We are expecting baby #3 in a few months and are planning to not find out the sex this time. Therefore, we are in search of the perfect boy and girl names to complement our two children [name]Knox[/name] [name]Christian[/name] and [name]Piper[/name] [name]Joy[/name].
For boys:
We like [name]Blaise[/name], [name]Finn[/name], [name]Hansen[/name] (family name), and [name]Bennett[/name].
For girls:
We like [name]Dinah[/name], [name]Presley[/name], [name]Haven[/name] (husband doesn’t like), and [name]Elsie[/name] (I don’t really like)
Our last name starts with a P and has 4 syllables so I think sticking with 1 and 2 syllable names is best.
I would appreciate any and all opinions on names we are looking at as well as suggestions for new options. I’m waiting to hear that name that just clicks!
From your list, I like [name]Blaise[/name], [name]Finn[/name] and [name]Bennett[/name]. On the girls side, I like [name]Dinah[/name] but I don’t think it’s a good “fit” with [name]Knox[/name] and [name]Piper[/name]. Stylistically, [name]Presley[/name] is the best “match” but it shares an initial with [name]Piper[/name]. Here are some suggestions.
Ohmigod I am obsessed with your children’s names! They are absolutely gorgeous!!! [name]Knox[/name] and [name]Piper[/name] is the cutest sibset!! So with [name]Knox[/name] and [name]Piper[/name], I think [name]Presley[/name] would be really, really pretty! [name]Knox[/name], [name]Piper[/name], and [name]Blaise[/name] or even [name]Bennett[/name] would be adorable too! But here are some other suggestions for girls:
[name]Knox[/name], [name]Piper[/name] and [name]Annabeth[/name]
[name]Harlow[/name]
Juinper
[name]Alessandra[/name] (may overpower the other names because of the length, but I still like the sound of it!)
[name]Isla[/name]
[name]Wren[/name] (unisex)
[name]Kaylee[/name]
[name]Nicola[/name]
[name]Quinn[/name] (also unizex–I think [name]Knox[/name], [name]Piper[/name] and [name]Quinn[/name] would be adorable whether your baby is a boy or girl!)
[name]Clementine[/name]
[name]Fiona[/name]
[name]Lia[/name]
[name]Lucia[/name]
For boys:
[name]Samuel[/name]
[name]Asher[/name]
[name]Harrison[/name]
[name]Xander[/name] (It would be cute because then both your boys would have an “X” in their name! I like it but you prob think I’m crazy ;))
[name]Justice[/name]
[name]Nico[/name]
These are just some suggestions for you! I hope everything works out and your children, [name]Knox[/name] [name]Christian[/name] and [name]Piper[/name] [name]Joy[/name], have the cutest names on the face of the earth! I’m sure whatever name you pick will be amazing! If you want any more suggestions or help with anything else, let me know!!
I like [name]Blaise[/name] (or [name]Blane[/name] or [name]Blake[/name]) or [name]Finn[/name].
Other boy names like your list:
[name]Nash[/name]
[name]Zeke[/name]
[name]Zane[/name]
For a girl, I prefer [name]Presley[/name], but with already having a little [name]Piper[/name], maybe you’d want a different first initial sound than a P.
Thank you so much for the advice and suggestions! I’m starting to really like [name]Reagan[/name] if it’s a girl. Any suggestions for a cute middle name for [name]Reagan[/name]?
To keep with virtue name of [name]Joy[/name] what about [name]Reagan[/name] [name]Fay[/name] (shortened form of [name]Faith[/name]). As for a boy how about [name]Cade[/name] [name]Bennett[/name], [name]Dane[/name] [name]Hansen[/name], or [name]Blaine[/name] [name]Dominic[/name]?
Well, I have been put on bed rest for the rest of the pregnancy (10 more weeks) so I have a lot of time to think! We still have not come up with any names we totally agree on and I’m starting to stress! If anyone is still reading this post I would love some insight. Nothing is really jumping out at me. I love the fact that our children’s names ([name]Knox[/name] [name]Christian[/name] and [name]Piper[/name] [name]Joy[/name]) are short (to complement our long last name) and easy to pronounce. I used to love long flowery girls names ([name]Victoria[/name], [name]Bianca[/name] etc.), but not anymore. I like the shorter, more spunky girl names and boy names that are strong, but not pompous or yuppie sounding. A random side note: My husband’s family is Finnish so he would be insanely excited if we found a name of Finnish or Scandinavian origin. Unfortunately, I’ve looked with all 3 kids and never really found any I thought would work.
My husband gets annoyed with me talking about names all the time, but I really would feel so much better if I could get some clarity, especially if I deliver early.
So, with that said - any help or advice with our current “list” would be so very VERY much appreciated!
Girls-
[name]Elsie[/name] (He likes)
[name]Dinah[/name] (I like, but would get annoyed if people called her [name]Diana[/name] all the time)
[name]Brenna[/name] (Also like, but would be annoyed if she was always called [name]Brenda[/name])
[name]Ruby[/name] (I think we both actually like this one at the moment)
[name]Gloria[/name] (This was my grandmother’s name who recently passed away. I always wanted to use it somehow with my own child, but I have a cousin named [name]Gloria[/name] so don’t know that it’s possible.)
[name]Reagan[/name] (I was really liking this one, but he’s not totally sold)
[name]Farrah[/name] (He likes)
Boys-
[name]Finn[/name] (Cool because of his Finnish heritage, but not sure it’s very tough sounding)
[name]Blaise[/name] (This has been our #1 boy name for months, but recently my husband discovered the meaning “to lisp or stutter” and he doesn’t know if he could use it now)
[name]Bennett[/name] (We both like, but I don’t know if I’m sold)
I really like [name]Harper[/name], but worry about its popularity. I have 8 friends who are pregnant right now and I know at least one of them is considering [name]Harper[/name] for boy or girl. I recently told my mom that we were considering [name]Ruby[/name] and she told me it sounded like a stripper name. (Ahh!) This is exactly why we never discuss names with other people before the baby is born. I still like it though, just haven’t heard the right middle name. Something one syllable that has a nice meaning. Our other children have middle names “[name]Christian[/name]” and “[name]Joy[/name]” that reflect our faith and I really like that. Would love to find something similar.
