I’m not pregnant, but my husband and I would like to start TTC soon. Here’s my girl name list. I’d like to hear opinions. Which is your favorite or what do you think would sound better? Our last name sounds like mantis.
[name]Remy[/name] [name]Clare[/name]
[name]Luna[/name] [name]Mae[/name]
[name]Sibyl[/name] [name]Anna[/name]
[name]Vesper[/name] [name]Rose[/name]
[name]Garland[/name] [name]Grace[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Ellen[/name]
[name]Remy[/name] [name]Clare[/name] – [name]Remy[/name] has always seemed like a boys name to me, and I don’t like this spelling of [name]Clare[/name], but overall the name sounds fine.
[name]Luna[/name] [name]Mae[/name] – i like [name]Luna[/name] but [name]Mae[/name] seems a little short here with [name]Luna[/name] already being so short. [name]Luna[/name] [name]Mae[/name] sounds very southern charm though. I think I would suggest [name]Luna[/name] [name]Maeve[/name].
[name]Sibyl[/name] [name]Anna[/name] – I have the same issue here as I do with [name]Luna[/name]. [name]Sibyl[/name] and [name]Anna[/name] are both gorgeous, but [name]Anna[/name] seems a little short with already short [name]Sibyl[/name]. I would suggest [name]Sibyl[/name] [name]Annaliese[/name].
[name]Vesper[/name] [name]Rose[/name] – This is just lovely!
[name]Garland[/name] [name]Grace[/name] – I don’t like this one at all sorry. It’s the alliteration and [name]Garland[/name]. [name]Garland[/name] doesn’t seem like a good name choice to me.
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Ellen[/name] – I guess I just have an issue with the 2-1 or 1-2 rhythm because this sounds a little short to me too. [name]Ellen[/name] [name]Iris[/name] might sound better but I think I would suggest [name]Iris[/name] [name]Elena[/name].
You have a lot of wonderful names on your list and my issue with your rhythm and making suggestions is simply personal preference.
Because your last name is only 2 syllable, having a 2-1-2 or 1-2-2 is a little choppy imo.
my favorite is Vesper Rose (which is the only one I think work with the choppy rhythm, mostly because the sound of Vesper seems stretched out)
[name]Iris[/name] & [name]Sibyl[/name] are awesome! [name]Iris[/name] “Mantis” really doesn’t sound good, though, so [name]Sibyl[/name] [name]Anna[/name] gets my vote. I think it’s a great name!
[name]Luna[/name] is all right, but I don’t really care for the other options, sorry.
@dantea I’ve also considered…
[name]Remy[/name] [name]Coraline[/name]
[name]Sibyl[/name] [name]Annabelle[/name]
[name]Luna[/name] [name]Magdalen[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Emilia[/name]
[name]Vesper[/name] [name]Rosemary[/name]
[name]Garland[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]
My husband tends to lean towards shorter names though and I don’t mind as long as I get to use the FN I want. lol
I absoulutely [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Luna[/name] [name]Mae[/name], but also really like [name]Remy[/name] [name]Clare[/name]. I actually love all of your names, except [name]Garland[/name] [name]Grace[/name]. Not crazy about that one, sorry. Seems a bit heavy, and the two names just dont go together in my head.
@lucialucentum [name]Iris[/name] “mantis” bothered me at first too, but my grandmother had a huge iris garden that she adored and she hated her name so it would be a cool way to honor her. I think the pros out weigh the con. I love the meaning of [name]Sibyl[/name] and I love astrology so [name]Luna[/name] is right down my alley as well. [name]Remy[/name] was once considered a NN for Remedy and I’m obsessed with natural remedies. Plus my father inlaw never got the daughter he wanted and his name is [name]Randy[/name] [name]Clyde[/name]. [name]Remy[/name] [name]Clare[/name] is a little nod to him. [name]Vesper[/name] I just love and [name]Garland[/name] is a name that has been passed down in my family, but hasn’t been used in a couple of generations. Any other thoughts now that y’all know some back story?
Thanks haylis! [name]Garland[/name] [name]Grace[/name] is probably my least favorite as well.
