[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone! This is my first time posting. I recently found out I am expecting my second baby. I am excited about starting our name search. My husband and I tend to have a hard time agreeing on names do we need to start early. We love short, spunky, not super girly names. Nothing too common or expected to be in the top 100. Below are the only ones I can come up with! Any thoughts or other ideas? Our son’s name is [name_m]Ace[/name_m] [name_m]Phillip[/name_m].
[name_u]Sloane[/name_u] (husband vetoed bc of someone he knows)
[name_u]Rue[/name_u] (is this getting super popular…I love it!)
[name_u]Kit[/name_u]
[name_f]Dot[/name_f]
[name_f]Maxine[/name_f] (nn [name_u]Max[/name_u]…too similar to [name_f]Jessica[/name_f] [name_m]Simpson[/name_m]'s [name_m]Ace[/name_m] and [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m]).
Another spelling for [name_u]Rue[/name_u] is [name_u]Roux[/name_u] which may be worth a thought. To me [name_u]Kit[/name_u] and [name_f]Dot[/name_f] are very cute but are a little too short and not full names. [name_f]Kitty[/name_f]? [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]?
Also;
The names you have picked out are not my style really. I prefer [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] instead of [name_u]Rue[/name_u] and if you like [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] you could use rue for a nickname.

[name_f]Eve[/name_f]
[name_u]Evan[/name_u]
[name_f]Noa[/name_f]

Thanks for the great suggestions! Keep them coming. My husband is not a fan of nicknames…he prefers to just have the nickname as given name (that’s how I ended up with [name_m]Ace[/name_m] not [name_u]Asa[/name_u] like I wanted! ).we both prefer names that don’t end with a y/ie/a sound ([name_f]Liza[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] etc).I do like [name_u]Kit[/name_u] as a nickname for [name_f]Katherine[/name_f]. [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], [name_f]Grier[/name_f], [name_u]Tatum[/name_u], and [name_f]Neve[/name_f] are great too. We both like [name_f]Roxy[/name_f] but it is the name of a pipular strip club in the next town.
Unrelated, but do you worry about how easy a name will be for a kid to pronounce? [name_f]Greer[/name_f] is so cool but might be tough until Kingetdarten Least!
Can I suggest Kitra for a full name for [name_u]Kit[/name_u]? Not as frilly as a [name_f]Katherine[/name_f], but still has a nice meaning and history.
[name_f]Noa[/name_f] seems like a good fits as well.
I love [name_u]Rue[/name_u] as a name. Is it really getting popular though? In the US it is not in the top 1000 names. It seems like such a good fit for what your looking for.
