New Strategy. Suggestions needed please for Girl #3!

So first off, thank you to everyone who provided suggestions in my previous post. Unfortunately my husband didn’t like a single one. :frowning: So I’m going with a new strategy. Our daughters names are [name_f]Roxanne[/name_f] and [name_f]Vera[/name_f] and we do like names that are easy to pronounce and spell. [name_f]Vera[/name_f] was a hard sell initially for him but he has always liked [name_f]Roxanne[/name_f]…so how about some suggestions along the same vein as [name_f]Roxanne[/name_f]?

Anything at this point would be better than what we have. (Which is me liking [name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] and him being very much on the fence)

Thanks!

He didn’t like [name_u]Simone[/name_u]? I think that sounds gorgeous with your daughter’s names! What about [name_f]Coralie[/name_f]? That is a lot like [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] but without the R so that it doesn’t interfere with [name_f]Roxanne[/name_f]. And the nn [name_f]Cora[/name_f] is sweet! [name_f]Roxanne[/name_f], [name_f]Vera[/name_f], and [name_f]Coralie[/name_f]! I think your daughter’s names sound fresh, sultry, and continental, and that is not how I would describe the name [name_f]Edith[/name_f] at ALL (I still think [name_m]Archie[/name_m] Bunker)…I think [name_f]Zoey[/name_f]/[name_u]Zooey[/name_u] would be great in your set, or anything with a ‘Z’ in it or at the beginning! [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f], [name_f]Maizie[/name_f], [name_f]Esme[/name_f] (this has the z sound!), [name_f]Suzette[/name_f] (he didn’t like [name_f]Cosette[/name_f]/[name_f]Cozette[/name_f] either? I love that with the nn Cozy with your girls!) Other names that just sound good with your girls’ names imo are: [name_f]Raquel[/name_f], [name_f]Lucinda[/name_f] (my girls have a friend, aged 10, with this name and it is surprisingly gorgeous and spunky on her!), Mielle (means ‘honey’ in [name_m]French[/name_m], I believe), [name_f]Bryony[/name_f], [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]. [name_f]Hope[/name_f] that helps!

I started this thread before but no one was even looking at and apparently it won’t close from my phone. I’ll need to fix it when I get in front of a computer again.

[name_f]Roxanne[/name_f]'s middle name is [name_f]Coraline[/name_f] so [name_f]Coralie[/name_f] won’t work. But obviously we are thinking along the same lines. :slight_smile:

The other names you suggested sound great but most people wouldn’t be able to spell them so that typically rules them out for us.

I love maisie but I already know people can’t pronounce it here let alone spell it.

[name_f]Roxanne[/name_f], [name_f]Vera[/name_f] & [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] (better if she weren’t so popular)
[name_f]Roxanne[/name_f], [name_f]Vera[/name_f] & [name_f]Naomi[/name_f]/[name_f]Clio[/name_f]
[name_f]Roxanne[/name_f], [name_f]Vera[/name_f] & [name_f]Estelle[/name_f]/[name_f]Lucille[/name_f]
[name_f]Roxanne[/name_f], [name_f]Vera[/name_f] & [name_f]Daphne[/name_f]/[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Roxanne[/name_f], [name_f]Vera[/name_f] & [name_f]Felicity[/name_f]/[name_f]Miranda[/name_f]
[name_f]Roxanne[/name_f], [name_f]Vera[/name_f] & [name_f]Odette[/name_f]/[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]
[name_f]Roxanne[/name_f], [name_f]Vera[/name_f] & [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]/[name_f]Cecily[/name_f]
[name_f]Roxanne[/name_f], [name_f]Vera[/name_f] & [name_f]Lenore[/name_f]/[name_f]Sabine[/name_f]
[name_f]Roxanne[/name_f], [name_f]Vera[/name_f] & [name_f]Bernadette[/name_f]/[name_f]Colette[/name_f]
[name_f]Roxanne[/name_f], [name_f]Vera[/name_f] & [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f]/[name_f]Astrid[/name_f]
?

Ok so your husband seems to hate old lady names so here are some that are more modern or that you may be able to slide by…
[name_f]Veronica[/name_f]
[name_f]Mirabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Bronwen[/name_f]/[name_f]Bronwyn[/name_f]
[name_f]Briar[/name_f]
[name_u]Leighton[/name_u]
[name_f]Claudia[/name_f]
[name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f]
[name_u]Emery[/name_u]
[name_f]Marilyn[/name_f]
[name_u]Arden[/name_u]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
Loreli
[name_f]Bridget[/name_f]/bridgette
[name_u]Waverly[/name_u]

Let us know his feedback! I have a terrible time knowing what my hubby likes… it seems so random with men!

He does have rather random taste in names. Yesterday he suggested [name_f]Maxine[/name_f]. Like really?
I already know he doesn’t like [name_f]Bronwyn[/name_f], [name_f]Bridget[/name_f], [name_u]Waverly[/name_u], [name_f]Briar[/name_f] and [name_u]Leighton[/name_u]. [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] we just find hard for people to spell. [name_u]Arden[/name_u] to us is a boys name. (it is all who you meet with it first I think) Not sure about the other ones. At least he does give suggestions. [name_m]Just[/name_m] not always good ones. :slight_smile:

I put [name_f]Roxanne[/name_f] and [name_f]Vera[/name_f] in the Nymbler Name Generator and these are the ones I liked best with them:
[name_f]Roxanne[/name_f], [name_f]Vera[/name_f] & [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]
[name_f]Roxanne[/name_f], [name_f]Vera[/name_f] & [name_f]Joni[/name_f]
[name_f]Roxanne[/name_f], [name_f]Vera[/name_f] & [name_f]Marla[/name_f]

I haven’t read your other thread, but these are names that seem to go with [name_f]Roxanne[/name_f] (and [name_f]Vera[/name_f]) without being too old fashioned sounding. Good luck!

[name_f]Roxanne[/name_f], [name_f]Vera[/name_f] and…

[name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_f]Margo[/name_f]
[name_f]Cassia[/name_f]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f]Marietta[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f]

I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] the name [name_f]Vera[/name_f]! That’s actually what I’d use if I had a 3rd girl today… Anyway, here are my suggestions:
[name_f]Petra[/name_f]
[name_f]Gina[/name_f]
[name_f]Jeannie[/name_f]
[name_u]Pepper[/name_u]

Would he go for [name_m]Lennox[/name_m]?? it has an x…easy to spell, I assume.
Um, [name_m]Lenny[/name_m] is a cool nickname. or [name_u]Lexi[/name_u].
[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]??
[name_f]Alexia[/name_f]?
[name_f]Alexandria[/name_f]??

So he didn’t like anything on the list. I thought we might agree in [name_u]Simone[/name_u] but then ran into pronounciation issues. I would say it with a moan ending but he knows someone who says it with a mon endjng which is probably the correct way to say it.

If there are any names even left to suggest I would appreciate it.

[name_f]Roxanne[/name_f], [name_f]Vera[/name_f] and…

[name_f]Cecily[/name_f]
[name_f]Melody[/name_f]
[name_f]Julia[/name_f]
[name_f]Daniella[/name_f]

I feel like [name_u]Waverly[/name_u], [name_f]Ramona[/name_f], [name_u]Monroe[/name_u], [name_u]Kendall[/name_u], [name_u]Adair[/name_u], [name_f]Ryann[/name_f], [name_f]Nella[/name_f], [name_u]Sailor[/name_u], [name_u]Sutton[/name_u], [name_u]Blakeley[/name_u], [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] would work well. Like an edgy name but very pretty.

hope this helps!
