Overwhelmed with names 😞

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] all, I am expecting and I just can’t find a name I love. Which is crazy because I love names I’ve named so many other people’s children but when it comes to my own I get stuck. I over analyze and am over critical and then I basically fall out of love with names. I have a [name_m]Gavin[/name_m] and a [name_f]Rayna[/name_f]. Some names I thought I loved are [name_f]Vivia[/name_f], [name_f]Annia[/name_f], [name_f]Livia[/name_f] and [name_f]Ofelia[/name_f] I love [name_u]Cleo[/name_u] but our last name is Lugo so it just doesn’t flow I also love [name_f]Amarissa[/name_f] but I think it doesn’t go with my other two kids names please please help with any suggestions or advice.

What about [name_u]Amaris[/name_u] or [name_f]Maris[/name_f]? They’re a little shorter than [name_f]Amarissa[/name_f], so maybe fit better with your other children? Though honestly, I think [name_f]Amarissa[/name_f] fits just fine!

I’m not sure how much time you have until #3 arrives, but is it possible to take a break from names for a bit? I think name nerds can sometimes be overwhelmed by choice and it can help to take a step back from the over-analysis and focus on other things to let some of your past favorites have a chance to breathe.

I’m guessing that since you only mentioned girl names, that you are expecting a girl…? I didn’t know for sure if you wanted us to suggest boy names, too.

[name_f]My[/name_f] first thought was [name_f]Lilia[/name_f]! [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] Lugo sounds so great and I think [name_m]Gavin[/name_m], [name_f]Rayna[/name_f], and [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] make a great sibset. [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] also sounds similar to [name_f]Livia[/name_f] and has the -ia ending you like.

Thank you so much it’s so overwhelming especially since my husband and I had an agreement I could chose a girl and he would chose a boy’s name I feel like it gave me way to much open range :smile:

[name_f]My[/name_f] grandmothers name was [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] I never got to meet her… it is such a pretty name isn’t it :heart:

Your kids names are so pretty! I think [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] would go well with them, or maybe [name_f]Lilia[/name_f], [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f], or [name_f]Julia[/name_f]

I really love [name_f]Livia[/name_f] - it has a bit of star quality with your last name and connects to both you son’s and daughter’s names!

I do too I am not sure of how it flows with the last name but I think you might just have won me over

It really does! I would love that name, truly. It’s stylish, fun, suits all ages (some names are only for 0-5), and offers the gorgeous [name_f]Liv[/name_f] nickname (or [name_f]Livvy[/name_f] when she’s very young). It has the V of [name_m]Gavin[/name_m] and A ending of [name_f]Rayna[/name_f]. It’s a knockout name!
