Me and my SO have a 4 month old son, [name_m]Wiley[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]. We aren’t planning on trying for #2 for a few more years but since we are on opposite sides of the girl name spectrum I feel that I need to get ahead of the game in case #2 is a girl. We already have a boy name picked out, [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] nn [name_u]Teddy[/name_u].
Our girls list so far…
[name_f]Leona[/name_f] - after his grandmother, I would prefer this in the middle name spot [name_u]Kit[/name_u] - maybe as a nickname for [name_f]Katherine[/name_f]
…and that is pretty much it. I suggested [name_f]Leona[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] nn [name_u]Kit[/name_u] but only got a maybe. [name_f]Every[/name_f] other name I’ve suggested has been shot down.
I tend to like boyish names, nickname style names, and names with a southern feel: [name_f]Alma[/name_f], [name_f]Andie[/name_f], [name_u]Percy[/name_u], [name_f]Molly[/name_f], [name_u]River[/name_u], [name_f]Sidda[/name_f], etc.
However my SO has decreed that there will be no more names ending in the -EE sound ([name_m]Wiley[/name_m] & [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] is enough) and of course the name has to sound nice with his last name (sounds like Calvert).
Any suggestions you can give would be much appreciated.
I think [name_f]Leona[/name_f] is gorgeous! [name_f]Leona[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] is so pretty, but I would call her [name_f]Leona[/name_f].
Thanks, I agree [name_f]Leona[/name_f] is very pretty, but not really my style. I just can’t picture a little girl [name_f]Leona[/name_f]. And [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] “[name_f]Katie[/name_f]” is my own name so I was trying to find another nickname, hence “[name_u]Kit[/name_u].”
[name_f]Leona[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] is lovely! What names does your significant other like?
Since [name_u]Kit[/name_u] is also a nickname for [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] what about [name_f]Christine[/name_f], [name_f]Christabel[/name_f], [name_f]Christiana[/name_f] or [name_f]Christina[/name_f]?
Other ways to get [name_u]Kit[/name_u]:
[name_f]Katrina[/name_f]
[name_f]Katarina[/name_f]
[name_f]Katriona[/name_f]
[name_f]Katrin[/name_f]
[name_f]Katalin[/name_f]
