I’m back with some follow up questions! I had posted about my name list being totally different from my husband’s and asked for some suggestions that might please us both. I like shorter, simpler names, and he likes longer, more popular/throwback to our generation-type names.
Mine are: [name]Tessa[/name], [name]Eliza[/name], [name]Greta[/name], [name]Lucy[/name], [name]Clara[/name]
His are: [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Amelia[/name], [name]Genevieve[/name], [name]Valerie[/name], [name]Veronica[/name], [name]Vanessa[/name], [name]Alexandra[/name], [name]Eloise[/name], [name]Jessica[/name], [name]Elizabeth[/name], [name]Emily[/name], [name]Juliet[/name]
At this point I’m hoping maybe we can agree on [name]Elizabeth[/name] nn [name]Eliza[/name], or [name]Tessa[/name] will grow on him because of his love of [name]Vanessa[/name] and their similarity. I do kind of like his suggestions of [name]Juliet[/name] and maybe [name]Genevieve[/name] (see question below).
Some questions about some of your recommendations:
[name]Annika[/name]: [name]How[/name] do you say this? Rhymes with Hannukah or [name]Danica[/name]?
[name]Elisabeth[/name]: with this spelling, is the pronunciation basically the same as [name]Elizabeth[/name]?
[name]Marina[/name]: what do you think of this name? I liked it a while back but took it off my list due to the association with boat docking - I thought people would find it odd for a name.
[name]Matilda[/name]: what do you think of this name? I don’t like [name]Mattie[/name] or [name]Tilda[/name] for a nn. Is [name]Tillie[/name] a good choice? Any others?
[name]Molly[/name]: I like this name but worry about its popularity and cutesy-ness. What do you think?
[name]Emilia[/name]: Is this basically pronounced the same as [name]Amelia[/name]? Any nn options?
[name]Quinn[/name]: Is this too unisex to use? Also, with the last name K***ler, do you think it sounds strange and too repetitive with the hard “k” sounds?
[name]Genevieve[/name]: What would you use for a nn? I don’t like the idea of [name]Genny[/name]/[name]Jenny[/name] or [name]Evie[/name]. Maybe [name]Genna[/name]?
Thanks again so much - you’ve all been a big help!
