My old college roommate is expecting her second child, a boy, and just announced it on Facebook. My roommate’s name is Vanessa G. and her husband is Jeremy G. Their daughter is Lily Jordan G. (Jordan is Vanessa’s maiden name.) The last name has too syllables, is German and begins with the hard “G” sound. The family is white. I don’t think they expect to have any more children after this one.
I suggested the following names:
Alec
Corbin
Elliott
Finn
Gavin
Grady
Reid
Sebastian
Silas
Victor
Wyatt
Zane
What do you think? Any other ideas? I thought my ideas went pretty well with Lily, sounded good with the surname, and struck a good balance between common and unusual. And “Reid” has the botanical theme thing too.
