I don’t want to be happy with my four-boy sibset 
Catcher, [name_m]Bucky[/name_m], [name_m]Roger[/name_m], and Pascoe? [name_u]Pascoe[/name_u] doesn’t fit.
Catcher, [name_m]Bucky[/name_m], [name_m]Roger[/name_m], and Clyde? Two C names.
Catcher, [name_m]Fisher[/name_m], Seeker, and Roger? [name_m]Roger[/name_m] doesn’t vibe.
[name_m]Bucky[/name_m], [name_m]Roger[/name_m], [name_m]Clint[/name_m], and Seeker? Too Marvel-esque.
I love [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] “Ally” but my mother’s nn is [name_u]Allie[/name_u] and I feel iffy about honoring her sometimes
I have 2-3 boy top FNs (I can make 1 of the FN a MN and be fine with it) and 3 girl top FNs. How am I supposed to choose if I don’t have as many kids as I have names? How does anyone choose which names to go with first, second and third for each gender?
I have 2 ways to go with my names:
I can’t seem to get my girl names down to 2 top names. I’m also not sure about repeated initials and my next 3 boy names are [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], [name_m]Tancred[/name_m] & [name_u]Asa[/name_u] (not in that order). I’m getting frustrated at being unable to decide on 2 top girl names without having reservations about not going for all 3 girl names.
What do I do?
I read someone describe [name_f]Artemisia[/name_f] as a pointless elaboration of [name_u]Artemis[/name_u] and it ticked me off. [name_f]Artemisia[/name_f] isn’t an elaboration of [name_u]Artemis[/name_u] - it’s a separate name meaning “belonging to Artemis”. The Ancient Greeks didn’t give their children the names of their gods - that would be like a modern person calling their child “God”.
that would be artemesia. artemisia and artemesia are different names.
[name_f]Do[/name_f] you have a source for that? I’ve never come across [name_f]Artemesia[/name_f] before. [name_f]My[/name_f] source for the meaning of [name_f]Artemisia[/name_f] is Llewellyn’s Complete Book of Names by K.M. Sheard.
silly me
why on earth do I put [name_u]Poet[/name_u] in a poll for a new combo when I know I already have a combo with it 
but then [name_u]Poet[/name_u] sounds so nice with [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] … 
That annoys me too, even though personally I prefer Artemis over Artemisia. (I think Artemesia and Artemisia look like spelling variations of each other? I’ve read that Artemisia is the feminine form of Artemisios.)
Ah, I got a copy too just before Christmas last year and I love it so much. (It gave me a new guilty pleasure - Alchemilla. 
)
I love that book so much! It’s definitely my favourite name book. 
I know brothers named [name_m]Isaiah[/name_m] and [name_m]Elijah[/name_m]! I don’t think they’re necessarily too close in sound.
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] > [name_f]Felicia[/name_f]
[name_f]Fauna[/name_f] > [name_f]Flora[/name_f]
[name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] > [name_f]Sara[/name_f]
[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_m]Will[/name_m] and [name_u]Liam[/name_u] but I don’t like [name_m]William[/name_m]
Why not
I know sisters Alya and Arya
Also Eda and Seda
They do fine so yours wouldn’t be a problem 
I’m reading a story right now featuring a baby named [name_u]Oliver[/name_u]. I’m loving it in the story, but when I try to picture on my own potential kids, all I can think is 
dog name .
[name_m]Just[/name_m] found out I’ve been mispronouncing [name_u]Briar[/name_u] my whole life NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
How were you pronouncing it?
Bree-are
yes! same!!
I hate it when I find a name I like but then I see it’s to similar to the other name I love. So I have to forget it I do this ALL the time!
