I’m desperate people! We are due with our third baby, this one being our first girl, and I have not a single name to take with me to the hospital. I have two little boys, [name_u]Logan[/name_u] and [name_m]Bennett[/name_m]. Criteria as follows:
[name_m]Don[/name_m]'t want anything in the top 50 baby name lists, nothing too popular
Nothing too crazy or unusual * [name_m]Both[/name_m]
Last name starts with S, middle name might end up being [name_f]Bethan[/name_f] (or [name_f]Bethann[/name_f] or [name_f]Bethanne[/name_f])
Some names I like but husband isn’t crazy about:
[name_f]Hattie[/name_f]
[name_u]Camryn[/name_u]
[name_f]Bridget[/name_f]
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f]
Hollyn
[name_f]Maren[/name_f]
[name_f]Addie[/name_f]
A few on his list that I don’t necessarily care for:
[name_u]Presley[/name_u]
[name_u]Reagan[/name_u]
[name_f]Kaydence[/name_f]
[name_f]Melody[/name_f]
[name_u]Skyler[/name_u]
[name_f]McKenna[/name_f]
We need a name that can somehow bring our names together! We would love your suggestions pretty please?! Thank you!
Off the bat, I’d take [name_u]Camryn[/name_u] and [name_f]Addie[/name_f] off your list: [name_u]Cameron[/name_u] is unisex name; and [name_f]Addie[/name_f] is becoming ridiculously popular ([name_u]Addison[/name_u], [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f], [name_f]Adeline[/name_f], etc.)
Here are some suggestions:
[name_u]Logan[/name_u], [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] and …
[name_u]Everly[/name_u] S
[name_f]Caitlin[/name_f] S
[name_f]Cadence[/name_f] S (is this spelling any better for you?)
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f] S
[name_u]Piper[/name_u] S
[name_f]Megan[/name_f] S
[name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] S ([name_f]Maddie[/name_f] is similar in sound to [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] and [name_f]Addie[/name_f])
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f] S
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] S
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f] S
[name_f]Laura[/name_f] S
Best of luck!
Funny that you say you don’t care for names that are for both a boy and a girl… I would consider [name_u]Camryn[/name_u], [name_u]Reagan[/name_u], [name_u]Presley[/name_u] and [name_u]Skyler[/name_u] to all be unisex names.
My favourite combos would be:
[name_f]Melody[/name_f] [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] or [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] [name_f]Maren[/name_f]
I also like [name_f]Addie[/name_f] (nn for [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] or [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]?) and [name_f]Mabel[/name_f].
I’m personally not a big fan of your husband’s favorite names. From your list, I like: [name_f]Hattie[/name_f], [name_f]Bridget[/name_f], [name_f]Mabel[/name_f], and [name_f]Maren[/name_f] (I prefer [name_f]Marin[/name_f]).
Some other suggestions:
[name_f]Stella[/name_f]
[name_u]Darcy[/name_u]
[name_u]Avery[/name_u]
[name_u]Emerson[/name_u]
[name_u]Addison[/name_u] (nn [name_f]Addie[/name_f])
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f]
[name_u]Ainsley[/name_u]
[name_f]Bronwen[/name_f]
[name_u]Delaney[/name_u]
Oh I agree. Like your list, definitely not your husband’s
Here are some suggestions that I like. We seem to have a similar style.
[name_f]Sadie[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] (common for middle but not first)
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Della[/name_f] (maybe too uncommon for you)
[name_f]Claire[/name_f]
[name_f]Gisele[/name_f]
[name_f]Mara[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]
[name_f]Maisie[/name_f]
With [name_f]Bethanne[/name_f] (though I’m not a big fan of that name!), my favourite is [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]. [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_f]Bethanne[/name_f] S.
[name_u]Logan[/name_u], [name_m]Bennett[/name_m], and [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
Anyways, hope something on this list or in the rest of the comments inspires you. Make sure to post and let us know what you pick!
[name_m]Hi[/name_m]!
Thank you so much for your comments!!
@[name_u]Jem[/name_u]
As for [name_u]Camryn[/name_u] and [name_f]Addie[/name_f], you’re probably right. I’ve always really liked the spelling of [name_u]Camryn[/name_u] and [name_f]Addie[/name_f] is on the way up into the popularity charts with names such as [name_u]Addison[/name_u], [name_f]Adele[/name_f], [name_f]Adeline[/name_f], etc. I’ll make sure to share your list with my husband, thanks!
@grackym
You’re right. They are unisex names. Good point. So maybe we’re not completely opposed to unisex names…I just don’t like my husband’s unisex names. Ha! Thanks for your suggestions!
@collmcc523
I’m not a fan of his list either, thanks for agreeing! [name_f]Do[/name_f] you think [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] is a name that will grow with her into adulthood? I’m worried about it sounding too cutesy but am not a fan of [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] or [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] for a first name with [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] being the nn. I like your list as well, thanks!
@katieelle
You had a few in your list that caught my eye. Need to read them off to my husband. I’m also not sold on the middle name…however, it’s a combination of our mothers’ middles names, [name_f]Beth[/name_f] and [name_f]Ann[/name_f]. Trying to make it work.
Thank you so much! Maybe I’ll get some more replies and I will continue to brainstorm! I’ll let you know when we decide!
I’m with you on your husband’s list, most of those names are really nms. Looking at your choices and your boys names, do you prefer more traditional & modern names for boys, but more different for girls? I find that’s always the case for me
A few suggestions…
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] - I thought of this as soon as I saw your list
[name_u]Arden[/name_u]

