My list of potentials. Your thoughts?

General Name Discussion

I’ll preface this by saying I don’t expect to be expecting any time soon, but I’ve been compiling names since middle school. I’m feeling pretty good about my girl combos, the boys not so much.

Girls:
[name]Amelia[/name] [name]Margaret[/name]
[name]Gillian[/name] [name]Rosalie[/name]
[name]Sara[/name] [name]Jane[/name] [name]Lorelai[/name]
[name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Lux[/name]

Boys:
FN: [name]Patrick[/name], [name]Nathaniel[/name], [name]Phillip[/name], [name]Matthew[/name], [name]William[/name]
MN: [name]Avery[/name], [name]Lindsay[/name], [name]Morgan[/name], [name]Hugh[/name]

Opine away! :wink:

[name]Amelia[/name] [name]Margaret[/name] - like it, love [name]Margaret[/name]
[name]Gillian[/name] [name]Rosalie[/name] - I like [name]Gillian[/name] spelled like that, love [name]Rosalie[/name]
[name]Sara[/name] [name]Jane[/name] [name]Lorelai[/name] - [name]Lorelei[/name] is gorgeous
[name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Lux[/name] - lovely
I’d go [name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Lux[/name], because I like the combo. What do you think about [name]Rosalie[/name] [name]Margaret[/name]?

[name]Patrick[/name] [name]Lindsay[/name]
[name]Nathaniel[/name] [name]Hugh[/name] - would be my pick
[name]Phillip[/name] [name]Morgan[/name]
[name]Matthew[/name] [name]Lindsay[/name]
[name]William[/name] [name]Avery[/name] - my second pick

I think [name]Rosalie[/name] [name]Margaret[/name] is nice, but I prefer [name]Rosalie[/name] as a mn - I already have too many fn favorites, lol. And thanks for the boy match-ups. I’d also mulled over [name]Patrick[/name] [name]Lindsay[/name] and [name]Phillip[/name] [name]Morgan[/name], but more and more I’m liking [name]Nathaniel[/name].

[name]Alexis[/name],

Let me start by saying that I love [name]Amelia[/name] [name]Margaret[/name]! The perfect combination of girlish charm and vintage classic appeal! Great name for a lovely little lady to have…

[name]Sara[/name] [name]Jane[/name] [name]Lorelai[/name] is also quite nice, and [name]Amelia[/name] and [name]Sara[/name] pair nicely as sisters. [name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Lux[/name] is nice, but I don’t love the flow as much as the other two names. What about [name]Amelia[/name] [name]Margaret[/name], [name]Sara[/name] [name]Lorelai[/name], and [name]Eliza[/name] [name]Jane[/name]?

[name]Gillian[/name] [name]Rosalie[/name] is the only one who feels a tad out of place, as [name]Gillian[/name] really isn’t at all classic in my opinion. [name]Rosalie[/name] [name]Gillian[/name], or even better, [name]Rosemary[/name] [name]Lux[/name], would be darling with your sibling set!

Oh, boys! My favorites are [name]Nathaniel[/name], [name]Patrick[/name], [name]William[/name], and [name]Matthew[/name], in that order. [name]Philip[/name] is cute, but it sounds a tad bit stuffy to me. Your surname middle names (turned girlish names) pair nicely with the handsome, strong names you’ve selected for firsts. I’d recommend [name]Nathaniel[/name] [name]Morgan[/name], [name]Patrick[/name] [name]Avery[/name], [name]William[/name] [name]Hugh[/name], and [name]Matthew[/name] [name]Lindsay[/name], I think! Great bunch of names!

So, my favorites together are [name]Amelia[/name] [name]Margaret[/name], [name]Sara[/name] [name]Lorelai[/name], [name]Eliza[/name] [name]Jane[/name], [name]Nathaniel[/name] [name]Morgan[/name], [name]Patrick[/name] [name]Avery[/name], and [name]William[/name] [name]Hugh[/name]. Cool, classic, and current!

Take care!

Thanks for the suggestions, [name]Lemon[/name]. I know [name]Gillian[/name] seems out of place, but I fell in love with it 15 years ago, lol, plus I adore the nickname “[name]Gilly[/name]” (not the spelling so much, but I’m very close to my Aunt [name]Julie[/name] and I think it’s a neat way to honor her). The J is probably a less harsh version, but the G does it for me. As far as [name]Elizabeth[/name], I love it, and I love the nn [name]Lizzie[/name], but not so much a fan of [name]Eliza[/name]. Not sure why, it just doesn’t do anything for me. [name]Rosemary[/name]'s another [name]Eliza[/name], but I do like [name]Mary[/name] [name]Rose[/name]. Go figure.

I’m glad you like the boys. Feels like it’s much harder to find names I like for boys than girls, and it doesn’t help that so many are now gaining popularity for girls. :frowning:
