My husband and I finally decided on a first name that we both love, [name]Alexandria[/name]. We both also like the nn [name]Lexi[/name] (spelled this way because my husband thinks all the original letters need to be in the nn). I had some initial reservations on the name because I have a nephew with the middle name of Aleksander but we never really see them and I didn’t want my bil to think that I was naming him after his son.
So onto mn suggestions!
I think it should probably be at least two syllables to balance out the 5 in the fn and 3 in our ln. We don’t like nature names but don’t mind being a little daring in the middle spot. We were trying to think of aviation names since that is my husband’s field of work, but couldn’t find any we liked (ex. [name]Piper[/name]). He also suggests for every mn [name]Ann[/name]. It is my mn, his sister’s mn and his mother’s mn. It is just too boring and overused for me.
For help on style, some of the names we discussed and one or both of us liked were: [name]Serafina[/name] (too close to a previous gf of his), [name]Madeline[/name] (just didn’t feel right), [name]Elise[/name], [name]Emmeline[/name], [name]Mackenzie[/name], [name]Hailey[/name], and [name]Ava[/name].
[name]Edit[/name] to add [name]Charlotte[/name] as a name considered before but ex [name]SIL[/name] used it, and new [name]SIL[/name] used [name]Charlie[/name] for a girl
[name]TIA[/name] for your help berries!
Why don’t you look at the [name]Bird[/name] Name list? I think it’s under the Unusual Names list. That could be an interesting way to honor your husband’s line of work. I like that you’re considering the syllable count and possible initial spellings. Good job.
I think [name]Alexandria[/name] [name]Grace[/name] that southernbeauty suggested is great! My name is a variant of [name]Alexandria[/name], and my middle name is [name]Faith[/name] with a three syllable last name, and even though I don’t love my middle name, I love my name as a whole. [name]Piper[/name] is also great.
