My S/O and I are expecting our first little one in a few months. We’re having a really difficult time coming up with names we both like and that don’t sound terrible with our last name. We aren’t finding out the gender until birth which is making this even harder. Our last name is Cicchini and is pronounced CHA-keen-ee. Any help or suggestions would be wonderful. Thanks
Here’s a list of some names we like but don’t love.
Boys First Names
[name_u]Aden[/name_u]
[name_u]Dillon[/name_u]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]
Boys Middle Names (these are family names or sentimental to us)
[name_m]Troy[/name_m]
[name_m]Frederick[/name_m]
[name_m]Charles[/name_m]
I also love [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Snow[/name_f], [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f], and [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Joanna[/name_f]
Your style reads classic to me with many lovely choices although [name_u]Aden[/name_u] and [name_u]Dillon[/name_u] don’t seem to fit with the other names, if that is something that may help you think through what you like. My favourites on your list are [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], [name_f]Lilah[/name_f], [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], and [name_f]Iris[/name_f]. Suggestions…

You have some great names there! I love Sebastian, Oliver and Henry, although the latter two are a little too commonly used for my taste, and of your girls’ names I absolutely adore Matilda and Iris and have also always liked Adeline and especially Alice. Charlotte is also beautiful but again, too common in my opinion. I think Matilda Violet Cicchini sounds absolutely awesome, as does Sebastian Charles/Frederick Cicchini. Alice Violet Cicchini also works beautifully as a full name.
Here are some other options though if you’re not too sure about those:
Felix
Elio
Jasper
Bastian (This is one of my favourite names, it’s a good alternative to Sebastian if you want something a little more unusual)
Remy
Dashiell
Flynn
Rory
Gabriel
Raphael
Silas
Xavier
August
Theodore
Hudson
Caspar
Marlowe
Kai
Lennon
Dane
Oscar
Lucian
Quinn
Cyrus
Milo
Hugo
Caspian
Magnus
Amelie
Ivy
Luella
Bronte
June
Elowen
Dahlia
Tallulah
Eleanor
Della
Freya
Margaux
Elodie
Olive
Rue
Pearl
Harriet
India
Noa
Maeve
Zelda
Ophelia
Gia
Thea
Clementine
Willa
Xanthe
Zola
Florence
Celine
Frankie
Emmeline
Mirabel
We have similar taste, [name_m]Louis[/name_m] [name_m]Charles[/name_m], [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] and [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f] were all on our list for baby #1!
You have some really beautiful choices on your list, I really like [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] or [name_m]Henry[/name_m] with [name_m]Charles[/name_m] or [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] and [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] or [name_f]Alice[/name_f] with [name_f]Violet[/name_f] but I could come up with so many good combos from your list you really can’t go wrong.
