We’re expecting a little girl in a couple weeks, and we’re officially STRUGGGGGGGGLING with a name. HELP!
Some factors:
We have a son: Rexton [name_u]Michael[/name_u]. We call him [name_u]Rex[/name_u], except when he’s in trouble :o)
We have a lonnnnng last name. 10 letters. 3 syllables and starts with a K. Phonetically: kurk-ehh-guard
Middle name will probably be: [name_m]Adams[/name_m] (family name) or [name_f]Susan[/name_f]
We generally like the idea of a longer name that shortens down to a simple & short nickname (but are realizing this is TOUGH with girls names!) We [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] that [name_u]Rex[/name_u] is “classic” but relatively uncommon, and feel the pressure to somehow come up with as “cool” of a name as his.
We have a list, but aren’t convinced or truly “in love” any of them… yet.
[name_u]Ainsley[/name_u] is beautiful I think [name_u]Rex[/name_u] & [name_u]Ainsley[/name_u] sound quite nice together.
My next vote would be [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]!
I knew an [name_u]Ainsley[/name_u] online and she was very very sweet but a tomboy. So I guess the name has quite a bit of potential for a little one to mould how she likes
I like [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] ([name_u]Rex[/name_u] & [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] )
And [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] ([name_u]Rex[/name_u] and [name_f]Lettie[/name_f])
Other suggestions:
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f]Lila[/name_f]
[name_f]Luna[/name_f]
[name_u]Ember[/name_u]
I like [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_f]Susan[/name_f] best, but I don’t think [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] has a cool nn to go with [name_u]Rex[/name_u].
What about [name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Susan[/name_f]? [name_u]Rex[/name_u] & [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] sound so cute together!
Best advice: look for a nn you like, and then find a longer name to go with it. What about [name_f]Pia[/name_f] ([name_f]Olympia[/name_f]), [name_f]Mona[/name_f] ([name_f]Desdemona[/name_f]), [name_f]Via[/name_f] ([name_f]Oliviane[/name_f]), or [name_f]Belle[/name_f] ([name_u]Bellamy[/name_u])
I really like [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] from your list but I wouldn’t shorten it as it’s so beautiful on its own. My suggestion is to name her [name_f]Susanna[/name_f], you honour [name_f]Susan[/name_f], and you can have a choice of lots of nicknames to go with [name_u]Rex[/name_u]. [name_u]Rex[/name_u] and [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] ([name_u]Rex[/name_u] and [name_f]Zuzu[/name_f], [name_f]Annie[/name_f], [name_f]Suki[/name_f], [name_f]Sanna[/name_f]). I would also suggest [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] with nn [name_f]Lulu[/name_f] that I think would be adorable with [name_u]Rex[/name_u]!
