Help me find a classic name I love with my last name

DH and I are hoping to conceive again and I’m still on the hunt for a girl’s name that I love with my last name. Tys0n. It seems like many of the names I like emphasize the “s” in [name]Tyson[/name] in a lispy way.

Siblings are in my siggy. In an ideal world the next girl’s name would not start with P, C, M, K, or J. Additionally, it bugs me a tad that only one of our kiddos has a multisyllabic name. This doesn’t bother my husband at all.

Perhaps another muli-syllable name to balance it out?

[name]Elizabeth[/name]/[name]Eliza[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Lydia[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Isabel[/name]/[name]Isabelle[/name]/[name]Isobel[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Sophia[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Vivienne[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Adrienne[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Audrey[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Dorothy[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Alexandra[/name]/[name]Alessandra[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Anneliese[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Abigail[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Alice[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Susannah[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Delilah[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Eva[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Victoria[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Lucia[/name]/[name]Lucille[/name]/[name]Lucinda[/name]/[name]Lucienne[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Helena[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Georgia[/name]/[name]Georgina[/name]/[name]Georgiana[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Florence[/name]/[name]Flora[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]

I like the name on your list [name]Grace[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name], that’s my little cousins name!

  1. [name]Louisa[/name]
  2. [name]Julia[/name]
  3. [name]Virginia[/name]
  4. [name]Georgia[/name]

I also like [name]Lucy[/name] for you - but I’m thinking that is the sort of lispy sound you are afraid of with your last name. I think it sounds nice though.

This will make my hubby happy as [name]Lucy[/name] is his favorite.

Thanks for the ideas. I’ve been thinking about [name]Lydia[/name] lately. Hubby has always vetoed it, but I think he’s weakening as he is now willing to admit he likes Liddy. I think [name]Isabel[/name] works well with my last name too but seems like my kids know a lot of little Isabelles.

I think [name]Elizabeth[/name] is a little hard to say with my last name. I’m also not loving the prominent “t” in [name]Beatrice[/name] and [name]Victoria[/name] with my last name.

I love [name]Grace[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]! I would go with [name]Mary[/name] [name]Grace[/name]. [name]Mary[/name] is one of my favorites and would go perfectly with your other kids.

I do love [name]Mary[/name] [name]Grace[/name]! I worry though that visually [name]Mary[/name] is some what of a combo of [name]Mark[/name]'s and [name]Clare[/name]'s name.

I should probably just let myself embrace [name]Grace[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] but I keep second guessing myself.

I know you know I love [name]Grace[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] :slight_smile: it’s beautiful and works perfectly with your other children. I do also really like [name]Caroline[/name] for you, I think it would be sweet that the girls would all have the “k” sound…[name]Lydia[/name] is pretty, and a little "Liddy"would be precious!

Liddy really is adorable, isn’t it?

Hmm…how about:

[name]Vera[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Ruby[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Farrah[/name]/[name]Faye[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Liliana[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Verity[/name] [name]Tyson[/name] (When I say it, the ty- sounds more like a -dee)
[name]Rebecca[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Valerie[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Hannah[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Daphne[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Phoebe[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Maya[/name] [name]Tyson[/name] (my-ah)
[name]Stella[/name]/[name]Estelle[/name] [name]Tyson[/name] (I think the T sounds in this flow nicely together)
[name]Sadie[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Gabrielle[/name]/[name]Gabriella[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Rosalie[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Rosamund[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Leonora[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Shira[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Ramona[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Aurora[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Angelina[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Reese[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]
[name]Simone[/name] [name]Tyson[/name]

Edit: Have you thought about Gracia (Grace-see-ah or Gray-sha), if you’re second-guessing Grace?

[name]Even[/name] when discussing [name]Caroline[/name] with my husband I find myself saying Claroline. In fact, I think part of the reason we like it is that it reminds me of [name]Clare[/name]'s name. I could put that aside as I know that for a while I was calling [name]Clare[/name] Clatharine and I don’t do that any more (now, I just call [name]Clare[/name] [name]Katharine[/name]…oops). It’s the theme that worries me the most. When dh and I got married we wanted a bunch of kids but that hasn’t quite happened and I’m approaching 40, but who knows maybe we’ll still end up with a few more. If they are all girls, I don’t want to feel confined to a C/K theme particularly as I bet most of the names we’d like would all start with the C.

How about [name]Charlotte[/name]? I know you don’t want another C name, but I love [name]Charlotte[/name] with [name]Paul[/name], [name]Clare[/name], [name]Mark[/name], [name]Katharine[/name], and [name]James[/name].
Other ideas:

[name]Abigail
Rose
Eliza[/name]

[name]Grace[/name] is lovely!

