Berries, your thoughts please!
[name_f]My[/name_f] son is [name_u]Evan[/name_u]. Beautiful, strong, simple. (At least I think so. …) I’m looking for something equally as clean and simple- nothing with major nickname appeal.
Current names I like:
Boys- [name_m]Nathan[/name_m] (like despite nickname of [name_m]Nate[/name_m])
[name_m]Caleb[/name_m]
Girls- [name_f]Tess[/name_f],
[name_f]Claire[/name_f],
[name_f]Anna[/name_f] (seems plain),
[name_f]Natalie[/name_f],
[name_f]Elise[/name_f],
[name_f]Calla[/name_f] (possibly too odd?),
[name_f]Adele[/name_f] (looove, but worry about associations immediately with the singer)
Obviously I am really lacking in the boy department. Here are some names I like, but can’t use:
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m], [name_f]Kate[/name_f], [name_m]Luke[/name_m], [name_u]James[/name_u]
And names I like, but are super popular, therefore won’t use:
[name_f]Ava[/name_f], [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], [name_u]Noah[/name_u], [name_f]Sophia[/name_f], [name_m]Jack[/name_m]
Any input would be awesome.
[name_f]My[/name_f] favorites from your list are [name_f]Claire[/name_f] and [name_f]Adele[/name_f] (I don’t think people will assume you named her after the singer).
Some other possibilities:
[name_u]Evan[/name_u] and
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Avis[/name_f]
[name_f]Blythe[/name_f]
[name_f]Carys[/name_f]
[name_f]Clea[/name_f]/[name_f]Cleo[/name_f]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_f]Delia[/name_f] (or [name_f]Della[/name_f] instead of [name_f]Adele[/name_f]?)
[name_f]Flora[/name_f]
[name_f]Gloria[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Jill[/name_f]
[name_f]Julia[/name_f]
[name_f]Liza[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_f]Mary[/name_f]
[name_f]Maud[/name_f]
[name_f]Nora[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Ruth[/name_f]
[name_f]Stella[/name_f]
[name_f]Sybil[/name_f]
[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f]
[name_f]Thea[/name_f]
[name_f]Vera[/name_f]
[name_f]Willa[/name_f]
[name_m]Abel[/name_m]
[name_m]Adam[/name_m]
[name_m]Amos[/name_m]
[name_m]Bruce[/name_m]
[name_m]Clark[/name_m]
[name_m]Cole[/name_m]
[name_m]Craig[/name_m]
[name_m]Conrad[/name_m]
[name_m]David[/name_m]
[name_u]Drew[/name_u]
[name_m]George[/name_m]
[name_m]Grant[/name_m]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]
[name_m]Leo[/name_m]
[name_m]Levi[/name_m]
[name_m]Mark[/name_m]/[name_m]Marcus[/name_m]
[name_m]Miles[/name_m]
[name_u]Neil[/name_u]
[name_m]Nigel[/name_m]
[name_m]Paul[/name_m]
[name_m]Peter[/name_m]
[name_u]Reed[/name_u]
[name_m]Ross[/name_m]
[name_u]Seth[/name_u]
[name_m]Simon[/name_m]
[name_u]Theo[/name_u]
[name_m]Trent[/name_m]
[name_m]Ward[/name_m]
I have considered [name_f]Nora[/name_f] and [name_f]Stella[/name_f], but my husband dislikes both.
I like [name_u]Seth[/name_u], [name_m]Grant[/name_m], [name_m]Henry[/name_m] and sort of like [name_m]Cole[/name_m].
[name_u]Evan[/name_u] and [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m]
[name_u]Evan[/name_u] and [name_m]Connor[/name_m]
[name_u]Evan[/name_u] and [name_u]Elliott[/name_u]
[name_u]Evan[/name_u] and [name_m]Rupert[/name_m]
[name_u]Evan[/name_u] and [name_u]Finn[/name_u]
[name_u]Evan[/name_u] and [name_f]Hannah[/name_f]
[name_u]Evan[/name_u] and [name_f]Roslyn[/name_f]
[name_u]Evan[/name_u] and [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_u]Evan[/name_u] and [name_f]Elaine[/name_f]
[name_u]Evan[/name_u] and [name_f]Keira[/name_f]
I do like [name_u]Evan[/name_u] and [name_m]Caleb[/name_m] together! Another favourtie of mine is [name_m]Leo[/name_m].
For a girl, I love both [name_f]Calla[/name_f] (I dont think it is too old) and [name_f]Elise[/name_f].
[name_u]Evan[/name_u] is a great name, strong, simple, beautiful like you said. I like [name_m]Nathan[/name_m] for a brother, and [name_f]Anna[/name_f], [name_f]Claire[/name_f] and [name_f]Adele[/name_f] all work really well for a sister. I wouldn’t worry about the singer, don’t think people will go straight there, and [name_f]Anna[/name_f] isn’t ‘plain’ in my opinion, just simple and beautiful, like [name_u]Evan[/name_u]! I think you already have some great options - [name_f]Natalie[/name_f] is the only one I would maybe cross off because three syllables tend to get nicknames a lot more than two syllables.
Maybe:
[name_m]Alec[/name_m]
[name_u]Alex[/name_u]
[name_u]Ellis[/name_u]
[name_u]Max[/name_u]
[name_u]Rory[/name_u]
[name_m]Simon[/name_m]
[name_m]Scott[/name_m]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f]
