Sibling for Zeller, Cashel and Anthea

Name Advice
1

Would love your thoughts on names for a sibling.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]My[/name_f] children’s names are: Zeller [name_m]Baird[/name_m], [name_m]Cashel[/name_m] Carr & [name_f]Anthea[/name_f] [name_f]Marian[/name_f] [name_f]Lake[/name_f]

[name_f][/name_f]

They are pretty unusual, but not made up (zeller is my paternal grandmother’s last name.) I’ll have a mix of stuff we just liked and family significance.

[name_f][/name_f]

Here are the first names that I’m considering:

[name_f][/name_f]

boys:

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Morris[/name_m] (nn [name_f]Mo[/name_f] or [name_m]Morey[/name_m] or Moss)

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] (nn [name_m]Bo[/name_m] or Rosy)

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Russo[/name_m] (nn Ru)

[name_f][/name_f]

Girls:

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] (nn Cricket)

[name_f][/name_f]

Amorett (nn Rhett)

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Holiday[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Holly[/name_f] or Daisy) (i love this name but everyone seems to think it’s trashy? I think of an english schoolgirl but everyone seems to think stripper)

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Pauline[/name_f] (too plain compared to the rest?)

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Vera[/name_f] (same q as pauline)

[name_f][/name_f]

Would love to find another girl or boy name that could have a nickname of mazzy? Not mazarine

[name_f][/name_f]

Middle names:

[name_f][/name_f]

Amorett and russo (if not used for firsts)

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Russell[/name_m]

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Midnight[/name_m]

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Frost[/name_m]

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Walsh[/name_m]

[name_f][/name_f]

Any names or combinations you think I should consider?

Oh wow – your children have absolutely stunning[name_f][/name_f] names, especially [name_f]Anthea[/name_f] [name_f]Marian[/name_f] [name_f]Lake[/name_f] :heart_eyes:[name_f][/name_f] !!

[name_f][/name_f]

From your list, I’m really loving [name_m]Russo[/name_m] & [name_f]Holiday[/name_f] (don’t think she sounds trashy at all – such a lovely pick)! They both have that slightly unexpected vibe with a familiar nickname & a zippy sound. [name_m]Russo[/name_m] [name_m]Frost[/name_m] would be super cool, and I love the idea of [name_f]Holiday[/name_f] [name_f]Vera[/name_f] [name_f]Amoret[/name_f]!

[name_f][/name_f]

I’ll also suggest…

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Linnet[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Glory[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Primrose[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Hestia[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Callista[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Bronwyn[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Thekla[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Ebba[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Isolde[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Phaedra[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Cleo[/name_f]

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Lysander[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Rafferty[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Booth[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Peregrine[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Lorcan[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Finnian[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Lonan[/name_m] / [name_m]Lowell[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Jarvis[/name_m]

[name_f][/name_f]

For [name_f]Mazzy[/name_f], maybe you could find initials that make Ma__ Z__? For example, [name_m]Macaulay[/name_m] [name_m]Zephyr[/name_m] or [name_m]Maddox[/name_m] [name_m]Zayn[/name_m]. I’ll also suggest anything that [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] could be short for… [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], [name_f]Marcella[/name_f], [name_f]Maxine[/name_f], etc.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helped! Best of luck!

[name_f][/name_f]

Amorett [name_m]Russo[/name_m] and [name_f]Holiday[/name_f] [name_f]Vera[/name_f] would be cute

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Pauline[/name_f] does feel a bit plain to me [name_f][/name_f]- I think [name_f]Vera[/name_f] could work [name_f][/name_f]- but I’d also recommend [name_f]Paulina[/name_f] maybe?

With the sibset, I think for boys Amorett [name_m]Frost[/name_m] or [name_m]Russo[/name_m] [name_m]Midnight[/name_m] fit best.

[name_f][/name_f]

For girls, I think Mazara [name_f]Holiday[/name_f] / [name_f]Holiday[/name_f] Mazara would be lovely!

[name_m]Welcome[/name_m] back!

[name_f][/name_f]

Thoughts on your list:

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Morris[/name_m] → I love this! Warm, old-soul, and the nickname options are fantastic. [name_m]Moss[/name_m] in particular feels like it ties into your nature-y, lyrical style.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] → [name_f]Gorgeous[/name_f]. Distinguished and saintly but softened with that -rose ending. Nicknames [name_m]Bo[/name_m] and [name_f]Rosy[/name_f] are unexpected and charming.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Russo[/name_m] → Cool, edgy, a little artsy. Feels surname-y like Z but still approachable. [name_m]Ru[/name_m] is adorable.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] → [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] grounds things, while [name_f]Cricket[/name_f] adds sparkle. Such a clever way to balance vintage + whimsical.

[name_f][/name_f]

Amorett → Absolutely matches A in literary/mythic weight. Romantic but sharp. [name_m]Rhett[/name_m] gives it grit.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Holiday[/name_f] → I get where you’re coming from. To me, [name_f]Holiday[/name_f] feels jazzy-vintage (Billie [name_f]Holiday[/name_f], [name_f]Holly[/name_f] Golightly) and delightfully whimsical. It reads more “literary-bohemian” than trashy with your sibset.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Pauline[/name_f] → It’s vintage, but compared to your other kids’ names, it might feel a little underdressed. [name_f]Paulina[/name_f] or [name_f]Paloma[/name_f] might add a touch more sparkle.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Vera[/name_f] → Same situation – beautiful, sleek, but almost too mainstream beside Z, C, and A. Though I do love [name_f]Vera[/name_f] [name_m]Midnight[/name_m].
