My guy and I have been thinking about names, even though babies are still a bit in the future. Our last name is [name_u]Reid[/name_u], and we both have common first names. We came up with a few guidelines for what we really want, but of course the rules can always be broken.

That being said, what would you lovely namers come up with?
I’m just going to make some first name suggestions (and I don’t know which meanings you’d be on board with so I haven’t really factored that in). My main strategy was to stay away from names that have long "e"s in the syllables that are stressed:
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_u]Reid[/name_u]
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] [name_u]Reid[/name_u] (feels more popular perhaps because of all the Isabellas)
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_u]Reid[/name_u]
[name_f]Natalia[/name_f] [name_u]Reid[/name_u]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_u]Reid[/name_u]
[name_f]Cecily[/name_f] [name_u]Reid[/name_u]
[name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] [name_u]Reid[/name_u]
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f] [name_u]Reid[/name_u]
[name_u]Cassidy[/name_u] [name_u]Reid[/name_u]
[name_f]Annabel/name_f [name_u]Reid[/name_u]
[name_f]Sienna[/name_f] [name_u]Reid[/name_u]
[name_f]Fiona[/name_f] [name_u]Reid[/name_u]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_u]Reid[/name_u]
[name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f]/[name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f] [name_u]Reid[/name_u]
[name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] [name_u]Reid[/name_u]
[name_f]Celeste[/name_f] [name_u]Reid[/name_u]
[name_f]Anya[/name_f] [name_u]Reid[/name_u]
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_u]Reid[/name_u] (can’t decide if two one-syllable names together is too abrupt a combo)
[name_f]Harlow[/name_f] [name_u]Reid[/name_u]
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_u]Reid[/name_u]
[name_f]Colette[/name_f] or [name_f]Nicolette[/name_f] [name_u]Reid[/name_u]
[name_f]Johanna[/name_f] [name_u]Reid[/name_u]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_u]Reid[/name_u]
[name_f]Maryam[/name_f] [name_u]Reid[/name_u], which reminds me of…
[name_f]Miriam[/name_f] [name_u]Reid[/name_u], and then…
[name_u]Meredith[/name_u] [name_u]Reid[/name_u]
[name_u]Simone[/name_u] [name_u]Reid[/name_u]