[name]Remy[/name] [name]Clare[/name] - [name]Remy[/name] is way to masculine for me and I don’t like the spelling of [name]Clare[/name]
[name]Luna[/name] [name]Mae[/name] - [name]Luna[/name] is NMS, reminds me too much of looney… And it does not flow well with [name]Mae[/name] at all IMP
[name]Sibyl[/name] [name]Anna[/name] - I am not a fan of [name]Sibyl[/name], I do like [name]Anna[/name] though. I think [name]Anna[/name] [name]Sibyl[/name] would sound SO much better 
[name]Vesper[/name] [name]Rose[/name] - This has nice flow but the only Vespers I have heard of are boys, so that might be something you want to consider before you use this…
[name]Garland[/name] [name]Grace[/name] - I know a [name]Garland[/name] and he is a man. You really seem to like masculine names on girls!
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Ellen[/name] - [name]Both[/name] names, separate are lovely but the flow is off with them together. I think [name]Iris[/name] [name]Clare[/name]/[name]Claire[/name] would sound better.
Best wishes!
[name]Remy[/name] [name]Clare[/name]- I prefer the [name]Claire[/name] spelling, and I have always thought [name]Remy[/name] was a nickname, but I don’t know for what. Maybe [name]Rosemary[/name]? [name]Remy[/name] is also a French masculine name. I like [name]Remy[/name] as a nickname though, but this is very short.
[name]Luna[/name] [name]Mae[/name]- I like [name]Luna[/name], alot! I think [name]Luna[/name] [name]Magdalen[/name] is gorgeous!
[name]Sibyl[/name] [name]Anna[/name]- I have never been a huge [name]Sibyl[/name] fan.
[name]Vesper[/name] [name]Rose[/name]- I like this! [name]Vesper[/name] is actually very nice.
[name]Garland[/name] [name]Grace[/name]- I just really don’t like [name]Garland[/name].
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Ellen[/name]- [name]Iris[/name] is nice! [name]Iris[/name] [name]Emilia[/name] is really nice.
My favorites are [name]Luna[/name] [name]Magdalen[/name] and [name]Iris[/name] [name]Emilia[/name].
I know 2 boys named [name]Remy[/name] so it seems pretty masculine to me. [name]How[/name] about [name]Romy[/name] or [name]Romilly[/name] nn [name]Romy[/name]? [name]Romy[/name] [name]Claire[/name] or [name]Romilly[/name] [name]Claire[/name] would beautiful.
[name]Luna[/name] is my favourite first name on your list, it is a very pretty name. The middle name [name]Mae[/name] is so bland so unless it has meaning to you, I don’t particularly like it. I slightly prefer [name]Luna[/name] [name]Rose[/name]! [name]Luna[/name] [name]Maeve[/name], [name]Luna[/name] [name]Rosemary[/name], [name]Luna[/name] [name]Vivienne[/name]?
I love [name]Iris[/name] but not with the middle name [name]Ellen[/name]. [name]Iris[/name] [name]Claire[/name] or [name]Iris[/name] [name]Annabel[/name] maybe?
I don’t like the oher names, sorry. [name]Garland[/name] seems last namey and masculine.
[name]Remy[/name] [name]Clare[/name] - [name]Love[/name] [name]Claire[/name] (this spelling) but not a fan of [name]Remy[/name] on girls, its like hearing [name]George[/name] or [name]Gus[/name] to me because I know too many male [name]Remi[/name]/Remys
[name]Luna[/name] [name]Mae[/name] - sounds like [name]Lula[/name] [name]Mae[/name] to me from Breakfast at Tiffanys but I like it, theres a quaint southern charm to it!
[name]Sibyl[/name] [name]Anna[/name] - I have a bad association with [name]Sibyl[/name] so its nms but its probably a lovely name to many people
[name]Vesper[/name] [name]Rose[/name] - gorgeous! love this so much and I usually find rose combos to be boring.
[name]Garland[/name] [name]Grace[/name] - dont care for garland as a name and I find grace to be too filler/boring
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Ellen[/name] - really like the iris part but iris ellen sounds like a medical term to me for some weird unknown reason.
Overall I think you have some great choices, [name]Vesper[/name] [name]Rose[/name] especially!
