Wdyt of this name in general? With my other kids?
It has been growing on me lately and so has [name_u]Story[/name_u]. Are these too wordy next to sister [name_f]Iris[/name_f]?
What mns would pair with both [name_f]Poet[/name_f] and [name_u]Story[/name_u]?
Thanks!
[name_f]Poet[/name_f] and [name_f]Iris[/name_f], [name_u]Kai[/name_u] and [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] are delightful together, and doesnt strike me as too wordy at all. [name_u]Story[/name_u] is very nice too, but i don’t think it is as beautiful as [name_f]Poet[/name_f], and doesn’t flow as well with siblings.
I’ll try and think of classic, timeless middles like her sisters have:
[name_f]Poet[/name_f] [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
[name_f]Poet[/name_f] [name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_f]Poet[/name_f] [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]
[name_f]Poet[/name_f] Lilliane
[name_f]Poet[/name_f] [name_f]Heather[/name_f]
[name_f]Poet[/name_f] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f]
[name_f]Poet[/name_f] [name_f]Marabelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Poet[/name_f] [name_f]Miranda[/name_f]
Or, if you wanted to stick with the vowels for first names, you could have [name_f]Poet[/name_f] in the middle, and have a first beginning with “O” or “U”…
[name_f]Oriana[/name_f] [name_f]Poet[/name_f]
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] [name_f]Poet[/name_f]
[name_f]Odessa[/name_f] [name_f]Poet[/name_f]
[name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Poet[/name_f]
[name_f]Ondine[/name_f] [name_f]Poet[/name_f]
[name_f]Ursula[/name_f] [name_f]Poet[/name_f]
[name_f]Udele[/name_f] [name_f]Poet[/name_f]
[name_f]Uma[/name_f] [name_f]Poet[/name_f]
[name_f]Ulalia[/name_f] [name_f]Poet[/name_f]
[name_f]Ulana[/name_f] [name_f]Poet[/name_f]
I have [name_u]Story[/name_u] [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] and [name_f]Poet[/name_f] [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] on my list. [name_f]Poet[/name_f], [name_u]Story[/name_u], and [name_u]Fable[/name_u] have very special meaning to my extended family and are names that give me so many memories, especially of my grandma. Anneleise for my late sister, Elizabeth Ann. I think all 3 are beautiful names.
I think [name_u]Kai[/name_u], [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], [name_f]Iris[/name_f], and [name_f]Poet[/name_f] or [name_u]Kai[/name_u], [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], [name_f]Iris[/name_f], and [name_u]Story[/name_u] sound perfectly fine together.
I think that [name_u]Kai[/name_u], [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], [name_f]Iris[/name_f], and [name_f]Poet[/name_f]/[name_u]Story[/name_u] go beautifully together.
[name_f]Poet[/name_f] [name_f]Sabrina[/name_f]
[name_f]Poet[/name_f] [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f]
[name_f]Poet[/name_f] [name_f]Nancy[/name_f]
[name_f]Poet[/name_f] [name_f]Georgina[/name_f]
[name_f]Poet[/name_f] [name_f]Isabella[/name_f]
[name_f]Poet[/name_f] [name_f]Katarina[/name_f]
[name_f]Poet[/name_f] [name_f]Sarah[/name_f]
[name_f]Poet[/name_f] [name_f]Cecily[/name_f]
[name_f]Poet[/name_f] [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]
[name_u]Story[/name_u] [name_f]Annabella[/name_f]
[name_u]Story[/name_u] [name_f]Graciela[/name_f]
[name_u]Story[/name_u] [name_f]Willa[/name_f]
[name_u]Story[/name_u] [name_f]Fiammetta[/name_f]
[name_u]Story[/name_u] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]
[name_u]Story[/name_u] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]
[name_u]Story[/name_u] [name_f]Katrina[/name_f]
[name_u]Story[/name_u] [name_f]Marcella[/name_f]
[name_u]Story[/name_u] [name_f]Lucinda[/name_f]
[name_u]Story[/name_u] [name_f]Louella[/name_f]
I really love word names. But I think [name_u]Story[/name_u] and [name_f]Poet[/name_f] fall into GP names for me. I would admire someone who used them, though. They are so lovely! If you’re going to use one of them I think they need very solid mainstream middles. If you name your daughter [name_f]Poet[/name_f] [name_f]Sundance[/name_f] and she wants to use a more common name on a resume… she’s stuck. But if you choose something like [name_f]Poet[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] she can always use P. [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] so I like:
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f]/[name_f]Katherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f]
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
I don’t think they really fit in. Poet is very much a word name to me, and a rather hard (sounding) one too, Story is something you tell your kids at night so they fall asleep (yes Story I can tell you a story).
Iris and Evelyn (and Kai) are very pretty and light names (due to the “light” vowels).
I just feel like a word name seems misplaced in a sibset of such classic and vintage names.
I love [name_f]Poet[/name_f]!! And they fit nicely with your children’s names…

Cheers 
[name_f]Poet[/name_f] is my top girl name too We already have a [name_u]Scout[/name_u], which gets tons of compliments from college aged friends, but not much love from older family members. I think the same will likely happen for [name_f]Poet[/name_f] (if we use it), so be prepared to ignore a few people.
I like [name_u]Story[/name_u] much better than [name_f]Poet[/name_f]. I just don’t get all the buzz about [name_f]Poet[/name_f]. To me, (and I do love words) it’s just a characteristic of a person, like writer, director, photographer, athlete, mother. I mean, what if your child hates poetry? Then what? I just think it’s too pretentious and doesn’t sound that pretty to me. I am inclined to lean towards [name_u]Story[/name_u]. I think [name_f]Poet[/name_f] would make a much better middle name.
Sorry, I had been holding that in since seeing [name_f]Poet[/name_f] more frequently around NB. I really just don’t get the infatuation. But, I suppose if you really find it makes you happy and you think it will do the same for your daughter, then go for it. I agree that a more average middle name will do the trick.

I actually love [name_f]Poet[/name_f] with that combo.
I would pair it with a more classic or timeless mn such as
[name_f]Poet[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Poet[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Poet[/name_f] [name_f]Miranda[/name_f]
Your daughter might not like [name_f]Lilies[/name_f], Roses, Violets, they might have a personality that does not match the meaning of their name. [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] might not like [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] but in our case [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] would be named to honor my late grandma with a [name_u]December[/name_u] birthday. [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] might not be a princess, that is okay, we love the name. There are many Lilys, Roses, and Violets out there. A good many could have allergies. Maybe their parents loved the name, maybe they were named to honor someone, maybe the name has special meaning. The child/adult does not need to love the certain flower they are named after.
Our personal reason for loving [name_f]Poet[/name_f] (and [name_u]Story[/name_u] and [name_u]Fable[/name_u]) is about our family and extended family.
[name_f]Poet[/name_f] is so beautiful, flows well with the other siblings.
