Milo wants a Brother/Sister!

General Name Discussion
1

Hello everyone! We currently have a son named [name]Milo[/name] [name]James[/name] who goes by both [name]Milo[/name] and MJ pretty interchangeably, and we are planning on another little one in the near future. We are just beginning the name search and have completely thrown out any names that we had been considering for MJ, so we’re starting off fresh! Girls seem to be IMPOSSIBLE for us. [name]Zach[/name] has skimmed through a few books and nothing is feeling even remotely right. We know it may be a little crazy to be getting started this early, but we struggled a lot with [name]Milo[/name]'s name seven years ago and we really want to find one we love earlier this time around.

We’d love ANY suggestions that might go with [name]Milo[/name] (for both boys and girls) and then hopefully we can maybe narrow it down after a few initial suggestions. Sorry for being so vague/open about style, but we really aren’t sure what we’re looking for right now. Honestly any suggestion would help. Thank you!

[name]David[/name] and [name]Zach[/name]

Thank you for the great suggestions. We both looked over them together and have chosen some that can hopefully outline our collective style a bit more! (We don’t want to narrow down yet, just pick names that have a pleasant initial reaction)

Clearly we need more help with the girls. None of the names we picked out really feel right, but they’re something we might consider…we’d HUGELY appreciate some more girl suggestions, thank you so much for all the suggestions so far, we are just very picky sorry!

Hmmm, as for if nicknames need a full name, that’s your choice. Personally, I would give a full name and then a nickname. You give your child more options that way – perhaps if they don’t like their nickname, but also a full name sounds more professional. It’s an subconscious thing. When you see a [name]Frederick[/name] apply for a job interview versus a [name]Freddie[/name], who do you think you’d say was more serious and adequate for the job…? Some people may disagree with me, but I feel that a full name opens more doors, and I don’t see why a parent would close them if it’s something so easy.

Okay, so more for girls!

[name]Adele[/name]
[name]Alice[/name]
[name]Amanda[/name]
[name]Amelia[/name]
[name]Annika[/name]
[name]Arabella[/name]
[name]Aria[/name]
[name]Autumn[/name]
[name]Beatrice[/name] ([name]Bea[/name]?)
[name]Camille[/name]
[name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Catherine[/name]/[name]Katherine[/name] ([name]Kate[/name]?)
[name]Delilah[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name] ([name]Nora[/name]? [name]Ella[/name]?)
[name]Eloise[/name]
[name]Frances[/name]
[name]Harper[/name]
[name]Hazel[/name]
[name]Helena[/name]
[name]Iris[/name]
[name]Isadora[/name]
[name]Isla[/name]
[name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Jessamine[/name]
[name]Johannah[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name] ([name]Josie[/name]?)
[name]June[/name]
[name]Katia[/name]
[name]Laurel[/name]
[name]Madeleine[/name]
[name]Mirabel[/name]

Sorry for taking such a long time to respond! Sometimes life just calls :slight_smile:

But during this time, we read all of your great suggestions and considered each one, and while our girls list is small, we did find some gems that we feel comfortable with!

So far we’ve got:
[name]Poppy[/name]
[name]Willa[/name]
[name]Olive[/name]
[name]Tess[/name]/a
[name]Esme[/name]
[name]Genevieve[/name] ([name]Vivi[/name])
[name]Fiona[/name]
[name]Ever[/name]

and then there’s [name]Madeline[/name]. [name]Madeline[/name] was both of our favorite book as kids, and we still have a lot of the book memorized. BUT [name]Madeline[/name]/[name]Madeleine[/name]/[name]Madelyn[/name] are so hugely popular and trendy right now, so we’re shying away because of that (and the same initial as [name]Milo[/name]). So this might be reserved for the middle spot, or we’d still consider it, especially if we could come up with a creative nickname besides [name]Maddy[/name]. Any ideas?

Thanks again!
[name]David[/name] and [name]Zach[/name]
