Naming by syllables...

junebabymama · March 16, 2017, 7:56am

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] NB folks! My husband is a detail-oriented guy and he thinks that our baby girl’s name should be a 2 syllable first name and a 4 syllable middle name. I, on the other hand, just go by if a name feels right and if I can shout it out the back door. I’m hoping that there might be some people here who enjoy this type of challenge and could come up with some suggestions?

Our last name is 2 syllables and rhymes with “borrow.” We like names that are fairly easy to pronounce/spell but are open to popular and rare names alike.

Thanks!

Wow, [name_f]Margot[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] is gorgeous…will add to list! Thank you!

We have no favorites that we agree on, unfortunately. I tend to like nature names and names that start with E or L but husband is all over the place. This baby would be named [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] if it were just up to me.

[name_f]Do[/name_f] you like [name_f]Leanora[/name_f] or Elanora? You could use those as a middle.
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] leads me to suggesting these for firsts (of course paired with a different MN) - maybe you like the sound of these?

[name_f]Leah[/name_f]
[name_f]Leia[/name_f]
[name_f]Nora[/name_f]
[name_f]Lana[/name_f]
[name_f]Lara[/name_f]
[name_f]Lena[/name_f]
[name_f]Nola[/name_f]
[name_f]Nala[/name_f]

MN suggestions:

[name_f]Leanora[/name_f]
Elanora
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f]
Fioretta
[name_f]Valencia[/name_f]
Lizaveta
[name_f]Mariana[/name_f]
[name_f]Marianna[/name_f]
[name_f]Julieta[/name_f]
Amoreta
[name_f]Xiomara[/name_f]
[name_f]Manuela[/name_f]