I understand your concerns though. If like you say you might have a few more kids, more one syllable names kind of strengthen the trend.

Besides the C/K, [name]Clare[/name] and [name]Katharine[/name] are united by being accepted but not the most common spellings. So that’s something to consider

Besides [name]Grace[/name], I can also see (besides the many good suggestions here…I might of course repeat on accident)

[name]Elisabeth[/name] (I think you said you didn’t like this as a first? But in case I’m misremembering that. I think it’s nice).

[name]Eva[/name] (two syllable variant of a Biblical name, fairly classic)

[name]Anna[/name] (see [name]Hannah[/name])

[name]Hannah[/name] (Biblical and familiar/classic - the short A ties it in with [name]Clare[/name] and [name]Katharine[/name] a bit)

[name]Laura[/name] (classic)

[name]Leah[/name] (Biblical and familiar/classic)

[name]Natalie[/name]/[name]Nathalie[/name] for an accepted not-most-common (classic and the allusion to [name]Christmas[/name] may go with the boys’ Biblical names and girls’ saints’ names. I know you didn’t love T’s though…I think it could work though)

[name]Rachel[/name]/Raechel for an accepted not-most-common (Biblical)

[name]Rebecca[/name]/[name]Rebekah[/name] ([name]Rebekah[/name] for an accepted not-most-common; Biblical; either spelling gets you the C or K to tie with the girls, just not at the beginning)

Thanks for the suggestions. The funny thing is that my name is [name]Laura[/name]; [name]Rebecca[/name] is my only sister, and my husband is [name]Nathan[/name] which is way too close to [name]Natalie[/name] for me; and [name]Hannah[/name] is the name of my niece. [name]Anna[/name] nn [name]Annie[/name] would be a leading contender but we are 100% set on [name]Andrew[/name] for a baby and I’ll only consider [name]Anna[/name] if I’m really sure it’s my last baby. [name]Leah[/name] has been on my list before but I don’t really like her story and we make a pretty huge deal about the kids namesakes. That’s also why [name]Eve[/name] and [name]Eve[/name] variants aren’t on our list.

You seem to still be swaying toward 1-syllable names, so I stuck a few in there too.

1-syllable names
[name]Dawn[/name] Tys0n
[name]Faye[/name] Tys0n
[name]Fern[/name] Tys0n
[name]Hope[/name] Tys0n
[name]Lynne[/name] Tys0n

>1-syllable names
[name]Amanda[/name] Tys0n
[name]Amelia[/name] Tys0n
[name]Angela[/name] Tys0n
[name]Anita[/name] Tys0n
[name]Deborah[/name] Tys0n
[name]Diana[/name] Tys0n
[name]Emily[/name] Tys0n
[name]Felicity[/name] Tys0n
[name]Fiona[/name] Tys0n
[name]Harriet[/name] Tys0n
[name]Livia[/name] Tys0n
[name]Naomi[/name] Tys0n
[name]Nicola[/name] Tys0n
[name]Olivia[/name] Tys0n

I really like [name]Grace[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]. I think it goes well with your other kids. [name]Julia[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name], and [name]Meredith[/name] would go great but you mentioned that you didn’t want to use any of the other kids intials. Here are some others that may work. [name]Paul[/name], [name]Clare[/name], [name]Mark[/name], [name]Katharine[/name], and [name]James[/name]

[name]Annabelle[/name]
[name]Evelyn[/name]
[name]Audrey[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name]
[name]Bridget[/name]
[name]Daisy[/name]
[name]Emily[/name]
[name]Emma[/name]

[name]Hazel[/name]
[name]Lilia[/name]
[name]Genevieve[/name]
[name]Savannah[/name]
[name]Lila[/name]
[name]Ruby[/name]
[name]Zoe[/name]
[name]Elise[/name]
[name]Rose[/name]
[name]Lillian[/name]
[name]Belle[/name]/ [name]Bella[/name]
[name]Rosalind[/name]/ [name]Rosalie[/name]
[name]Florence[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name]
[name]Norah[/name]
[name]Sophie[/name]

It’s interesting to see [name]Emily[/name] mentioned twice. I had never really considered [name]Emily[/name] but had been thinking of it lately and part of what drew me to it was that I thought it sounded nice with my last name.

[name]Emily[/name] is very pretty (I am biased, of course!) and would go very nicely with your last name and your children’s names.:slight_smile:

I think all of these sound great with your surname and your sibset.

[name]Adele[/name]
[name]Amelia[/name]
[name]Evelyn[/name]
[name]Bianca[/name]
[name]Hannah[/name]
[name]Ruby[/name]
