Should I?

With my favorite names, I run them by my boyfriend. Well I told him that I have the perfect sibset, and mentioned, [name_f]Hermione[/name_f]… He said “that name is a very punchable name. I would punch a girl named [name_f]Hermione[/name_f]”

Well… That RUINED that name for me. :confused:

Which sibset would you choose?

[name_m]David[/name_m], [name_f]Alice[/name_f] & [name_f]Athena[/name_f] “Thena”
or
[name_m]David[/name_m], [name_f]Alice[/name_f] & [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] “Mione”

And can you give me some names you think I would like that goes well with [name_m]David[/name_m] and [name_f]Alice[/name_f]. And maybe has a nickname?

Please, and thank you

I would choose [name_m]David[/name_m], [name_f]Alice[/name_f] & [name_f]Hermione[/name_f], but I feel like [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] and [name_f]Athena[/name_f] are both much more daring than [name_m]David[/name_m] and [name_f]Alice[/name_f]. Maybe that’s what you’re going for?

From your sig, how about [name_f]Theodora[/name_f] “[name_f]Thea[/name_f]” or [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] “[name_f]Gwen[/name_f]”? Or…

[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] “[name_f]Cora[/name_f]”
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] “[name_f]Tillie[/name_f]”
[name_f]Miranda[/name_f] “[name_f]Mira[/name_f]”
[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] “[name_u]Romy[/name_u]”/"[name_f]Rosie[/name_f]"
[name_f]Romilly[/name_f] “[name_u]Romy[/name_u]”
[name_f]Rhiannon[/name_f] “[name_u]Rhian[/name_u]”
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] “[name_u]Penny[/name_u]”/"[name_f]Poppy[/name_f]"/"[name_f]Nell[/name_f]"
[name_f]Philippa[/name_f] “[name_f]Pippa[/name_f]”
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f] “[name_f]Winnie[/name_f]”
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] “[name_f]Greta[/name_f]”
[name_f]Calliope[/name_f] “[name_f]Callie[/name_f]”
[name_f]Virginia[/name_f] or [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f] “[name_f]Ginny[/name_f]”
[name_f]Coraline[/name_f] “[name_f]Cora[/name_f]”
[name_f]Helena[/name_f] “[name_f]Lena[/name_f]”

I could keep going but I’ll stop :slight_smile:

I like [name_m]David[/name_m], [name_f]Alice[/name_f], and [name_f]Athena[/name_f] better than [name_m]David[/name_m], [name_f]Alice[/name_f], and [name_f]Hermione[/name_f]. I personally think that [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] is too tied to [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Potter[/name_m], but that may change in a few years since [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] is over. Some other suggestions for names to go with [name_m]David[/name_m] and [name_f]Alice[/name_f]:

[name_f]Althea[/name_f] [name_f]Thea[/name_f]
[name_f]Nova[/name_f]
[name_f]Gabriella[/name_f] [name_u]Gabby[/name_u]
[name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_f]Laura[/name_f]
[name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u]
[name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] [name_f]Hattie[/name_f]

[name_m]Jaspar[/name_m]
[name_m]Timothy[/name_m] [name_m]Tim[/name_m]/[name_m]Timmy[/name_m]
[name_m]Joseph[/name_m] [name_m]Joe[/name_m]
[name_m]Philip[/name_m] [name_u]Phil[/name_u]
[name_u]Rex[/name_u]
[name_m]Ike[/name_m]
[name_m]Zeke[/name_m]
[name_m]Julien[/name_m]
[name_m]Vaughn[/name_m]
[name_m]Graham[/name_m]
[name_m]Isaiah[/name_m]
[name_m]Eli[/name_m]

  • I wasn’t sure if you wanted just girl suggestions or both-

That would ruin the boyfriend for me. A guy talking about he himself punching a woman for her name? That’s not someone I’d be talking babies with.

O_o first reaction is that I would seriously question my relationship with a man who would say, even in jest, that he’d punch a girl for her name (or for any reason, really).

Second reaction, I like [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Athena[/name_f], and [name_f]Hermione[/name_f], but [name_m]David[/name_m] feels like the odd one out there.

If you’re set on keeping [name_m]David[/name_m], sister names I can see going with it are [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Sarah[/name_f], etc. [name_f]Alice[/name_f] works with it, but [name_f]Alice[/name_f] seems much more whimsical than [name_m]David[/name_m], so in my mind they don’t fit together as well as [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and [name_m]David[/name_m] or [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] and [name_m]David[/name_m].

I like [name_m]David[/name_m], [name_f]Alice[/name_f] and [name_f]Athena[/name_f] the best as a sibset. Personally, I don’t think [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] is usable at all. I hope that doesn’t sound harsh, but I dislike it.

He was joking about punching people. He would never hit a girl. He said that to emphasize how much he dislikes the name

Seconded. [name_f]My[/name_f] preferred sibset combo for him would be Violent and Abusive.

Excuse me, I’d rather you not talk about my boyfriend like that, thank you…

I’m asking about [name_f]Athena[/name_f] or [name_f]Hermione[/name_f]. I did not ask anyone to say anything about my boyfriend.
