My style seems to be all over the place lately. At first when I found out I was pregnant I wanted strict classic names for my children. Then I fell in love with way too many names and I can’t seem to get a concrete list. I’m not really in love with anything for the girls… The boys on the other hand I love every name I have chosen. Please help me narrow down before I drive my family and husband insane.
[name]Molly[/name] [name]Lynette[/name] or [name]Macy[/name] [name]Lynette[/name] or [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Lynette[/name]
[name]Peyton[/name] [name]Elodie[/name] or [name]Paisley[/name] [name]Elise[/name] [name]Ariel[/name] [name]Susannah[/name] or [name]Aurora[/name] [name]Savannah[/name]
[name]Miranda[/name] [name]Lily[/name] or [name]Mina[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name]

[name]Lucia[/name] [name]Rudy[/name] or [name]Lucille[/name] [name]Rudy[/name]

[name]Molly[/name] [name]Lynette[/name]
[name]Paisley[/name] [name]Elise[/name] (if I had to choose, not really a fan of either)
[name]Ariel[/name] [name]Savannah[/name]
[name]Miranda[/name] [name]Lily[/name] or [name]Mina[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name]- [name]BOTH[/name]
[name]Dorothy[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Cassia[/name] [name]Rhys[/name]
[name]Sylvia[/name] [name]Laurel[/name] - ([name]Love[/name] the imagery)

