Shorten or Add to My Long List

General Name Discussion
1

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

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

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

Also love Greer and Indigo nn Indy 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:.

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.
