Name Hunt (Girls Edition/Number I've Lost Track)

Thank you for the comments, @felicitysmoak and @hkesi

[name_f]Una[/name_f]/[name_f]Unna[/name_f] - I like the Irish (?) [name_f]Oona[/name_f] a lot, but am not a huge fan of either of these spellings, unfortunately. [name_f]Una[/name_f] reminds me of the word for “one” in Spanish and Italian, and I want to say UN-nah rather than OO-nah for [name_f]Unna[/name_f] (is it Scandinavian? I feel like I read that when I was stalking your threads…). It’s not my favorite name ever, but certainly unique and a cool name. I’m not sure I can see [name_f]Una[/name_f] fitting in with your other kiddos.
[name_f]Astoria[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Astoria[/name_f] a lot (although I’d probably use [name_f]Aster[/name_f] or [name_u]Story[/name_u] as a nn, personally [ETA: [name_f]RORA[/name_f]! I love that someone suggested this, because I thought of [name_u]Rory[/name_u], but I don’t really like [name_u]Rory[/name_u] for a girl anymore. [name_u]Love[/name_u] the totally unexpected [name_f]Rora[/name_f], though, and I think [name_f]Astoria[/name_f] nn [name_f]Rora[/name_f] would be pretty cool. [name_f]Rora[/name_f] could be a little weather-inspired, too, because of the roaring of the wind and the waves? A stretch, sure, but I still like it. lol]. But I think I read somewhere why you like [name_f]Stormy[/name_f] for her?).
Gweneira - This throws me off every time I see it, because I’m expecting [name_f]Gwyneira[/name_f]. I like it okay, but I’m not sure I’m a huge fan of the -eira ending.
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f] - I like it a lot for you, actually, and I think it fits brilliantly with Ev.e and Dulc!nea. I can totally see her as your third girl. But can I just say pooo on [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] getting vetoed? Has he no appreciation for [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Austen[/name_u]?! :slight_smile: [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] would have been utter perfection with your kiddos in general, and with Ev!e and Da!sy in particular. I know you have Casp!an for C.S. [name_m]Lewis[/name_m], and Zeph@n for the Bible, but a name from classic literature would have been a fun new association in addition to geeky literature, Bible-literature, and [name_m]Christian[/name_m] literature. :slight_smile: boo.
[name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f] - [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f] is likewise perfect! I love it as a name, and it fits so well with your girls (and your children in general!). I think [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] and [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f] sound really great with your surname, too. [name_f]Windy[/name_f] is cute, especially with your search for weather-inspired names, but I love the equally adorable [name_f]Gwen[/name_f], [name_f]Winnie[/name_f], and [name_f]Leni[/name_f], too.
Iselda - The more I see Iselda, the more it grows on me. I like [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] a lot, though, and, while unexpected, I definitely see it fitting in with your other five. Plus, I think the tie to [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] [name_m]Fitzgerald[/name_m] is sort of cool?
[name_f]Constance[/name_f] - not my cup of tea, but still a nice name. I like it better as a MN for you, though.

[name_m]How[/name_m] is Veslemay said? VESS-leh-may? It seems pretty straightforward to me, unless I’m missing something? I can see why it might be off, though. Nivika is cute, but a bit TOO spunky and unusual for me, so I’m glad to see it may be moved to the MN spot. I am not very good at putting combos together, for you, I think, but I think [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] [name_f]Constance[/name_f] [something] or [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f] Nivika [something] would be really nice! And I also love [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] [name_f]Constance[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. Iselda [name_f]Constance[/name_f] seems a bit too frumpy old-lady to me (although I’m not sure why?), but [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] [name_f]Constance[/name_f] is brilliant! I surprisingly also like Iselda Veslemay?

Good luck!

Iselda, [name_f]Astoria[/name_f], and [name_f]Una[/name_f] are my favorites!!! They’re beautiful! And I’m not big on nicknames but I really like [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] and [name_f]Stormy[/name_f]!

I also really like Gweneira

Well, from you choices I like [name_f]Una[/name_f] and [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f]!

