Just found out that we are having a surprise (never careless, always used contraception) 4th baby. We’ve got three boys Eli Reeve, Sullivan Cole and Arlington Thomas (11/9/7). I have a sneaky suspicion that this cheeky little odd-defying babe might be a girl - but I’m stuck on a name! We’re probably going with Milo Henry for a boy, but this whole girl thing has me panicking
I love the following:
Sailor (top choice)
Audrey
Millie
Lettie
… middle names are maybe Grayson, or Michele (after my mother). Can you please share your thoughts on these and suggest other middle names? Thanks in advance!
Sailor Gracen would be so cute!
Audrey Michele is okay too.
Mille and Lettie are better as nicknames imo.
Like Emmeline nn Millie or Juliet/Juliette nn Lettie
I loooove Sailor with your boys names - I think it’s a perfect fit!
What about Sailor Aubrie? …similar flow as Audrey, but I think it fits a bit better because it is less vintage.
I also really like @RedVelvet_Cupcake_Qu’s suggestion of Sailor Gracen.
Oh thank you! I love my boys names too… makes the pressure HUGE for number four! It’s been a massive shock, because I thought I was done… I’m not prepared at all!
I really like Sailor Grayson! Here are some suggestions from me (sorry for any repeats :
Arden Grayson
Amelia Grayson (Millie)
Scarletta Michele (Lettie)
Amorette Michele (Rettie)
Sailor Skye
Sailor Madison
Paisley Grayson
Athena Michele
Audrey Sage
Aubree Lake
Aubree Lia
Aubree Elisabeth
Elisabelle Grayson (Lissie/Lissy)
Hope this helps!
Sailor (top choice)-This honestly isn’t my favorite, but it’s not awful. If you love it, go for it. If you loved something problematic I’d advise against it. Sailor is not my style, but it’s totally doable. And it does sound pretty cute w/your sib set to be honest. Sailor Grayson doesn’t flow very nicely, plus is sort of boyish. I think that Sailor Michelle sounds fine. I like the idea of a feminine mn w/Sailor, but nothing too frilly. A few ideas:
Sailor Adeline
Sailor Clementine
Sailor Imogen
Sailor June
Sailor Olive
Sailor Penelope
Audrey-Aw, I like this a lot. It has such a kind feeling. It sounds fresh, but has old fashioned charm at the same time. Is it too close to Arlington? It may get a little bit tongue-twisty. I like Audrey Michelle. Or even Audrey Sailor would be okay. Or maybe…
Audrey Belle
Audrey Emmeline
Audrey Hazel
Audrey Lucille
Audrey May
Audrey Mabel
Audrey Violet
Millie-This is adorable & goes really well w/your crew. It’s kind of nick-namey on its own for my taste. I don’t think it’s horrible though. Just Millie is fine. I personally prefer it as a nn for Camille, Camilla, Emilia, Matilda or Millicent. Millie Grayson sounds nice enough. Is Grayson a family name? Millie Michelle is a bit much. How about…
Millie Sailor-cute!
Millie Adeline
Millie Beatrice
Millie Beatrix
Millie Frances
Millie Juniper
Millie Josephine
Lettie-I think that this is cute for a nn. It’s like Millie. It’d be fine as a full name if that’s what you really prefer. But it’s also nice to have a more formal name to fall back on. I like Violet most. Colette, Juliet (that works, right?), Loretta (meh…not my favorite), Lisset, & Violetta also work. Lettie Grayson, Lettie Michelle or Lettie Sailor (my fave!) all sound nice. Or maybe…
I love Scout and Spencer, but I’ll have a tricky time convincing other half. Mostly, the options I have so far are dwindled down from a lovely long list of gorgeous names that I like but are poo-pooed by the husband Either that or I know someone with the name or a similar name. I love Clover, but I detest Clo, or Chloe, so I’m scratching that.
Grayson isn’t a family name, it’s just one of those names I love. I didn’t get to use it with my 3rd son but I still think it’s gentle and lovely so I figured it might work here. But I’ve seen a lot of excellent options for middles suggested here!
If you’ve got more suggestions for firsts as well, please don’t be shy!
