šŸ•Šļø love.endures baby #3

when i was pregnant, my husband was totally against some of my favorites at first too, but by the time we were finding out the sex, he had agreed to both my top boy names— hoping the same happens for you with paloma! :rofl:

so glad you enjoyed some of the suggestions. overjoyed that i get to give a little back to you as you’ve been so helpful in so many of my posts :white_heart:

[name_m]Oh[/name_m] my word, that’s so funny! Mine was similar in that he didn’t feel strongly about any of our names & it took him a while to love our son’s name after he was born. Now he’s like ā€S o l o m o n 's[name_f][/name_f] name is the only good boy’s name in the whole world. Nothing else compares.ā€ lol I think he’s just the type of person who has to associate it with our child before he loves it (at least with boys names anyway).

I have to put in a biased word for [name_m]Zebedee[/name_m] here :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:[name_f][/name_f] We love ours so much! [name_m]The[/name_m] only unexpected con we’ve encountered is that when we introduced him as an infant, sometimes people didn’t know whether he was girl or boy. He had lots of hair, haha, and [name_m]Zebedee[/name_m] is unfamiliar but sounds enough like some popular female or unisex names (Stephanie, [name_f]Melody[/name_f], [name_f]Cassidy[/name_f], etc—we had someone think we said Tiffany) that apparently it was confusing. It seems better now that he’s a toddler and more male-appearing.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Shiloh[/name_f] :heart:[name_f][/name_f] is the name we chose for our baby in [name_f]Heaven[/name_f]. 4th pregnancy ended in a miscarriage at 7 weeks. [name_m]Zebedee[/name_m] is our rainbow baby. [name_f]So[/name_f] it’s really sweet to me to see them together. [name_f]Shiloh[/name_f] is the rare name I really love for either sex.

[name_f][/name_f]

Of your girl names, I love [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] best! Though I do like them all, and I hope you get to use [name_f]Paloma[/name_f] if it’s your fave. [name_f]Plum[/name_f] is so cute. It was the ā€œbump nameā€ for one of my little sisters, and I’ve played around with it as a middle on my lists. We also have [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] on our list. I find it lovely and serene—maybe too serene for a real life daughter :joy:

[name_m]Oh[/name_m] thank you! [name_m]You[/name_m] paired up our names beautifully :yellow_heart:[name_f][/name_f] & I just had to add [name_f]Paloma[/name_f] [name_f]Shiloh[/name_f] to our list.

First off, I love all your kiddos’ names & was so excited when you chose [name_m]Zebedee[/name_m]! [name_m]The[/name_m] same thing happened with my daughter except that it was because I dressed her in neutral colors & she had a curly blond fro until she was about 3 lol. Honestly, once people get past the newness of a name, they generally seem to be kind about it (at least, that’s been my personal experience).

[name_f][/name_f]

I’m so sorry for your loss :white_heart:[name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Shiloh[/name_f] is such a beautiful name :dove:

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Marigold[/name_f] is our middle ground name (& [name_f]Fern[/name_f] is our wildcard), as we have different favorites :slight_smile:[name_f][/name_f] Ultimately, we’ll choose whatever feels right when we meet our little one. That’s why it’s so up in the air right now as to what we’ll go with. I would let him nickname [name_f]Paloma[/name_f] almost anything if I got to use her! He feels the same way about [name_f]Hadassah[/name_f] lol. [name_f]Plum[/name_f] is such a cute bump name!

[name_f][/name_f]

I honestly love all of your suggestions! [name_f]My[/name_f] favorites are probably [name_f]Ruby[/name_f], [name_f]Linnea[/name_f], [name_f]Zipporah[/name_f], [name_f]Eve[/name_f], [name_f]Loveday[/name_f], [name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m], [name_m]Nehemiah[/name_m], [name_m]Lazarus[/name_m], & [name_m]Malachi[/name_m]!

[name_m]Just[/name_m] popping in to say that [name]Paloma[/name_f] is probably my favorite for you! It has the same softness as your other two and I especially love the shared letter O’s throughout the sibset! And [name]Plum[/name_f] is such a darling nickname! I know the feeling of trying to sell my husband on a name, so I hope yours comes around!

[name_f][/name_f]

I second the suggestions [name]Lilac[/name_f], [name]Ruth[/name_f], [name]Shiloh[/name_f], and [name]Sarai[/name_f] as middles for [name]Paloma[/name_f]! [name]Lilac[/name_f] is on our middle list as well (as a nod to baby’s grandma who is obsessed with purple). I saw [name]Sonnet[/name_f] as a suggestion for you and think [name]Paloma[/name_f] [name]Sonnet[/name_f] would also be lovely. I don’t have a ton of new ideas, but I love your names and am so excited to see what you choose!

This thread reminded me of [name]Sonnet[/name_f] and it might get added to my possible middle names list. Of course it is the name of my father’s high school sweetheart but I don’t know if that makes it unusable or not… Regardless, so happy the Berries brought that name back into mind. I hope your combos grow on your husband!
