I am officially out of the first trimester, so we are ramping up talks about names. My husband and I are having a hard time finding names that both of us like, so far this is what we have agreed upon:
Margot
Wren
Lily
My husband likes more traditional, vintage names (he loves Florence, but that is not a name I am a fan of) and I tend to like shorter, spunkier names (Romy and Neve have been my fave names, but sound awful with our last name).
We’d like to have about three-five options for each gender and then will narrow them down when we meet our little one.
Would love any middle name suggestions along with any names you think we’d like. Two things we DO NOT want: v-heavy names, or anything that is very long-e heavy. Our last name starts with a long e and is v-heavy.
With [name_f]Margot[/name_f] , [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and [name_u]Wren[/name_u] I can see
[name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f]
[name_u]Willow[/name_u]
[name_u]Harper[/name_u]
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f]
[name_u]Rae[/name_u]
[name_f]Mia[/name_f]
[name_f]Edie[/name_f]
[name_f]Dot[/name_f] / [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f]
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
[name_u]Garnet[/name_u] ( Nettie)
Some other ideas…
[name_f]Brianna[/name_f]
[name_f]Fern[/name_f]
[name_u]Brook[/name_u]
[name_u]Skye[/name_u]
[name_f]Lacey[/name_f]
[name_f]Lila[/name_f]
[name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosie[/name_f]
One of the nice things about longer names is you can get pretty fun shorter nicknames! I.E. [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] nn [name_f]Lizz[/name_f], [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] nn [name_m]Nas[/name_m], [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] nn [name_u]Jo[/name_u]!
Thank you! I LOVE [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], but I’m afraid it doesn’t sound good with our last name. Maybe I’m overthinking it. The first syllable of our last name is [name_f]Eve[/name_f], does that sound okay with [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] or does it kind of truncate it?
[name_f]Rosie[/name_f] and [name_f]Mae[/name_f] are lovely suggestions! A combo I was thinking of is [name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] or [name_u]Wren[/name_u] [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]. How do you think those sound? Too R heavy?
I think I might like [name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] even a bit more than [name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]! But no matter what you decide on, your names are all glorious! So excited to hear what you and DH decide
I adore [name_f]Margot[/name_f]! Something like [name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Freya[/name_f], [name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], [name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Primrose[/name_f], [name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Luella[/name_f] or [name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] would be gorgeous.
