Sibling for Elliott - HELP!

General Name Discussion
1

I’m really struggling with names on this go-round and could use a little help from the experts :slight_smile:

My husband and I welcomed our first child last year. His name, [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] Poplar, was decided on fairly early along. It was really the only first name we could agree on: we liked that the first name was familiar but not too common, and it fits our inquisitive little guy. I love flower/plant names, and we wanted a P to honor my maiden name, so we went with an unusual choice for a middle. [name_u]Baby[/name_u]'s last name rhymes with Wiggins.

Now we’re expecting our second, and we are STRUGGLING. We don’t know the gender, but none of the names from [name_u]Elliott[/name_u]'s shortlist feel like the one. I find myself seeing the same names over and over and feeling a bit blah about them all. I think we need some fresh inspiration. I included the old shortlists below, to give a sense of our style. Would appreciate any feedback on these but especially new recommendations for us to consider.

Boy: [name_m]Dashiell[/name_m], [name_m]Isaac[/name_m], [name_u]Wyn[/name_u], [name_u]August[/name_u] ([name_u]Gus[/name_u])
Girl: [name_f]Oona[/name_f], [name_f]Clover[/name_f], [name_f]Miriam[/name_f], [name_f]Thea[/name_f]
