Hi everyone! One of my best friends and his wife are expecting their first child. However, they have very different styles and struggle to find a name that feels like their baby’s name. It would be lovely if you had suggestions that seem to compromise between both of their styles!
They do not know the sex of the baby, but the middle name will most likely be Japanese, as it’s maternal grandmother is from Japan. They are thinking of Emiko or Amaya as a middle for a girl and Hachiro for a middle for a boy.
Mother likes names that seem bookish and vintage. Mother’s top 15:
1. Oliver / Olivia
2. Elliot / Flora
3. Fergus / Esme
4. Eugene / Cariad
5. Benjamin / Rose
6. Wyatt / Liv
7. Nicholas / Jane
8. James / Greer
9. Archer / Holiday
10. Forrest / Genevieve
11. Finn / Emmy
12. Graham / Helena
13. Hugo / Nell
14. David / Lake
15. Finley / Daphne
Father likes names that feel warm and friendly, and is not too fond of very popular names. Father’s top 10:
Maybe some of these would suit them both:
[name_f]Adelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Tesni[/name_f]
[name_f]Alisa[/name_f]
[name_f]Elise[/name_f]
[name_f]Marina[/name_f]
[name_f]Marielle[/name_f]
[name_f]Alaya[/name_f]
[name_f]Tessa[/name_f]
[name_u]Sasha[/name_u]
[name_f]Zara[/name_f]
[name_f]Carys[/name_f]
[name_f]Cerys[/name_f]
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f]
Going off of -lia names + vintage, I would suggest [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] “Ammy/Emmy” (Amalia Emiko);
[name_f]Zelda[/name_f], for the snappy Z but the vintage vibe;
[name_f]Delia[/name_f], [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] but a bit softer
[name_f]Odilia[/name_f], again, the -lia ending but the Od- adds something more grounding;
[name_f]Junia[/name_f], [name_f]Jane[/name_f] but a little sweeter
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m] nn Os, vintage but also the -s sound of [name_m]Ace[/name_m] and [name_u]Asa[/name_u]
[name_u]Flynn[/name_u], [name_u]Finn[/name_u] but a bit more modern
