More Name Ideas, Please!

General Name Discussion
1

I posted several months ago when we first talked about trying for number 3. Now that I’m actually pregnant (not to the 12 week mark for a couple of weeks, I hope I’m not tempting fate :frowning: , I’d like to get some names to add to my list, especially since my husband hates pretty much all of them.

My daughters’ names are [name]Gretchen[/name] [name]Sofia[/name] and [name]Cordelia[/name] [name]Violet[/name].

Boys: [name]Rhett[/name], [name]Benedict[/name], [name]Augustus[/name], [name]Patrick[/name], [name]Jack[/name], [name]Henry[/name], [name]Pierce[/name], [name]Alistair[/name], [name]Oscar[/name], [name]Luca[/name], [name]Frederick[/name], [name]Donovan[/name]

Girls: [name]Daphne[/name], [name]Delphine[/name], [name]Delilah[/name], [name]Blair[/name], [name]Vivienne[/name], [name]Penelope[/name], [name]Juliet[/name], [name]Isla[/name], [name]Winter[/name], [name]Meredith[/name], [name]Elise[/name]

I’d actually like a girlier name, but nothing ending in the -ia like [name]Cordelia[/name]. I love [name]Aurelia[/name], but I think it feels rhym-y with [name]Cordelia[/name].

Any ideas?

You have nice vintage taste. Maybe these will spark or inspire something:

Girls: Avonlea, [name]Adrienne[/name], [name]Amelie[/name], [name]Lucy[/name], [name]Zara[/name], [name]Audra[/name], [name]Ivy[/name], [name]Isis[/name], [name]Jillian[/name], [name]Genevieve[/name], [name]Gemma[/name], [name]Scarlett[/name], [name]Josephine[/name]
Boys: [name]Sterling[/name], [name]Sylvan[/name], [name]Jones[/name], [name]Harvey[/name], [name]Winston[/name], [name]Quentin[/name], [name]Sebastian[/name], [name]Robin[/name], [name]Willis[/name], [name]Nelson[/name], [name]Mack[/name], [name]Fergus[/name], [name]Julius[/name]

Love Gretchen & Cordelia! Of your boys’ list, I think Augustus is my favourite with Gretchen and Cordelia. For a girl, Juliet, Penelope, Daphne & Vivienne would be perfect choices. I agree that Aurelia is too close to Cordelia. Aurelie is a possible alternative…or Aurelien for a boy. I think your daughters’ names need to be matched with another equally quirky, fresh choice. Having said that, I’d personally cross Patrick, Luca, Elise, Meredith, Henry (although it breaks my heart) and Pierce off the list.
Here are some other suggestions for a brother or sister for Gretchen & Cordelia:

• Adelaide
• Alice
• Amabel
• Annabel
• Anouk
• Astrid

Your daughters have beautiful names, so classic. [name]One[/name] of my daughters is [name]Matilda[/name] [name]Marie[/name], we call her [name]Mamie[/name]. You seem to prefer vintage-sounding names so I thought I’d throw her classic name into the mix!
I think [name]Vivienne[/name] is a beautiful name, also [name]Delilah[/name]. You have great options.
Another suggestion of mine would be [name]Geneva[/name], it’s very classic, or I’ve always been partial to [name]Darby[/name].
For boys I think you have gold with [name]Henry[/name]! Although my judgment might be clouded because that is my sons name.
Good luck!

Thanks :slight_smile:

I went ahead and added:

[name]Graham[/name], [name]Nicholas[/name], [name]Lucy[/name], [name]Jillian[/name], [name]Scarlett[/name], [name]Genevieve[/name], [name]Adelaide[/name], [name]Annabelle[/name], [name]Barnaby[/name], [name]Conrad[/name], [name]Miles[/name], [name]Penelope[/name], [name]Beatrix[/name], [name]Evan[/name], [name]Viviana[/name], [name]Matilda[/name] , [name]Louisa[/name], [name]Georgiana[/name], [name]Francine[/name], [name]Lachlan[/name], [name]Maxwell[/name], and [name]Edward[/name].

I’ll fuss around with these and probably drive you all crazy after finding out the gender (not until february!)

I appreciate this so much. Sometimes people just bring up names I had forgotten about or not considered heavily. Thanks!
