My husband and I have been looking for some new names to add to our list but we’re stuck. I have no idea how to describe our name style but we really like these names:
Boys:
[name]Tristan[/name] [name]Elliot[/name]
[name]Otto[/name]
[name]Rafe[/name]
[name]Jesse[/name]
[name]Case[/name]
(We love [name]Owen[/name] too, but there seem to be little [name]Owen[/name]'s everywhere we turn. Maybe a middle name)
Girls:
[name]Adaire[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Maris[/name]
[name]Ariadne[/name]/[name]Ariane[/name]
[name]Georgia[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name]
[name]Caroline[/name]
Any name suggestions similar to these? We don’t want to overlook any gems. Thanks!
Here are my opinions and suggestions of other names you might like:
[name]Tristan[/name] [name]Elliot[/name] - this is a nice combination, though I prefer [name]Elliot[/name] over [name]Tristan[/name]. Maybe you’d also like [name]Emmet[/name] or [name]Everett[/name]?
[name]Otto[/name] - I like that it’s the same backwards and forwards, but it’s not a favourite of mine.
[name]Rafe[/name] - I don’t like this, it sounds harsh and creepy…not sure why.
[name]Jesse[/name] - this is alright. Maybe you’d like [name]Jasper[/name]? [name]Jameson[/name]? [name]Jamie[/name]?
[name]Case[/name] - I don’t like this at all…[name]Chase[/name] seems like a good alternative.
(We love [name]Owen[/name] too, but there seem to be little [name]Owen[/name]'s everywhere we turn. Maybe a middle name)…If you love [name]Owen[/name] (I do, but I agree, it’s very popular) [name]Rowan[/name] might be a name you’d like as well.
Girls:
[name]Adaire[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name] - I prefer the classic “[name]Adair[/name]” spelling. I [name]LOVE[/name] this combination! Other similar ideas: [name]Blair[/name], [name]Claire[/name], [name]Meredith[/name], [name]Maren[/name], [name]Adele[/name], [name]Ada[/name], Adaryn (prn [name]Ah[/name]-dare-in)
[name]Maris[/name]…[name]LOVE[/name]! Again, maybe you’d like [name]Maren[/name].
[name]Ariadne[/name]…very pretty. Other Greek names you might like: [name]Daphne[/name], [name]Evadne[/name], [name]Phoebe[/name], [name]Phaedra[/name]
[name]Ariane[/name]…also pretty
[name]Georgia[/name]…I like this one!
[name]Eliza[/name]…so spunky and classy! I love [name]Elizabeth[/name] too…
[name]Caroline[/name]…lovely choice.
[name]Cole[/name]? [name]Noah[/name]? [name]Leo[/name]? [name]Pierce[/name]? [name]Oliver[/name]? [name]Henry[/name]? [name]Jasper[/name]? [name]Felix[/name]?
[name]Audrey[/name]? [name]Ella[/name]? [name]Brynn[/name]? [name]Lena[/name]? [name]Sophie[/name]? [name]Lucy[/name]? [name]Angelica[/name]? [name]Violet[/name]?
Your boy taste isn’t similar to my taste, though I do love [name]Owen[/name] and [name]Elliot[/name]. Nothing bad up there (except maybe [name]Otto[/name]), but just not my style.
Your girl style is just like mine! [name]Ariadne[/name] and [name]Eliza[/name] are my favorites of your list!
Thanks for your input!
I’m not a huge fan of [name]Otto[/name] either, but my husband loves it. I feel like it’s still a bit too old man-like. And now that you mention it being creepy, [name]Rafe[/name] sounds so much like rape…I think that one is off the list. We’ve been seriously into [name]Jude[/name] and [name]Ezra[/name] for the past week too.
I am so in love with [name]Adaire[/name] and [name]Charlotte[/name] together too! I can’t figure out exactly what it is about that combo but it seems absolutely perfect.
Adaryn is great! [name]Evadne[/name] is worth considering, too. [name]Claire[/name] is on our mn list, but probably spelled as [name]Klaire[/name].
[name]Maren[/name] has been suggested to us before, but it sounds more manly and less sophisticated to me for some reason.
It’s funny you mention [name]Brynn[/name]. That used to be our favorite but it just doesn’t work with our last name.
I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Otto[/name]!!
