I’m not due until [name_u]August[/name_u] and I’m not sure this is a girl, either…but help me out with a sweet name to go with Esmé! This is actually baby #8 but Esmé is the most recent babe and the one this little one’s name would be paired with most.
other sibs are
nathaniel
elias
levi
hudson
johanna (pron. joe-hannah)
caleb
and then esmé
dh really likes evangeline, and I’m not against it per see, but my Sis in law is due with an [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] just before us who will go by [name_f]Evie[/name_f] (with the long E sound). I like the meaning of [name_f]Vera[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] ([name_u]Truth[/name_u] Bearer) but not totally sold on the name [name_f]Vera[/name_f] itself. I also have liked [name_f]Violet[/name_f] & [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] but I don’t like names that are popular, and both of those seem to be growing.
I think [name_f]Violet[/name_f] works best with your group. I also like [name_u]Ruby[/name_u].
What about [name_f]Verity[/name_f]? It would work well with your sibset. While I like [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], I wouldn’t use it for the reasons in your post, and [name_f]Evie[/name_f] is pretty close to [name_m]Levi[/name_m] and [name_u]Elias[/name_u]. Some other names you might like:
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f]
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f]
[name_f]Celeste[/name_f]
[name_f]Ruth[/name_f]
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]
[name_f]Marina[/name_f]
[name_f]Petra[/name_f]
Thanks for the ideas. [name_f]Verity[/name_f] is a name we’ve discussed, we have good friends with a 3 yo named that…they wouldn’t mind at all if we used it. I like [name_f]Celeste[/name_f], dh not so much. I really like [name_f]Celia[/name_f], but dh always says it reminds him of celiac disease. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you all find naming a child is a test of your marriage? lol! dh’s favorite girl name is [name_f]Cindy[/name_f]…and his favorite boy name is [name_m]Ricardo[/name_m] (but my dh is not latino, mind you). We can really go in circles with names! At least he has ideas!
I love [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], but like @davisellu, I probably wouldn’t use it too in your case. Sorry. I like the idea of [name_f]Vera[/name_f]!
[name_f]Veronica[/name_f] (true image)
[name_f]Lucia[/name_f]
[name_f]Isaline[/name_f]
[name_f]Fiona[/name_f]
[name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]
Ooh, I like [name_f]Fern[/name_f]. I had a great-aunt [name_f]Fern[/name_f] who was just a gem. It doesn’t have a pretty sound to it, to me, though. Ack, and now that I think of it, it really won’t work with our last name. Darn last names!
