Let me bend your ear for a second

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone!

Im in need of a some suggestions and ideas and I have exhausted the people around me. So it’s your turn!

Im currently pregnant with our fourth (omg, how did this happen?!?) child. Finally, we are having a baby girl!

We’ve settled on a name, but we are not 100%. I think a lot of it has to do with being so excited to name a female child that we don’t want to get it wrong. And too, Im horribly indecisive, lol. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband and I have very common names so we fancy those that are a little left field.

The name we have right now is [name_f]Marceline[/name_f] [name_f]Io[/name_f] Lastname, and she’ll be nicknamed [name_f]Marcy[/name_f]. We would kind of like to move [name_f]Io[/name_f] to the first name spot, but are hesitant for some reason. We also like the name Aeryn.

Any thoughts? Any other names that flow well with [name_f]Io[/name_f]? We are not opposed to double first names.

For what its worth, our other children are [name_m]Azriel[/name_m], [name_m]Jovan[/name_m], and [name_m]Desmond[/name_m].

Thanks so much for your help!

[name_f]Marceline[/name_f] fits right in with your sib set!

Excellent choice for your sibset! [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Io[/name_f] as the middle.

I really love your son’s names, wow!

[name_m]How[/name_m] are you pronouncing [name_f]Marceline[/name_f]? I love the way it looks and I love the name but just want to be sure I’ve got it right.

[name_f]Marceline[/name_f] is pretty. [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t name a child Aeryn. It’s way too close to [name_m]Aryan[/name_m].

You have an [name_m]Azriel[/name_m]! I love [name_m]Azriel[/name_m]!

Anyway, [name_f]Marceline[/name_f] is stunning. [name_f]Io[/name_f] is gorgeous. I would be torn between FNs of those two, too!

Aeryn looks like yet one more of the [name_f]Erin[/name_f]/[name_m]Aaron[/name_m] family, I’m sure it’s not actually just a misspelling gone wrong but I’ve seen so many it falls flat for me. And I wouldn’t long to repeat FN initials if I liked other names as much/more.

[name_f]Io[/name_f] works well as a FN with middles like [name_f]Marceline[/name_f], [name_f]Melusine[/name_f], or [name_f]Zephirine[/name_f].

It also works with ones like [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f], [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f], and [name_f]Calanthe[/name_f].

I might avoid ones that are more letters for fewer syllables, i.e. [name_f]Io[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]. Confuses my eyes somehow.

[name_f]Marceline[/name_f] is a gorgeous name! and it fits so well with the longer names of your other kids!

[name_f]Marceline[/name_f] is stunning! [name_f]Marcy[/name_f] is absolutely adorable!
Good luck!

[name_f]Marceline[/name_f] has been my favorite name for a looong time now. I’m glad to see it being used! :smiley: [name_f]Marceline[/name_f] [name_f]Io[/name_f] is perfection! I would avoid [name_f]Io[/name_f] [name_f]Marceline[/name_f], as it lacks a lot of versatility. Beautiful name!
