I have three children and number four may be on their way soon!
[name_f]My[/name_f] children’s names are:
[name_m]Solomon[/name_m] [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] nn [name_u]Ollie[/name_u]
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Bella[/name_f]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_u]Daniel[/name_u] nn [name_u]Theo[/name_u]
Help me get inspired with some names for either gender! I like Old Testament names for the boys. [name_f]My[/name_f] one girl’s name is feminine and sweet which I love. Meanings are important to me too! Throw some ideas my way!
(I assumed that since you like Old Testament names you’d be happy with religious meanings)
With these three, I like…
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] she who brings happiness - how good is this with [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] good fortune
[name_f]Arabella[/name_f] yielding to prayer
[name_u]Florence[/name_u] flourishing
[name_f]Ilaria[/name_f] happy
[name_f]Jemima[/name_f] dove
[name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] beautiful rose
[name_f]Verena[/name_f] or [name_f]Verity[/name_f] truthful
[name_f]Annabel[/name_f] lovable
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f] blessed peacemaking
[name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] immortal
[name_m]Benedict[/name_m] blessed
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] fortunate protector
[name_m]Balthasar[/name_m] god protects the king
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m] laughter
[name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] gift of god
[name_m]Reuben[/name_m] behold a son
[name_m]Abraham[/name_m] father of many
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] has been top of my list for a while now. [name_u]Love[/name_u] that it mirror’s Felicity’s meaning
[name_f]Ilaria[/name_f] is so pretty! I also like [name_f]Verity[/name_f].
Yes any religious or OT names work! The hardest part is so many are common in my circles. I do like [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] and [name_m]Rueben[/name_m] surprisingly!
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m] - [name_m]God[/name_m] is good
[name_m]Caleb[/name_m] - whole hearted
[name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m]- [name_m]God[/name_m] will strengthen
[name_m]Abel[/name_m] - a breath
[name_u]Gabriel[/name_u] - [name_m]God[/name_m] is my strength
[name_m]Abraham[/name_m]
[name_f]Hannah[/name_f]- grace
[name_f]Elise[/name_f]- [name_m]God[/name_m] is my oath
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f]- noble strength
[name_u]Blythe[/name_u] -happy
[name_u]Hilary[/name_u] - cheerful
[name_f]Nicolette[/name_f] - victory of the people
[name_f]Mathilda[/name_f] and [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] are high on my list! I just can’t decide if they are too formal next to the more spirited [name_f]Felicity[/name_f].
So many good ones! Beatrice and Beverly are so sweet - I love them both. Verity and Violet have been on my list too! Josephine is such a stunner but I just don’t love Josie or Joey!
Thank you for all the boy names too! Ambrose is going on my list now!! I love that it has the “O” like Solomon and Theodore. I wish Gideon had a better meaning because I love that about it too!
I know an Evangeline, nn “Ginny” and she is quite zippy too! She’s staying in the list for now though I’d likely pick a different nn! (I’ve always loved that they got Ginny from it though!)
lovely names!!! [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] is one of my personal favorites💕
girls [name_f]Farah[/name_f] or [name_f]Farrah[/name_f]* - “happiness” (how cute would this be with Felicity!!!) [name_f]Alisa[/name_f] - Hebrew for “great happiness” [name_u]Eden[/name_u] - “place of pleasure, delight” [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] - “holy peacemaking, gentle friend” [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] - “she who brings happiness; blessed” [name_f]Allegra[/name_f] - “joyous” [name_f]Arcadia[/name_f] - “region offering peace and contentment” [name_f]Evangelina[/name_f] - “bearer of good news” [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] or [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] - "gift of God“ [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] - “yielding to prayer” [name_f]Eve[/name_f] - Hebrew for “life”
boys [name_u]Asher[/name_u] - “fortunate, blessed, happy one” (Hebrew) / could have “Ash” as a nickname [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] - “son of the right hand” (Hebrew) / could have the cute nickname “Ben” or “Benji” [name_m]Sampson[/name_m] - Hebrew for sun / could have “Sam” or “Sammy” nickname [name_u]Judah[/name_u] - Hebrew for praised (comes with the cute built in nickname Jude) [name_u]Micah[/name_u] - “who is like the Lord” (Hebrew) [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] - “laughter” (Hebrew) [name_u]Noah[/name_u] - “rest, repose" (Hebrew) [name_u]Gabriel[/name_u] - “God is my strength” (Hebrew)
I suddently thought of [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] and Isabelle/Isabella for girls, but other ideas are
Not sure if these are appriopate or not, since I am not in the religions, but…
[name_m]Gideon[/name_m]
[name_m]Malachi[/name_m] (good meaning - my messanger)
[name_m]Josiah[/name_m]
[name_m]Reuben[/name_m]
[name_m]Balthazar[/name_m]
Ishmaël
[name_u]David[/name_u]
Maybe because the [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] I knew was such a sassy, stylish, zippy little girl!
