I am currently Mom to [name_u]Kai[/name_u] [name_u]Maurice[/name_u], [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f], and [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and we are ttc another baby. Here is my own list (not dh approved) for girls:
Can you give some honest opinions on these names, how they “go” with my other kids names, and maybe rate them for me based on your own preference. Thank you!
I can’t choose between [name_f]Esther[/name_f] [name_f]Meadow[/name_f] and [name_u]Robin[/name_u] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f]! Though your children all have quite traditional middles, maybe [name_f]Esther[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] or [name_f]Esther[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f]? If you don’t mind mixing them up a bit my favourites would be [name_f]Esther[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] and [name_u]Robin[/name_u] [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f].
After that it would be:
[name_u]Wren[/name_u] [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f]
[name_f]Leonora[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Amity[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f]
[name_u]Robin[/name_u] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] - love [name_f]Isobel[/name_f], but I find [name_u]Robin[/name_u] to be dated. I think [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] and [name_f]Iris[/name_f] are so much prettier than [name_u]Robin[/name_u].
[name_f]Leonora[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] ([name_f]Leni[/name_f]) - I like this. My only concern would be that [name_f]Leni[/name_f] sounds a bit similar to the end of [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], like it could almost be a nn for her instead.
[name_f]Esther[/name_f] [name_f]Meadow[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Esther[/name_f]. don’t love [name_f]Meadow[/name_f], but combo is ok. I think [name_f]Esther[/name_f] would fit in well with [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] and [name_f]Iris[/name_f], altho I generally prefer unique initials.
[name_u]Wren[/name_u] [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] - this is pretty but I don’t think [name_u]Wren[/name_u] fits in that well with sisters.
[name_f]Amity[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] - this has a cute and spunky flow. I love [name_f]Eloise[/name_f], not sure I love [name_f]Amity[/name_f], but the meaning is very nice. [name_f]Verity[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] would be cute too. Or maybe [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f]?
My favorite is [name_u]Wren[/name_u] [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f]. I think [name_u]Kai[/name_u], [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], [name_f]Iris[/name_f], and [name_u]Wren[/name_u] go very well together.
I like [name_u]Wren[/name_u] or [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] best with your other names. I’m biased, though, because I love [name_f]Leonora[/name_f]/[name_f]Eleanora[/name_f]!
My choice would be [name_u]Kai[/name_u], [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], [name_f]Iris[/name_f] and [name_f]Amity[/name_f] together.
[name_m]Just[/name_m] like your other children’s names, [name_f]Amity[/name_f] is old with a deep history but is fairly modern sounding and would fit in perfectly in any classroom.
[name_f]Leonora[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] would be my second choice. It is gorgeous, and [name_f]Leni[/name_f] sounds perfect with your other children. But to me it’s very vintage-princess which sounds a bit out of place with [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] and [name_u]Kai[/name_u] especially, are much more hip and in trend.
[name_u]Robin[/name_u] and [name_u]Wren[/name_u] have a similar feel to [name_f]Amity[/name_f], but I personally wouldn’t use another word name after [name_f]Iris[/name_f]. Lastly I find [name_f]Esther[/name_f] too biblical with your other children’s names and I would avoid repeating the letter E.
But to be honest I’m just picking tiny faults; they’re all lovely and work perfectly well. You can’t go wrong!
[name_f]Amity[/name_f] is my favourite by far! I don’t like [name_u]Robin[/name_u]… I don’t know how a name that sounds like robbin’ even got so popular! “Oh no, someone’s [name_u]Robin[/name_u] the liquor store…”
I do like [name_u]Wren[/name_u] quite a lot, so that’s my second choice.
My favorites are [name_u]Robin[/name_u] or [name_u]Wren[/name_u]. I don’t like [name_f]Amity[/name_f]. I have bad associations with [name_f]Amity[/name_f].
[name_f]Esther[/name_f] I sometimes like, but if you were listing your kids the s- sounds in [name_f]Iris[/name_f] and [name_f]Esther[/name_f]. [name_u]Kai[/name_u], [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], [name_f]Iris[/name_f], [name_f]Esther[/name_f]. I don’t know. I just think the s-sounds sort of run together.
[name_f]Leonora[/name_f] could work. It’s not my style, but I like the nickname.
For a boy [name_m]Leon[/name_m] would be a good choice.
My favourite, and the name that I think goes best with your other children, is [name_f]Esther[/name_f]. The names of your other children are quite dainty and classic so I feel [name_f]Esther[/name_f] goes the best; if having their names ‘match’ is important to you. However I am not a fan of [name_f]Meadow[/name_f], as a first or middle name. I really love [name_f]Esther[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] though!
My two favorites are [name_u]Wren[/name_u] [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] and [name_f]Amity[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f]. I think they go best with your kids names.
[name_u]Robin[/name_u] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] - Nice flow, but [name_u]Robin[/name_u] is dated.
[name_f]Leonora[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] ([name_f]Leni[/name_f]) - Nice, but [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] stands out a bit from the others.
[name_f]Esther[/name_f] [name_f]Meadow[/name_f] - This is a lovely combo that goes perfectly with your children!
[name_u]Wren[/name_u] [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] - [name_u]Wren[/name_u] and [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] rhyme a little too much.
[name_f]Amity[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] - [name_f]Amity[/name_f] reminds me of Amityville and horror movies.
