[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone. I’m not pregnant or TTC right now, but we’re planning on starting TTC in about 6 months to a year, and our list really needs some work. I would love it if you could suggest some names we might like, or some combos based on what we’ve already agreed on. Boys names seem to be much easier for us!
First names:
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]/[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] nn [name_f]Bea[/name_f] (he prefers the x ending, but I prefer the ce ending)
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Emma[/name_f]
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f]
[name_f]Hermione[/name_f] nn [name_f]Mia[/name_f]/[name_f]Mimi[/name_f]
[name_f]Isobel[/name_f]/[name_f]Isabel[/name_f] nn [name_u]Issy[/name_u]/[name_f]Bel[/name_f] (I prefer o, he prefers a)
Middle names (mostly family names):
[name_f]Ellen[/name_f]
[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]
[name_f]Anna[/name_f]
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f]/[name_f]Pearl[/name_f] (Wouldn’t use both)
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] (need to run this by SO)
[name_f]Katherine[/name_f] (as above)
[name_f]Samantha[/name_f] (")
I think we’re planning on two middle names, since that’s what we have for the boys, but one middle suggestions are also welcomed.
Thanks in advance wonderful Berries.
Thank you opheliaflora. I like [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Florence[/name_f], [name_f]Juliet[/name_f], [name_f]Celeste[/name_f], [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], [name_f]Margot[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f], [name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Ella[/name_f], and [name_f]Isla[/name_f] from the names you suggested.
From your combos I like [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Samantha[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], and [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Ellen[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f].
Need to run these by SO now, and hope some of them stay!
Thanks judyariel. I like [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Samantha[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f], and [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]. I also like [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f], [name_f]Iris[/name_f], [name_u]June[/name_u], and [name_f]Arabelle[/name_f].
[name_f]Isabel[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f]! I have decided that if I can’t get away with my current [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] combo, I would choose [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] as an easy back-up. She’s gorgeous. [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] is nice, but I also love [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. Or even [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f]/[name_f]Isabel[/name_f] [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]?
My second favorite is [name_f]Zoe[/name_f]–[name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] or [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] are lovely (or [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]/[name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]?).
I love [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], but only as a middle. [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] or [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]/[name_f]Isabel[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] could be lovely.
Hmm…
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]/[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] -I love both! [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] feels more vibrant, more alive. She’s spunkier and has a quirkier attitude. Whereas [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] is more elegant, defined, classy. She’s far more regal. I think I prefer [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] simply because I love that wintry crisp elegance that she possess.
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] - A lovely wholesome name with awesome mythological association, I love the fact that she is associated with the moon which gives her this bewitching stance. [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] has grown on me so much, I honesty find her such an amazing choice.
[name_f]Emma[/name_f] - Despite seeming that everyone thinks she is so popular in my eyes she’s died down in popularity and is just lovely. [name_f]Emma[/name_f] has a lovely sound feels very sweet and comes with the adorable [name_f]Emmy[/name_f] nickname.
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f] - Another spunky choice. She isn’t my favourite on the list but she still is rather pretty has a cool vibrant sound and seems to pack a punch.
[name_f]Hermione[/name_f] - [name_m]Ah[/name_m] lush! [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] feels so elegant and bewitching she’s a great choice. I love the [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] associations it just makes her feel so lush and creates this intriguing story book feel. She’s great. I love the nicknames [name_f]Mimi[/name_f] and [name_f]Mia[/name_f] it’s so pretty.
[name_f]Isobel[/name_f]/[name_f]Isabel[/name_f] - They are both lovely names! [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] is a cute choice she feels rural and intriguing. [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] is the Scottish variant of [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] and I think this portrays a very different image to [name_f]Isabel[/name_f]. [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] conjures up images a unruly landscape, a pebbled beach, and a strong tide lapping up the beach. I can imagine [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] being somebody who plays on that unruly landscape. Whereas [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] conjures up a totally different image she’s feels very Spanish/South American it’s exotic and has a gorgeous sunny attitude. I can imagine her outside at a large family gathering absorbing the heat at the end of the day wearing summer clothes with dark curly hair flowing behind her as she runs around. They’re different images. I prefer [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] but [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] feels more unusual.
Middle names…
[name_f]Ellen[/name_f] - [name_f]Lovely[/name_f] feels very Downton [name_u]Abbey[/name_u] and I like that feel. She’s cool. I think she’d work nicely with [name_f]Hermione[/name_f].
[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] - A lovely vintage choice which is slowly being revived. She sounds adorable and fresh. I like the idea of teaming her with something vibrant which could continue the vibrant vintage style. [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] sounds epic.
[name_f]Anna[/name_f] - I hate [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] which feels so closely related to the delightful [name_f]Anna[/name_f]. She oozes simplicity, has a gorgeous elegance and feels very simple. [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Anna[/name_f] would be great.
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] - A strong classic. She has regal presence and would work well with a name that has a touch of innocence. I think [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] would be a lovely choice it’s just a cool combination of two different naming styles coming together with ease.
[name_f]Pearl[/name_f] - I prefer [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] to [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] I think she sounds prettier and looks visually more attractive. [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] is a lovely choice and has brilliant associations. I think [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] would work nicely with [name_f]Isobel[/name_f], continuing with the imagery I described earlier.
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] - My middle name as well as my mothers. I think she’s great. Has awesome literacy associations, feels regal, has a lovely soft wholesome and feels classy. I love the combination [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] just oozes simplicity.
[name_f]Katherine[/name_f] - Another elegant classic. She has a similar vibe to [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] in the fact that she feels very strong and regal. But visually she feels prettier and sounds prettier too. [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] feels elegant and endearing. I would like to team her with [name_f]Zoe[/name_f]. [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] has a nice syllable balance.
[name_f]Samantha[/name_f] - This name has grown on me a lot I like her crispness she feels like a perfect wintry choice. She just oozes that sound and yet at the same time she feels fiery and strong. I love her as an unusual middle name slot especially teamed with [name_f]Isabel[/name_f].
I second [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] [name_f]Margret[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] & [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Samantha[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
