General Name Discussion

Celebrating a POSITIVE PT with a new post.

My baby name formula is: 1. Short name (for girls) + 2. Longer feminine name (again for girls only) + 3. Variation of family name
Our goal is to eventually use all mothers and grandmothers names. Im adopted and very close to my birth family so it just doubles the names

Family names, here it goes! (* already used)
[name]Doris[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] “[name]Lynn[/name]”/ [name]Robert[/name] Herald
[name]Margaret[/name]* / [name]Raymond[/name] [name]Joseph[/name]
[name]Lois[/name] [name]Amelia[/name] / [name]Clayton[/name] [name]Henry[/name]
[name]Carol[/name] [name]Jean[/name] / [name]William[/name] [name]David[/name]
[name]Betty[/name] [name]Jean[/name] [name]Murray[/name] / [name]John[/name] [name]Henry[/name]

Always looking for a J name for my husband and brothers all start with J
Biblical names, reference and themes are always a bonus.

Family names can be loose variations
Have at it berries! The possibilities are endless!!

[name]Just[/name] for clarification before I tackle this.

You only want girl name suggestions.
The first name you want a short name.
First middle name you want to be a little longer.
Second middle name you would like to be relate to family names.
If you can honor a family name in any of the names it’s a go.

What are the names of the [name]Jr[/name]. you have in your list?

I find it difficult to maintain poetry or flow in a name if it goes longer than a total of three. The surname is 33.333 percent of that total, so it is helpful to know the sounds of that, too. I do see some nice duos, though, that could bring both male and female family names into play:

[name]Errol[/name] [name]Caroline[/name]

Raymie [name]Evelyn[/name]

[name]Lois[/name] [name]Davida[/name]

[name]Willa[/name] [name]Brianna[/name]

Congratulations, [name]Karen[/name]! The possibilities [i]are[i] endless! I’ll try my best.
Ok, I’ll try and make some combos for you. [name]Do[/name] the first middles need to have family significance?
[name]Ivy[/name] [name]Junia[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] - [name]Do[/name] you still love this as much as I do? [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Ivy[/name] [name]June[/name]!
[name]Ivy[/name] [name]Cordelia[/name] [name]Margaret[/name] - I love [name]Cordelia[/name]
[name]Ivy[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Margaret[/name] - honours [name]Carol[/name] [name]Jean[/name]
[name]Ivy[/name] [name]Josephine[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] - [name]Elizabeth[/name] to honour [name]Betty[/name], [name]Josephine[/name] for [name]Joseph[/name]
[name]Ivy[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Bettina[/name] - [name]Bettina[/name] to honour [name]Betty[/name]
[name]Ivy[/name] [name]Matilda[/name] [name]Louise[/name]- [name]Louise[/name] for [name]Lois[/name] and for [name]Cindy[/name] [name]Lou[/name]

[name]Eve[/name] [name]Susannah[/name] [name]Margaret[/name]

[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Matilda[/name] [name]Juliet[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Ramona[/name] [name]Jane[/name]

Ok, I am running out of steam for girls names. My favourite first name choice for you is [name]Ivy[/name], followed by [name]Phoebe[/name]. My fave combo is probably [name]Ivy[/name] [name]Junia[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] or [name]Ivy[/name] [name]Cordelia[/name] [name]Margaret[/name]. I also like [name]Phoebe[/name] [name]Catherine[/name] [name]Eloise[/name].

For boys (do both middles need to be family?):
[name]William[/name] [name]Joseph[/name] [name]Henry[/name]
[name]William[/name] [name]Robert[/name] [name]Errol[/name]
[name]William[/name] [name]John[/name] [name]Raymond[/name]

[name]Thatcher[/name] [name]Raymond[/name] [name]John[/name]
[name]Thatcher[/name] [name]John[/name] [name]Raymond[/name]
[name]Thatcher[/name] [name]William[/name] [name]August[/name]
[name]Thatcher[/name] [name]David[/name] [name]Brian[/name]

[name]Jasper[/name] [name]Clayton[/name] [name]Louis[/name]
[name]Jasper[/name] [name]Henry[/name] [name]Sebastian[/name]

[name]Finn[/name] [name]Clayton[/name] [name]Joseph[/name]
[name]Finn[/name] [name]William[/name] [name]David[/name]

Hopefully some of this helps!

the names with out an (m) by them are female. If the meaning of the name is not exact then I put the meaning beside the name in (). If the meaning of the name is more than one word I looked up the individual words, the site I use doesn’t just five me the names with that meanign but if the word shows up in the description and where the name came from as well, and put the exact meanings of the names I found in (). I did not look for names that have the same sound i.e. [name]Sidney[/name] for [name]Cindy[/name], which is a great idea by th way. I hope this helps.

[name]Joanna[/name]/[name]Johana[/name] is a great name for you: covers the letter ‘J’, has the same meaning as [name]Jean[/name], and has ‘[name]Ann[/name]’ & it’s a biblical name
I think this name allows you to honor [name]Julie[/name] [name]Ann[/name], [name]Carol[/name] [name]Jean[/name], & [name]Betty[/name] [name]Jean[/name] [name]Murray[/name] in one name!
Then, [name]Lucy[/name] for [name]Lynn[/name] and [name]Lois[/name], and everyone is honored with a name to spare.

[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Johana[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name] ([name]Charlotte[/name] for [name]Carol[/name])
[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Joanna[/name] [name]Dorothy[/name] ([name]Dorothy[/name] for [name]Doris[/name])
[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Amelia[/name] [name]Joanna[/name] ([name]Dorothy[/name] for [name]Doris[/name])
[name]Lucy[/name] [name]Joanna[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] ([name]Elizabeth[/name] for [name]Betty[/name])

I love your daughter’s names! Good [name]Luck[/name]!

Are you looking for boys’ names too? I wan’t sure . . .

Wow, you guys are AMAZING!!! I didn’t realize how many variants there were…truly the possibilities are endless!
I’ll have to really study all these suggestions more. Never thought about [name]Johana[/name]. That’s a great suggestion!

Boys names are welcome! I should clarify, [name]Robert[/name] will be 2nd mn for a boy. Leaning towards [name]William[/name] nn [name]Will[/name] as a fn.
For a J name I was thinking either [name]Josephine[/name] or [name]James[/name]. [name]Johanna[/name] is now added.
I think I’m going to concentrate on honoring [name]Doris[/name] [name]Evelyn[/name] “[name]Lynn[/name]”(for girl only) and [name]Raymond[/name] [name]Joseph[/name] (either) first.

Never thought [name]Phoebe[/name] for [name]Robert[/name] and [name]Lucy[/name] for [name]Lynn[/name] and [name]Lois[/name]!

Ps…so my tests were invalid :frowning: have to start over when I get some more. But pretty sure I am, since I’m sick Again!!