[name_f]Una[/name_f]/[name_f]Unna[/name_f] - I like this a lot! It’s simple and easy to say with a pretty sound to it (though I have a history of liking the “oo” sound)
[name_f]Astoria[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Stormy[/name_f]??) - This my be my favorite! Such a gorgeous name and although I don’t think [name_f]Stormy[/name_f] is super intuitive, I also see where it is coming from. I do like [name_u]Story[/name_u] a lot too, but I hope this works for you and you get your little [name_f]Stormy[/name_f]! I think [name_f]Evie[/name_f], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] and [name_f]Stormy[/name_f] sound like adventurous, outdoorsy, fun sisters!
Gweneira - Interesting! The sounds are very pretty. It’s not my favorite for you, but still a good name.
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f] - I actually think [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] sounds great with [name_f]Evie[/name_f] and [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]! I don’t think it’s too mainstream. It gives the sister-set a different vibe for me, not that it matters. Very sweet!
[name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Windy[/name_f]?) - I like [name_f]Windy[/name_f] for this and think it totally works! It is definitely princessy but I think it’s nicely underused (though I don’t know its stats)
Iselda nn [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] - Still a fan of this one! It is probably my second favorite after [name_f]Astoria[/name_f] and then I like [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f] nn [name_f]Windy[/name_f].
[name_f]Constance[/name_f] - Still think it is a perfect middle name for your choices when paired with [name_f]Rose[/name_f]!

Really curious to see whether [name_f]Astoria[/name_f] sticks.

[name_f]Astoria[/name_f] and Iselda are my favorites!! [name_f]Stormy[/name_f] for a nickname is darling, I never thought of that one before, I always had [name_u]Story[/name_u] as the nickname for it. Iselda is fun and spunky and [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] is great! I don’t like nivika and I’ve never heard of veslemay so I don’t know how to pronounce it and it reminds me of a big vessel… Like a ship, so it’s not very pretty to me. I love [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] but it might be too bland compared to your other kids. Not a huge [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] fan… Kind of blah to me. [name_f]Una[/name_f] is fine but not as great as [name_f]Astoria[/name_f] or Iselda. And gweneira …interesting and just okay to me.

[name_f]Astoria[/name_f] is definitely my favorite! I think [name_f]Stormy[/name_f] is a cute nickname. It’s not the most intuitive, but it works and it’s sweet, especially if you’ve been using it already.
I also like [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f]. I’ve never loved [name_f]Constance[/name_f], but if I did use it I would use the nickname Stazi.

I’ve been putting off answering this thread because I don’t really know where to begin, and I sort of think you’re at the stage where the two of you have to decide together, without help from us berries with our own agendas… :wink:

I’ll add my two cents anyway though…

First, I think I read at some point that you would pick [name_f]Constance[/name_f] if not for all the negative comments?
I like [name_f]Constance[/name_f], I think [name_u]Connie[/name_u] is superavoidable and I think the replies you are getting are just because you’re ahead of trends. I believe [name_f]Constance[/name_f] will come back in favour, especially if you get creative with nicknames. [name_f]Tansy[/name_f] is my favourite, but is a bit much with [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]. I could easily see [name_f]Coco[/name_f], [name_f]Nessa[/name_f], [name_f]Cat[/name_f], Caisa/[name_f]Kaisa[/name_f] (Nordic diminutive of [name_f]Katherine[/name_f]), [name_f]Tess[/name_f]/[name_f]Tessa[/name_f], [name_u]Sasha[/name_u]?, Cosi, and I actually don’t mind [name_u]Connie[/name_u] myself. Another thing I like about [name_f]Constance[/name_f] is that it has history of use in Norway, despite being an English word. It’s very vintage here also, but I could see her come back to some extent in the wake of [name_f]Agnes[/name_f]. Konstanse is the preferred spelling though :stuck_out_tongue: My sister says she would easily use it for a little girl one day, if she didn’t I would definitely consider it myself.
I also like how it’s the least stormy of all your names, because if there’s one thing a baby that feels like a natural disaster needs it’s something, anything, steady, and [name_f]Constance[/name_f] is steady in abundance.
[name_f]Constance[/name_f] Nivika [name_f]Rose[/name_f] would be all kinds of wonderful.
As would [name_f]Constance[/name_f] Nivika [name_f]Unna[/name_f] or [name_f]Constance[/name_f] [name_f]Unna[/name_f] Nivika (unless you have a T surname?)

