Historical Sibling Names

Name Advice
1

Hey all,

I am looking for a very special sibling name! I am a history teacher, and so is my husband, so we decided to name our daughters after important historical events/locations. So our two daughters are named [name_f]Selma[/name_f] (after the [name_f]Selma[/name_f] Civil Rights [name_u]March[/name_u]) and [name_u]Ellis[/name_u] (after [name_u]Ellis[/name_u] Island). We are now expecting another addition to the family, and would love to hear what y’all are thinking of! My current favorite is [name_m]Lowell[/name_m] (after the [name_m]Lowell[/name_m] Textile [name_m]Mills[/name_m]) but I’m not 100% sold. We won’t be learning the gender, so either helps! Thanks so much! :slight_smile:
