I’m newly pregnant and rethinking my list to better suit my DH. I’d love some more options! Here’s the scoop…
In the past we both loved [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] but it doesn’t go with our last name which starts with “Or”. We like [name_f]Margot[/name_f] but it’s not quite a winner. We haven’t found a boy name we agree on.
He likes…
Girls: [name_u]Lake[/name_u], [name_m]Bergen[/name_m], [name_f]Bronwen[/name_f] (No, no and maybe [name_f]Anwen[/name_f] instead of [name_f]Bronwen[/name_f]? [name_f]Anwen[/name_f] doesn’t flow well off the tongue for me but that’s just me.)
Boys: [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] & [name_u]River[/name_u] (Too popular & Not my first choice but okay).
My choices of [name_f]Florence[/name_f], [name_f]Clementine[/name_f], [name_f]Viola[/name_f], [name_m]Archer[/name_m], [name_m]Fletcher[/name_m] & [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] have all been turned down. (I’m going to try [name_m]Fielder[/name_m] and [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] next although they may be too “weird” for him.)
I’d like suggestions not within the top 100 & no names with an implied nn. [name_u]Baby[/name_u] will be called whatever the name is. Thanks!
For girls, your DH seems like to no-frills names with hard consonants and a bit of boldness. He’s also got a water theme going (with [name_u]River[/name_u] on his list for boys). Some ideas that seem to marry his style with your more vintage, feminine tastes:
[name_u]Aspen[/name_u]
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f]
[name_f]Bridget[/name_f]
[name_f]Bryony[/name_f]
[name_f]Delta[/name_f]
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f]
[name_f]Gwen[/name_f]
[name_u]Holland[/name_u]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f]
[name_f]Ingrid[/name_f]
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_f]Megan[/name_f]
[name_f]Rhoswen[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] or [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] (might be shortened to [name_f]Rose[/name_f]/[name_f]Rosie[/name_f], though)
[name_u]Sage[/name_u]
For boys, it seems like you’re not too far apart—[name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] is very similar in style to [name_m]Archer[/name_m] and [name_m]Fletcher[/name_m], though [name_m]Gideon[/name_m]'s a bit of an outlier. More ideas in the [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u]/[name_m]Fletcher[/name_m] and [name_u]River[/name_u] vain, but not as “weird” as [name_m]Fielder[/name_m]:
[name_m]Fisher[/name_m] (OK, similar to [name_m]Fielder[/name_m])
[name_u]Flynn[/name_u]
[name_m]Forrest[/name_m]
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]
[name_m]Maverick[/name_m]
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_m]Tucker[/name_m]
[name_u]Walker[/name_u]
[name_m]Wilder[/name_m]
Thanks!
