Sometimes I think about names so much I get bored or tired of my favorites. I used to love [name]Penelope[/name] but I’m just a little tired of her right now. It didn’t help that [name]Kourtney[/name] used it.
Recently I’ve been searching for new names to fall in love with. I’ve always loved nature names and I’ve been crushing on some “new” ones. ([name]New[/name] to me at least.)
What do you all think of the combo [name]Evangeline[/name] [name]Winter[/name]? I will be adding a second middle that will be a family name. Those names include [name]Laine[/name], [name]Audrey[/name], [name]Joss[/name], [name]January[/name], [name]Summer[/name], [name]Kate[/name], [name]Pearl[/name], [name]Anna[/name], [name]Sherry[/name], [name]Lynn[/name], and I’m sure I’m forgetting some.
Any thoughts? Feedback? Suggestions?
Some of my “old” favorites include [name]Violet[/name] [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Jane[/name], [name]Violet[/name] [name]Isadora[/name] [name]Laine[/name], [name]Matilda[/name] [name]January[/name] [name]Pearl[/name], [name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Summer[/name] [name]Kate[/name], but none of the combos are set in stone.
I like [name]Evangeline[/name] [name]Winter[/name]! Very pretty and sweet. There are a few of those family names that you couldn’t use with that combo, though. For example, “[name]Winter[/name] [name]Laine[/name]” sounds a little funny, and obviously [name]January[/name] and [name]Summer[/name] would be out of the question. [name]Even[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] is a bit suspect. However, putting one of the family names between [name]Evangeline[/name] and [name]Winter[/name] could work, like [name]Evangeline[/name] [name]Audrey[/name] [name]Winter[/name], which has a nice rhythm.
I love it! We considered using [name]Evangeline[/name] [name]Winter[/name] for our daughter but [name]Evangeline[/name] clashes with our last name which begins with [name]Van[/name]. We are still using [name]Winter[/name] as a middle name though…that was non-negotiable
I am so thrilled nearly everyone likes it. I was so excited last night when the combo popped into my head. I like the idea of [name]Evangeline[/name] [name]Audrey[/name] [name]Winter[/name] and I love [name]Evangeline[/name] [name]Winter[/name] [name]Lynn[/name]/[name]Pearl[/name]/[name]Kate[/name].
I would love to use [name]Sherry[/name] somehow, are there any related names that anyone knows of? I don’t love the name [name]Sherry[/name] but I love my [name]MIL[/name]. Her middle name is [name]Lynn[/name] - I know that works but I feel that it’s so common it hardly honors her…
As for honoring a [name]Sherry[/name].
[name]Sherry[/name] is listed on here as being a form of [name]Cheri[/name] which is a form of [name]Cher[/name] which means “beloved” in French.
[name]Cherish[/name] is a variant. [name]Kerensa[/name] means “love” in welsh.
There’s also just going with the common sound that’s shared in other names such as:
[name]Sharon[/name]
[name]Sharlene[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name]
A better idea would be to ask your [name]MIL[/name] what her favourite names are, and see if you like any of those enough to put in the middle. When you use your [name]MIL[/name]'s name, you’re really just honoring her parent’s taste in names.

Wow, I’ve never thought about it that way! What a great idea, thank you!
OK, I asked my [name]MIL[/name] what names she liked and/or would have used if she had a daughter. She had the name [name]Jessica[/name] picked out - she liked [name]Jessie[/name]. I would love to honor my brother [name]Joshua[/name] who we call [name]Josh[/name] and Joshie. Can I use [name]Joss[/name] or [name]Jossie[/name]?
