[name]Hi[/name] [name]Lemon[/name]! Looking back at an old posting and here you suggested that names ending in ‘N’, i.e. [name]Emmeline[/name], would work great with [name]Anderson[/name]… In my recent ‘[name]Emmeline[/name]’ blog, you felt otherwise. You always seem to give such great advice, so maybe just a change of opinion here?[/quote]
[name]Hi[/name], Mommy [name]Anderson[/name],
Yeah - I just saw your other post. I’m sorry, I honestly don’t know what I was thinking when I wrote this!
I don’t think N endings are ideal. The N ending in a name like [name]Emmeline[/name] runs into the beginning N in your last name ([name]ANderson[/name]), which isn’t the prettiest sound in my opinion. Not the worst, but not the best, and I think we should always look for the best in finding a name for our children!
You mentioned that your husband liked [name]Emily[/name], right? [name]Do[/name] you not like [name]Emily[/name] because you think it is trendy and popular, or what is your objection? As I wrote before, names ending in Y are my favorite with [name]Anderson[/name], and [name]Emily[/name] always reminds me of [name]Emily[/name] [name]Bronte[/name] (Wuthering Heights) first, so I see it as a classic. I think that [name]Emily[/name] [name]Abigail[/name] [name]Anderson[/name] would be very cute, or something very classic like [name]Emily[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name] or [name]Emily[/name] [name]Margaret[/name] (not as nice - M heavy) would be beautiful!
Let me know if I can be of more assistance, and I apologize for the confusion. Sometimes I respond to so many posts that I forget to think things through all the way before responding thoughtfully, so I apologize that this had to happen on your thread.
Here are some more names. Good luck finding the right fit.
[name]Mallory[/name]
[name]Rachel[/name]
[name]Lorelei[/name]
[name]Brynn[/name]
[name]Bridget[/name]
[name]Meredith[/name]
[name]Natalie[/name]
[name]Gabrielle[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name]
Regarding [name]Macy[/name] vs. [name]Maisie[/name]: Sorry for the confusion. In my previous post, I spoke as an afterthought about the spelling. You are right that they are two distinctly separate names with different pronunciations. It seems that [name]Macy[/name] is indeed the “normal” spelling of that name; although, variations exist (as is the case for almost all names).
To clarify: From your list, [name]Macy[/name] [name]Anderson[/name] is my favorite. It’s so adorable and the flow is great!
[name]Maisie[/name]/[name]Maisy[/name] with the z sound is also very nice with [name]Anderson[/name]. [name]Maisie[/name] had its origin as a nn of [name]Margaret[/name], but has become a name unto itself. If I had to pick, I vote for [name]Macy[/name].