My personal favourites are Iselda and [name_f]Unna[/name_f]/[name_f]Una[/name_f].
I like Iselda so much I’m thinking about swapping her with [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] on my list. [name_f]Isolde[/name_f] is nice, but I always struggle with pronunciation and tend to overlook her when looking for combos and such. Iselda is lighter and more likeable, and I love the connection to my own name (and at least 4 of my closest relatives) with the -hild bit. (I’m assuming Ishild >> Iselda, also one possible origin for [name_f]Isolde[/name_f]?). Ishild is nice, but it’s one letter away from my own name… (I know of a little baby named Isrid as well, the final -d is silent, EES-ree, ees- like easy, -ree like river)
[name_f]Unna[/name_f] is so lovely and I adore her meaning, but sadly she’s also a word tyically used to express you want someone/thing to get out of the way. ("[name_f]Unna[/name_f] vei!" roughly translates to “Get out of the way!”) It’s not so much used in the area I live, but I can’t get past it. [name_f]Una[/name_f] feels a little more watered out, I think of her as a variant of [name_f]Oona[/name_f] rather than [name_f]Unna[/name_f].

For combos I’d suggest [name_f]Unna[/name_f] [name_f]Constance[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] or [name_f]Unna[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] Nivika.
With Iselda I’d use Iselda [name_f]Rose[/name_f] Nivika or Iselda Nivika [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. Or just Iselda [name_f]Constance[/name_f]. Where does the [name_f]Rose[/name_f] come from by the way? I’m assuming there’s some special significance?

I’m also sure you’ve considered it, but I wanted to mention Idunn/[name_f]Idony[/name_f]. Since I can’t use [name_f]Unna[/name_f], Idunn has quickly become a favourite of mine, she’s gorgeous!
I also think [name_f]Signe[/name_f]/[name_f]Signy[/name_f] or [name_u]Dagny[/name_u] would be great for you. And [name_f]Freya[/name_f]/Freyja or even [name_f]Frida[/name_f]. [name_f]Frida[/name_f] is more fun than people give her credit for…
Hild or [name_f]Hilda[/name_f] has also been on my mind lately. I’ve recently met a lovely little three-year old called [name_f]Hilda[/name_f] (she loves the Gruffalo books) and I’ve really warmed to it. Hild fits with the austere vibe I think you were after(?), I love her medieval style.
And [name_f]Thora[/name_f]/[name_u]Tora[/name_u]!! I know you prefer [name_m]Tor[/name_m] for a boy, but I think I’d be hard pressed myself to not just use it for the baby that’s letting you know beforehand that’s it’s going to get stormy. I’d probably be tempted to go all out and just name her [name_f]Thora[/name_f] [name_f]Tempest[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] or [name_f]Thora[/name_f] Nivika [name_f]Tempest[/name_f]. Or [name_f]Thora[/name_f] [name_f]Constance[/name_f] [name_f]Unna[/name_f]/[name_f]Rose[/name_f].

For the rest of the names, Gweneira is more interesting and less clunky than [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f]. I slightly prefer [name_f]Gwendoline[/name_f] to the latter, but I’m not really fond of any of the [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] names. [name_m]Just[/name_m] [name_f]Eira[/name_f] would be awesome, but I’m guessing you don’t want to repeat initials?
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f] is way too mundane for me, and I’ve never been fond of the G/J sound, this one has two. She fits with [name_f]Evie[/name_f] and [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], but makes [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]'s full name feel very much like the odd one out.
[name_f]Astoria[/name_f] is nice, but she sort of ticks too many of the right boxes and becomes perfect: good nicknames (any name where you could use [name_u]Story[/name_u] as a nickname is fab, everyone would think so!), obscure but recognisable, similar to popular names but still very unusual, all her sounds are on trend and universally seen as pleasant. She’s the frilliest of the bunch [name_f]IMO[/name_f], [name_f]Stormy[/name_f] doesn’t really make up for it.
I’m glad you cut Veslemay, I’ll not say more.
Nivika is lovely, but I think she’s better as an unexpected middle. I think most people would assume she was made up as a first name, in the middle they would more easily believe she’s a strange honour name or something and be curious rather than judgemental.

I know you’re probably not looking for suggestions at all, but I can’t help mentioning these:
Eanswith / Eanswythe
Roswitha
[name_f]Lovisa[/name_f]
Audrun / Solrun / Solhild
Alvilde / Alvilda
[name_f]Clemency[/name_f] (love the “inclement weather” connection :P)
[name_f]Doveva[/name_f]
[name_f]Ferelith[/name_f]
Lórien
[name_f]Valeska[/name_f]
Rixende
Defiance (as a middle name)
[name_f]Saga[/name_f]
[name_f]Tempe[/name_f]
[name_u]Valo[/name_u]
Vivendel / Verdandi (middles as well!)

(Also, have you considered [name_u]Constantine[/name_u] as an alternative to [name_f]Constance[/name_f]? It was used in the book and film ‘The Help’ and I think it would go over a little better with the [name_f]Constance[/name_f] haters, if it matters)
I basically just wrote every thought I’ve had about this, feel free to disregard most of it if you like… ^^
And best of luck!

@ash - Thanks for stopping in, always nice to chat. I hadn’t really thought of “uno” until you and @trina14 mentioned it so thanks (to both) for pointing it out. I was finding “unna’ as a Norwegian word meaning “to love,” although further searching on NordicNames.de seems to indicate that the one-N spelling traces to the same word root, which looks like “Unr.” Anyway, the OO spelling seems to be from the Irish and Latin etymology, which is okay too, but the meaning and origin are different. Yes, I call her [name_f]Stormy[/name_f] now, and I finally managed to dig up [name_f]Astoria[/name_f] by searching for names containing “stor.” But hey [name_f]Rora[/name_f] was my idea so I’ll take the compliment, heehee. Could be that “roaring” may be quite appropriate for this kid. I know, I know, boo hoo about [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f]. He likes P&P well enough, but the complicated-frilly names he’ll consider are pretty few and far between, and this one just didn’t seem to have any appeal at all. He says [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] is growing on him though. You’re saying Veslemay correctly, but obviously that one is the name that psychs people out, lol.

@lunarpixie, @chloe14 - thanks for your votes and comments. Really interesting to see how the options are received.

@myera4 - Yes, I think [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] makes the girl-group seem very English-Garden, while some of the other options give the group a different kind of feel, whether Princessy or Adventure-Maiden or what have you. Appreciate your reviews on everything, thanks!

@truenature, Haha, us too. Seems promising since it has so many elements of other names that were nice-but-not-quite. I remembered [name_f]Zenobia[/name_f] this morning. Hubby commented that [name_f]Astoria[/name_f] is kind of sci-fi/galaxy like [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f]. I was like, well we could bring back [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f], that’s fine with me too… :smiley:

@micke156, thanks for your comments. I really didn’t know how any of these ideas might go over in ANY demographic, so it’s fun to see at least what name fans think — and NICU nurses, you see tons of baby names.

@squidly - Stanzi has been suggested but I hadn’t thought of Stazi. Also looks like I have some mixed reviews about [name_f]Stormy[/name_f] but overall people think it gets by. I thought people would think it was a super weird nn to begin with, but I was really surprised when I looked in the SSA list and saw that over 200 girls are named [name_f]Stormy[/name_f]/[name_f]Stormie[/name_f]/Stormi every year. Whoa, that’s way more than most of my other kids’ names!

