So it turns out we are expecting, and the ultrasound tech was 90% sure that it is a girl. I am having a hard time with girls names! There are names I like, but they just don’t feel quite right yet. My husband doesn’t like a lot of the names that I am leaning towards. We really want to use the middle name [name_u]Bliss[/name_u] but it isn’t set in stone. when I mentioned a few names to my daughter [name_u]June[/name_u], she thought my suggestions were “prettier” than her name, so I want something that isn’t too frilly next to [name_u]June[/name_u]. Here are some names we like. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you have any other suggestions that would go well with our other children’s names (in signature)? Thank you!!!
Names I like and he doesn’t like:
[name_f]Eve[/name_f] (I really love this name)
[name_f]Vera[/name_f]
[name_f]Liv[/name_f]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f]
[name_f]Leda[/name_f]/[name_f]Leta[/name_f]
[name_f]Veda[/name_f]
[name_f]Mary[/name_f] ([name_f]Maryanne[/name_f], [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f], or [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] too)
[name_f]Nina[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Nola[/name_f]
Names we both kind of like:
[name_f]Ramona[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] ([name_f]Nora[/name_f]) or [name_f]Nora[/name_f] on its own
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_f]Zara[/name_f]
[name_f]Zelda[/name_f]
Names he loves that I kind of like:
[name_f]Coraline[/name_f] (I like [name_f]Coraline[/name_f], but not [name_f]Cora[/name_f])
[name_f]Zinnia[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] (I like it, it just seems long next to [name_u]June[/name_u])
There are lots of A names I like, but we are trying not to use “A” and “J” since there are 2 A’s and 2 J’s in the family including my husband I, and my son with a “D” name feels left out
I like [name_f]Eve[/name_f], [name_f]Liv[/name_f], [name_f]Zara[/name_f] and [name_f]Coraline[/name_f], though I would use [name_f]Cora[/name_f] as a nn for [name_f]Coraline[/name_f].
Personally [name_f]Zara[/name_f] would be my favourite. Its classical, elegant and feminine
Thank you for your input!! I like that [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] and [name_u]June[/name_u] ([name_f]Junie[/name_f] B. [name_m]Jones[/name_m]) are both characters in books. [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] is also growing on me for [name_u]June[/name_u]'s sibling
Thank you for your input! I am glad you like [name_f]Zara[/name_f]. I really like it too. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you think it sounds good with my other children? I don’t know why I don’t like [name_f]Cora[/name_f] as a nickname anymore. It used to be my favorite, but I love [name_f]Coraline[/name_f]. I love that [name_f]Eve[/name_f] and [name_f]Liv[/name_f] are one syllable like [name_u]June[/name_u]
There is something I love about having a “[name_u]June[/name_u]” and a “[name_f]May[/name_f]” in a roundabout way ([name_f]Maeve[/name_f]). I am going to ask my husband about this one again. We actually named my daughter [name_f]Nora[/name_f] for about an hour, and then changed her name to [name_u]June[/name_u]. haha, I love [name_f]Nora[/name_f], it has just been on our list so long it isn’t as fresh to me anymore
Unlike pretty much all of your names! Particularly [name_f]Zara[/name_f], [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], [name_f]Zelda[/name_f], [name_f]Vera[/name_f] and [name_f]Veda[/name_f]. I would pair [name_u]June[/name_u] with a one or two syllable personally. What about [name_f]Maude[/name_f]? [name_f]Maude[/name_f] can be short for [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], or stand on its own. I just love it!
I love the idea of [name_f]Maude[/name_f] with [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]!! I am not super into [name_f]Tillie[/name_f], and sometimes we call my son [name_f]Atti[/name_f], so [name_u]Matti[/name_u] wouldn’t work. [name_f]Maude[/name_f] would be a fun nn!
Thank you for your input! I am intrigued by [name_f]Maelle[/name_f], I haven’t heard of that one. [name_m]How[/name_m] is it pronounced? It looks pretty. I like [name_f]Greta[/name_f] too!
I love this list! Thank you!
Favorites are [name_f]Lena[/name_f], [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], [name_f]Lola[/name_f] [name_f]Nadia[/name_f]( haven’t thought of this one), [name_f]Olive[/name_f], [name_f]Clover[/name_f], [name_f]Edith[/name_f], and [name_f]Zoe[/name_f]. I have loved [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] for a long time, do you think it could fit in with my other children? I know it’s a lot more popular than their names. That wouldn’t stop me from using it, I just wasn’t sure if it fit. I love the spunky, lively feel.
[name_f]Maxine[/name_f] is amazing! Thank you for your input. I asked my husband about [name_f]Maxine[/name_f] a while ago and he didn’t like it, but I will ask again [name_f]Verity[/name_f] is pretty, and I like the idea of [name_f]Coral[/name_f]. I also like [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]. Thank you!
We actually named my daughter [name_f]Nora[/name_f] for about an hour, and then changed her name to [name_u]June[/name_u]. haha, I love [name_f]Nora[/name_f], it has just been on our list so long it isn’t as fresh to me anymore
