Big news! DH finally broke his silence about girl names that he actually likes. I sent him a list of my top favorites (which I also shared with my best friend) and his reply was so thrilling!
Here was my list:
Margot
Phoebe
Georgia
Sloane
Ruby
Greta
And, he replied that he liked Margot, Phoebe, and Ruby!
Ruby was our top contender for a while, but I sort of waned on her a bit as she rose in the ranks and as we’ve casually known a few people who have recently used it for either a dog or a baby. But, I feel like she shouldn’t be off the table.
Margot and Phoebe are newer loves of mine, but I feel like they fit our “vibe” and go well with our last name. My best friend thinks Margot is our clear front runner.
I’m curious what the Berries think! Vote on your favorite below. Surname is 3 syllables, starting and ending with “O” and is the name of a city. Bonus points if you’d like to suggest middle name combos as well! Also (many of you will know this), our top boy contender is Maxwell.
(P.S. we have not yet shared with anyone, but we are actively TTC now! this is getting real!).
Ooooh these are all so good! So so sweet! I personally like Phoebe best! She’s so airy, light but grounded, sweet, strong, and unique! Congratulations!!
[name_f]My[/name_f] personal favourite name of these is [name_f]Margot[/name_f], however, with an O surname and [name_u]Maxwell[/name_u] as a contender for a boy, I prefer [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] and [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] for you, which are both beautiful as well! Of these two, [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] is my favourite but not by much
I love all three of these names, and they’ve actually call made appearances on my own list. As others have mentioned, it sounds like [name_f]Margot[/name_f] may not flow best with your last name. Still, if you love it most, go for it!
I love sweet, sparky [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], but I voted for [name_f]Margot[/name_f] because of your top boy name. [name_u]Maxwell[/name_u] and [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] makes me think of the cartoon bunnies, [name_u]Max[/name_u] and [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]. [name_f]Margot[/name_f] is cool and stylish. I like it! [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] just isn’t to my taste for some reason. Good luck!
[name_f]Margot[/name_f] would have been my choice but with your surname I prefer [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]. They’re both lovely but I prefer the sweet, spunky [name_u]Ruby[/name_u].
Oh, I love [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] and [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] both so much. [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] was one of my top two- it’s the one that got away, as we went with our other choice for our daughter. I don’t really care for [name_f]Margot[/name_f]- to me, it’s not a pretty sound and reminds me of escargot. Also, I don’t mind matchy first and last names, but I find [name_f]Margo[/name_f] 0rl9nd0 (as I assume your last name to be) to be too much.
You can’t go wrong between [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] and [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] imo, but I vote for [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]!