Boys:
[name]Tristan[/name] [name]Elliot[/name] - I like this. Like pp I thought that [name]Elliot[/name] should possibly come first? Maybe you would like [name]Cillian[/name], [name]Liam[/name], [name]Nolan[/name], [name]Griffin[/name]? I second [name]Emmett[/name] and [name]Everett[/name].
[name]Otto[/name] - As I already said: [name]LOVE[/name] it. I think [name]Viggo[/name] and [name]Hugo[/name] have some of the same feel. Maybe you and hubby can compromize on [name]Hugo[/name]?
[name]Jesse[/name] - I second the person that said [name]Jasper[/name]
[name]Case[/name] - NMS
(We love [name]Owen[/name] too, but there seem to be little [name]Owen[/name]'s everywhere we turn. Maybe a middle name) - [name]How[/name] about [name]Ewan[/name]?
Girls:
[name]Adaire[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name] - very elegant.
[name]Maris[/name] - [name]How[/name] about [name]Maren[/name], like someone else suggested. I think [name]Mabel[/name] and [name]Margot[/name] have some of the same feel as well.
[name]Ariadne[/name]/[name]Ariane[/name] - I prefere [name]Ariadne[/name]. [name]How[/name] about [name]Adeline[/name], [name]Aurora[/name], [name]Leda[/name], [name]Rhea[/name], [name]Audrey[/name],
[name]Georgia[/name] - OK, what about [name]Olivia[/name], [name]Cora[/name], [name]Eleanor[/name], [name]Nora[/name], [name]Violet[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name] - NICE, suggestions are: [name]Esme[/name], [name]Ella[/name], [name]Lucy[/name], [name]Lily[/name]
[name]Caroline[/name] - Pretty, a very classic name
I like:
[name]Rafe[/name]
[name]Case[/name]
Others in the same style imo:
[name]Zeke[/name]
[name]Kale[/name]
[name]Liam[/name]
[name]Finn[/name]
[name]Zed[/name]
[name]Beau[/name]
[name]Ewan[/name]
[name]Hale[/name]
Girls I like:
[name]Adaire[/name] -beautiful, I’ve never heard this one
[name]Charlotte[/name] - I think [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Adaire[/name] flows nicer
[name]Maris[/name] - pretty
[name]Ariadne[/name]/[name]Ariane[/name] - very nice
Others:
[name]Charis[/name]
[name]Margot[/name]
[name]Lacey[/name]
[name]Isla[/name]
[name]Maeve[/name]
[name]Alys[/name]
[name]Petra[/name]
My favorites from your list are [name]Owen[/name], [name]Case[/name], & [name]Tristan[/name] for boys. I love [name]Maris[/name], [name]Adaire[/name], & [name]Ariadne[/name] most from your girl’s list.

Good [name]Luck[/name]!
These are some great suggestions!!
[name]Even[/name] though there seems to be a general consensus that [name]Elliot[/name] [name]Tristan[/name] is better, it’s very unlikely we’d switch them. We picked [name]Elliot[/name] for it significance, after [name]Jim[/name] and [name]Elisabeth[/name] [name]Elliot[/name], the missionaries, rather than our absolute love of the name. We both like the name a lot, but it’s stuck in middle name territory.
Neither of us are too into [name]Jasper[/name]. Not sure why, maybe a little too Twilight for us since I made hubby sit through all the movies?
I’m a big fan of [name]Cora[/name] and [name]Coralie[/name]! [name]Isla[/name] is great and so is [name]Alys[/name].
I love [name]Hale[/name]!
[name]Ewan[/name] is growing on me I think. I never thought of it as an alternative to [name]Owen[/name]. I’m resistant to [name]Bowen[/name] and [name]Rowan[/name]. They seem too close to a name I love without actually getting there.
[name]Kale[/name] is very good but we have a friend with that name. He’s not a good enough friend to give him that honor but close enough where it would be odd.
[name]Cillian[/name] caught my attention. But I just said it out loud, and it would be laughable with our last name.
[name]Charis[/name] would be such a good middle name, especially since the meaning is “grace”.
[name]Rhett[/name] is one of my favs that I can’t sell my husband on. I like [name]Graham[/name] but not sure it would work well for an adult.
[name]Auden[/name] is good too. And we’ve been giving [name]Iris[/name] a bit of consideration.
This is helpful (and fun!) Thanks so much!
