Less than two weeks to go, down to our top five.

Our daughter is due on [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] day and will be little sister to [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u]. We’re giving her a nature name like her brother, and we’re going to give her a [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] themed middle name. After help from all you guys, we’re down to our top five:
[name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f]
[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Aster[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Linnea[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]

What do you think of our final options?

I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_f]Aster[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]. Especially with [name_u]Rowan[/name_u].

I adore [name_f]Aster[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]! It is beautiful! I like [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] too.

[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] is my absolute favorite! The meaning “from the forest” is perfect for your nature theme, but [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] is also not a super-obvious nature name. Also, [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] reminds me of the color silver (obv). :slight_smile:

I like [name_f]Aster[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] best. Have you considered [name_f]Eve[/name_f] as a first name? I love just [name_f]Eve[/name_f].

[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] is stunning!

[name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f]- [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] it !
[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]- Not bad but boring compared to the other names on your list.
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]- Cute name!
[name_f]Aster[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]- Like it, I prefer [name_f]Astra[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] though.

My vote goes to [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f] :slight_smile:

[name_f]Aster[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] is beautiful! It goes perfectly with [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u].

[name_f]Aster[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] and [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] are my favorites, although I think [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] goes slightly better with [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] than [name_f]Aster[/name_f] does.

I like [name_f]Aster[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] best.

[name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f] - I do not think this one flows well at all. I would prefer [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f].

[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] - I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] this combination! I really like the name [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f]. I think it fits with [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] OK but not great, mostly because [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] gives me a cool, retro vibe but [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] seems very modern.

[name_u]Juniper[/name_u] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] - I don’t think the name [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] really grows well as an adult but it is still a pretty name. Also, unfortunately, the creative bully may notice that it includes the word Nip.

[name_f]Aster[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] - I love this. It is pretty and flows well. I also think it is a great sibling match for [name_u]Rowan[/name_u].

[name_f]Linnea[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] - I think this combination is a mouthful, but I absolutely love each name individually. I might suggest [name_f]Linnea[/name_f] [name_f]Holly[/name_f], [name_f]Linnea[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u], [name_f]Linnea[/name_f] [name_u]Frost[/name_u], [name_f]Linnea[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f].

Favorites of these: [name_f]Aster[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f], [name_f]Linnea[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u].

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f] and [name_f]Aster[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]. I’m especially pleased to see [name_f]Aster[/name_f] on the list. A beautiful flower and it means star -surprisingly underused!

[name_f]Aster[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] is so lovely!

[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] is my favorite!

I really like [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] and [name_f]Linnea[/name_f]. [name_f]Aster[/name_f] seems a bit harsh sounding. [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] and [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] are okay.

[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f], [name_f]Aster[/name_f] and [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] are all amazing and go very well with [name_u]Rowan[/name_u]. I love the tie in to [name_u]Christmas[/name_u], too! [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] is my favorite, it’s perfect!

I vote [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f]! My sister was born on [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] [name_f]Eve[/name_f] and also has the middle name [name_u]Noel[/name_u]. She has always loved it.

[name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f]!

[name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f]!

My absolute favorite is [name_f]Linnea[/name_f] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f].
