Surprise #3 name help!

We have 2 girls, [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] “[name_m]Rafi[/name_m]” [name_f]Celine[/name_f] (4yo) and [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] “[name_f]Luci[/name_f]” [name_f]Paige[/name_f] (15 mo). And surprise baby #3 is on the way. We have no clue how far along I’m (8-10w probably?), so no gender, but names are already making me crazy.

Give me your boy and girl name suggestions!

Bonus points for girls names with nn’s that end in “I”.

Congratulations on your wonderful surprise!
I hope I can be of some help.

Both of your girls have somewhat gender-neutral names, particularly [name_m]Raphael[/name_m], whose name references the renowned renaissance painter. [name_f]Paige[/name_f] is also ambiguous on the gender divide. Following a pattern like this could potentially be an option for a baby girl.

Unisex Names

Nicknames added with girls in mind

[name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] – ‘[name_u]Max[/name_u]’
[name_u]Abbot[/name_u] – ‘[name_u]Abby[/name_u]’
[name_m]Adler[/name_m] – ‘[name_f]Addie[/name_f]’
[name_m]Calloway[/name_m] – ‘[name_f]Callie[/name_f]’
[name_u]August[/name_u]
[name_u]Ari[/name_u] – Could be short for [name_f]Aria[/name_f] or [name_u]Arya[/name_u]
[name_u]Carroll[/name_u] – ‘[name_f]Carrie[/name_f]’
[name_u]Gray[/name_u] – A potential middle name

It’s worth noting that [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] [name_f]Celine[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] [name_f]Paige[/name_f] both have profound meanings. [name_m]Raphael[/name_m]’s name makes reference to religion (meaning ‘god has healed’ and ‘heavenly’) whilst [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] means ‘light’. When choosing a name for baby number three, you might want to look at ones with similarly strong meanings.

Meaningful Names

[name_f]Areli[/name_f] – ‘the light’ or ‘vision of God’
[name_u]Blake[/name_u] – ‘light’
[name_f]Maya[/name_f] – ‘dream, illusion’
[name_f]Mai[/name_f] – ‘ocean/elegance’
[name_f]Asha[/name_f] – ‘desire, will hope’
[name_f]Verity[/name_f]
[name_m]Casimir[/name_m] – ‘announcing peace’
[name_u]Truth[/name_u]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] – ‘happy’
[name_f]Blythe[/name_f] – ‘happy’

[name_m]Raphael[/name_m] and [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] blend well together because the endings aren’t the same and they both carry an old romance kind of charm. Each references light, art and history, and with that in mind, here are some names to suit.

Favourites

  1. [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] [name_f]Celine[/name_f], [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] [name_f]Paige[/name_f] and [name_f]Areli[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f]

[name_f]Areli[/name_f] has the same sort of style as [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] and [name_f]Lucia[/name_f], whilst also being completely individual. The ending isn’t too similar to either of your girls’ names, and as a bonus, can be used on either a boy or a girl. [name_f]Areli[/name_f] has a romantic lilt and can be shortened to [name_u]Ari[/name_u].

  1. [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] [name_f]Celine[/name_f], [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] [name_f]Paige[/name_f] and [name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_u]Gray[/name_u]

[name_f]Florence[/name_f] has airs of [name_f]Italy[/name_f] and romance, just like [name_m]Raphael[/name_m], but doesn’t fall into a predictable set. Easy to nickname, and has plenty of middle name options.

  1. [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] [name_f]Celine[/name_f], [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] [name_f]Paige[/name_f] and [name_m]Cosimo[/name_m] [name_u]Blake[/name_u]

[name_m]Cosimo[/name_m] is a name that ages very well. Paired with [name_u]Blake[/name_u], this combination has a powerful meaning – ‘universe’ and light’ give strength and individuality to the individual. As a bonus, [name_m]Cosimo[/name_m] also works well with [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] and [name_f]Lucia[/name_f].

  1. [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] [name_f]Celine[/name_f], [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] [name_f]Paige[/name_f] and [name_f]Sienna[/name_f] [name_f]Este[/name_f]

[name_f]Sienna[/name_f] is similar to [name_f]Florence[/name_f] and [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] in that it has an ancient-romance feel. Beautiful and refined and easy to pair with middle names, [name_f]Sienna[/name_f] could potentially be a very viable option.

I’ve always loved the name [name_f]Miri[/name_f] - short for [name_f]Miriam[/name_f]. I also met a teen girl by the name of [name_m]Alexei[/name_m] before, which can work for either male or female (can also be spelled [name_u]Alexi[/name_u] - short for [name_u]Alexis[/name_u]). I loved the name on her!
