Mcinkat Fourth and Final Is

A girl! We are so thrilled to have two boys and two girls to complete our family.

We have a few names in mind, but I’m curious what you’d suggest for our last baby, keeping in mind that I prefer to have different starting and ending sounds, names with history, and nickname options.

[name_m]Can[/name_m]‘t wait to hear what you come up with! Older sibs’ names are in the user card.

Thanks!

Congrats! Your children all have fantastic names! I’m not sure if I can come up with anything as good as what you can but here are a few you might like:

Adalet
[name_f]Theodosia[/name_f]
[name_f]Minerva[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosalind[/name_f]
[name_f]Ingrid[/name_f]
[name_u]Antonia[/name_u]
[name_f]Dorothea[/name_f]
[name_f]Odessa[/name_f]
[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_u]Marian[/name_u]
[name_f]Helene[/name_f]

I’ve been thinking about this for the past 6 hours.

Here are my options, some work best as middles only but you can also be the judge of how you want to uphold or buck the letter and syllable length counts. I love some more than others with your set but I like them all and they pull on different notes.

Viola
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f]
[name_f]Una[/name_f]
[name_f]Drusilla[/name_f]
[name_f]Galilea[/name_f], “[name_f]Goldie[/name_f]”
[name_f]Eglantine[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucasta[/name_f]
[name_f]Forsythia[/name_f]
[name_u]Calypso[/name_u]
[name_f]Demelza[/name_f]
[name_f]Thessaly[/name_f]
[name_f]Bernadette[/name_f]
[name_f]Arrietty[/name_f]
[name_f]Dido[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsinore[/name_f]

Congratulations on your second daughter!

I am drawing from Greek and Latin origins for these. I can think of a few nicknames for all of them, except [name_f]Leda[/name_f]… [name_f]Titania[/name_f], [name_f]Benedicta[/name_f], [name_f]Antheia[/name_f], [name_f]Cleopatra[/name_f], [name_f]Leda[/name_f], [name_f]Demetria[/name_f], [name_f]Tullia[/name_f], [name_f]Calista[/name_f], [name_f]Sophronia[/name_f], [name_f]Cyrilla[/name_f], [name_f]Delphina[/name_f], [name_f]Rhodia[/name_f] and [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f].

How about [name_f]Edith[/name_f], [name_f]Esther[/name_f] or [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]?

Thank you everyone!

@tallemaja I love [name_f]Isadora[/name_f], [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] (but middles are so hard with this one), [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f] (though I probably can’t get away with 2 prominent HP characters lol), [name_f]Marigold[/name_f], [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f], and more. You really hit the nail on the head!

@Posielee I’ve always had a huge crush on [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] ("[name_f]Gwen[/name_f]" or “[name_f]Vera[/name_f]”) and can’t believe it’s not more popular! Hubs doesn’t like it, though :frowning: [name_f]Emeraude[/name_f] is intriguing, and I love [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f], [name_f]Primrose[/name_f], and [name_f]Sybil[/name_f]!

@Loislyn [name_f]Minerva[/name_f]! But again with the 2 HP character thing (curse you, JKR, for your giant canon of fantastically named characters). I also wonder if [name_f]Minerva[/name_f] is too prominent a mythological character? [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] and [name_m]Evander[/name_m] both have names rooted in mythology, but their origins are much more obscure than the goddess of wisdom. Also love [name_f]Theodosia[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f], [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f], and [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]

@hyacinthbucket As always, your suggestions are at once unexpected and fitting. I agree some work best as middles (like [name_f]Ismay[/name_f], which I’ve loved since reading a book with a main character by the name), but there are so many lovely options. I never would’ve considered [name_f]Galilea[/name_f] “[name_f]Goldie[/name_f]”. [name_f]Goldie[/name_f] is one of my favorite nicknames, and I love [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] but am not crazy about how it sounds with our surname. I also love [name_f]Viola[/name_f], [name_f]Lucasta[/name_f], [name_u]Calypso[/name_u], [name_f]Bernadette[/name_f], and [name_f]Elsinore[/name_f]

@VivienaLunelle123 [name_u]Starling[/name_u] is intriguing and could make a fantastic middle! I prefer [name_u]Sterling[/name_u] on a boy, though. [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f] is one of my favorites for a middle–it has such heft! Also loving [name_f]Isis[/name_f] (if not for the terrorist group), [name_f]Soleil[/name_f], and [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f]

@kachenka [name_f]Cleopatra[/name_f] is a GP for me, just because there’s only one prominent bearer that I know of (I prefer to have a mix of associations attached to a name). [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Leda[/name_f], [name_f]Titania[/name_f], [name_f]Demetria[/name_f], [name_f]Calista[/name_f], and [name_f]Delphina[/name_f] (though I actually prefer the sleeker [name_f]Delphine[/name_f])

@_thelittlefairywren You’re so sweet! Magical is about the highest compliment I could get for baby names!

@Sarah1694 I’ve always had a soft spot for [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] :slight_smile:

@skylerros I like [name_u]Wren[/name_u], possibly as a middle…

@fearlessfirefly [name_f]Eulalia[/name_f] is actually the name of the main character in my WIP (and [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] was her name before I changed it)! I also love [name_f]Cassiopeia[/name_f], [name_f]Octavia[/name_f], [name_f]Olympia[/name_f], [name_f]Perpetua[/name_f] (but too close to [name_u]Peregrine[/name_u]), and [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f].

@anon25197097 We actually considered [name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] and [name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] when we were expecting [name_f]Hermione[/name_f]. Not sure they fit in our family anymore, but so lovely! [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f], [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f], and [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] are gorgeous!

Congratulations! I think it would be neat to use the initials A.P. since your first two are H.E. and E.H. and your son is P.A.

Avalon [name_f]Priscilla[/name_f] would be my suggestion - has history and mythology to fit with your other children’s names.

With your sibset, I actually am loving [name_f]Persephone[/name_f]. Gives great NN options and has the Greek roots of her siblings.

Other Greek names that come to mind for your sibset include: [name_f]Delphine[/name_f], [name_f]Daphne[/name_f], and [name_f]Penelope[/name_f].

Lavinia ([name_u]Vinny[/name_u]) and Laeticia / [name_f]Laticia[/name_f] ([name_f]Letty[/name_f]) are the other two names that pop up in my head when I see your other kids’ names.

Congratulations!!
