First off - LOVE your kids’ names! I especially love seeing Sage on a boy, and it’s beautiful with Felix.
As for #3, I voted Willa Kate because Willa is by far my fave with Violet & Felix. But Kate feels like a filler MN, and not very interesting next to the others. If I could rearrange combos, I would pick Willa Juniper… just so happens I have that combo on my own list, it’s so spunky and fun. But even with Kate as the MN, I still vote for Willa.
- EDITED: Okay, I just saw that Kate is a family name, which makes me like it a little more. Also, I totally understand your attempts to continue all the themes, but the honestly naturey one is the only theme I really noticed in your set. Willa fits the bill on that one IMO - it has a very naturey vibe, even if it’s not exactly a nature name - and Willa Juniper certainly does.
Thank you! [name_u]Love[/name_u] love love [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]! I don’t know why but looking at our group of names I’m kind of blinded and have a hard time arranging them. It feels like those two names were meant to be together 
Ahh this is getting hard! I was at no names I really loved just a few days ago, now it’s getting hard to pick between them!
I love:
[name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]
[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_u]Lake[/name_u]
Oh wow, [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_u]Lake[/name_u] Prendergast sounds like the protagonist of a novel, and in a totally great way! [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_u]Lake[/name_u] would be my choice for sure. [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] Prendergast is also fantastic.
I’d consider switching around [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] [name_f]Lux[/name_f] and [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u]; the L’s in the first one slur together (isobellux) and the second is two words which sound a little odd together (though not as bad as [name_u]Blue[/name_u] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] or anything.) So I’d consider [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u] and [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Lux[/name_f].
Another random idea: I really love the sound of [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u]. There’s something gorgeously mysterious about it.
I’m not a fan of [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] and [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] is too run-of-the-mill [name_f]IMO[/name_f] with your other kids’ names. [name_f]Lux[/name_f] also doesn’t feel the classiest to me.
I’d choose between [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f], [name_f]Willa[/name_f], [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] or [name_f]Margaux[/name_f] with the middle that makes your heart happy.
For me it’d be [name_f]Willa[/name_f].
So many great choices! I love the suggestion of [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u].
My vote went to [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_u]Lake[/name_u]. It sort of sounds like [name_u]Silver[/name_u] [name_u]Lake[/name_u], but I don’t mind.
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u] is a bit too nature themed. [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_u]Lake[/name_u] isn’t quite… I hope that makes sense. I was all for the middle name [name_u]Winter[/name_u] though.
I picked [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_u]Lake[/name_u]! It sounds so cool and so adorable! [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] is a really great name it’s so sweet. And [name_u]Lake[/name_u] sounds really great.
First of all I love your kid’s names.
If I could I would actually switch some around and then my favorites would be.
[name_f]Margaux[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] or [name_f]Margaux[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u]
[name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]
I suggested the middle name [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] in the previous thread so I might be a little biased, but I vote for [name_f]Margaux[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f].
At first I thought [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] was definitely the best overall combo but then I noticed the similarity between [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and [name_f]Willa[/name_f] with their similar first and second letters. If [name_f]Violet[/name_f] is ever called “[name_f]Vi[/name_f]” then I think it would be too close to [name_f]Willa[/name_f]. So I voted for [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_u]Lake[/name_u] as I find the first name an excellent pairing with your other children and the first name very fitting style wise. [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] would be another lovely choice. [name_f]Margaux[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] seems like it is trying too hard and becomes a bit much in total with the last name. Good luck!
I love the subtle matching you’re doing with your children’s names! [name_f]Margaux[/name_f] is a beautiful name, I voted on that, however [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] sounds very unattractive and boring to me. Here are some other names that mean happy/joy:
[name_f]Aida[/name_f] (eye-EE-da), [name_f]Leda[/name_f], [name_f]Gwyneth[/name_f] ([name_f]Margaux[/name_f] [name_f]Gwyneth[/name_f] sounds so cool!), [name_f]Lettice[/name_f], [name_f]Leticia[/name_f] (leh-TEE-Sya), [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], [name_f]Allegra[/name_f].
I think [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] is beautiful. I know some think [name_f]Kate[/name_f] is a filler, but I love it! It’s simple, but classic.
To be quite honest I think [name_f]Margaux[/name_f] would be a hard name to grow up with.
Great choices but I haaaad to go with [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_u]Lake[/name_u]!
It is stunning, elegant and once I saw it, the other names fall away…for me at least. I love it.
