We find out if it’s a girl or boy on Friday, but in the meantime, I’ve been thinking about [name]Rosemary[/name]. I don’t know how much I like it. The bonus is that it’s a combo of my grandmother and dh’s grandmother’s names, and nature/noun name (my favorite).
[name]Do[/name] you like [name]Rosemary[/name]? Would she always be [name]Rosie[/name]? Does [name]Rory[/name] work as a nn? Any stunning combos you can think of to win me over (either first or middle names). Last name is one syllable, starts with S.
TTA!!
Other names we’ve talked about:
[name]Juniper[/name] - I don’t like as much as [name]June[/name], which doesn’t go with our last name. Dh’s favorite name right now.
[name]Sparrow[/name] - This was the agreed upon name 3 months ago, and I still like it, but I don’t know if it’s “it” anymore
[name]January[/name] - I like it more than dh
[name]Coraline[/name] - I’m not a huge fan of [name]Cora[/name], and I know it’ll be a nn
[name]Betsy[/name] - maybe with [name]Elizabeth[/name] as a full name, but I’m not a fan of [name]Liz[/name], which will be the default nn I’m afraid
[name]Sylvie[/name], [name]Stella[/name] - I like ok, but their main appeal is the alliteration with our last name. I love the same letter in the first/last name
[name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Alice[/name] - I go back and forth on. Dh isn’t keen.
I think [name]Rory[/name] can work as a nn. [name]Romy[/name] is my favorite nn for [name]Rosemary[/name]. From your list, I like the combo [name]Rosemary[/name] [name]Alice[/name].
I like [name]Rosemary[/name]! I am a big fan of the rose names.
The only [name]Rosemary[/name] I know is a lady, probably in late 40s, and she goes by [name]Rosemary[/name]. No nicknames.
I don’t know what her middle name is - sorry.
[name]Juniper[/name] is cute, but too trendy for my taste. I would use it for a cat or dog. [name]Junia[/name] is pretty for a girl. I do like [name]Junie[/name] as a nickname.
[name]Sparrow[/name] is also really too modern for me, but I do have a thing for [name]Starling[/name].
[name]January[/name] is cool! It is my birth month, so maybe that is whyI like it.
[name]Coraline[/name] is a fave of mine! I would use it as a full name and not shorten it to [name]Cora[/name]. I like [name]Caroline[/name] and it isn’t usually shortened. I don’t think [name]Coraline[/name] should be either.
[name]Betsy[/name] is adorable! My taste is more vintage, so [name]Betsy[/name] appeals to me. You might like [name]Bettina[/name], [name]Elisabetta[/name]/[name]Elizabetta[/name], [name]Isabetta[/name]. They have “bet” in them, so [name]Betsy[/name] could work as a mn for any of them. I like [name]Bette[/name]. (Like [name]Bette[/name] Midler)
[name]Sylvie[/name] and [name]Stella[/name] are sweet. I like them.
[name]Hazel[/name] is one vintage name that I just don’t like the sound of. It’s too harsh.
[name]Alice[/name] is lovely. Someone suggested [name]Rosemary[/name] [name]Alice[/name], which sounds nice. Other middle name suggestions: [name]June[/name], [name]Pearl[/name], [name]Adele[/name], [name]Evelyn[/name], [name]Eloise[/name], [name]Lark[/name], [name]Honor[/name], [name]Quinn[/name]
