New Combos + Potential Crushes

I feel like I may have stuck gold in coming up with 3 new girl combos that I really love (and think DH might approve of!). We are actively TTC (:grimacing:) and struggle with girl names, but today I love these options:

[name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_u]October[/name_u]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Praise[/name_f]
[name_f]Ramona[/name_f] [name_f]Wednesday[/name_f]

I love the vintage-with-a-twist feel of these combos, especially with cool, unexpected middle names. What are your thoughts on these combos?

I also listed out some other names I’m crushing on that flow well with our surname and that I feel more optimistic about getting DH on board with:

[name_f]Emilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Gloria[/name_f]
[name_u]Hollis[/name_u]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f]Maren[/name_f]
[name_f]Olive[/name_f]
[name_u]Scout[/name_u]
[name_f]Willa[/name_f]

This list isn’t exhaustive of all the names I like (which could be very long!) but just new ones I’m considering today. Would love your thoughts on these and welcome any additions/edits/combos!

Lastly, I’ve recently realized that while I love a lot of girl names, I have a hard time picturing them in real life on my future daughter. So…any tips for that would also be greatly appreciated! :laughing:

Firstly wishing you all the best with your TTC journey :sparkles::crossed_fingers:t4:

You have an absolutely wonderful list honestly I’m experiencing name envy. I wanted to address your whole thing about struggling to picture a daughter called x I had a similar issue with my daughter [name_f]Lilia[/name_f]. I think with me I always pictured naming my daughter [name_f]Rose[/name_f] so when that was taken off the tables I really struggled with choosing another name that could fit for me. So when I actually found out I was having a girl and I found a new name I love I just kept calling her [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] till it became natural. I still had some doubts after she was born but [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] is definitely her name now. You will find the right one so try not to panic :yellow_heart:

@tori101 thank you for the perspective and all the lovely name suggestions! I’m sure once I actually have a baby to name it’ll feel more real, I just have loved names for the longest time and love to think through combos!

@cactusgram thank you! [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] is a newer interest of mine and I’m still a little unsure (even though it checks off so many boxes for me!) but I came up with [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] [name_f]Wednesday[/name_f] and I think it’s just so sparkly and cool!

So…DH hated all of my stunning combos. :laughing: he did say that he likes [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] and [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] as first names, though, so at least we have one win!
