So my husband and I are planning to start a family in about a year. We have multiple boy names picked out that we love. Our problem is with girl names. We have totally different styles.
I love: [name_u]Hunter[/name_u], [name_m]Maddox[/name_m], [name_m]Anderson[/name_m] (nickname [name_f]Andi[/name_f]), and [name_u]Luca[/name_u] for a girl (maybe [name_u]Spencer[/name_u])
My husband likes: [name_u]Marley[/name_u] and [name_u]Waverly[/name_u]
I don’t dislike [name_u]Marley[/name_u] I just have a hard time seeing it on a 30 y/o. [name_u]Waverly[/name_u] I like I just don’t love.
Names we both like but don’t love: [name_u]Shiloh[/name_u] and [name_f]Anniston[/name_f].
Obviously we both lean towards last names/surnames. I feel like I’ve read every post out there to try to get some ideas and I’ve come up empty. I’d appreciate any suggestions!
[name_u]Oakley[/name_u]
[name_u]Blake[/name_u]
[name_u]Bellamy[/name_u]
[name_m]Cavanaugh[/name_m]
[name_u]Ellery[/name_u]…I really like this for you! It has a boyish sound like [name_u]Elliott[/name_u], but ends in a sound that your husband should like.
[name_u]Emerson[/name_u]
[name_m]Collin[/name_m]/[name_u]Collins[/name_u]
[name_m]Madden[/name_m]
[name_u]Chandler[/name_u]
[name_u]Parker[/name_u]
[name_u]Carson[/name_u]
[name_u]Delaney[/name_u]
[name_u]Sawyer[/name_u]
[name_u]Everly[/name_u]
[name_u]Alexi[/name_u]
[name_u]Harley[/name_u] or [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] (similar to [name_u]Marley[/name_u], but a bit different)
I personally really like [name_u]Hadley[/name_u], [name_f]Harlow[/name_f], and [name_u]Harper[/name_u]. I think [name_u]Harper[/name_u] fits in well, especially with the boys’ names you have chosen.
Hello! I see you really like unisex names. From your list my favourites are [name_u]Hunter[/name_u] and [name_u]Luca[/name_u]. I think that maybe you would like:
[name_u]Campbell[/name_u]
[name_u]Connelly[/name_u]
[name_u]Lennox[/name_u] - I really like this one, I think it is a great name for a girl. I think the final x is awesome!
[name_u]Ellison[/name_u] - Maybe is too close to [name_u]Allison[/name_u], but you I think that [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] is a great nickanme
[name_u]Indiana[/name_u] - I love this name for a girl because is both sweet and strong. I also like [name_f]India[/name_f] as a nickname.
[name_f]Winslet[/name_f] or [name_u]Winslow[/name_u] - She can go by [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] which I think it´s lovely.
[name_u]Brinsley[/name_u] - I think is similar to [name_u]Waverly[/name_u]
I love both [name_u]Marley[/name_u] and [name_u]Shiloh[/name_u] on your list! And it looks like you’ve got lots of good suggestions. My first thought for you was [name_u]Willoughby[/name_u]. Or maybe:
[name_u]Brighton[/name_u]
[name_u]Emerson[/name_u]
[name_u]Lennon[/name_u]
[name_u]Phoenix[/name_u]
[name_u]Sailor[/name_u]
[name_u]Skylar[/name_u]
[name_u]Sloane[/name_u]
Oh man — you are in the same boat as were. We literally considered thousands of names (I made a spreadsheet) and managed to finally agree on a 7 name list to take to the hospital. All names we both liked but didn’t both love. (1/2 he loved; 1/2 I did). It took us 48hrs to name our daughter after she was born. If we have a second girl this is going to be impossible.
Looks like you guys need a slightly feminine unisex name - a little whimsical but not too much so…
I’d consider a unisex “nature” name maybe - something like [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], [name_u]Robin[/name_u], [name_u]August[/name_u], [name_u]Ellery[/name_u], [name_u]Perry[/name_u]…
Thank you for all the suggestions. I love [name_u]Oakley[/name_u], [name_u]Blakely[/name_u], and [name_f]Winslet[/name_f]. Unfortunately a close friend has the last name [name_f]Winslet[/name_f] and hubs grew up with a girl named [name_u]Blakely[/name_u] (no bad association, they were just good friends). He doesn’t like [name_u]Oakley[/name_u].
I’m intrigued by the suggestions of [name_m]Madden[/name_m], [name_u]Delaney[/name_u] (love the [name_m]Jimmy[/name_m] Buffet association), [name_u]Raleigh[/name_u], [name_u]Lennox[/name_u], and [name_u]Winslow[/name_u]. [name_u]Sloane[/name_u] I have a love/hate relationship with - I don’t know why.
I had a love affair with [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] once.[name_f] May[/name_f] have to revisit that one! [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u] to honor her grandmother(s)?
The spellings [name_f]Marli[/name_f], [name_f]Marlee[/name_f], or [name_f]Marlie[/name_f] could work. [name_f]Marlee[/name_f] Matlin is in her early fifties, and the name seems to fit her.