I think the ‘[name_u]Lake[/name_u]’ is just enchanting. Only problem is that there is no X. But, as another posted mentioned, I wouldn’t have noticed the x theme if you hadn’t mentioned it…but since you did, I like the idea of carrying it through to baby #3.
I do love the [name_f]Margot[/name_f] -> [name_f]Margaux[/name_f] swap. Very clever and I think [name_f]Margaux[/name_f] looks much more modern that [name_f]Margot[/name_f].
So I would put [name_f]Margaux[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] in the #2 spot. [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] I could take it or leave it. [name_f]Margaux[/name_f] [name_u]Lake[/name_u]? I admit, the [name_u]Lake[/name_u] pairs particularly well with the [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] for some reason. [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_m]Felix[/name_m] & [name_f]Margaux[/name_f] make a solid sibset.
I see [name_f]Willa[/name_f] is popular but I just don’t care for the name much. Doesn’t seem inspired. And I don’t think it makes the best sibset w/ [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and [name_m]Felix[/name_m].
Well, I appreciate how [name_f]Margaux[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] follows the cute theme you have going, but, at the same time, I’ve never loved that spelling of [name_f]Margaux[/name_f]. I think [name_f]Margot[/name_f] is both more spunky and chic than [name_f]Margaux[/name_f]. Personally, I don’t think the theme is worth changing the spelling of the name if it’s a name you love - but I see that’s not the case for your husband.
I do really like [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] in the middle though. I would prefer:
[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f]
[name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f]
[name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f]
For some reason, I’m not feeling [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], even though it fits well. I really like [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] spelled this way, but the popularity of [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] makes me think that the names listed above may be better choices. I’m not a huge fan of [name_u]Winter[/name_u] or [name_f]Kate[/name_f] as middles. [name_f]Lux[/name_f] seems to work well given the -x, but I like [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] just so much more.
Have you thought about using a name with ‘x’ somewhere else in the name? For example, I consider [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] is a “cool” name and putting the x up front may be a cute way of updating your theme. [name_f]Calixta[/name_f] also comes to mind as an interesting female names with an ‘x’.
Also, have you considered [name_f]Allegra[/name_f], [name_f]Ilaria[/name_f]/[name_f]Hilaria[/name_f]/[name_f]Allaire[/name_f], or [name_f]Leta[/name_f] as names for happy? I think I may have missed a former thread of yours, so I apologize if this is redundant. However, I rather like [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f] [name_f]Allaire[/name_f].
I like [name_f]Calixta[/name_f] a lot! I’ve never heard it before… hmmm so many names to consider! Husband is not liking [name_f]Margaux[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] so much, I purposefully withheld [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] from him while I was trying to sell him on [name_f]Margaux[/name_f]. Where we’re at now, [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_u]Lake[/name_u] is probably the favorite between us despite it not entirely sticking with the theme. Like previous posters mentioned, there is something so ‘right’ about the names together, idk what it is.
[name_u]LOVE[/name_u] your children’s names! [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_u]Lake[/name_u] was the one I voted for - not entirely sticking to your requirements I know, but just swoon-worthy. [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_m]Felix[/name_m] and [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] are just gorgeous together.
Sylvia means ‘from the forest’ (or something to that effect), it has such a gentle, elegant, fairy-like feel that goes beautifully with Lake…and the nn option of Sylvie is divine.
There’s something really hip about the names [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and [name_m]Felix[/name_m], so I feel Marguax, [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] and [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] go best. Have you considered the name [name_f]Willow[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Willa[/name_f])?
[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_u]Lake[/name_u] Prendergast - I like this combo but feel like [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] doesn’t fit your sibset
[name_f]Margaux[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] Prendergast - This is beautiful.
[name_f]Isobel[/name_f] [name_f]Lux[/name_f] Prendergast - I love [name_f]Lux[/name_f]! Have you thought about using it as a first name or with other combinations?
[name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] Prendergast - Pretty combo.
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u] Prendergast - Sounds pretty together and I love [name_u]Winter[/name_u]
[name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] Prendergast *[name_f]Kate[/name_f] is after her aunt [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] - Chic and elegant.
I adore [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] as a middle name. I think it’s so sleek and dignified, yet energetic.
My favourite of the first names you have listed is [name_f]Isobel[/name_f], despite the popularity of alternate spellings and [name_f]Isabella[/name_f]. I also think it fits the best stylistically with [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and [name_m]Felix[/name_m]. I love [name_f]Lux[/name_f] as a nickname, too, or [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] Prendergast would be divine! Or [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] Prendergast would be lovely to honour her aunt.
