After a few weeks away (busy season for us!) I’m back on the forums!
We’re talking about TTC #2 at the end of this year/early 2024. Our first will turn 1 in November () so we’re hoping to wait until after that milestone before trying again!
We need help with girl names, though. We’ve always struggled a bit here because we have different ideas. Our son is Max.well and we adore his name. We love the vintage flair, groundedness, and the built in formal and nickname option. When we were expecting him, our girl shortlist was:
Phoebe (our top contender)
Hazel (love the unexpected letter but a little popular)
Nora (a little popular)
Margot (possibly problematic with our last name ending in a long -o)
None of these feel quite right now. I think I just need a fresh jolt of inspiration - that’s where you come in!
Also, if helpful, we’ve recently discussed several boy names that we like:
Amos
Charlie
Kimball (prob a middle name though - family honor)
Miles
Murphy
Other ideas you might like:
[name_f]Willa[/name_f]
[name_f]Petra[/name_f]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_u]Ivy[/name_u]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_f]Vera[/name_f]
[name_f]Sophie[/name_f] (too popular?)
[name_u]Willow[/name_u] (though it does have the O ending)
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]
[name_f]Greta[/name_f]
[name_f]Nina[/name_f]
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f]
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f]
Awhhh I love [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] as a sister! I like [name_u]Hazel[/name_u] in theory, but not sure how I feel about the repeated endings with brother. [name_f]Nora[/name_f] is really nice, I like that one too! [name_f]Margot[/name_f] is also lovely but might be a no-go with the last name.
I think [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] is my favourite, simple, pretty and with very cute nickname potential. [name_f]Fifi[/name_f] and [name_f]Bee[/name_f]! [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] could also be a good choice for you, I also love [name_u]Hazel[/name_u] and very cute name. I love it with many names and [name_u]Max[/name_u] is one of them!
Firstly happy first birthday M@x for when he does reach that milestone in [name_u]November[/name_u]
Looking at your selection of names I absolutely love [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] & [name_u]Hazel[/name_u] paired your son’s name. [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] is gorgeous such a sweet, bubbly name with a pretty sound. I think [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] works wonderfully with M@x such a lovely cohesive sibling set. I think [name_u]Hazel[/name_u] is also gorgeous adding a soft autumnal flair to the overall sibling set. Very wholesome.
You’ve had lots of lovely suggestions so count any repeats as me being in agreement with the berries
Hopefully these help! Tried to give you ones that aren’t too too popular! (Out of the top 200 except for [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] which was 104 in the US last year )
You have fantastic taste! I love Max/Maxwell, and your whole list is full of winners. [name_u]Amos[/name_u] is probably my least favorite from your boy list, but that’s not really relevant here.
