Our Top 5 + honorable mentions I can’t let go of

Congratulations on baby!!! [name_f][/name_f] With the holidays, every time I get ready to respond to one of your threads you’ve posted a new one. [name_f][/name_f] :joy::joy:[name_f][/name_f]. [name_f]So[/name_f] happy you’ve settled on [name_m]Samson[/name_m] for a boy, I love it for you so much! [name_f][/name_f] And these names are so lovely for a daughter as well.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Estelle[/name_f] [name_f]Sunday[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- I am not generally the biggest fan of [name_f]Estelle[/name_f], but I love this. [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] is so lovely with your boys, but [name_f]Sunday[/name_f] makes it even more fun! [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Essie[/name_f] [name_f]Sue[/name_f] or [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] [name_f]Sue[/name_f] is really sweet—I think either work (or [name_f]Estie[/name_f] Sue!). [name_f][/name_f] I’m partial to [name_f]Esti[/name_f] so that would be my favorite, but [name_f]Essie[/name_f] [name_f]Sue[/name_f] has come to feel so “you”! [name_f][/name_f] I also think you could finagle the nn [name_f]Etta[/name_f] out of [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] if you really wanted to—I know she was high on your radar a while back!

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f]Annemarie[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] is so strong and feminine, I love that she reminds me of Inn of the Sixth [name_f]Happiness[/name_f][name_f][/name_f] and [name_f]Gladys[/name_f] Aylward (one of my personal heroes!) via [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] Bergman. [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] feels sleek, but [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f]Annemarie[/name_f] feels dainty and beautiful—she is my preference. [name_f][/name_f] I think [name_f]Inga[/name_f] and [name_f]Indie[/name_f] are adorable nns for her too!

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Fern[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- sorry, the only one that doesn’t do much for me—it doesn’t feel that namey to me, and the one I knew didn’t inspire any additional love. [name_f][/name_f] I do think it goes well with your boys, but it’s a lot of R with your surname, too, especially since she’s so short!

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- Nameberry needs a swoon emoji :sob::sob:[name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f], for me, is one of the most showstopping names in the world, delicate and intricate and strong, a million different nn options, timeless but storybook, she’s not my favorite from this list for YOU, but she is my favorite on this list! [name_f][/name_f] I also think she’d be gorgeous as a middle (Ingrid [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]? [name_f]Fern[/name_f] [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]? [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Agatha[/name_f] Guinevere?) if you don’t use her up front! [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] is also lovely, but I don’t want to split up [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] [name_f]Sunday[/name_f] :joy::joy:

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Agatha[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- lovely, vintage name, and perfect with your boys! [name_f][/name_f] Sounds like you have higher favorites though, so I would let them steal your heart even more. [name_f][/name_f] :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] sounds best with your surname for me, but [name_f]Essie[/name_f] Storer is the absolute cutest!
