Need lovely unusual,but not weird & wacky,names for our bub

General Name Discussion

[name]Hi[/name],

This is my first post but I have been using nameberry ALOT the last 8 months to try and find some names for our baby, which is due in a few weeks. My DH and I tend to like the same names, which is a relief, but we don’t tend to like many names, which makes naming our baby hard!

We don’t know the sex (DH is convinced it’s a boy), so we need a good girls and boys name.

The names we really like are:
Girls
[name]Honor[/name]
[name]Ever[/name]

Boys
[name]Sage[/name]
[name]August[/name]

I also don’t mind the names:
Girls
Epic
[name]Anais[/name] (not sure about it)
[name]True[/name]
[name]Elodie[/name] (not sure again)

Boys
[name]Archer[/name]
(really stuck for any others we like)

So, please help!:

  • What do you like?
  • We have no idea for middle names, suggestions would be welcomed (they do not have to be from the names above and can be slightly more common, like [name]Grace[/name] etc)
  • Is [name]Sage[/name] ok for a boy or would he get teased? We love it for a boy but have read that it is more popular for a girl and I don’t usually like unisex names.

I appreciate anyone’s opinion and help!

[name]Honor[/name] This is a great name.
[name]Ever[/name] [name]Do[/name] you mean [name]Eve[/name]? If so it is a beautiful choice.

[name]Sage[/name] and [name]August[/name] go really well together

Epic Not for me.
[name]Anais[/name] This is a beautiful name that English speaking people have trouble pronouncing so I would use it in the mn spot for that reason.
[name]True[/name] I think this is more for the boys, but maybe that is just me
[name]Elodie[/name] A beautiful vintage name

[name]Archer[/name]
Combos

[name]Elodie[/name] [name]Matilda[/name]
[name]Elodie[/name] [name]True[/name]
[name]Elodie[/name] [name]Kate[/name]
[name]Elodie[/name] [name]Susannah[/name]
[name]Elodie[/name] [name]Violet[/name]

I think that [name]Honor[/name] needs an English combo and so I am not using [name]Anais[/name] for [name]Honor[/name]

[name]Honor[/name] [name]Clementine[/name]
[name]Honor[/name] [name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Honor[/name] [name]Amelia[/name]
[name]Honor[/name] [name]Katherine[/name]/[name]Kate[/name]
[name]Honor[/name] [name]Imogen[/name]

[name]Bridget[/name] [name]Anais[/name]
[name]Lorelai[/name] [name]Anais[/name]
[name]Delphine[/name] [name]Anais[/name]
[name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Anais[/name]

I think [name]Sage[/name] is the choice of someone who likes a nature theme and it may be a theme that you do not want to continue with future siblings.

[name]Lachlan[/name] [name]Archer[/name]
[name]Archer[/name] [name]Henry[/name]
[name]Archer[/name] [name]William[/name]
[name]Archer[/name] [name]Ronan[/name]
[name]Archer[/name] [name]Leo[/name]
[name]Archer[/name] [name]Donovan[/name]
[name]Archer[/name] [name]Timothy[/name]
[name]Archer[/name] [name]Taran[/name]
[name]Archer[/name] [name]Quentin[/name]
[name]Archer[/name] [name]Phillip[/name]

[name]August[/name] [name]James[/name]
[name]August[/name] [name]Connor[/name]
[name]August[/name] [name]Jonathan[/name]

A few more combos

[name]Felix[/name] [name]Jonathan[/name]
[name]Silas[/name] [name]Henry[/name]
[name]Axel[/name] [name]James[/name]
[name]Nathaniel[/name] [name]Phineas[/name]
[name]Barnaby[/name] [name]Micah[/name]

Girls:
[name]Honor[/name]- I love this name. It is a wonderfully modern virtue name that I don’t think you can go wrong with.
[name]Ever[/name] - This name still sounds more like a word to me than a name for some reason. I think this would work better as a middle name (though not for [name]Honor[/name], [name]Honor[/name] [name]Ever[/name] is too word heavy).

Not a big fan of Epic or [name]True[/name]. [name]Anais[/name] will probably encounter lots of pronunciation issues, unfortunately. [name]Elodie[/name] is very sweet. But if you’re not sure about it then it’s probably not right.

Combos:
[name]Honor[/name] [name]Elodie[/name]
[name]Honor[/name] [name]Adele[/name]
[name]Honor[/name] [name]Estelle[/name]
[name]Honor[/name] [name]Elisabeth[/name]
[name]Honor[/name] [name]Naomi[/name]
[name]Honor[/name] [name]Juliet[/name]
[name]Honor[/name] [name]Vivianne[/name]

[name]Elodie[/name] [name]True[/name]
[name]Elodie[/name] [name]Mae[/name]
[name]Elodie[/name] [name]Giselle[/name]
[name]Elodie[/name] [name]Nadine[/name]
[name]Elodie[/name] [name]Maxine[/name]

Boys:
[name]Sage[/name] - Unfortunately this name is leaning toward girls. It’s quickly rising for girls (it’s at 396 this year), and it’s only at 791 for boys. I think it would make a great middle though.
[name]August[/name] - I love this name! Great choice.
[name]Archer[/name] - This is a really nice name that would also go well with [name]Sage[/name]. Actually, there’s a blog called Girl’s Gone Child, and the woman who writes it has a son named [name]Archer[/name] [name]Sage[/name].

Combos:
[name]August[/name] [name]Sage[/name]
[name]August[/name] [name]Julian[/name]
[name]August[/name] [name]Nathaniel[/name]
[name]August[/name] [name]Milo[/name]
[name]August[/name] [name]Alexander[/name]

[name]Archer[/name] [name]Sage[/name]
[name]Archer[/name] [name]Tobias[/name]
[name]Archer[/name] [name]Ulysses[/name]
[name]Archer[/name] [name]Miles[/name]
[name]Archer[/name] [name]Elias[/name]

I like [name]Honor[/name] and [name]August[/name]! There’s also [name]Onora[/name] (pr. [name]Ah[/name]-nora) for girls. I’ve only ever met girls names [name]Sage[/name], but [name]Archer[/name] is great!

If I was gutsy enough, I’d use [name]Hero[/name] for my daughter. I think it’s gorgeous and fits with your other top girls names ([name]Honor[/name], Epic, et c.).

Also, there is a European band named Epica… which I don’t particularly like as a name but I like it more than just Epic. You may also like [name]Fable[/name].

Your boys names are perfect; I love [name]August[/name], [name]Sage[/name], and [name]Archer[/name] (though I prefer [name]Arthur[/name]). :o)

I love the name [name]Ever[/name]!

[name]August[/name] & [name]Sage[/name] are both great. [name]Don[/name]'t be afraid to name your boy [name]Sage[/name], I think it sounds more boyish than girlish…but I do like unisex names. You could give him a “manly” middle name just in case.
