General Name Discussion

I posted a few weeks ago for name ideas for a brother or sister (team green) to go with my son [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m] (nn Dash). I got great feedback and composed a new long list (thanks to nameberry posters for their help):

[name_f]Girl[/name_f]:
[name_u]Romilly[/name_u] nn [name_u]Romy[/name_u]
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f] nn [name_f]Winny[/name_f]
[name_f]Esme[/name_f] nn Ezzy
[name_f]Calliope[/name_f] nn [name_f]Calli[/name_f]
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f] nn [name_f]Thea[/name_f] or [name_u]Theo[/name_u]
[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] nn [name_f]Neve[/name_f], [name_f]Vera[/name_f], or [name_f]Winnie[/name_f]
[name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] nn [name_f]Winnie[/name_f]
[name_f]Paloma[/name_f] nn polly? (Or something else)
[name_u]Florence[/name_u] nn [name_u]Ren[/name_u]
[name_f]Veronica[/name_f] nn [name_u]Ronnie[/name_u] or [name_f]Vera[/name_f]

Boy:
[name_m]Evander[/name_m] nn [name_u]Van[/name_u]
[name_m]Cillian[/name_m] nn [name_m]Ian[/name_m]
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] nn [name_m]Baz[/name_m]
[name_m]Vance[/name_m] nn [name_u]Van[/name_u]
[name_m]Bowen[/name_m] (or Bohan) nn [name_u]Bo[/name_u]
[name_u]Channing[/name_u] nn ____
[name_u]Lionel[/name_u] nn lyle
[name_m]Truett[/name_m] nn [name_u]True[/name_u]

Also love [name_u]Greer[/name_u] and [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] nn [name_u]Indy[/name_u] but my husband is a firm no on these.

Please either 1) tell me your favorite(s), 2) tell me your least favorites, or 3) suggest other names!

Thank you!!

Thank you so much for the feedback! I am really loving [name_u]Romilly[/name_u] which I hadn’t heard until someone suggested here! Now I just need to convince my husband :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:.

[name_u]Romilly[/name_u], [name_f]Elowen[/name_f], [name_f]Paloma[/name_f], [name_m]Evander[/name_m], [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] and [name_m]Truett[/name_m] are my favourites

Thank you!! I’ve always loved [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], but I worry a little bit about it’s popularity (especially compared to Dashiell). [name_f]Do[/name_f] you think that is an issue?

I don’t think. Stylistically they’re a good match and so long as you love it, that’s the main thing. If it helps, I’ve yet ti encounter a [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]

My heart!! I love the nicknames you chose. What a good list.
