Norah, Oscar and?

Name Advice
1

[name_f]Norah[/name_f] and [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] will have a brother or sister in [name_u]October[/name_u]. We’re all very excited but totally lost when it comes to names. Hubby’s family is Germam so the name has to work in both [name_f]English[/name_f] and [name_m]German[/name_m].

I’ve got a few I like but my DH has a weird story for each of them :frowning:

For a girl I quite like [name_f]Ada[/name_f], [name_f]Edda[/name_f], [name_f]Rosa[/name_f], [name_f]Cara[/name_f].

Boys names on my list: [name_m]Hector[/name_m], [name_m]Casper[/name_m], [name_m]Vincent[/name_m].

Can’t wait for your suggestions!

[name_f]Milla[/name_f]

[name_f]Norah[/name_f]
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m]

Both:

  • have an ‘O’
  • are 2 syllables
  • have the same letter length and visual length

Don’t know to what extend any of these matter in your naming calculus, but they’re worth pointing out!

Some names that fit some of the above characterizations:

BOYS

  • [name_m]Hector[/name_m] - on your list, this fits all of the points!
  • [name_u]Oliver[/name_u]
  • [name_u]Owen[/name_u]
  • [name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
  • [name_m]Rosco[/name_m]
  • Volko
  • [name_u]Boris[/name_u]
  • [name_u]Milo[/name_u]
  • [name_m]Collin[/name_m]

GIRLS

  • [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Liora[/name_f] ** - has the same o, r, and a of the first two names
  • Cora** - has the same o, r, and a of the siblings’ names

I love all of your ideas!

So many lovely names, thank you! :blush:

Hubby is warming to [name_f]Ida[/name_f] (pronounced Ee-da), and I sneaked [name_f]Mia[/name_f], [name_f]Mila[/name_f], [name_f]Lina[/name_f] onto the list of girls names. He suggested [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] which I’m not too keen on. I also like [name_f]Tilda[/name_f] but my sister’s oldest is called Mathilda…

DH suggested [name_m]Eric[/name_m] for a boy which I’m very slowly warming to. He also wanted to add [name_m]Conrad[/name_m] which was a firm NO from me. From your suggestions, I like [name_m]Jacob[/name_m], [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_m]Leo[/name_m] and Lucas…and so far DH hasn’t come up with a story about those :grin:
