I thought that my name choices were somewhat unique, I think I am incredibly wrong.
I would love comments about our name choices (specifically are they super trendy?) and possible suggestions for similar “feeling” names.
Girls:
[name]Harper[/name] [name]Gibsyn[/name] ([name]Gib[/name] is a family name)
[name]Evyn[/name] [name]Maura[/name] (nn [name]Evy[/name]. [name]Evyn[/name] is related to family name [name]Evelyn[/name], [name]Maura[/name] related to family names [name]Mary[/name], [name]Marilyn[/name] & [name]Laura[/name])
[name]Reagan[/name] [name]Jae[/name] (mn related to family names [name]Jane[/name] & [name]James[/name]) Side question, what about [name]Reagan[/name] for a boy?
Boy:
Middle name will be [name]Daniel[/name] -
Top name right now is [name]Rowan[/name], also like the idea of starting the first name with a C to
have grandfather’s initals. (My husband was supposed to name his first son [name]Carney[/name] after his father, not happening).
A little background…
My name is [name]Kyla[/name], husband’s is [name]Ryan[/name], our last name starts with L.
Out of your choices fro girls I like [name]Harper[/name] the best.
Is [name]Evyn[/name] like [name]Evan[/name]? I’m not a fan of boys names on girls.
[name]Evelyn[/name] is beautiful though, and [name]Evie[/name] could still be a nickname!
I don’t like [name]Reagan[/name] for a girl, I like it better on a boy, but I still find it a bit too 90s.
[name]Rowan[/name] [name]Daniel[/name] L sounds good!
Heres some C names:
[name]Callum[/name]
[name]Caleb[/name]
[name]Calvin[/name]
[name]Caspar[/name]
[name]Carson[/name]
[name]Charles[/name]
If your looking for unique, if you went with names like [name]Calvin[/name] and [name]Harper[/name] [nice sibset ] then I’m certain they’d be the only ones in their class! [name]Carson[/name], [name]Caleb[/name] and [name]Charles[/name] may be a bit more on the popular side. If you went with [name]Evyn[/name] or [name]Reagan[/name] I think they’d be the only one in their class, but they names would be hard to pair sibling names with and don’t necessarily have a “style” to them.
Girls:
[name]Harper[/name] [name]Gibsyn[/name] - It all depends where you live but [name]Harper[/name] is definitely getting popular for a girl in many countries. [name]Gibsyn[/name] looks like it’s misspelled and I would avoid another surname for a girl. A unisex first name needs a more feminine middle name in my opinion for balance (eg. [name]Harper[/name] [name]Grace[/name]).
[name]Evyn[/name] [name]Maura[/name] - Why not just [name]Evelyn[/name]? [name]Evyn[/name] looks like [name]Evan[/name]. Many people think that changing an “a” to a “y” makes a traditionally male name more feminine. If you choose [name]Evyn[/name], your daughter will be correcting people all her life. I would leave [name]Evan[/name] to the boys.
[name]Reagan[/name] [name]Jae[/name] - [name]Reagan[/name] is a boys name to me as it’s way too masculine for a girl. I would just use [name]Jane[/name] for a middle name as [name]Jae[/name] looks incomplete.
Boy:
[name]Rowan[/name] - This is now being used for girls but I prefer it on a male. I like the previous posters suggestion of [name]Callum[/name] & [name]Caleb[/name] for a “C” name. One of my favourite names is [name]Canaan[/name] (a Biblical place name pronounced cainen). Other options are [name]Corbin[/name], [name]Corin[/name], [name]Cullen[/name], [name]Carsten[/name], [name]Camden[/name], [name]Conrad[/name], [name]Cooper[/name], [name]Campbell[/name], [name]Connolly[/name], [name]Connor[/name], [name]Cyrus[/name], [name]Cormac[/name], [name]Cornelius[/name] and [name]Curtis[/name]. Good luck!
[name]Harper[/name] [name]Gibsyn[/name] – [name]Harper[/name] is definitely trendy in my area and only getting more popular. I do like the name, though…but being a trendy name, I think it will eventually sound dated. [name]Gibsyn[/name] just looks wrong, and I agree that [name]Harper[/name] needs a more feminine middle name.
[name]Evyn[/name] [name]Maura[/name] – I love the name [name]Maura[/name] (or [name]Moira[/name]), but I am really not feeling [name]Evyn[/name] at all. [name]Evelyn[/name] nn [name]Evie[/name] is so sweet, though.
[name]Reagan[/name] [name]Jae[/name] – I don’t care for [name]Reagan[/name] at all, and I think it will sound dated. [name]Reagan[/name] [name]Jae[/name] could also be a boys name. If you use [name]Reagan[/name], I would find a very feminine middle name. I love [name]Jane[/name] and [name]James[/name], you should consider using those as middle names.
I do like [name]Rowan[/name] a lot, although people are using it more for girls lately.
For “C” names, I love [name]Caspar[/name], [name]Charles[/name] nn [name]Charlie[/name], [name]Cameron[/name], [name]Connor[/name], [name]Caleb[/name] and [name]Callum[/name]. Of those, [name]Caleb[/name] and [name]Connor[/name] are very popular in my area. I really like [name]Callum[/name] nn [name]Cal[/name]!
