Please Help Name Our Daughter!

Girl Names
1

I need help naming our potential daughter. We find out what we are having on the 25th, and I would like to have at least a few names picked out by then.

Middle name will be [name_f]Autumn[/name_f], or [name_f]Faye[/name_f] if we love a name that doesn’t flow with [name_f]Autumn[/name_f].

My SO hates everything and the only name he has suggested was [name_f]Patricia[/name_f] and [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], both family names, that I’m not wanting to use. [name_f]Patricia[/name_f] is too dated for me and [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] is too common.

My list that he doesn’t like anything from:

[name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Autumn[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecily[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f]
[name_u]Sloane[/name_u] [name_f]Autumn[/name_f]

Are [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] and [name_f]Faye[/name_f] names both just like as middles or do they mean something? Names after anyone?

[name_f]Gillian[/name_f]
[name_f]Mallory[/name_f]

[name_f]Leonie[/name_f]
[name_f]Augusta[/name_f]
[name_f]Coralie[/name_f]
[name_f]Marcia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lenore[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u]
[name_f]Sidonie[/name_f]

[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]

Oh dear, [name_f]Patricia[/name_f] and [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] are very different styles to your names and each other. [name_f]Aveline[/name_f] is similarish to [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] and [name_f]Aveline[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f] is pretty. [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] is also kind of similar to [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] is lovely. [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_f]Autumn[/name_f]/[name_f]Faye[/name_f] feels nice to me and is similar to [name_f]Cecily[/name_f] (in my mind)

What about [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f] as a name?

I’d see whether there are any Ev-, -lyn or -cia names that you like, and take them to him as somewhat of a compromise and see if that brings about any shared interest. Chances are though, he likes the family names due to their association with the family members too, rather than the names themselves, which makes things trickier…

As you like [name_f]Cecily[/name_f], and he [name_f]Patricia[/name_f], [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] might be a goer? [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f]? [name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_f]Autumn[/name_f]?

Of the combos you have listed, [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] & [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f] are both lovely options.

6

Would he like [name_f]Adeline[/name_f]?

7

[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] would be adorable!

8

What about [name_f]Clara[/name_f]? You like [name_f]Claire[/name_f], but he likes more classic traditional type names. [name_f]Clara[/name_f] might be a great fit.

Or, maybe consider [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] as a first name? I know an [name_f]Autumn[/name_f], and I think it totally works.

[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] – Similar to [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], but is quite a bit less common. It also has an element of [name_f]Amelia[/name_f].

[name_f]Paige[/name_f] – Similar to [name_u]Sloane[/name_u], and pulls a bit from [name_f]Patricia[/name_f].

[name_f]Eliza[/name_f] – A perfect mix of classic and modern.

Here are a few more ideas… I tried to pull names that lean classic, but are feminine or quirky. [name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps :slight_smile:

[name_f]Lillian[/name_f]

What about a name with the same meaning as the honor names he likes, but that are more your style?

[name_f]Patricia[/name_f] means “noble,” and there are a million names out there with similar meanings that seem to fit your style a little better – [name_f]Ada[/name_f], [name_f]Adalia[/name_f]/[name_f]Adelia[/name_f]/[name_f]Adelie[/name_f], Adalind, [name_f]Adalyn[/name_f], [name_f]Adela[/name_f]/[name_f]Adele[/name_f], [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f], [name_f]Adelina[/name_f]/[name_f]Adeline[/name_f], [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Alicia[/name_f], [name_f]Alina[/name_f], [name_f]Alison[/name_f], [name_f]Alma[/name_f], [name_f]Alyssa[/name_f], [name_u]Arya[/name_u], [name_f]Audra[/name_f]/[name_f]Audrey[/name_f]/[name_f]Audrina[/name_f], [name_f]Breanna[/name_f], [name_f]Camilla[/name_f], [name_f]Della[/name_f], [name_f]Edlyn[/name_f], [name_f]Freya[/name_f], [name_f]Mona[/name_f], [name_f]Ruth[/name_f], [name_f]Talisa[/name_f]

[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] means “wished for child” – Marlise, [name_f]Miriam[/name_f], [name_f]Dora[/name_f], [name_f]Thea[/name_f], [name_f]Theodora[/name_f],

Perhaps he’d also be happy with honoring [name_f]Patricia[/name_f] and/or [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] with similar sounds…

Taking the “tri” or the “cia” from [name_f]Patricia[/name_f] – [name_f]Catriona[/name_f], [name_f]Katrina[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], [name_f]Lucia[/name_f]
Taking the “[name_f]Eve[/name_f]” or the “lyn” from [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] – [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], [name_u]Everly[/name_u], [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f], [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f], [name_f]Roslyn[/name_f]

Best of luck to you!

[name_f]Autumn[/name_f] is my best friend’s middle name and my favorite season. [name_f]Faye[/name_f] is a family name.

11

I love [name_f]Bethany[/name_f], [name_f]Coralie[/name_f], [name_u]Vivian[/name_u], and [name_f]Naomi[/name_f]. He doesn’t like anything. ugh

12

He is gathering his family tree to see if there are any other names that we could use. Family names and lineage are very important to him. If he had his way he would only use Scandinavian names.

I like [name_f]Aveline[/name_f], but have a close cousin named [name_f]Ava[/name_f]. We have kicked around using [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] as a first but it doesn’t grab him at all. He’s not a fan of anything on the list. I swear he likes almost nothing.

13

He doesn’t like it, but I do!

14

He doesn’t mind [name_f]Clara[/name_f] but he says that it doesn’t “grab” him.

I love [name_f]Lillian[/name_f], but he can only think of Rugrats. [name_f]Sienna[/name_f], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f], [name_f]Audrey[/name_f], [name_f]Lila[/name_f] and [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]. He doesn’t. double ugh

15

Ladies!! He officially put a name on the “maybe” list!!

[name_u]Whitney[/name_u] [name_f]Autumn[/name_f]!

We do have a boys name picked out as well for further name suggestions which is [name_u]Owen[/name_u] [name_m]Charles[/name_m].

16

I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] the name [name_u]Whitney[/name_u]!

17

I love Autumn Faye.

Is he wanting Scandinavian name suggestions?

18

I like [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] and [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f].

19

[name_u]Whitney[/name_u] [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] is pretty and refreshing.

20

He actually would prefer something from that decent since it’s part of his heritage.