@dearest, Thanks for taking the time to reply. I hadn’t thought of [name_f]Nessa[/name_f] as a nn for [name_f]Constance[/name_f], [name_f]Nessa[/name_f] has been on and off the list for ages. We’ll probably have a [name_f]Constance[/name_f]-combo “on hand” since we have liked it for such a long time, for “just in case." I’ve tried to talk myself into “I’m ahead of the trends” but if that’s so, I think in this case I’m pretty far ahead; the numbers are not good since [name_f]Constance[/name_f] was in highest use in the 1950’s and finally dropped off the U.S. Top Thousand in the early 1990’s, and seems to be on a continuing downward trend. It’s not so much that I care “what people think” but people say stupid things to kids, and I don’t see the point in setting up my child with a name that’s so out of style that people just snarl, there are more important things to deal with. [name_u]Constantine[/name_u] is absolutely out because we are Muppets fans, and the villain in the latest film was named [name_u]Constantine[/name_u]. We do have a T surname so that’s tricky with some of the initials and the T names. [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is a [name_m]Doctor[/name_m] Who nod to please the big brothers, who have been very cute in campaigning to use it as a first name. [name_u]Dagny[/name_u] is one of my husband’s favorites but we pretty much ruled that one out when we used [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], and my sister has called [name_f]Freya[/name_f]. I think we’re pretty much past new suggestions but thanks for the list just the same. I did consider [name_f]Lovisa[/name_f] and [name_f]Ferelith[/name_f] earlier in the year.

I love the idea of [name_f]Rose[/name_f] because of [name_m]Doctor[/name_m] Who, even as a first name. ^^
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] Nivika [name_f]Constance[/name_f] would be wonderful, but basically any combo from this selection would be fabulous, so I can’t see how you’re going to narrow it down at all…
I should have remembered [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] when mentioning [name_u]Dagny[/name_u] :confused:
You might be one of the few berries asking for help that has convinced me that they’ve examined all possibilities. With a name pool of everything, you’ve come a long way… I think if I were in your shoes I would now just wait till she’s born and find the one that she looks like.
However, in Norway we’re allowed a lot of time to decide after the baby is born, I know in the US the decision has to be made almost immediately…

Best of luck still :slight_smile:

LOL – You probably would have been convinced that I’d looked at everything weeks ago if I had actually posted all the different “rabbit holes” I fell down this summer, the books read, databases read, and searches done. Pretty crazy. It’s helpful now to get feedback on this list, I’m still pretty happy with it and my husband seems content with the options too. My sister had a baby last month and went with the “see what she looks like” thing. She was in agony for three days deciding on a name and then cried for at least a week, because she and her husband had different ideas of what the baby “looked like.” Yikes. Took all the romance out of that idea, for sure. I hope we can at least settle on a front-runner.

In other news, I’ve dropped [name_f]Unna[/name_f]/[name_f]Una[/name_f] – it DOES look like “Uno” and in between all the Spanish-speakers in my family and all the geek board-gamers we have, it seems a little bit silly. I’ve re-nominated [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f] instead, not that we needed more options, but it has been on my brain, so I put it back for consideration.

I think [name_f]Astoria[/name_f] goes best with your sibset. I don’t care for the nn [name_f]Stormy[/name_f], but love [name_u]Story[/name_u]! :slight_smile:

Yikes - your sister! That would be me, too, for sure, crying away and disagreeing with the hubby! I’ve always been a bit wary of that ‘we’ll know when we see him/her’ plan. When I had my first daughter (3rd baby) she was born with a full head of black hair! (My husband is blond-white and I am a redhead). Anyway, it was so shocking to us that my husband said, “if I hadn’t seen her come out I would not believe she was ours!” She truly looked like a little Eskimo baby - which was adorable but not at ALL what I expected. I can’t imagine what sort of name I would have picked out had I been suddenly basing it on what she looked like. Now she is 15 and blonde as can be, so I’m glad I just stuck with the name I liked all along, irregardless of how she did/did not match up to my preconceived ideas. And then after her I had twin girls and just trying to figure out which baby would get which name - there was no real tangible way to know which tiny little baby ‘fit’ which name better. So - my two cents is go with what you love and let the baby morph into the name. And fwiw I’m voting for you to choose one of your G or A choices because then you avoid the Zephan/[name_f]Zelda[/name_f] sound match-up and can still keep [name_f]Constance[/name_f] for the middle. ([name_m]Just[/name_m] trying to figure out how you might narrow your lovely little pool!).