Thank you all for the input and suggests! I’ve decided agaisnt [name]Cassia[/name] [name]Rhys[/name], because I don’t like the [name]Reese[/name] spelling but everyone seems to be in the same boat as [name]Rhys[/name] for a male. Someone also mentioned that [name]Tobias[/name] [name]Jacob[/name] was too B heavy.
Names I’ve elminated thanks to your help:
[name]Lucia[/name]/[name]Lucille[/name] [name]Rudy[/name]. I was trying to honor the name Getrude, but I think it’s a sin to give that to my daughter. I thought [name]Rudy[/name] or [name]True[/name] were my only somewhat usuable options.
[name]Peyton[/name] [name]Elodie[/name]/[name]Paisley[/name] [name]Elise[/name] – [name]Peyton[/name] [name]Elodie[/name] somehow rolled off my.
[name]Natalie[/name] [name]Grace[/name] - agree that it is overused and therefore boring.
[name]Ireland[/name] [name]Kate[/name] - I love [name]Ireland[/name], but no one seemed to like it. I don’t know how it’d be taken in real life. I do love it paired with [name]Kate[/name], but maybe it’s more of a character name than one for my daughter
[name]Cassidy[/name] [name]Rena[/name]/[name]Cassia[/name] [name]Rhys[/name] - Maybe [name]Cassidy[/name] with a different middle name, loved the suggestion of [name]Renee[/name] but I’m not sold on it.
[name]Isaac[/name] [name]Elliot[/name] - I love the flow and look of this name, but with the Teen Mom connection I just don’t love it anymore.
[name]Henry[/name] [name]Aidan[/name] - I love the name [name]Aidan[/name], I know everyone hates it, and I hate the trend. But I have always loved it since I was younger. I made it a girl charcter in my novel, but it’s much too trendy and ridiculously popular for my son. I thought with [name]Aidan[/name] it might be cute, but I guess not.
[name]Keagan[/name] [name]Wesley[/name] ( I had a typo, my bad)
[name]Kellan[/name] [name]Andrew[/name]
My remaining list.
[name]Molly[/name]/[name]Macy[/name]/[name]Ruby[/name] [name]Lynette[/name]-- I still can’t decide on these, I think I’m leaning towards [name]Molly[/name], but I’m not sure on an adult [name]Molly[/name]. I love all three. ([name]Lynette[/name] also honors my mother, [name]Lynn[/name], but I don’t want just a filler middle name)
[name]Miranda[/name] [name]Lily[/name] – I just love how this flows. I would probably use the nickname [name]Mina[/name] for it.
[name]Mina[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Sophia[/name] [name]Quinn[/name]
[name]Sylvia[/name] [name]Laurel[/name]
[name]Eden[/name], not sure on the middle name. Suggestions?
[name]Iris[/name], again not sure on the middle name. Suggestions?
[name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Margaret[/name]
[name]Elena[/name] [name]Penelope[/name] or [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Alice[/name]
[name]Harrison[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] (maybe [name]Harrison[/name] [name]Thomas[/name])
[name]Caleb[/name] [name]Randolph[/name]/[name]Thomas[/name] (for the pp who asked, [name]Randolph[/name] is a family name and VERY special. It will be the middle name of one of my sons, for sure.)
[name]Noah[/name] [name]Thomas[/name] ( I’m set on brothers [name]Caleb[/name] and [name]Noah[/name]… I’ve loved them since I was a teen and hate the popularity but cannot let them go…)
[name]Neil[/name] [name]Randolph[/name]. Not one person picked this, and it breaks my heart. I know the cutest four year old [name]Neil[/name], but that’s the only little boy. It’s my alternative to the popular [name]Noah[/name] and I just can’t let it go. Maybe suggestions for another alternative?
[name]Theodore[/name] [name]Jack[/name] - I’m glad others loved this as much as I did
[name]Drew[/name] [name]Randolph[/name], not many picked this, but I still love [name]Drew[/name] and the connection with [name]Randolph[/name]
[name]Jude[/name] [name]Thomas[/name]
Is there anything you’d definitely take off the list, or middle names to make them flow better? Or any suggestions to go with my style?
[name]Molly[/name]/[name]Macy[/name]/[name]Ruby[/name] [name]Lynette[/name]-- My favorite is [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Lynette[/name], just because the repetition in [name]Molly[/name] [name]Lynette[/name] kind of bothers me. But I really like the name [name]Molly[/name].
[name]Miranda[/name] [name]Lily[/name] – one of my favorites of your list, definitely for keeps!
[name]Mina[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name] - sweet
[name]Sophia[/name] [name]Quinn[/name] - [name]Sophia[/name] is very popular, but I still kinda like it, the name has a nice flow, but is not my favorite
[name]Sylvia[/name] [name]Laurel[/name] - awesome! Probably my favorite.
[name]Eden[/name] - what about [name]Eden[/name] [name]Penelope[/name], [name]Eden[/name] [name]Sophia[/name], [name]Eden[/name] [name]Sylvia[/name], [name]Eden[/name] [name]Rosalyn[/name]?
[name]Iris[/name] - [name]Iris[/name] [name]Miranda[/name], [name]Iris[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name], [name]Iris[/name] [name]Claire[/name], [name]Iris[/name] [name]Alexandra[/name], [name]Iris[/name] [name]Noemi[/name], [name]Iris[/name] [name]Harper[/name]
[name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Margaret[/name] - good name
[name]Elena[/name] [name]Penelope[/name] or [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Alice[/name] - [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Alice[/name] or [name]Alice[/name] [name]Penelope[/name] is wonderful
[name]Harrison[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] - nice, but I think I actually prefer [name]Harrison[/name] [name]Thomas[/name]
[name]Caleb[/name] [name]Randolph[/name]/[name]Thomas[/name] - I like [name]Randolph[/name], but I’m not sure about [name]Caleb[/name]… but if you like it, go for it
[name]Noah[/name] [name]Thomas[/name] - yeah, [name]Noah[/name] is very popular right now. I’m not much into it, but it is a nice name
[name]Neil[/name] [name]Randolph[/name] - I really like [name]Neil[/name]. I think it is underused these days.
[name]Theodore[/name] [name]Jack[/name] - Nice name, [name]Theodore[/name] is getting popular, though. But there’s no inherent problem with a name being popular.
[name]Drew[/name] [name]Randolph[/name] - not my favorite
[name]Jude[/name] [name]Thomas[/name] - very nice name
Finally someone else likes [name]Neil[/name] Thanks for your suggestions, I love [name]Eden[/name] [name]Miranda[/name], [name]Iris[/name] [name]Noemi[/name], [name]Iris[/name] [name]Alexandra[/name], and [name]Iris[/name] [name]Claire[/name]
[name]Ruby[/name] [name]Lynette[/name]
[name]Peyton[/name] [name]Elodie[/name] or [name]Paisley[/name] [name]Elise[/name] (I like [name]Paisley[/name] better, and [name]Elodie[/name] better so what about [name]Paisley[/name] [name]Elodie[/name]?)
[name]Aurora[/name] [name]Savannah[/name]
[name]Miranda[/name] [name]Lily[/name]
[name]Jane[/name] [name]Dorothy[/name]
[name]Cassidy[/name] [name]Rena[/name]
[name]Sophia[/name] [name]Quinn[/name]

[name]Harrison[/name] [name]Alexander[/name]
[name]Caleb[/name] [name]Randolph[/name]
[name]Noah[/name] [name]Thomas[/name]
[name]Kane[/name] [name]Lucas[/name]
[name]Gabriel[/name] [name]Russell[/name]
[name]Theodore[/name] [name]Jack[/name]
[name]Isaac[/name] [name]Elliot[/name]
[name]Keagan[/name] Welsey or [name]Kellan[/name] [name]Andrew[/name] (again, I love [name]Kellan[/name] and [name]Wesley[/name] sooooo much more so what about [name]Kellen[/name] [name]Wesley[/name]?)
[name]Jude[/name] [name]Thomas[/name]
Thanks for your suggestions, I love [name]Eden[/name] [name]Miranda[/name], [name]Iris[/name] [name]Noemi[/name], [name]Iris[/name] [name]Alexandra[/name], and [name]Iris[/name] [name]Claire[/name]
