Ok. I think we have a pretty solid list that we will go off of once baby is here. We want to meet him/her before making the name official.
Please give me some feedback on these choices. Also, please feel free to add any other names. Always looking for more options:)
Big brother is [name_u]Porter[/name_u] [name_m]Bromley[/name_m]
If baby is a girl:
[name_f]Delia[/name_f] [name_f]Briar[/name_f]
Lowen [name_f]Briar[/name_f]
[name_f]Mina[/name_f] [name_f]Briar[/name_f]
If baby is a boy:
[name_u]Hollis[/name_u] [name_m]Brian[/name_m]
[name_u]Royce[/name_u] [name_m]Brian[/name_m]
[name_u]Ellis[/name_u] [name_m]Brian[/name_m]
Middle name is after my dad, [name_m]Brian[/name_m], who passed away [name_f]May[/name_f] 2016. [name_u]Porter[/name_u]'s middle name is my mom’s maiden name.
[name_u]Porter[/name_u] and [name_f]Delia[/name_f] win, hands-down for me.
I don’t like the word associations I have with [name_f]Mina[/name_f]. (sounds like ‘mean’ and when paired with [name_f]Briar[/name_f] it begins to feel too prickly)
Lowen is pretty but I don’t think it matches the style of [name_f]Briar[/name_f].
[name_f]Delia[/name_f] [name_f]Briar[/name_f] feels very fresh, optimistic, lovely and gentle. And it’s perfect with [name_u]Porter[/name_u].
I like [name_u]Porter[/name_u] and [name_u]Ellis[/name_u] the best from the boys!
[name_u]Hollis[/name_u] is my runner-up. [name_u]Royce[/name_u] is just not my style and feels too stiff (also too Rolls-[name_u]Royce[/name_u]-y)
[name_u]Porter[/name_u] [name_m]Bromley[/name_m] is amazing!
Anyhow, I like [name_f]Delia[/name_f] [name_f]Briar[/name_f] for a girl! I do adore [name_f]Mina[/name_f] but I do agree with the above poster that [name_f]Mina[/name_f] [name_f]Briar[/name_f] is a bit prickly. Maybe [name_f]Lena[/name_f], instead?
For a boy, I like both [name_u]Hollis[/name_u] and [name_u]Ellis[/name_u]. However, with the mn [name_m]Brian[/name_m], I much prefer [name_u]Ellis[/name_u].
Congrats
Along with pretty much everyone else here, I love your combos of [name_f]Delia[/name_f] [name_f]Briar[/name_f] and [name_u]Ellis[/name_u] [name_m]Brian[/name_m], they’re both absolutely fantastic! Good choices
I am just wanting to add my pick is
[name_f]Delia[/name_f] [name_f]Briar[/name_f] & [name_u]Ellis[/name_u] [name_m]Brian[/name_m] too.
I adore [name_f]Briar[/name_f] and [name_f]Delia[/name_f] is a a lovely choice for the first name.
Not only Congrats but so sorry to hear you lost your father just last year. I hope you feel more strength through honoring his name. Best wishes
I like all your girl options. [name_m]Favorite[/name_m] would be [name_f]Mina[/name_f] followed by [name_f]Delia[/name_f]. Lowen is cute too. Did you consider Lowen [name_f]Brianna[/name_f]? [name_f]Brianna[/name_f] can sound a little dated usually but I like it in that combo. Other ideas are [name_f]Harlow[/name_f] and [name_f]Tess[/name_f]/a.
For boys I like [name_u]Hollis[/name_u], followed by [name_u]Ellis[/name_u]. Not a fan of [name_u]Royce[/name_u]. It feels stuffy to me. Other ideas are [name_u]Colby[/name_u], [name_m]Davis[/name_m], [name_m]Rhett[/name_m], and [name_u]Rhys[/name_u].
With big bro [name_u]Porter[/name_u] [name_m]Bromley[/name_m], I prefer [name_f]Mina[/name_f] [name_f]Briar[/name_f] and [name_u]Ellis[/name_u] [name_m]Brian[/name_m]. [name_f]Delia[/name_f] [name_f]Briar[/name_f] is also nice.
Wow, loving all these responses. Thank you!!
Does anyone think [name_u]Ellis[/name_u] is starting to trend more for girls? I love the name and think it could be the one but have that hesitation. I k ow [name_u]Hollis[/name_u] is used for girls too so I feel the same way about that name.
Also, do you think [name_f]Delia[/name_f] is pronounced in 2 or 3 syllables? Can it go both ways? “[name_f]Deal[/name_f]-e-ah” or “[name_f]Deal[/name_f]-ya”?
