Sibling for Rose and Joseph

Name Advice
1

Hey Everyone!

Ok I need some serious help here. I’m due in less than 2 months and I have no clue what to name this baby (especially boy names). We don’t know if we’re having a boy or girl.

I have 2 children already, [name]Rose[/name] ([name]Rosie[/name]) and [name]Joseph[/name].

I’m not a fan of trendy or over the top weird names, but I also want something a little different and cool. Our surname starts with M so most first names with M sound silly.

Here’s my husbands name picks so far. I don’t really have a list as of yet.

BOYS
[name]Victor[/name] - I don’t like it very much, too harsh
[name]William[/name] - I don’t like the nick names, [name]Will[/name], [name]Bill[/name], or [name]Liam[/name]

GIRLS
[name]Lucy[/name] - I think it might sound baby-ish
[name]Juliet[/name] - I like it, I just don’t [name]LOVE[/name] it
[name]Kelly[/name] - I think this will be a middle name (it’s a family name on my side of the family)

I’m so open to suggestions. PLEASE HELP!

Thanks for the suggestions. Still no boys names jump out at me :frowning:

I think for a girl we will go with [name]Eden[/name]. What do you think?

[name]How[/name] are things on boys names now?

I like [name]Eden[/name] with [name]Rose[/name] and [name]Joseph[/name]. Biblical to go with [name]Joseph[/name], and garden-y / place-name-with-nature-word-name with [name]Rose[/name].

[name]Vincent[/name] is softer than [name]Victor[/name]. [name]Do[/name] you like that? I saw someone else suggested it though. Hmm.

What was it you liked about [name]Joseph[/name]? The O sound? It is common to both [name]Rose[/name] and [name]Joseph[/name]. The soft consonants? (I find that o solidifies it, though.). The Biblicalness?

See lists below. [name]Hope[/name] it helps, even just to figure out what you don’t want…all best!

Soft sound names / names with os I don’t think have been suggested yet:
[name]Adrian[/name]
[name]Alaric[/name]
[name]Alastair[/name]
[name]Donovan[/name]
[name]Edward[/name]
[name]Henry[/name]
[name]Oscar[/name]
[name]Owen[/name]
[name]Lawrence[/name]
[name]Theodore[/name]
[name]Walter[/name]

Biblical-ish names I don’t think were mentioned yet. Some might be too popular, sorry if so.:
[name]Andrew[/name]
[name]Daniel[/name]
[name]David[/name]
[name]Elias[/name]
[name]Ethan[/name]
[name]Gabriel[/name]
[name]Nathaniel[/name]
[name]Samuel[/name]
[name]Silas[/name]
[name]Solomon[/name]
[name]Tobias[/name]

I don’t like [name]Eden[/name] with [name]Rose[/name] and [name]Joseph[/name] as it sounds too dated and your taste seems to be more vintage.

There are lots of great E names that would fit.

[name]Eloise[/name]
[name]Elodie[/name]
[name]Ellen[/name]
[name]Evelyn[/name]
[name]Eva[/name]
[name]Eve[/name]
[name]Evangeline[/name]
[name]Esther[/name]

and also

[name]Hazel[/name]
[name]Sally[/name]
[name]Helena[/name]
[name]Tessa[/name]
[name]Stella[/name]
[name]Alice[/name]
[name]Naomi[/name]
[name]Jemima[/name]
[name]Louisa[/name]
[name]Phoebe[/name]
[name]Rhoda[/name]

I think [name]Eden[/name] would be adorable with [name]Rose[/name] and [name]Joseph[/name] :slight_smile:

I really like [name]Owen[/name] for a boy, but my husband isn’t crazy about it. Maybe after I’m in labor for many hours, he’ll let me name the baby whatever I want LOL.
