We have a strong, compound last name (Lakehook), and we need soft names…we have a daughter named [name]Ainsley[/name]. We already have a boy name chosen (family name, [name]James[/name], but we will call him Ames.)
DH likes what I refer to as “80s names”, [name]Brandy[/name], [name]Jessie[/name], [name]Josie[/name], [name]Courtney[/name], etc…I like artsy interesting names.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
So, you only need girl suggestions?

If you are going to call a boy Ames (this reminds me of the [name]Eames[/name] Chair - ha!), why not name him Ames and give him a middle name that honors [name]James[/name]? [name]James[/name] means “supplanter,” as do [name]Hamish[/name], [name]Jacoby[/name], [name]Jacob[/name], and [name]Seamus[/name]. Ames [name]Jacoby[/name] or [name]Jacoby[/name] Ames is my favorite. [name]Just[/name] a thought…

I think this has a mix of modern interesting names for you and flashbacks to previous years for him. Also, they all fit with [name]Ainsley[/name] nicely. Good luck!
I like ricamaca’s suggestion of [name]Jessamy[/name] - innovative way to get [name]Jessie[/name] nickname and [name]Jessamy[/name] goes very well with big sister [name]Ainsley[/name]. Also like:
