I really love the name [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] and the hubs likes it pretty well too. However our last name is similar to [name_m]Hill[/name_m] in that it is a one syllable topographic/geographic name that starts with H. I’m concerned that the name would sound too much like a place name. [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_m]Hill[/name_m]?
I also like [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], but it’s a distant second.
What do you guys think? [name_f]Do[/name_f] you have any suggestions for names similar to [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]/[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]? Middle name suggestions?
My other favorites that the husband has said no to: [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f], [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], [name_f]Claire[/name_f], and [name_u]Quinn[/name_u].
The hubs likes the classics: [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], etc. They’re lovely but not exactly my style.
What we seem to agree on are traditional names that are a little more “spunky.” Can you help us?
I love [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_m]Hill[/name_m] sounds great and not too much like a place name.

I prefer [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] by a long shot! [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] feels quite trendy to me and it’s one of my least favorite nature names. I think that since your husband prefers the classic and you prefer the more quirky names it’s the perfect compromise and feels a lot more fresh and lovely than the traditional [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] without feeling trendy.
I’m digging [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]. Thanks
