Help with baby names

Hello, my husband and I are expecting a baby and we are very excited, but I need some help with baby names. Our last name is [name_f]Nix[/name_f] so I want to avoid names that end in “n” which is making it hard to find some names. I like old fashioned names like [name_m]Stuart[/name_m], [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], [name_m]Franklin[/name_m], and [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]. Does anyone have any suggestions for any names? I definitely need more girl names and my husband has been pretty picky.

Congrats!

With your last name, I think a longer name would suit best - though you could go for a zippy one syllable too.

[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] (though I don’t like [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]! [name_f]Leni[/name_f] and [name_f]Nora[/name_f] might be too much with your last name but they’re my fave nn for [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], otherwise Ella)
[name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] (flows so well! nn [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] or Libby)
[name_f]Olivia[/name_f] (super glam with Nix)
[name_f]Annabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Claudia[/name_f] (a fave of mine!)
[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] (though maybe too popular over last decade -perhaps Arabella?)
[name_f]Willamina[/name_f] (nn Willa)
[name_f]Julia[/name_f]
[name_f]Veronica[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Polly[/name_f] or [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] if [name_m]Penn[/name_m] [name_f]Nix[/name_f] not your style)
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Tabby[/name_f] or [name_f]Tibby[/name_f] - [name_f]Tibby[/name_f] [name_f]Nix[/name_f] is darling!)

I would avoid “ine” ending names as much as I love them.

[name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
[name_m]Christopher[/name_m]
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_m]Samuel[/name_m]
[name_m]Conrad[/name_m]
[name_m]Lucas[/name_m]
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m]
[name_m]Robert[/name_m]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_m]Rafferty[/name_m]
[name_m]Everett[/name_m]
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]
[name_m]William[/name_m]
[name_m]Joseph[/name_m]

Would suggest [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] but it’s just way too popular, same with [name_m]Edward[/name_m] and [name_m]August[/name_m], know about a dozen kids with these names. [name_m]Edward[/name_m] (nn [name_m]Eddie[/name_m] or Teddy/Ted) would be the best with your last name of these three.

You have a fantastic list started!

If you like [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] maybe

Leonor-has the elegance of [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] without the popularity. It also would go very well with your boys list. I like that you could still use the nickname [name_f]Nora[/name_f] if you’d like.

[name_f]Estelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Vera[/name_f]
[name_f]Edith[/name_f]

I really like the nickname [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] for [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] or I could just use the name [name_f]Nellie[/name_f]. These names are all so beautiful! Thank you!

Of course! [name_f]Nellie[/name_f]! [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] and [name_f]Nell[/name_f] are (the) top nickname options. [name_m]Super[/name_m] cool, esp with your last name.

I’d be tempted to go for a Greek mythology name like [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f], [name_f]Athena[/name_f], [name_f]Minerva[/name_f]. [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] is also beautiful
