I’m TTC. I have OCD and have a difficult time settling on names, I have to consider them for awhile. Here are my top contenders for boys and girls. I’m hoping for name suggestions to add to the list based on my choices.
as a general rule I don’t like old people names, top 100 or “classic” names. (with a few exceptions)
Name would have to flow with my almost 3 year old [name]Geneva[/name] [name]Simone[/name].
last name begins with “R” and r names don’t sound good with it
Boys:
Merrick
[name]Lennox[/name]
[name]Archer[/name]
[name]Bechette[/name]
[name]Corbin[/name]
[name]Micah[/name]
[name]Rafferty[/name] (my #1, can’t use with my last name)
Vaugh
[name]Arden[/name] (gone to the girls)
[name]Devlin[/name]
Girls:
[name]Cordelia[/name]
[name]Maren[/name]
Aderyn
[name]Evaline[/name]
[name]Cassandra[/name] (too popular)
[name]Indira[/name] (Sound too close to [name]Geneva[/name] and [name]India[/name]?0)
Evea
[name]Arden[/name]
[name]Adeline[/name] (too popular)
[name]Karis[/name]
[name]Aria[/name] (gaining in popularity)
Boys:
Merrick - Not a fan; I prefer [name]Maverick[/name]
[name]Lennox[/name] - Not my style; but I can see a boy pulling this off.
[name]Archer[/name] - I like it, but I don’t think it goes well with [name]Geneva[/name].
[name]Bechette[/name] - This looks like a girl’s name to me.
[name]Corbin[/name] - I don’t like the sound of this.
[name]Micah[/name] - I much prefer [name]Michael[/name].
[name]Rafferty[/name] - I don’t think this would flow well with [name]Geneva[/name]. Maybe [name]Reid[/name] or [name]Reed[/name]? I like the sound of [name]Geneva[/name] and [name]Reed[/name].
Vaugh - My favorite of your list. I think it has a similar style to [name]Geneva[/name].
[name]Arden[/name] - [name]Don[/name]'t like this, boy or girl.
[name]Devlin[/name] - All I see is ‘devil’, sorry.
Girls:
[name]Cordelia[/name] - I never liked this name, but it fits with [name]Geneva[/name].
[name]Maren[/name] - I like [name]Mary[/name] or [name]Mariam[/name] better.
Aderyn - Not sure how to pronounce this; I like [name]Ada[/name] or [name]Adele[/name] though.
[name]Evaline[/name] - [name]Eva[/name]-line? [name]Eva[/name]-leen? [name]Eva[/name]-lyn? I’m never sure on -line names. But all the pronunciations are decent; however, I don’t think it flows well with your daughter’s name.
[name]Cassandra[/name] - [name]Don[/name]'t like this. [name]How[/name] about [name]Cassia[/name] or [name]Cassiopeia[/name]?
[name]Indira[/name] - Not a fan, I think [name]Geneva[/name] and [name]India[/name] make a better pair.
Evea - Not sure how you pronounce this one either. It has a cool spelling though! I don’t think it flows with [name]Geneva[/name] though.
[name]Arden[/name] - See previous [name]Arden[/name].
[name]Adeline[/name] - Cute, but I think [name]Adelaide[/name] fits better with [name]Geneva[/name].
[name]Karis[/name] - Cute! My friend is named this, and she’s the sweetest thing! My favorite from your list.
[name]Aria[/name] - Never liked this name, and I don’t think it flows with [name]Geneva[/name].

[name]Bechette[/name] -sounds made up
[name]Corbin[/name] -dislike
[name]Micah[/name] -really like this one

Vaugh -sounds made up
[name]Arden[/name] -Never heard it on a girl or boy. Dislike
