We are currently ttc baby #1 & dh has been very picky with names I’ve suggested. Today he emailed me a list of names he likes which contained some surprising choices.
[name]Athena[/name]
[name]Arabella[/name]
[name]Avalon[/name]
[name]Aurora[/name]
[name]Beatrice[/name]
Celestria
[name]Esme[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name]
[name]Felicia[/name]
[name]Felicity[/name]
[name]Flora[/name]
[name]Seraphina[/name]
[name]Serena[/name]
I’m not in love with any of them (my turn to be picky), my faves are [name]Arabella[/name], [name]Avalon[/name], [name]Flora[/name] & [name]Serena[/name] I think.
Suggestions of names in a smiler style are appreciated
Nb. he did say he likes names with meaning, not totally sure of what he means by this as he rejected [name]Rosalie[/name] on the basis that it doesn’t have enough meaning yet has [name]Flora[/name] on his list. I shall have to quiz him on this when he gets back from the pub!
My list is very different
[name]Aoife[/name]
[name]Fleur[/name]
[name]Freya[/name]
[name]Isolde[/name]
[name]Juliet[/name]
[name]Juniper[/name]
[name]Lark[/name]
[name]Lydia[/name]
[name]Maeve[/name]
[name]Nola[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]
[name]Roisin[/name]
[name]Rosalie[/name]
[name]Rose[/name]
I like a lot of them, actually! [name]Eleanor[/name] is probably my favorite, followed by [name]Aurora[/name], [name]Arabella[/name], [name]Serena[/name], [name]Seraphina[/name], and [name]Esme[/name]. In no particular order after [name]Eleanor[/name] and [name]Aurora[/name]. 
[name]How[/name] does he feel about [name]Violet[/name]? I would think that would mesh both of your styles very nicely. Or [name]Charlotte[/name]/[name]Scarlett[/name], maybe?
Good luck!
From his list, I absolutely love [name]Felicity[/name], [name]Felicia[/name], and [name]Esme[/name]. From yours, [name]Aoife[/name], [name]Lydia[/name], [name]Maeve[/name], and [name]Rose[/name] are my favorites.

ashthedreamer - i think he likes [name]Violet[/name] as he mentioned it the other day, I’m not sure I love it as a fn thought, but as a middle definitely. I like [name]Scarlett[/name] a lot
[name]Araminta[/name] and [name]Selena[/name] are similar style to his choices. [name]Flora[/name] and [name]Freya[/name] are similar too. I like [name]Isolde[/name], [name]Nora[/name] , [name]Maeve[/name] and [name]Rosalie[/name] from your list and [name]Seraphina[/name] from his.
What about [name]Annora[/name] and [name]Mavis[/name]? [name]Acacia[/name]?
I love a fair few of his names, and I hope a future partner of mine has this great a taste in names! [name]Seraphina[/name], [name]Flora[/name], [name]Esme[/name], [name]Aurora[/name] and [name]Arabella[/name] are gorgeous.
From your list I love [name]Maeve[/name], [name]Violet[/name], [name]Lydia[/name], [name]Fleur[/name], [name]Freya[/name], [name]Violet[/name] & [name]Roisin[/name].
[name]Arabella[/name] [name]Violet[/name], [name]Arabella[/name] [name]Maeve[/name], [name]Arabella[/name] Rosin
[name]Lydia[/name] [name]Seraphine[/name], [name]Lydia[/name] [name]Florence[/name], [name]Lydia[/name] [name]Roisin[/name]

[name]Freya[/name] [name]Violet[/name]
Yes I agree he’s got pretty decent taste. I chatted to him last night & he said he likes old names that have a lot of history, especially mythological names. I like nature names and old names like from Celtic/Arthurian legends so from both our lists [name]Flora[/name], [name]Juniper[/name] (nn [name]Juno[/name]), [name]Isolde[/name] & [name]Avalon[/name] fit with both our tastes.
You guys both have nice lists! Your styles are different but the same all at once. It’s funny. I think you’ll come up with a lovely name
My DH on the other hand suggested [name]Catherine[/name] but we call her [name]Cathy[/name], not “[name]Katie[/name]” like everyone else, [name]Bethany[/name] ([name]Beth[/name]) and [name]Doug[/name]. I always tease him about our kids [name]Beth[/name] and [name]Doug[/name] lol. Seriously though he also said [name]Emilia[/name], [name]Oliver[/name] and [name]Vincent[/name]. Nothing I would actually name my child but nice names at least. Our poor children will always be called [name]Beth[/name] and [name]Doug[/name] by our friends though thanks to my poor husband. Oh - and when looking through the baby name book he saw [name]Isla[/name]… but pronounced it Iz-Lah… he thought it was wonderful. Really? Of all the times he says I have crazy choices he likes Izlah and not [name]Isla[/name] hahaha.
ha Izlah, thats made me laugh Tinabina! Bless men are a bit clueless when i come to names, they seem to think that things are the same as when we were growing up. I had to explain to my hubby that unusual names are not classed as weird anymore & he’s come up with a good list considering he thought [name]Noah[/name] was ‘out there’ a few weeks ago.
I should have known he had good taste when we named our cats ([name]Olga[/name], [name]Anya[/name] & [name]Luna[/name])
