Quirky name for number six?

General Name Discussion
1

So my husband [name]Ralph[/name] and I have yet another child on the way ( :shock: ) We weren’t exactly planning to have another baby–my lovely birth control decided on fail on us–but we are completely overjoyed and excited for our new addition.

The thing we aren’t excited about is naming the baby. I’m a perfectionist when it comes to names, and my husband is a card-carrying member of the “No.” party, i.e. the only name input he gives me is to tell me that he doesn’t like any of my suggestions.

Our current five children that somehow, miraculously, left the hospital with names we actually loved are:

[name]Felix[/name] [name]Lysander[/name]–13
[name]Olive[/name] [name]Matilda[/name]–11
[name]Maeve[/name] [name]Tallulah[/name]–8
[name]Susannah[/name] [name]Blair[/name] (goes by [name]Sunny[/name])–6
[name]Edward[/name] [name]Atticus[/name] (we only call him [name]Ned[/name])–3 STUPID TWILIGHT STOLE OUR KID’S NAME!

So [name]Felix[/name], [name]Olive[/name], [name]Maeve[/name], [name]Sunny[/name], and [name]Ned[/name].

Names I’ve liked but hubby has shot down:

[name]Penelope[/name] ([name]Lola[/name])
[name]Oscar[/name]–he doesn’t want to repeat first letters. It doesn’t bother me.

That’s it. So we’d love, love, love suggestions. As I said above, we’ve gotten a lot of grief over [name]Ned[/name]'s name; we don’t especially like [name]Edward[/name], but it was for [name]Ralph[/name]'s father [name]Ed[/name] who had passed away (we adore [name]Ned[/name], though). Easily-identifiable pop-culture names are ones we’d like to avoid, but other than that, anything goes.

And also, BEFORE YOU [name]JUDGE[/name] US, we are not hipsters. I hope. We just like hispter-esque names. [name]Don[/name]'t shoot us!

Thank you, dearies :slight_smile:

Your children have fantastic names! And not to worry, you’re talking to another member of ‘Team Anything BUT Twilight’ here :slight_smile: [name]Olive[/name] [name]Matilda[/name] is especially gorgeous and I love [name]Oscar[/name] but I agree with your husband on not sharing first initials. Okay, onto suggestions!

I love the names [name]Ruben[/name], [name]Rufus[/name] and [name]Jasper[/name] if its a boy. What about [name]Delilah[/name], [name]Betsy[/name], [name]Romy[/name], or [name]Bettina[/name] for a girl?

Wow–thanks for all the great suggestions!

charliehotsox:

Haha, there should be a shirt with that on it. I’d buy “Team Anything BUT Twilight” apparel :wink:

I adore from your suggestions:
[name]August[/name]
[name]Jasper[/name] (but we’d probably get even more grief if we used this)
[name]Dexter[/name]
[name]Hugo[/name]
[name]Theo[/name]

[name]Florence[/name] (what would be a good nickname for this?)
[name]Phoebe[/name]
[name]June[/name]
[name]Alice[/name] (again, though I love [name]Alice[/name] we’d get “are you guys Twilight fans?”)

Thanks again!

chantillylace

Thanks! I quite like [name]Jasper[/name], [name]Theo[/name], [name]Violet[/name], and [name]Wren[/name] from your suggestions. [name]Do[/name] you think that there’d be too much V in our children’s names if we used [name]Violet[/name]–[name]Olive[/name], [name]Maeve[/name], and [name]Violet[/name]?

kyemsma

Thanks!

[name]Juniper[/name] is so lovely! I’ll definitely be putting this on our list. [name]Archer[/name] is also neat.

clarity

Seems like everyone likes [name]Jasper[/name], and I do too. Drat that Twilight!

So I guess we have a few names now that we like.

[name]Florence[/name] (nickname? I’m not feeling [name]Flo[/name])
[name]Phoebe[/name]
[name]June[/name]/[name]Juniper[/name]
[name]Alice[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]
[name]Wren[/name]

[name]August[/name]
[name]Jasper[/name]
[name]Dexter[/name]
[name]Hugo[/name]
[name]Theo[/name]
[name]Archer[/name]

Any more suggestions? I still am not in love with any name yet. And I’m sure that [name]Ralph[/name] will shoot down all of these. Any advice for dealing with him?

Congrats to you!

Another nickname for [name]Florence[/name] that I have heard is [name]Flossie[/name]. So adorable!!

Florence (nickname? I’m not feeling Flo)

I think [name]Ren[/name] ([name]Wren[/name]) would be a cute nn for [name]Florence[/name]! Some may think it’s a stretch, though.

I love all of your names. My sister in law has some awesome names for her boys…[name]Grayson[/name], [name]Bridger[/name] (my favorite) [name]Harper[/name] and [name]Sutton[/name]. My daughter is expecting and if she has a boy …naming him [name]Jett[/name] [name]Micah[/name]. Some girl names I like are [name]Willow[/name], [name]Lola[/name], [name]Asher[/name] and [name]Piper[/name]. I also love [name]Birdie[/name]…it’s a little crazy but I love it! Good luck.

13

Another name I think is adorable for a girl is Maizey. It was my first pick years ago if I was to ever ave another child. After I realized that wasn’t happening we got a puppy and that is her name. :wink:

14

Twilight ruined several names on our list, too. My son [name]Caspian[/name] was slated to be named [name]Jasper[/name] (I still love that name) and I wanted to name our baby girl [name]Twyla[/name], but thought people would only make a Twilight association.

15

Personally, I don’t think [name]Olive[/name], [name]Maeve[/name], and [name]Violet[/name] would be too many V’s, but I love the sound of the v in girls’ names, so I’m a little biased. I wouldn’t throw it out just because of the v, but you could consider it the final rounds when you’re comparing it to your other top girl names. Good luck!

16

I think if you like a name, it shouldn’t matter if people will associate it with Twilight. Tell them to screw, lol. [name]August[/name] is one of my favorite names though, probably my favorite I saw listed.

Boys; [name]Alexander[/name], [name]Alistair[/name], [name]Collin[/name], [name]Christopher[/name], [name]Caleb[/name], [name]Elliot[/name], [name]Gabriel[/name], [name]Liam[/name], [name]Milo[/name], [name]Noah[/name], [name]Owen[/name], [name]Nicholas[/name],[name]Tobin[/name], [name]Zachariah[/name]

I second [name]Ren[/name] as a nickname for [name]Florence[/name], especially because you like the name [name]Wren[/name].

Other nicknames: [name]Flora[/name], [name]Flossie[/name], [name]Lora[/name], [name]Ora[/name], [name]Flo[/name], [name]Lala[/name], [name]Renny[/name]

Also, I think [name]Olive[/name], [name]Maeve[/name], and [name]Violet[/name] go well together. I like that they all have V in them.

I like [name]Florie[/name] and [name]Ren[/name] as nicknames for [name]Florence[/name].
