Hello everyone!
I would love to hear what people think about the names my husband and I are considering for our surprise gender baby due in [name_u]July[/name_u]/Aug.
Firstly I wanted names that had great meanings, secondly I thought it would be fun to incorporate family names in a non-obvious way…
So my mother’s name is [name_f]Lynne[/name_f], my [name_f]MIL[/name_f]'s name is [name_f]Bridgitte[/name_f] and my FIL’s name is [name_m]Adrian[/name_m].
For a Boy we decided on:
[name_u]Bryn[/name_u] (armour; protection) [name_u]Adley[/name_u] (God is [name_m]Just[/name_m])
For a Girl we decided on:
[name_f]Brynne[/name_f] [name_f]Ada[/name_f] (nobility; adornment)
These names will also mean our first child will have the same initials as my husband, which I think is special. We really like the names, and we hope you do too!
What clever incorporations! [name_u]Bryn[/name_u] [name_u]Adley[/name_u] is fantastic. [name_u]Bryn[/name_u] is strong, versatile and unusual but with familiar sounds. [name_u]Adley[/name_u] isn’t my usual style, but it fits really lovely next to [name_u]Bryn[/name_u]. Fantastic meanings, lovely flow and a great name!
[name_f]Brynne[/name_f] [name_f]Ada[/name_f] is lovely also. [name_f]Brynne[/name_f] is familiar, sweet and slightly vintage. [name_f]Ada[/name_f] adds to the sweet vintage feel, and flows really well. [name_u]Love[/name_u] the meanings here too!
Both combos are adorable and I think it’s really cute that baby’s name will be the same either way, just spelled differently 
Great choice(s)! I know a boy [name_u]Bryn[/name_u] and a girl [name_f]Brynne[/name_f] and the name works well for both of them.
Yay! Thanks for your kind feedback! Really appreciate it! <3

Thank you, yes I found both spellings to be too masculine/feminine to be used interchangeably. I’m glad you approve!
@whitegardenia
Oh really? I have never heard them used before. I’m glad that they won’t be completely unusual, but still uncommon enough that he/she likely won’t have anyone in their class with the same/similar name.
