List Amendments

[katienix]

I’m coming here yet again for some opinions. My husband is so tired of talking about names lol. I feel like every week or two I find a couple new suggestions and I’m really starting to pin down my exact style and I have a huge list, I’m just obsessed with names. Of that huge list, we have some agreed upon favorites:

[name_f]May[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f] (our daughter), [name_m]Paul[/name_m] [name_m]Warner[/name_m], [name_m]George[/name_m] [name_m]Hardy[/name_m], [name_f]Hope[/name_f] [name_f]Elaine[/name_f], [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_f]Hale[/name_f].

Some close contenders for first or middles: [name_m]Lee[/name_m], [name_m]Russell[/name_m], [name_f]Gardner[/name_f], [name_m]Wright[/name_m], [name_m]Gilbert[/name_m], [name_m]Bennet[/name_m]

We have such a hard time with girls names. I LOVE the name [name_f]Belle[/name_f] but my husband is not on board at all. I would love to stay on the less popular side and love old fashioned lived in names like [name_f]Belle[/name_f], [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f], [name_f]Lynn[/name_f], [name_f]Joan[/name_f], [name_f]Susanna[/name_f], [name_f]Annie[/name_f], [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]. [name_m]The[/name_m] list goes on. My husband likes more sweet, familiar and feminine names like [name_f]Holly[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], [name_f]Laura[/name_f], and [name_f]Audrey[/name_f]

I’ve suggested [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] a million times. I feel like it’s a great bridge for the gap but he just doesn’t love it. I think it’s slightly too unconventional. Anyway, that’s how we found [name_f]Hope[/name_f]. It’s sweet, feminine, lived in. It’s less old fashioned but because it’s been around so long and is so cute with [name_f]May[/name_f], I can overlook that.

Anyways, sorry for so many words. [name_f]Any[/name_f] ideas for girls first or middle would be great!

Some middle ideas but not set on any of them (mostly just family names) : [name_f]Beth[/name_f], [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Leanne[/name_f], [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Lucille[/name_f], [name_f]Joy[/name_f], [name_f]Abigail[/name_f], and [name_f]Ainsley[/name_f]

And if you want to throw in some boy suggestions, I would love that too. We’re also not married to our current list so if you have any switch ups or favorites, please share!

Your daughter’s name is beautiful, and I really love [name_f]May[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f] and [name_f]Hope[/name_f] [name_f]Elaine[/name_f] together! Some ideas of other names that might bridge the gap between your styles, more old-fashioned twists on some of his favorites:

A bit like [name_f]Audrey[/name_f]: [name_f]Ruby[/name_f], [name_f]Maude[/name_f], [name_f]Ada[/name_f], [name_f]Adele[/name_f], [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f], [name_f]Adeline[/name_f]

A bit like [name_f]Laura[/name_f]: [name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_f]Flora[/name_f], [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_f]Lenora[/name_f], [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f]

A bit like [name_f]Holly[/name_f]: [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], [name_f]Polly[/name_f], [name_f]Heidi[/name_f], [name_f]Rosie[/name_f]

A bit like [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]: [name_f]Elise[/name_f], [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f], [name_f]Elinor[/name_f], [name_f]Mabel[/name_f], [name_f]Evie[/name_f]

A bit like [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]: [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], [name_f]Viola[/name_f], [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f], [name_f]Celia[/name_f], [name_f]Bianca[/name_f]

It seems like you have a bit more agreement on your boy names, and I especially like [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_f]Hale[/name_f], [name_m]Bennet[/name_m], [name_m]Gilbert[/name_m], and [name_m]Wright[/name_m] from your list.

(By the way, I notice you seem to find most agreement with names where a one-syllable first is paired with a two-syllable middle, or vice versa, and your husband in particular seems to favour a lot of two-syllable girls’ names. Maybe he would respond well to some suggestions along those lines? I know my husband cared a lot about syllable patterns – especially that our daughters’ multisyllabic first names were paired with one-syllable middles.)

Anyway, a few names to throw out there for your boys’ list:

[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]

[name_m]Bernard[/name_m]

[name_m]Bertram[/name_m]

[name_m]Cedric[/name_m]

[name_m]Charles[/name_m]

[name_f]Jasmine[/name_f]
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]

[LoloTen]

Okay, thinking further, [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] is probably a bit close to [name_f]May[/name_f] for comfort! Let me add [name_f]Millie[/name_f] and [name_m]Tillie[/name_m] as more vintage options close to [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] / [name_f]Ottoline[/name_f] as possible subs for [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] (and [name_m]Tillie[/name_m] could be a cute nickname option!), and [name_f]Posie[/name_f] / [name_f]Posey[/name_f] / [name_f]Posy[/name_f] as another option with [name_f]Holly[/name_f] vibes

[Greyblue]

[name_f]Annabel[/name_f] came to mind – gives you [name_f]Belle[/name_f] and [name_f]Annie[/name_f]? [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] [name_f]Joy[/name_f] would be nice

As I’ve said previously I love M@y Louis3 such a gorgeous name.

Looking at your other options for girls I think [name_f]Hope[/name_f] [name_f]Elaine[/name_f] is ever so charming. [name_f]Hope[/name_f] is beautiful such a lovely wholesome choice that feels endearing and cosy. I really like [name_f]Elaine[/name_f] as the middle name she adds to the cottagecore flair. I really think [name_f]Hope[/name_f] [name_f]Elaine[/name_f] would be beautiful with M@y Louis3. I have to say I love so many of your favourites especially [name_f]Belle[/name_f], [name_f]Edith[/name_f], [name_f]Joy[/name_f], [name_f]Susanna[/name_f], [name_f]Annie[/name_f] & [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]. From your husband list I think [name_f]Laura[/name_f] & [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] meet the vibe for sure similarly I think [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] is a good middle ground between your options it’s a shame the name has been vetoed.

Sisters:
[name_f]Olive[/name_f], [name_f]Heidi[/name_f], [name_f]Tess[/name_f], [name_f]Ruby[/name_f], [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_f]Verity[/name_f], [name_f]Opal[/name_f], [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f], [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Willa[/name_f], [name_f]Faye[/name_f], [name_f]Sadie[/name_f], [name_f]Imogen[/name_f], [name_f]Iris[/name_f], [name_f]Annabel[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Penny[/name_f], [name_f]Sarah[/name_f], [name_m]Fern[/name_m], [name_f]Abigail[/name_f],
[name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], [name_f]Eloise[/name_f], [name_f]Ruth[/name_f], [name_f]Lydia[/name_f], [name_f]Claire[/name_f] + [name_f]Vivian[/name_f].

From your boys I absolutely love [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_f]Hale[/name_f] I think he’s just so classic, stately and well rounded. I think M@y sounds gorgeous with [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] such a sweet sibling set. Personally I’m not overly into [name_m]George[/name_m] or [name_m]Paul[/name_m] however I do see the appeal they are classic well rounded names but [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] is lovely.

Brothers:
[name_m]Samuel[/name_m], [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], [name_m]Nathanael[/name_m], [name_m]Isaac[/name_m], [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m], [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_m]Joseph[/name_m], [name_m]Daniel[/name_m], [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] ‘Kit’,
[name_m]Daniel[/name_m], [name_m]Frederick[/name_m], [name_m]Dean[/name_m], [name_m]Callum[/name_m], [name_m]Harvey[/name_m], [name_m]Alexander[/name_m], [name_m]Jack[/name_m], [name_m]Evan[/name_m], [name_m]Adam[/name_m], [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] + [name_m]Elijah[/name_m]
