Rose has been a favorite since I was about 5. I love the connections to LotR and Doctor Who. It’s my birth flower and it was my husband’s great grandmother’s name. Mary was my grandmother’s name. Dorothea is just a more recent favorite of mine. Kate connects her to my mom, my other grandma, sister, 2 aunts and me. I adore the meaning and sound of Sylva. My husband loves Guinevere. Mikayla would specifically honor my mom, sister and grandma. Which do you like best with Benton Grover, Arwen Elizabeth, Raven Azalea Ann and Jasper Charles Dean?
From this list, I love [name_f]Sylva[/name_f] with your set! She sounds lovely with her sisters and with [name_u]Jasper[/name_u], and in my mind there’s a connection to [name_m]Grover[/name_m] as well because of the trees.
[name_f]Sylva[/name_f] [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] stood out to me, but [name_f]Sylva[/name_f] [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] is an extremely close second–it would be sweet to choose a favorite of your husband, and it’s a lovely literary/legend name too.
@kapaza haha! Thank you! I just have so many names I love. I can’t imagine not using 3 at this point!
@Greyblue@auroradawn@Lula-Rose@samosier24 thank you all for your input! Conversation turned to names again this evening around the dinner table. I showed my husband and kids this poll and your comments. They all agree that [name_f]Arwen[/name_f], [name_u]Raven[/name_u] and [name_f]Sylva[/name_f] sound like the best match. I love the description of them being worthy of a fantasy novel. I asked my husband which [name_f]Sylva[/name_f] combo he liked more and while he agreed that he does love [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f], he chose [name_f]Sylva[/name_f] [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] because he loves the connections to family. So our top boy name for the next baby is [name_u]Jasper[/name_u] [name_u]Charles[/name_u] [name_u]Dean[/name_u] and the top girl name is [name_f]Sylva[/name_f] [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]. It’s funny because that’s the one I would have chosen, but have been looking for something different because I didn’t think my family liked [name_f]Sylva[/name_f] very much!
@benton_s_mama Yay!! I’m so glad your family is in agreement with you about [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]! That would be my first choice for you too, followed by [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Mikayla[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f] because I like the sound and it is a very pretty name!
love that!
Otherworldly.