[name]Harper[/name] is extremely trendy right now. If you are looking for unique I would go with something else. [name]Harper[/name] is a lovely name though, if you dont mind the popularity. [name]Evyn[/name] seems very trendy to me too because it is simply [name]Evan[/name] with a different spelling. What about [name]Eva[/name] or [name]Everly[/name]? [name]Reagan[/name] isnt really trendy, although surnames as first names are all the rage right now, so in that light I suppose it is.
[name]Rowan[/name] [name]Daniel[/name] is a lovely name!

[name]Harper[/name] [name]Gibsyn[/name] I agree with everyone else please give her a feminine middle name if using [name]Harper[/name] and if you want [name]Gibb[/name] there you could have [name]Harper[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Gibb[/name] + surname, and that is nice but flows better as [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Harper[/name] [name]Gibb[/name]. However,if you use [name]Harper[/name] you may regret using such a popular name and there are other lovely unisex names that would give off a feminine vibe eg [name]Avalon[/name] nn [name]Ava[/name] and [name]Bellamy[/name] nn [name]Belle[/name] both gorgeous names.
[name]Evyn[/name] [name]Maura[/name] This doesn’t gel at all [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Mary[/name] would be much nicer, [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Laurel[/name] is lovely if you want to connect to [name]Laura[/name].
[name]Jane[/name] is a superb name for a girl and I would not encourage you to use [name]Reagan[/name] at all boy or girl.
[name]James[/name] for a boy is one of the ultimate names and you may like [name]Jamison[/name] too as it has a trendy vibe.
I really wouldn’t use [name]Rowan[/name] for a boy nowdays it has gone to the girls BUT I love the superb [name]Ronan[/name], and [name]Ronan[/name] [name]Daniel[/name] is very handsome.
If you want an unusual but known boy’s name and you would like to put a ‘y’ in it without it being a ‘trindy’ name then I would recommend [name]Myles[/name], and [name]Myles[/name] [name]Daniel[/name] works well. You also have the subtle ‘y’ theme between mother, father and son, ie [name]Kyla[/name], [name]Ryan[/name] and [name]Myles[/name].(but you may find this too matchy), if so [name]Miles[/name] would work a treat too.
To sum up I would go for either [name]Ronan[/name] [name]Daniel[/name] or [name]Myles[/name] [name]Daniel[/name] and for a daughter I would stick to the more feminine names eg [name]Ava[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] or [name]Ava[/name] [name]Gibb[/name], of course [name]Ava[/name] is popular but oh so beautiful.
For a less used name [name]Evelyn[/name] nn [name]Eve[/name]/[name]Eva[/name] is so pretty, eg [name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Jane[/name].
[name]Harper[/name] is my favorite from your list. I would just stick with [name]Gib[/name] in the middle. Using maiden or family names in the middle is a nice, traditional choice, whether they sound “feminine” or not. I’m not a fan of gussying up meaningful names, so I wouldn’t tack on the ‘syn.’ Personally, I think [name]Harper[/name] is definitively feminine and the [name]Gib[/name] in the middle won’t confuse anyone.
[name]Harper[/name] [name]Gibsyn[/name] - as other people have said, just stick with [name]Gib[/name]. If you really don’t like it there is nothing wrong with using two MNs. [name]Harper[/name] is a unisex name though, and I feel like giving her a MN that ends in -son is just not a good idea.
[name]Evyn[/name] [name]Maura[/name] - Beyond [name]Evyn[/name] being a boys name, I just don’t feel like the name has any flow. [name]Evelyn[/name] is a nice enough name on it’s own. However; if you don’t want to use it [name]Eve[/name] and [name]Evangeline[/name] could be good alternatives. [name]Eve[/name] [name]Maura[/name] [name]Gib[/name] sounds really pretty to me.
[name]Reagan[/name] [name]Jae[/name] - I think [name]Reagan[/name] goes perfectly fine either way. Definitely my favorite from your list, though I am not fond of the MN. I understand what you are trying to do…but there is just something off about it. [name]Remember[/name], you don’t have to smoosh as many people into your child’s name. They are their own person and while it is wonderful to honor, there is no need to go all [name]Renesmee[/name] (sp?). It usually doesn’t end well.
I really like [name]Rowan[/name]. If you are trying to stay away from trendy just know that it is on the rise. As for [name]Carney[/name], how about Cairbre (also spelled Carbrey or [name]Carbry[/name]). Really similar, but without the circus connections. [name]Carson[/name], [name]Carter[/name] or [name]Carver[/name] could work too.
Some other names that have the same feeling, but aren’t as tryndee…or at least as used. Girls
[name]Annika[/name]
[name]Audra[/name]
[name]Belen[/name] (beh-[name]LEN[/name])
[name]Briar[/name]
[name]Bronwyn[/name]
[name]Carmel[/name]
[name]Danica[/name]
[name]Dara[/name]
[name]Darby[/name]
[name]Delaney[/name]
[name]Olwyn[/name]
[name]Piper[/name]
[name]Pippa[/name]
[name]Ruby[/name]
[name]Sloane[/name]
[name]Tamsin[/name]
] then I’m certain they’d be the only ones in their class! [name]Carson[/name], [name]Caleb[/name] and [name]Charles[/name] may be a bit more on the popular side. If you went with [name]Evyn[/name] or [name]Reagan[/name] I think they’d be the only one in their class, but they names would be hard to pair sibling names with and don’t necessarily have a “style” to them.
