I have a friend who’s expecting her second (a little boy!), who LOVES Nameberry but doesn’t have an account. Since I do, I figured I’d post for her.
Her little girl is Ar@belle L0uise, and it sounds like the MN is most likely going to be either [name_m]William[/name_m] (after her grandfather) or [name_u]Tyler[/name_u] (after her husband). Her surname starts with a “V” and is 3 syllables, if that helps any.
So far her list is:
[name_m]Basil[/name_m]
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m]
[name_u]Cassio[/name_u]
[name_m]Castiel[/name_m]
[name_m]Fitz[/name_m] (she loves [name_m]Fitz[/name_m] [name_m]William[/name_m], but it’s not gotten much love from anyone else, it sounds)
[name_u]Flynn[/name_u]
[name_m]Prescott[/name_m]
[name_m]Wyatt[/name_m]
I know she’s mentioned [name_m]Roman[/name_m] and [name_m]Declan[/name_m] in the past, but I remember her saying that her hubby shot them both down. [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] [name_m]William[/name_m] was a forerunner for her entire pregnancy so far, but apparently now that they know it’s a boy, hubby’s developed opinions. [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_u]Tyler[/name_u]/[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_m]William[/name_m] is her favorite of the day.
(I’m working on my own list for her, but I figured we could get this thread going anyhow.)
Anyway, Berries. So what would you name [name_f]Belle[/name_f]'s little brother?
I really like [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_u]Tyler[/name_u] it [name_m]Castiel[/name_m] [name_m]William[/name_m].
Has she considered [name_m]Fitzwilliam[/name_m] instead of the two as separate names? She could even go with middle option [name_u]Tyler[/name_u] and still have is work nicely, and then the nn could be [name_m]Fitz[/name_m].
Other combos from her list that would be great are [name_m]Prescott[/name_m] [name_m]William[/name_m], [name_m]Basil[/name_m] [name_m]William[/name_m], or [name_m]Wyatt[/name_m] [name_u]Tyler[/name_u] (though this one is a bit matchy.)
With the “elle” ending of [name_f]Arabelle[/name_f] I think [name_m]Basil[/name_m] and [name_m]Castiel[/name_m] are a bit too matchy.
I think [name_f]Arabelle[/name_f] and [name_m]Wyatt[/name_m] has a nice sound, but not so much [name_m]Wyatt[/name_m] [name_m]William[/name_m].
[name_m]Prescott[/name_m] sounds a tad stuffy to me, makes me think of preppy ascot.
[name_m]Fitz[/name_m] seems like a difficult first name for a boy to grow up with.
[name_f]Arabelle[/name_f] and [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] is also nice. I think [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] sounds nicer than [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] [name_m]William[/name_m] though.
I really like [name_f]Arabelle[/name_f] and [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] together- [name_f]Belle[/name_f] and [name_m]Cas[/name_m]. Both [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_m]William[/name_m] and [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_u]Tyler[/name_u] are very handsome names! Plus with the princess-like name [name_f]Belle[/name_f] why not go for a princely name like [name_m]Caspian[/name_m]?
Okaaaaay, but who pooped in your coffee?! Obviously, nobody has the same taste, but exaggerated disdain is not cool? Most of these names are incredibly well-liked on here, so I’m not sure what your point is? If you had nothing constructive, positive, or helpful to say, why would you say anything at all?!
Thanks, lovely! My friend really loved your advice and the idea of a princely name like Caspian next to princessy Belle. She loves Caspian even more now (although it sounds like it’s still awaiting hubby’s approval, boo).
@wilkie8709 - she loved your long list! Just waiting for a free moment to be able to dissect it and decide how she feels about all the ideas.
I feel more sorry for you - it must be terribly boring to be so negative, childish and closed minded!
@[name_u]Ash[/name_u], I think [name_m]Prescott[/name_m], [name_u]Flynn[/name_u] and [name_m]Wyatt[/name_m] would be perfect with [name_f]Arabelle[/name_f]!!
She mentioned also really loving [name_m]Killian[/name_m], but she’s 100% convinced that her husband will never go for it. Maybe it’ll help for inspiration with another name, though?
@renee - I love [name_u]Elliot[/name_u], [name_m]Gideon[/name_m], and [name_m]Magnus[/name_m] with [name_f]Arabelle[/name_f]!
We’ve been a bit crazy at work lately, so I’m not sure if she’s had a chance to see this thread lately, but yesterday she was mentioning having liked [name_u]Royce[/name_u] and [name_m]Wiley[/name_m]. Apparently hubby is not a fan of [name_m]Wiley[/name_m] at all, but we thought [name_u]Royce[/name_u] was rather lovely, especially with her surname!
I’ll try to keep this thread updated as she gives me feedback.
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_u]Tyler[/name_u]/[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] [name_m]William[/name_m] is her favorite of the day.
She loves Caspian even more now (although it sounds like it’s still awaiting hubby’s approval, boo).
