Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice

I know my threads are probably getting a tad annoying, so I apologize in advance! I’m currently in the process of a huge name sort so I’m hoping to get my list figured out somewhat soon.

I’ve kind of decided on some imagery for what I’m looking for and have a small selection of names that I have decided fit this really well, the trouble is, there’s still quite a few names I really seem to love, but don’t know whether or not they fit the vibe of my present list. I’d love some outside feedback on what would fit nicely and what may need to be nixed from my list.

PLEASE NOTE: my style is probably more modern/trendy so if that’s not your thing, please don’t knock me for liking it. I’m not asking for input on my style - just whether or not they fit with what I currently have !

My current list is: [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], [name_f]Ella[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Hannah[/name_f], [name_u]Aubrey[/name_u], [name_u]Hadley[/name_u], [name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u], [name_u]Everly[/name_u], [name_f]Journey[/name_f], [name_u]Landry[/name_u], [name_f]Ava[/name_f], [name_f]Zoey[/name_f], [name_f]Isla[/name_f], [name_f]Gianna[/name_f], [name_u]Presley[/name_u], [name_u]Reese[/name_u], [name_u]Sailor[/name_u], [name_u]Brinley[/name_u]

These names bring up images of sunny summer days for me - freshly painted toes running through hot sand, waves splashing your legs as you walk along the beach; riding bikes through a quiet neighbourhood with friends, stops for brightly coloured bubblegum ice cream; late night bonfires, roasting marshmellows over the amber coloured flames, eating the gooiest, messiest smore you can possibly make; chasing fireflies and counting stars.

Here’s the pool of names I’m currently on the fence with;

Harbour/[name_u]Harbor[/name_u] (I’m Canadian and feel inclined to use the U spelling), [name_u]Peyton[/name_u], [name_f]Aubriella[/name_f], [name_f]Emma[/name_f], [name_f]Mia[/name_f], [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], [name_u]Avery[/name_u], [name_f]Leah[/name_f], [name_u]Skylar[/name_u], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], [name_f]Harlow[/name_f], [name_f]Avianna[/name_f] (Ay-vee-ah-na), [name_f]Jessa[/name_f], [name_f]Ireland[/name_f], [name_u]Emerson[/name_u], [name_u]Riley[/name_u]/[name_u]Rylee[/name_u], [name_u]Parker[/name_u], [name_u]Finley[/name_u], [name_u]London[/name_u], [name_u]Oakley[/name_u], [name_f]Tenley[/name_f], [name_m]Kensington[/name_m], [name_u]Navy[/name_u], [name_f]Callie[/name_f], [name_f]Brylee[/name_f], [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u], [name_f]McKenna[/name_f]/[name_u]McKinley[/name_u], [name_u]Hayden[/name_u], [name_u]Aspen[/name_u], [name_u]Sutton[/name_u], [name_f]Bria[/name_f], [name_u]Jersey[/name_u].

Which of these names fit the imagery I listed above, in your opinion? OR Which would pair nicely as sisters to my list of favourites??

Can’t wait to hear back from you, berries!

Thanks! xo

Names I think fit your style really well:
Harbour/[name_u]Harbor[/name_u]
[name_u]Peyton[/name_u]
[name_f]Emma[/name_f]
[name_f]Mia[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_u]Avery[/name_u]
[name_u]Skylar[/name_u]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Harlow[/name_f]
[name_u]Emerson[/name_u]
[name_u]Riley[/name_u]
[name_u]Parker[/name_u]
[name_u]London[/name_u]
[name_u]Oakley[/name_u]
[name_f]Callie[/name_f]
[name_f]Brylee[/name_f]
[name_u]Sawyer[/name_u]
[name_u]McKinley[/name_u] (more so than [name_f]McKenna[/name_f], for some reason)
[name_u]Aspen[/name_u]
[name_u]Sutton[/name_u]
[name_f]Bria[/name_f]

Names I don’t think quite fit with the other names on your list:
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f], [name_f]Aubriella[/name_f] and [name_f]Avianna[/name_f] - These feel more flowery than a lot of your other choices.
[name_m]Kensington[/name_m] - This one feels a lot longer than your other names, although I can see some stylistic similarities.
[name_f]Ireland[/name_f] - This name doesn’t seem as modern as the others; it strikes me as a little more quirky, although I also think it could work really well in the right combo.

To be honest, I think all of these names fit your style perfectly well; I’m just splitting hairs here.

