Hello!
[name_u]Baby[/name_u] is coming in the next week or so and I need help with a name! The gender is unknown. Big brother is [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] and big sister is [name_f]Erin[/name_f] [name_f]Amaya[/name_f]… I’m not needing another E name, but I do like the ring of three names beginning with a vowel sound. For girls names, we have a few really great contenders, but I would love to get some middle name suggestions. Here is the girls list:
[name_u]Quinn[/name_u]
[name_f]Marlo[/name_f]
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_f]Anika[/name_f]
[name_f]Mariana[/name_f] ([name_f]Mari[/name_f])
And for boys, we are at a loss. We have a few we like, but I’m not really connecting with any of them these days. Here is our list:
[name_m]Andrew[/name_m]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] ([name_u]Theo[/name_u])
[name_m]Wyatt[/name_m]
[name_m]Mateo[/name_m] ([name_m]Teo[/name_m]) (Dad is [name_m]Matthew[/name_m], so this would be for him)
I [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] [name_m]Leo[/name_m], but our last name is [name_m]Leonard[/name_m] so I didn’t want to do that. I guess I just like the sound of names ending in “o” in general. I would be thrilled to hear any thoughts and suggestions you might have. I’m feeling nervous because it is getting so close to crunch time!
Hmmm, maybe this post is too complex. I think I will post my boy question seperately from my girl question.
From your girls list I think [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] and [name_f]Mariana[/name_f] are lovely. The others aren’t really my style but they are not bad. When I say them aloud though, [name_f]Erin[/name_f] and [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] have a very similar sound so my favourite is definitely [name_f]Mariana[/name_f]. It is quite different in style from [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] and [name_f]Erin[/name_f] but maybe this doesn’t bother you?
Middle name suggestions:
[name_f]Mariana[/name_f] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] (I think [name_f]Mariana[/name_f] needs quite a short middle name)
[name_f]Mariana[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]
[name_f]Mariana[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f]
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f] [name_f]Mariana[/name_f]?
None of the names on your boys’ list are really my style but, again, that doesn’t mean they are bad names, I am just struggling to find things to say about them. [name_m]Mateo[/name_m] sounds a bit weird with your other children’s names but it is nice that it is to honour their dad. Maybe a name with a similar meaning to [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] (gift of God)? [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]? I think [name_u]Elliot[/name_u], [name_f]Erin[/name_f] and [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] (nn [name_m]Nate[/name_m]?) really work together as siblings (but obviously, that is not the most important thing). For girls, [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] and [name_f]Theodora[/name_f] mean gift of God? Weirdly I’m not a massive fan of [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] but I like [name_f]Theodora[/name_f].
[name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_m]Wyatt[/name_m]
[name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m]
I couldn’t really think of many middle names for [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m], I kept wanting to say [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]!
[name_u]Elliott[/name_u], [name_f]Erin[/name_f] & [name_f]Annika[/name_f] is the best combo from your girls’ list (the double n rounds the name out, I think).
I love the name [name_m]Leo[/name_m] as well…it’s a shame you can’t use it. I do love [name_u]Theo[/name_u] though, and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] is a great name.
I posted on the boys name forum with my boy name suggestions…
For girls I like [name_u]Elliot[/name_u], [name_f]Erin[/name_f], and…
[name_u]Quinn[/name_u] ([name_u]Quinn[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]?)
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u], although like someone else mentioned it may be too close to [name_f]Erin[/name_f] in sound
[name_f]Mariana[/name_f] nn [name_f]Mari[/name_f] or [name_f]Ana[/name_f] would be cute 
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] also comes to mind
