Name with an "unfortunate" history (and some others!)

General Name Discussion

Hello everyone :slight_smile:

I’m expecting my first baby in [name]July[/name] and currently don’t know whether it’s a boy or a girl. I have a boys name almost sorted but girls I’m finding hard. [name]One[/name] name I like a lot is [name]Zoe[/name], but when I was growing up I had a number of pets called [name]Zoe[/name] and each of them had to be given away for various reasons. It may sound ridiculous, but it’s made me nervous about considering it as if maybe it’s jinxed. Or maybe it didn’t work out on pets so that it could be a future daughter? I was hoping to get some feedback!

As for other names;

BOYS: [name]Zachary[/name] [name]Lyndon[/name] (after my late uncle, so [name]Lyndon[/name] is a solid for middle name)
I also like [name]Brennan[/name]
[name]Sullivan[/name] ([name]Sully[/name])
[name]Ben[/name]
[name]Milo[/name]
[name]James[/name]
[name]Ezra[/name] (although my best friends nephew is named this. She lives 3000 miles away though?)
Finn/Finley

GIRLS;
[name]Zoe[/name]
[name]Anya[/name]
[name]Isabella[/name]
[name]Adia[/name]
[name]Mia[/name]
[name]Cassia[/name]
[name]Emily[/name]

My surname sounds like ‘Stones’ (starts with an S too but ends with a Z) and I’d love if you could make some combinations and suggest some other names I may like! [name]New[/name] names are welcome :slight_smile: Thank you!

I really like the name [name]Zachary[/name] [name]Lyndon[/name]. I also like from your list [name]Ben[/name], [name]James[/name], and [name]Sullivan[/name] ([name]Sully[/name]).
For your girl names I really like [name]Zoe[/name], [name]Anya[/name], [name]Emily[/name] and [name]Mia[/name].
Have you considered using [name]Zoe[/name] as a middle name?

Thanks for the response!

I would be quite happy to use [name]Zoe[/name] as a middle name if I could find the right combination!

Is there anyone else who can give their opinion or help me out with some other name suggestions? :frowning: Please?

I have always loved [name]Sullivan[/name]… [name]Sullivan[/name] [name]Ezra[/name] Stones would be nice.

If you like [name]Zoe[/name], you could try these names, and use [name]Zoe[/name] as a nickname:
[name]Zola[/name] Stones
[name]Arizona[/name] Stones
[name]Zora[/name] Stones
[name]Zoa[/name] Stones
[name]Izora[/name] Stones
[name]Izola[/name] Stones

Here are some other suggestions:
[name]Cora[/name] Stones
[name]Mirabelle[/name]/ [name]Mirabella[/name] Stones
[name]Elowen[/name] Stones
[name]Xanthe[/name] Stones

My favourite out of your boys list is [name]Sullivan[/name], that’s our pick for our little boy due in [name]March[/name] :slight_smile: I also had [name]Milo[/name] on our short list, but it didn’t work with our last name

As for the girls, here are some possible ideas for you:

  • [name]Chloe[/name]
  • [name]Violet[/name]
  • [name]Scarlett[/name]
  • [name]Arabella[/name]
  • [name]Ruby[/name]
  • [name]Ella[/name]
  • [name]Isadora[/name]
  • [name]Emmeline[/name]
  • [name]Madeline[/name]
  • [name]Grace[/name]
  • [name]Amelia[/name]
  • [name]Rachel[/name]
  • [name]Victoria[/name]
  • [name]Clementine[/name]
  • [name]Georgia[/name]
  • [name]Jade[/name]
  • [name]Clover[/name]

[name]Hope[/name] this helps! :slight_smile:

Sorry I didn’t realize your last name isn’t actually Stones. But here are some combinations of the ones I mentioned earlier:
I really like [name]Zola[/name] and [name]Zoa[/name]…so cute I really think you should consider :wink: !!! And with the nn [name]Zoe[/name].
SO how about
[name]Zola[/name] [name]Claire[/name]
[name]Zola[/name] [name]Snow[/name]
[name]Zola[/name] [name]Eve[/name]
or
[name]Zoa[/name] [name]Harper[/name]
[name]Zoa[/name] [name]Lark[/name]
[name]Zoa[/name] [name]Aster[/name]
[name]Zoa[/name] [name]Orchid[/name]

Thank you all so much!

I like [name]Sullivan[/name] [name]Ezra[/name], but would 2 middle names be too much if I added [name]Lyndon[/name]? I really want it in there for my uncle. [name]Sullivan[/name] [name]Ezra[/name] [name]Lyndon[/name]? I also like [name]Milo[/name] [name]Lyndon[/name] but is that too ‘L’ heavy?

I also like [name]Elowen[/name] and as I’m Welsh it sounds very nice. I’ve never heard of [name]Zoa[/name] before but I’m liking it a lot. Sorry for the surname confusion! My name is pretty unique so I don’t feel comfortable saying it but Stones is very similar phonetically just to give you an idea of the flow!

[name]Arabella[/name], [name]Emmeline[/name], [name]Madeline[/name], [name]Amelia[/name] and [name]Rachel[/name] are beautiful. Thank you svpower!

I also like [name]Zola[/name] [name]Eve[/name] and [name]Zoa[/name] [name]Lark[/name]! A lot of names to add to my list. You’re all awesome!

I actually think [name]Sullivan[/name] [name]Ezra[/name] [name]Lyndon[/name] could work. It makes it flow a lot nicer than if it was just: [name]Sullivan[/name] [name]Lyndon[/name] because of the similar endings. I have two middle names and it isn’t a big deal. Doesn’t make it too long unless you decide to give them as many as [name]Uma[/name] [name]Thurman[/name].

Oh yeah [name]Uma[/name] [name]Thurman[/name]'s baby name is a bit on the crazy side! I’ve read up a lot on having 2 middle names as I also liked [name]Zachary[/name] [name]Lyndon[/name] [name]James[/name]. [name]Glad[/name] to hear from someone who knows what it’s like!

I love [name]Milo[/name] and [name]Anya[/name]!