[name_f]Isla[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
[name_f]Brynn[/name_f]
What about [name_u]Hadley[/name_u]? It has the same sound as [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] for you & is a unisex name, as that seems to be your husband’s preference.
Aah exciting times!!
My favourites from the lists are:
[name_f]Hattie[/name_f]
[name_f]Bridget[/name_f]
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Maren[/name_f]
I like [name_f]Addie[/name_f] as a nickname for [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] or [name_f]Adeline[/name_f].
[name_f]Melody[/name_f]

[name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] ‘[name_u]Logan[/name_u], [name_m]Bennett[/name_m], and [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f]’

[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]? [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_f]Bethan[/name_f] is pretty, imo!
[name_f]Clover[/name_f] [name_f]Bethan[/name_f] is cute, too…
[name_f]Amabel[/name_f]? Kind of modernizes [name_f]Mable[/name_f] a bit…
[name_f]Ailish[/name_f] [name_f]Bethan[/name_f] - very pretty!
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_f]Bethan[/name_f]

[name_u]Winslow[/name_u] [name_f]Bethan[/name_f] - nn [name_f]Winnie[/name_f]
[name_u]Marlow[/name_u] [name_f]Bethan[/name_f]
[name_m]Crosby[/name_m] [name_f]Bethan[/name_f] - I sort of like [name_m]Crosby[/name_m] for a girl!
[name_m]Kelby[/name_m] [name_f]Bethan[/name_f]
[name_u]Darby[/name_u] [name_f]Bethan[/name_f]
@jelery
As for boys names…we picked [name_u]Logan[/name_u] because we loved the sound of it, super easy for us to decide together on a name. Super popular and we wish we had picked something a little different. We knew second time around we wanted nothing in the top 50 to make his name a little unique. We both agreed rather quickly on [name_m]Bennett[/name_m]. As for wanting a more modern name for a girl…yea, I guess we are. Not as much into traditional girls names but nothing outlandish. Make any kind of sense?! I like your list by the way and so does my husband. Maybe we’ll have a winner from it. Thanks!
@poeticxtac
I actually like the name [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] but our neighbor right across the street just had a baby two months ago and I think it would be odd if we named our baby the same name. Super cute and a great suggestion though.
@tori101
Thanks for liking my top girls names. I like your list as well. My husband seems to like a few as well though we haven’t sat down to discuss which ones yet as he read this list after I went to bed. Thank you!!
@mousehouse7
I like the name [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]…though we already have one redhead. We very well may have another redhead…wouldn’t that be a little much for a little redhead to be called [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]? Your opinion? Husband also saw your list but we have yet to discuss…but thanks for your name list!
Neither of you have especially girly or frilly names on your list. Let me see if I can come up with some names that are female, but sound like they could lean toward unisex or just aren’t especially girly.
I love [name_f]Annalie[/name_f]! It’s on my list, but hubby doesn’t love it. You could do [name_f]Annalie[/name_f] [name_f]Beth[/name_f] and honor both grandmas, though!
I love
