Now that [name]Luca[/name] is going on four months and I’m getting a bit more sleep, I’ve starting obsessing about what I’m going to name his future siblings. I’m actually wondering if I’ll be able to name them at all! My husband and I are both half Italian, so we like that [name]Luca[/name] is Italian but still “goes” with our more [name]German[/name]-sounding last name (husband’s other half is [name]German[/name]/Polish). Below are all of the stipulations for future names.
Can’t begin with R or L
Can’t end in -r, or -ra
Goes with [name]Luca[/name], but isn’t overly “matchy” (so doesn’t necessarily need to be Italian)
Goes with our [name]German[/name]-sounding last name (very similar to Rothman)
Middle names for girls: [name]Celeste[/name], [name]Magdalena[/name] or [name]Camilla[/name] (preferably [name]Celeste[/name])
Middle names for boys: [name]John[/name], [name]Paul[/name] or [name]Winston[/name] (or some combination)
Names we like but can’t use for various reasons: [name]Clara[/name], [name]Lila[/name], [name]Simon[/name], [name]Jasper[/name], [name]Ada[/name], [name]Milo[/name], [name]Eudora[/name], [name]Hugo[/name]
I’m in love with [name]Paloma[/name] [name]Celeste[/name] or [name]Delphine[/name] [name]Celeste[/name] but I’m not sure they go with our last name. For boys, lately I like [name]Sebastian[/name] [name]Paul[/name] (but [name]Sebastian[/name] is way too popular for my tastes). And of course I still have a soft spot for [name]Annabel[/name]!
[name]Hi[/name] [name]Olive[/name]! I’m glad you’re sleeping more. ([name]Luca[/name], you’re totally allowed to sleep through the night! Go for it, little guy!)
[name]Amelia[/name] ( Italian [name]Mia[/name] nn, although it’s popular)
[name]Alessia[/name]
[name]Allegra[/name]
[name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Cordelia[/name]
[name]Camilla[/name]
[name]Dahlia[/name]
[name]Daphne[/name]
[name]Dorothea[/name] (nn [name]Thea[/name]…isn’t this your middle name?)
[name]Esme[/name]
[name]Eliana[/name]
[name]Estella[/name]
[name]Eleanora[/name]
[name]Francesca[/name] (I love [name]Francesca[/name]!)
[name]Flora[/name]
[name]Gemma[/name] (Italian, too!)
[name]Genevra[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Miranda[/name] (nn [name]Mira[/name])
[name]Mirabelle[/name]/[name]Mirabella[/name]
[name]Mariella[/name]

[name]Theodora[/name] (nn [name]Thea[/name])
[name]Viola[/name]
[name]Violetta[/name]
[name]Viviana[/name]
[name]Willa[/name]
I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Paloma[/name] and [name]Delphine[/name], and [name]Annabel[/name] is one of my all-time favorites.
[name]Jill[/name], you have such a good memory! Yes, my mn is [name]Dorothea[/name]. I have thought about using it, even though I use to hate it Of course when I was a kid I wanted to be [name]Cindy[/name].
I knew you’d think of some names I hadn’t considered”[name]Dahlia[/name], [name]Mirabelle[/name], and [name]SImone[/name] are all going on the girl’s list. For boys, I think [name]Cassius[/name] is amazing! Can’t believe I haven’t thought of that since I love many of the -us names! I actually love [name]Raphael[/name] too but would have to work on DH with that one.
Yea! I love [name]Dahlia[/name], [name]Mirabelle[/name], and [name]Simone[/name]. ([name]Dahlia[/name] [name]Simone[/name] is my favorite [name]Dahlia[/name] combo.)
I really love [name]Luca[/name] with [name]Cassius[/name], too.
You sound exactly like me! Mine is just over four months and I’m completely obsessed with what his future siblings will be named. Is it me, or does it seem a little more fun now to think about future baby names, already having one as a jumping off point? I seem to be more obsessed with names now than ever before.`And I’m so with you on the rules, I’m just starting to figure out what endings work best with my last name, lol. Fun stuff. I can’t right now, but I’ll be back to play by your rules soon.
Good”I’m glad I’m not alone! You have little [name]Dashiell[/name], right? I love his name. It’s definitely helpful having a start point now, although I’ve also had to say goodbye to some favorites ([name]Leo[/name], [name]Lila[/name]) now we have a [name]Luca[/name]! What sib names are you thinking about?
I also have an obsession with sibling names for my daughter who is just 2 months now! I love [name]Annabelle[/name]” but it doesn”t work with our last name. You already have a lot of great choices but here are a few more.
I’m glad you’re sleeping more. ([name]Luca[/name], you’re totally allowed to sleep through the night! Go for it, little guy!)
Of course when I was a kid I wanted to be [name]Cindy[/name].
