Looking for opinions on naming our 4th child. Older siblings:
[name_f]Lyla[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_m]Reuben[/name_m] [name_m]Alistair[/name_m]
[name_m]Asher[/name_m] [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m]
Last name [name_m]Burrows[/name_m]
Or combinations of the first three names, like
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f]
[name_f]Luna[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f], etc.
thoughts?
We have slightly different tastes–the names I like are [name_f]Luna[/name_f] & [name_f]Imogen[/name_f], but [name_f]Luna[/name_f] is too close to [name_f]Lyla[/name_f], so…[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]? Or I’d go with something like [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Sophronia[/name_f] or [name_f]Junia[/name_f] [name_u]Alix[/name_u]. Best wishes!
[name_f]Luna[/name_f] and [name_f]Lyla[/name_f] share a beginning and an ending and I don’t like the [name_f]Lu[/name_f]-Bu sound of [name_f]Luna[/name_f] [name_m]Burrows[/name_m]. [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_m]Burrows[/name_m] has two hard b’s so it’s not ideal. [name_f]Alice[/name_f] and [name_m]Asher[/name_m] share an initial but [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_m]Burrows[/name_m] sounds quite classy and distinguished (she would fit in with the Downtown [name_u]Abbey[/name_u] crowd :)). My favourite combo is [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f] followed by [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f].
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] is my favorite with the siblings, with the last name and in general. [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f] is nice but how about [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] or [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f]?
They are all gorgeous! I don’t like [name_f]Luna[/name_f] with [name_f]Lyla[/name_f] but [name_f]Alice[/name_f] and Phorbe are terrific. [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f] is stunning and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] is great too.
[name_f]Luna[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]! Adorable! Perfect amount of sweet, mixed with just enough maturity that it will age well. I think you have a winner : )
I agree that [name_f]Luna[/name_f] is too close to [name_f]Lyla[/name_f]. I love both [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] and [name_f]Alice[/name_f], but think [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] goes slightly better with your other kids’ names. So, [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]? I also like [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f].
Firstly I’d like to just say that I love all three names!
However [name_f]Luna[/name_f] is just far too close to [name_f]Lyla[/name_f]. Having [name_f]Luna[/name_f] and [name_f]Lyla[/name_f] in same sibling set is just too much and far too similar. Thus I really do feel you need to ditch [name_f]Luna[/name_f] from the list, as I really don’t you can have sister’s called [name_f]Lyla[/name_f] and [name_f]Luna[/name_f] without it being incredibly cheesy. For me I’m not keen on having two names with the same first initial while other children have different initials. I dislike sibling sets like [name_f]Viola[/name_f], [name_u]Vivian[/name_u], and [name_f]Belle[/name_f] even though the names are beautiful (well in my eyes) [name_f]Belle[/name_f] feels outcast from [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] and [name_f]Viola[/name_f] in the sibling set, it’s not as obvious in the sibling sets that contain four siblings but I’m still not keen. So this leads me with [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]. [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] is lovely has gorgeous Greek mythology associations and sounds wholesome. [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] works with [name_f]Lyla[/name_f], [name_m]Reuben[/name_m], and [name_m]Asher[/name_m], the flow is gorgeous.
My favourite [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] combinations are…
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Imogen[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
The combinations above are really lovely, [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] has a great flow and feels very upper crust [name_u]Brit[/name_u] whereas [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] has a very mythical feel, it’s sweet and majestic. My favourite is [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] I just love the whole magnetism of this combination.
My favourite from your suggestions is [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] but [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] doesn’t go well with your last name. [name_f]Luna[/name_f] is too close to [name_f]Lyla[/name_f] so the only left is [name_f]Alice[/name_f] and I must say that [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_m]Burrows[/name_m] sounds amazing even though I’m not a big fan of [name_f]Alice[/name_f]. So I’d go with [name_f]Alice[/name_f].
I must be the only person that thinks [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_m]Burrows[/name_m] sounds great. The repeating b sounds really work for me.
Anyway, I concur that as much as I love the name [name_f]Luna[/name_f] (a lot), you’ve gotta cross it off the list, at least as a first name. I like [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f], but it’s quite moon-heavy in its associations - up to you whether that’s a good or bad thing for you.
Hehe… I have a [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f]!!! Such a spunky name. We love it.([name_f]Freya[/name_f] was a strong contender for interest sake).
I agree with the other posters in thinking that [name_f]Luna[/name_f] and [name_f]Lyla[/name_f] are just a little too close! I think that [name_f]Pheobe[/name_f] or [name_f]Alice[/name_f] would be absolutely wonderful! [name_f]Pheobe[/name_f] [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f] is perfect and so is [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f] or [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Luna[/name_f]!
