Name suggestions, please!

General Name Discussion
1

I’m not pregnant nor do I plan on becoming pregnant for a while, but my boyfriend and I have started talking about names (mostly do to my obsession). But it hasn’t been going so well, and it’s a good thing we’ve started early! He tends to go for more modern, trendy names and I prefer classic, frilly, girly, and european names. We live in the US, and he thinks it would be weird if I named my daughter a very foreign name. It’s easier for us to decide on a boys name. We both like [name]Caleb[/name] [name]Isaac[/name], but I’m open to other suggestions. I’m still really loving [name]Bartholomew[/name]. :\

His favorites (girls names):
[name]Winslet[/name] (The only one I like, but I’m not sure it flows with the last name she’d have)
[name]Cooper[/name] (Hate this!)
[name]Reese[/name]
[name]Adalyn[/name]
Klowi (Yeah, that’s supposed to be [name]Chloe[/name])
[name]Aubree[/name]
[name]Rylie[/name]/[name]Ryleigh[/name]
Emberleigh
[name]Kyla[/name]
[name]Wylie[/name]

My favorites (girls names):
[name]Rowena[/name]
[name]Lieselotte[/name] (A german combination name of [name]Charlotte[/name] and [name]Liesel[/name]/[name]Liesl[/name]. I first heard this name when I was living in Germany and I’ve always loved it.)
[name]Allegra[/name]
[name]Lilibeth[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]/[name]Violette[/name]/[name]Violetta[/name]
[name]Ramona[/name]
[name]Camilla[/name]/[name]Camille[/name]
[name]Arlette[/name]
Clémence/ClemencyClementine
[name]Eleanora[/name]
[name]Alice[/name]

Help us out! Last name Zellar.

I like some names from both of your lists! First of all, I think [name]Winslet[/name] Zellar sounds really nice, and if that’s the only name you both agree on, I think it totally works. Also, it looks like some of the names from your list could have nicknames that would be his style: [name]Allie[/name] for [name]Allegra[/name] or [name]Alice[/name], [name]Ellie[/name], [name]Cami[/name], [name]Ara[/name], etc. Other names you both–or one of you–may like:

[name]Liza[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name]
[name]Alisa[/name]
[name]Nora[/name]
[name]Milena[/name], nickname [name]Mila[/name]
[name]Elspeth[/name], nickname [name]Eppie[/name]

I really love [name]Kyla[/name] from your boyfriend’s list, but I listen to [name]Kyla[/name] La [name]Grange[/name] a lot…
From your list I like [name]Violetta[/name], [name]Allegra[/name], [name]Clemency[/name], [name]Alice[/name] and [name]Liselotte[/name]. I also love [name]Liesel[/name] and [name]Lison[/name].

So based on those:
Winnet (less [name]Kate[/name] related)
[name]Vienna[/name]
[name]Melissa[/name]
[name]Laurel[/name]
[name]Alessi[/name]
[name]Romilly[/name]
[name]Cassia[/name]
[name]Elina[/name]
[name]Morgan[/name]
[name]Selma[/name]

oh dear! Never in my life have I seen such different lists. Usually there is SOME common ground. I’m just going to say it… his list is atrocious. Yours is wonderful.

Would he be happy if you could offer him a NN to grow on him? Like [name]Nora[/name], [name]Milla[/name], [name]Lily[/name], [name]Clio[/name] ([name]Eleanora[/name], [name]Camilla[/name], [name]Lilibeth[/name], [name]Clementine[/name]/[name]Clemency[/name])

The only one I can come up with that might satisfy both your tastes is [name]Adelaide[/name].

Good luck… I think you’ll need it. :slight_smile:
