
[name]Paige[/name] [name]Virginia[/name]
[name]Rose[/name] [name]Virginia[/name]
[name]Isla[/name] [name]Virginia[/name]
[name]Claire[/name] [name]Virginia[/name]
[name]Ruth[/name] [name]Virginia[/name]
I really love the name [name]Virginia[/name] as a first name with the nn [name]Ginger[/name]. [name]Ginger[/name] is on my fave girls’ list. But not everyone loves [name]Ginger[/name] as much as I do. There’s also [name]Ginny[/name]. Anyway, [name]Virginia[/name] goes beautifully with a lot of middle names.
BOYS:
[name]August[/name], nn [name]Gus[/name] - love so much
[name]Zachary[/name] - very handsome, it’s common, but not that common, I think.
[name]Henry[/name] - this is so popular, but I really love it. I would use it.
[name]Dillon[/name] - not my cup of tea
My fave of your boys is [name]Henry[/name]. But I think most of the other posters will love [name]August[/name] the most. I’m just a classic names fan most of the time. In some states such as [name]California[/name] where I live [name]Henry[/name] is not that popular. So you could name your son [name]Henry[/name] here in [name]CA[/name] and still be original. I don’t think it will ever get super popular here. Too many other names are so popular here because they sound more like a fabulous baseball or soccer player. [name]Henry[/name] doesn’t sound very athletic. He sounds more studious.
You have a variety of styles but a nice list! My thoughts…
I love [name]Susan[/name]'s [name]Grace[/name] [name]Virginia[/name] and [name]Scarlett[/name] [name]Virginia[/name].
GIRLS
[name]Amelia[/name] [name]Virginia[/name] I like this, you don’t see [name]Amelia[/name] very often
[name]Maya[/name] [name]Virginia[/name] Very pretty
[name]Simone[/name] [name]Virginia[/name] definitely unique and pretty!
[name]Linnea[/name] [name]Virginia[/name] Beautiful! And definitely not overly different. My cousin has a [name]Linnea[/name]!
[name]Audrey[/name] [name]Virginia[/name] [name]Love[/name] these together, [name]LOVE[/name].
Some others to consider:
[name]Virginia[/name] [name]Maye[/name] (why not use it as a first?!)

BOYS
[name]August[/name], nn [name]Gus[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name] this! [name]August[/name] [name]Henry[/name]?
[name]Zachary[/name] - not my fav of your choices, seems not as current as others
[name]Henry[/name] -great family name and very handsome for a child and adult! Also a GREAT middle.
[name]Dillon[/name] - I prefer [name]Dylan[/name], though apparently it was used a lot in the 90’s
[name]Amelia[/name] (also like [name]Amelie[/name], [name]Emilia[/name]): [name]Lovely[/name]!
[name]Maya[/name] (too popular?): I prefer the other names on your list to [name]Maya[/name]…
[name]Simone[/name]: [name]Love[/name] [name]Simone[/name]!
[name]Linnea[/name] (too uncommon, pron. problems): I don’t think [name]Linnea[/name] will be a problem…
[name]Audrey[/name]: Beautiful…
BOYS:
[name]August[/name], nn [name]Gus[/name]: [name]LOVE[/name]!!!
[name]Zachary[/name]: A bit dated for me
[name]Henry[/name]: Awesom! I adore [name]Henry[/name] [name]August[/name]!
[name]Dillon[/name]: Very trendy…
You have so many great names!
Here are some more ideas:
[name]Adeline[/name] [name]Virginia[/name]
[name]Adelia[/name] [name]Virginia[/name]
[name]Aurelia[/name] [name]Virginia[/name]
[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Virginia[/name]
[name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Virginia[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Virginia[/name] (although it may be too much of a place name!)
[name]Clementine[/name] [name]Virginia[/name]
[name]Clara[/name] [name]Virginia[/name]
[name]Celia[/name] [name]Virginia[/name]
[name]Camille[/name] [name]Virginia[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Virginia[/name] (Flows better than [name]Amelia[/name]…)
[name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Virginia[/name]
[name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Virginia[/name]
[name]Elodie[/name] [name]Virginia[/name]
[name]Juliet[/name] [name]Virginia[/name]
[name]Katherine[/name] [name]Virginia[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Virginia[/name]
[name]Laurel[/name] [name]Virginia[/name]
[name]Mariel[/name] [name]Virginia[/name]
[name]Marielle[/name] [name]Virginia[/name]
[name]Phoebe[/name] [name]Virginia[/name]
[name]Susannah[/name] [name]Virginia[/name]
[name]Willa[/name] [name]Virginia[/name]
With the middle name [name]Virginia[/name], I really likes [name]Susan[/name]'s suggestion of [name]Paige[/name]. I also like both [name]Amelia[/name] and [name]Audrey[/name].
[name]Hi[/name]!
I think that with the middle name [name]Virginia[/name] and a lot of the suggested first names out there from other posters, you’re running a big risk of sounding very southern belle ([name]Scarlet[/name] [name]Virginia[/name] really shouts Antebellum South to me). Of the girls’ names you’ve already come up with, I really like the name [name]Audrey[/name] as it’s very sophisticated, and I do think that it goes with [name]Virginia[/name] in the syllable cadence, as well as being of interest in mixing two different styles. Plus, I don’t think you should sweat it too much–off course you want to pick a great name, but how many people in your life even know your middle name?
As for your boys’ names, [name]Zachary[/name] is my personal favorite, but I think they’d all be just fine (although I must admit that the name [name]Gus[/name] just reminds me of the fat, dim-witted mouse from [name]Cinderella[/name]).
