I currently have twins [name_f][/name_f]-Henry [name_m]Michael[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]-Caroline [name_f]Lily[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]
For a third baby [name_f][/name_f], unknown gender, I am considering naming after a friend [name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_m]Anderson[/name_m]. I thought a combination of the two names would be cool … [name_m]Emerson[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f], but I’m not sure I love the name. We love old fashion names. If we did [name_m]Emerson[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f], a girl could be nicknamed [name_f]Emmie[/name_f], what about a boy? Any other name ideas that incorporate her name but aren’t too out there. I also love [name_f]Kate[/name_f] as a middle name for a girl! Potentially [name_m]Anderson[/name_m] could also work for a boy and calling him [name_m]Andy[/name_m]? But would love to find something a little more classic that still pays tribute. Thanks in advance for your help!
First of all, I love [name_m]Henry[/name_m] and [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] together! [name_m]Emerson[/name_m] is a great idea but doesn’t really seem to match your twins’ style. Maybe as a middle name? [name_m]Anderson[/name_m] could also be a great middle name for a boy! [name_f][/name_f]For a girl (besides just using [name_f]Emily[/name_f], which could definitely work!) [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]Emilia/Amelia [name_f][/name_f]Emilie/Amelie [name_f][/name_f]Mille/Millie [name_f][/name_f]Anne/Anna (for Anderson) [name_f][/name_f]Anneliese/Annalise [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Drea[/name_f] (feminine form of Andrew) [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Andrea[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Andrina[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]Any name ending in -son (although these also don’t really match [name_m]Henry[/name_m] and Caroline)
[name_f][/name_f]
For a boy: [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Andrew[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Anders[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Emil[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Drew[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]Andre/Andreas
I like [name_m]Emerson[/name_m] on a boy too. [name_f][/name_f]Other choices: [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Emory[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Amelie[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Cassandra[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]
I love the suggestions of [name_f]Emma[/name_f] and [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] for a girl, they would both fit wonderfully with your twins’ names! Maybe …
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] (matching the -ly ending) [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Ellie[/name_f] / [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] / [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] (contain the E & L) [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Molly[/name_f] (-ly ending & letter M) [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Melody[/name_f] (similar letters)
Does your friend have a middle name that you could find a variant of? Using [name_f]Anne[/name_f], [name_f]Emily[/name_f], or [name_m]Anderson[/name_m] as a middle name would also be a good option, I think.
[name_f]Emery[/name_f] could be used for a boy or girl, the “em” comes from emily, the “er” comes from anderson and the “y” comes from [name_f]Emily[/name_f].
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_m]Anderson[/name_m] could be great for a boy with nickname [name_m]Andy[/name_m]. [name_f]Andrea[/name_f] (on,drey,yuh) would be great for a girl with nickname [name_m]Andy[/name_m] or [name_f]Andie[/name_f] as well.
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Lia[/name_f] could be an option because of the “il” in [name_f]Emily[/name_f] and the A in [name_m]Anderson[/name_m].
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Mila[/name_f] could also be an option because of “Mil” from [name_f]Emily[/name_f] and A from [name_m]Anderson[/name_m].
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_m]Elia[/name_m] because of “E” and “il” from emily and “A” from anderson, also [name_m]Elio[/name_m] for these reasons if you have a boy.
[name_f][/name_f]
I love the middle name [name_f]Kate[/name_f] for a girl! I think [name_f]Lia[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f], [name_m]Elia[/name_m] [name_f]Kate[/name_f], or [name_f]Emery[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] or [name_f]Andrea[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] would all sound great- as would [name_m]Emerson[/name_m] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]!
[name_m]Emerson[/name_m] does combine your friends name is nicely it’s actually a really great idea. I think [name_f]Emmy[/name_f] as a nickname is sweet for girls and maybe for boys you could use the nickname [name_m]Sonny[/name_m] if you decided to go with [name_m]Emerson[/name_m]. Still completely agree [name_m]Emerson[/name_m] feels stylistically different from your twins names. Maybe [name_m]Emerson[/name_m] could be a middle name? I love the idea of [name_f]Kate[/name_f] [name_m]Emerson[/name_m]. Upfront for girls maybe actually using [name_f]Emily[/name_f] would work! [name_f]Emily[/name_f] is very classic and feels in keeping with your beautifully named twins. Alternatively maybe [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f], [name_f]Emma[/name_f], [name_f]Emilia[/name_f], [name_f]Emiliana[/name_f] & [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] could work as a way to honour your friend and all sound pretty with [name_f]Kate[/name_f]. For boys I think [name_m]Anderson[/name_m] is fun but again a little modern I did think [name_m]Andrew[/name_m] would be more in keeping with your twins whilst honouring your friend. I also liked the idea of [name_m]Anders[/name_m] and [name_m]Emil[/name_m].
[name_m]Anderson[/name_m] nn andy/i could be used for either gender and maybe nn anna for girl [name_f][/name_f]! [name_f][/name_f] As well as [name_m]Emerson[/name_m] nn emmy

[name_f][/name_f]
I’m biased towards [name_m]Andrew[/name_m] because that’s my dads name and an honor name in my case ( nn drew could be for boy or girl too )
[name_f][/name_f]
Some other names I think could work [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Evelyn[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- girl [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Allison[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- girl [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Annistyn[/name_f] / [name_f]Anniston[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- unisex [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Mia[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- girl [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Mila[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- girl [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Millie[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- girl [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- girl [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Milo[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- boy [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Sanders[/name_m] / anders [name_f][/name_f]- unisex/ boy [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Ernest[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- boy [name_f][/name_f][name_m]Miles[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- boy

[name_f][/name_f]
Maybe if [name_f]Kate[/name_f] isn’t fitting with some names you could maybe do flowers like [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] lily [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Azalea[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Marigold[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Belle[/name_f] (blue bell) [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Sunny[/name_f] (sunflower) [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Lilac[/name_f]
