My husband and I are expecting our third child. Our other two children are [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] [name_f]Jeanne[/name_f] and [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_u]Rhys[/name_u] (just goes by [name_u]Rhys[/name_u]). We don’t know the gender yet and are kind of stuck on names so far. For a girl we both like the nickname [name_f]Cammie[/name_f] but don’t want to use [name_u]Cameron[/name_u] or [name_f]Camille[/name_f]. My husband doesn’t seem to offer much in terms of names he likes but he has mentioned [name_f]Juliana[/name_f] and [name_m]Timothy[/name_m]. Our last name is one syllable and starts with P.
Names I like
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] “[name_f]Libby[/name_f]”
[name_f]Chiara[/name_f]
[name_f]Esther[/name_f] (husband does NOT like)
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Esme[/name_f]
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f]
[name_u]Ember[/name_u]
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_f]Greer[/name_f]
[name_m]Callum[/name_m] (hubby doesn’t want [name_u]Cal[/name_u] for a nickname)
[name_m]Cullen[/name_m]
[name_m]Ronan[/name_m]
[name_u]Bellamy[/name_u]
[name_m]Dashiell[/name_m]
[name_m]Dante[/name_m]
[name_m]Raphael[/name_m] “[name_u]Rafe[/name_u]”
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]
[name_m]Eli[/name_m] but only with full name [name_u]Elias[/name_u]
We’d also like to use a family name for the middle. For a boy the middle name will most likely be [name_m]Scott[/name_m] and for girls possibly [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] or [name_f]Ruth[/name_f]. If you could give us any advice, it would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
I think the nn [name_f]Cammie[/name_f] is adorable! Avoiding [name_f]Camille[/name_f] and [name_u]Cameron[/name_u], I can only think of [name_f]Camellia[/name_f]/[name_f]Camilla[/name_f] (too similar?), [name_f]Cambrie[/name_f]/[name_f]Cambria[/name_f] and [name_u]Campbell[/name_u].
From your girls’ list (and your husband’s ideas), I think [name_f]Juliana[/name_f], [name_f]Chiara[/name_f], [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], [name_f]Esme[/name_f], [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] and [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] are cute. [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] too, but I dislike [name_f]Libby[/name_f]. I don’t like [name_f]Esther[/name_f], [name_u]Ember[/name_u] or [name_f]Greer[/name_f]. From your boys’ one, I like [name_m]Ronan[/name_m], [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m], [name_m]Dante[/name_m], [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] and [name_u]Elias[/name_u]. I love [name_m]Callum[/name_m], but he totally will be a [name_u]Cal[/name_u] instead of a [name_u]Cam[/name_u].
With your mn, I think the best combos would be [name_f]Chiara[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] and [name_f]Esme[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]; [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] [name_m]Scott[/name_m], [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m] [name_m]Scott[/name_m] and [name_m]Dante[/name_m] [name_m]Scott[/name_m].
With [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] and [name_u]Rhys[/name_u], my faves are [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] and [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m] [name_m]Scott[/name_m].
[name_f]Victoria[/name_f] and [name_m]William[/name_m] are pretty traditional so I’d stay with that for a fn and use something less traditional for a mn. What about [name_u]Cam[/name_u] as a nn for [name_m]Callum[/name_m]? To get to [name_f]Cammie[/name_f], maybe you could use a fn-mn combo with Ca…M…-- [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] [name_f]Mila[/name_f], [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f] Merit, [name_m]Charles[/name_m] [name_u]Murray[/name_u], etc.
My favorites from your list are [name_f]Chiara[/name_f] and [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] for a girl and [name_m]Jasper[/name_m], [name_m]Raphael[/name_m], and [name_m]Ronan[/name_m] for a boy. I also like [name_m]Callum[/name_m], but if you’re worried about the nickname I’d probably avoid it.
I think the names that fit best in your sibset are [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] and [name_m]Jasper[/name_m]. Names Like [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], [name_f]Greer[/name_f], and [name_u]Ember[/name_u] feel out of place with the sibset.
If you’re still looking for a new way to [name_f]Cammie[/name_f] how about [name_f]Carmelita[/name_f] or [name_f]Carmela[/name_f]?
[name_f]Sister[/name_f] for [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] [name_f]Jeanne[/name_f] and [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_u]Rhys[/name_u] “[name_u]Rhys[/name_u]”:
I think that [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] would be the ones to blend in better with [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] and [name_m]William[/name_m] but since [name_m]William[/name_m] goes by [name_u]Rhys[/name_u], I think [name_f]Esme[/name_f] and [name_u]Ember[/name_u] would also be great choices.
Brother for [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] [name_f]Jeanne[/name_f] and [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_u]Rhys[/name_u] “[name_u]Rhys[/name_u]”:
