[name_m]Hi[/name_m]. I am very new here. [name_f]My[/name_f] mom’s friend told me about this site the other day when I was discussing baby names. I read a bunch of posts and would love some ideas from you.
When we found out we are expecting twins I wasn’t very worried (or surprised since my husband is a twin and so are my older sisters!) We named our first little girl easily ([name_f]Ann[/name_f]@ R0se) and I thought naming another child would be easy but I realized I need FOUR names - 2 girls and 2 boys names. Due date is in [name_u]August[/name_u] and I am ready to panic.
We still like [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] (our original boy’s choice) and I love [name_f]May[/name_f] for a girl but it seems a little light weight.
I like sweet old-fashioned names for girls and love familiar but unusual names in general. I’m not worried about middle names yet but will try to choose a family name.
We aren’t big nickname people either it seems - we had planned on calling [name_f]Ann[/name_f]@ R0se by the nn [name_f]Annie[/name_f] but use both names.
This went on longer than I meant but I would love any input.
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] and [name_f]May[/name_f] are lovely names and work well with [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. If you think [name_f]May[/name_f] on its own is not substantial enough, you can easily put it with another fn or use it as a nn.
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] and [name_m]David[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] and [name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] and [name_m]Isaac[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] and [name_m]Joel[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] and [name_m]Leo[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] and [name_m]Luke[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] and [name_m]Mark[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] and [name_m]Oscar[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] and [name_m]Paul[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] and [name_m]Philip[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] and [name_u]Seth[/name_u]
[name_f]May[/name_f] and [name_f]Beth[/name_f]
[name_f]May[/name_f] and [name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_f]May[/name_f] and [name_f]Ellen[/name_f]
[name_f]May[/name_f] and [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
[name_f]May[/name_f] and [name_f]Gemma[/name_f]
[name_f]May[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]May[/name_f] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]May[/name_f] and [name_f]Ruth[/name_f]
[name_f]May[/name_f] and [name_f]Sybil[/name_f]
[name_f]May[/name_f] and [name_f]Vera[/name_f]
I think [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] & [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] or [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] & [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] would be amazing, and they fit well with sister [name_f]Anna[/name_f]'s name.
Oh, and I forgot to mention [name_f]Mavis[/name_f]. Which is pronounced [name_f]May[/name_f]-vis. Another option if you’re looking for ways to lengthen [name_f]May[/name_f]. [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] is really popular with the Nameberry regulars but I prefer [name_f]Mavis[/name_f] myself.
Oh, such nice ideas! I went over things with DH and he vetoed a couple of things I thought he would ([name_f]Ruth[/name_f] and [name_f]Gemma[/name_f]) and one thing that really surprised me - [name_f]Grace[/name_f]. He thinks it sounds “harsh” and “not pretty like [name_f]Anna[/name_f].” He likes “pretty” girls names.
We are going to try to have 2 or 3 girls names and 2 or 3 boys names. I expect we will have 2 of a kind rather than one of each but you never know. Husband and my sisters are identicals. Our moms actually knew each other through Mothers of Multiples!
Alexa400 - I love the idea of [name_f]Mae[/name_f]. For some reason it seems more “namey” and substantial.
Which do you all think make good pairs?
[name_m]New[/name_m] girls list:
[name_f]Mae[/name_f]/[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]/[name_f]Mabel[/name_f] - all have passed the DH pretty test
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] - my favorite right now
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
[name_f]Stella[/name_f]
[name_f]Celeste[/name_f] (mn only)
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f] (mn only)
[name_m]New[/name_m] boys list:
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] - this will definite be used for a boy!
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m], [name_m]Isaiah[/name_m], [name_m]Josiah[/name_m] (we like but with [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] its too biblical) - mn only
[name_u]Owen[/name_u] - my favorite so far
[name_m]Ian[/name_m] - His favorite so far
[name_m]Joel[/name_m] - our surprise contender
[name_m]Luke[/name_m]
[name_m]David[/name_m] (unsure but he likes it)
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] and [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Celeste[/name_f]
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] [name_m]Joel[/name_m] and [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Georgia[/name_f]

[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] and [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_f]Celeste[/name_f]
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] and [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_f]Mabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] and [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Georgia[/name_f]
I think [name_f]May[/name_f] gets lost as a middle, it’s predictable and bland BUT as a first name it feels fresh and strong and can definitely stand alone.
[name_f]May[/name_f] and [name_f]Iris[/name_f] are both stunning.
I love [name_m]Ezra[/name_m].
Have you considered [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] & [name_u]Jude[/name_u]?
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] & [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]?
I love the sweet, old fashioned simplicity of [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. It is a delightful older sibling name to work with.
I am going to take [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] as a given for one son.

Paw - [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_f]Claire[/name_f] and especially [name_f]Lila[/name_f] are very much our style. Thank you for the suggestions.
Breaking off into boy and girl name posts but starting with girls. Boys are pared down to [name_m]Ezra[/name_m], [name_m]Ian[/name_m], [name_u]Owen[/name_u] and [name_m]Joel[/name_m], I think…
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] and [name_m]Joel[/name_m] would be a really cool pair for boys.
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f] and [name_f]Stella[/name_f] are my picks from your girls.
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] and [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] are my boy and girl picks!
I love [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] and [name_f]Mae[/name_f] together. The other names on your list are great too.
[name_f]May[/name_f] and…