@pumpkin - Fair enough. Thanks for the input!

@mousehouse - Yeah, I’d definitely never thought about what happens when the parents don’t magically agree on the name AFTER the baby comes, any more than they could agree beforehand. It’s a romantic theory to “name what the baby looks like,” but on the other hand, a mommy-friend of mine said, “most babies look like Yoda,” and there’s definitely some truth that too, lol. I think my husband is still mulling over the ideas. Last week I said my front runners were (that day) [name_f]Astoria[/name_f], [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f] and Gweneira and he said, “I guess we’re going with [name_f]Astoria[/name_f],” but then last night he made a comment that we might have to go with plain [name_f]Stormy[/name_f], so I’m not sure he’s convinced about anything yet. I’m trying out some combos, we’ll see. I’m going to make sticky notes for the mirror in the master bathroom so we can rearrange our favorites every day. :slight_smile: I’ll make a set for his sink and a set for my sink. Should be fun.

[name_u]Love[/name_u] your combos! I’m drawn to [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] for some reason - it seems so spunky yet classic and unexpected, too. Weird - because I’m not a huge fan of any of those names independently but as a combo it’s really gorgeous. And the initials [name_u]GAL[/name_u] - too cute! I still am rooting for an A or G choice, but they’re all lovely! And boy your hubby’s one tough nut! Such lovely combos and he’s not madly in love with even one of them??? eek!!!

He hasn’t seen the combos yet. :wink: My friend @auroradawn made the [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] combo, isn’t it wonderful!

I didn’t read all the way through but I will throw in my 2 cents…

I am a [name_f]Constance[/name_f] (I’m 42) but I go by [name_u]Connie[/name_u]. Most people who find out my full name giggle. But not in a really bad way. They just think it sounds so regal and that is not my personality at all. If it is someone that doesn’t know me and they meet me as [name_f]Constance[/name_f], I ALWAYS get a compliment on my name. I will say that the only teasing I got (in high school) was to be called Constipated. Eh - not a big deal. Everyone got made fun of somehow.

From your list:

[name_f]Astoria[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Stormy[/name_f]??) - Cool name - prefer [name_u]Story[/name_u] as the NN
Gweneira - Sounds like a disease. Sorry
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f] [this one is a counter-offer because [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] was utterly vetoed] - Super cute name
[name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Windy[/name_f]?) - I think this is a cool option but I prefer [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] over [name_f]Windy[/name_f]
Iselda nn [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] - Not a fan
[name_f]Constance[/name_f] - See above :slight_smile:
-> moved to middles list: Nivika - Seems so harsh
-> now off the list: Veslemay (originally Veslemøy)
-> eliminated: [name_f]Una[/name_f]/[name_f]Unna[/name_f]
re-nominated: [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f] - I am not a fan of this name at all!

I can’t figure out how to make that image show up as an image instead of just a link… but it’s the Bathroom Mirror Post-It-Notes Name Game! My husband said, “Oh, I see how you get me to play… make it a game, huh?” He’s a mad gamer, so yeah. It’s just a pity that it took me until the end of pregnancy #6 to think of this.

The smaller notes have individual names and the larger notes have combos. There is a “discard pile” at the bottom of the mirror.

It’s “my move” next, since he liked 5 of the names but only 3 of the combos! It’s fun so far, and definitely better than haggling over an annoying list!

I know some of you are dying to know which ones he ranked and since you can’t really see in the photo, here they are:

Kind of surprised! The other day he commented that [name_f]Astoria[/name_f] was a better “theoretical name” than real-life use name, and [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] was tops last week, but here he likes [name_f]Astoria[/name_f] AND the combo. That’s promising :slight_smile:

What a CUTE idea, @saracita!! I love it and can’t wait to hear more about it!!