My particular favourites for you are:
[name_u]Skylar[/name_u]
[name_f]Harlow[/name_f]
[name_u]Oakley[/name_u]
[name_u]Aspen[/name_u]
[name_u]Sutton[/name_u]
[name_f]Bria[/name_f]

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps!

[name_f]Isla[/name_f] [name_u]Everly[/name_u]

[name_f]Tenley[/name_f] [name_f]Summer[/name_f]

From your on-the-fence list, I think these best fit your aesthetic:
[name_u]Peyton[/name_u]

[name_u]Landry[/name_u] & [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u]
[name_f]Isla[/name_f] & [name_f]Emma[/name_f]

Thank you! I do feel like [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], [name_f]Aubriella[/name_f] and [name_f]Avianna[/name_f] may be a bit too frilly with my list (save [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]), but I do still adore them. I also see how [name_m]Kensington[/name_m] might be a bit long - I was thinking of using the nn Kensie typically, but I suppose that doesn’t change it much, lol.

Oh I adore [name_f]Tenley[/name_f] [name_f]Summer[/name_f]!!! Definitely going to add that to my list!

Thanks [name_u]Abby[/name_u]! I love [name_f]Brynn[/name_f] (not sure about it with surname though), [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] (again with surname), Ensley, [name_m]Berkeley[/name_m], [name_u]Saige[/name_u], [name_u]Kendall[/name_u] (but it never seems to fit for me??), [name_f]Alexa[/name_f], [name_f]Novalie[/name_f], [name_u]Hartley[/name_u] (!!) and [name_f]Carley[/name_f] (though I think I might prefer [name_f]Carly[/name_f] or even [name_f]Karlee[/name_f]). You always have the best ideas for my list!

Thank you! Some of these make for adorable sibsets!!

For me, the ones that fit really well are:

Harbour, [name_f]Aubriella[/name_f], [name_f]Leah[/name_f], [name_u]Skylar[/name_u], [name_f]Avianna[/name_f], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], [name_f]Harlow[/name_f],[name_u]Oakley[/name_u], [name_f]Tenley[/name_f], [name_f]Callie[/name_f], [name_u]Aspen[/name_u] and [name_f]Bria[/name_f]!

Some sibsets:
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] and [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
[name_f]Zoey[/name_f] and [name_f]Bria[/name_f]
[name_u]Landry[/name_u] and [name_u]Skylar[/name_u]
[name_f]Callie[/name_f] and [name_f]Ava[/name_f]
Harbour and [name_f]Journey[/name_f]
[name_u]Sailor[/name_u] and [name_u]Oakley[/name_u]
[name_u]Sailor[/name_u] and [name_f]Harlow[/name_f]
[name_u]Aubrey[/name_u] and [name_f]Harlow[/name_f]
[name_f]Callie[/name_f] and [name_f]Bria[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] and [name_f]Hannah[/name_f]
[name_u]Everly[/name_u] and [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
[name_u]Aspen[/name_u] and [name_u]Hadley[/name_u]
[name_f]Leah[/name_f] and [name_f]Isla[/name_f]

These feel summery to me:

[name_u]Skylar[/name_u]
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
[name_f]Harlow[/name_f]
[name_u]Riley[/name_u]
[name_u]Navy[/name_u]
[name_f]Callie[/name_f]

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] :slight_smile: I’m also Canadian and 23 :slight_smile:

I totally see the imagery you’re talking about. From your list, I would add [name_f]Callie[/name_f], [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u], [name_u]Finley[/name_u], [name_u]Riley[/name_u], [name_u]Avery[/name_u], [name_f]McKenna[/name_f], [name_f]Bria[/name_f] & [name_f]Mia[/name_f]. I think the rest don’t really fit.

Harbour vs [name_u]Harbor[/name_u] - I see the issue here. Would you consider just switching to [name_u]Harper[/name_u]? It’s a super similar sound, however it does lose some of the imagery. That said, I still think it fits in your summer aesthetic.

Oh what a coincidence!!!

I do like [name_u]Harper[/name_u] quite a bit, but not as much as Harbour/[name_u]Harbor[/name_u]? It definitely does lose some of the appeal but it might grow on me! I’ll have to think about it!

I thought of [name_u]Campbell[/name_u] on my way to work for you! It strikes me as a combination of [name_u]Kendall[/name_u] and [name_f]Cambrie[/name_f] (which I know you’ve previously said you liked) if you can’t see yourself with a [name_u]Kendall[/name_u]. I also think [name_u]Merritt[/name_u] or [name_m]Merrick[/name_m] might be nice fits for you. Both seem to be oddly trendy in my area.
