The time has come

[love.endures]

The time has come. I get to name another child I’m looking for names that have a similar feel to those I’m already fond of, fit the vibe I’m going for, & are meaningful to our family (I realize it’s a shot in the dark to suggest meaningful names to someone you don’t know). My older child’s name is Indig0. Therefore, we would like to avoid any first names that start with “I” or end in “O” I think we want to use 2 middles this time around. You can make combos with our 1st name options, offer new names, or just give an opinion on the ones we have listed. Thank you all for your input! I can’t wait to see what you all come up with.

Names we’re considering:

Summary

Paloma
Delphine/Delphinium (nn Finn/Finny)
Elowen
Kindred
Fable
Fern

Amias

Things that are meaningful to our family:

Summary

Our Christian faith is the most meaningful part of our lives. I love Hebrew names, virtue names, unique biblical word names (I know a little Selah, but if I didn’t that would definitely be a contender).
My husband is a farmer.
I am an artist.
We love nature, herbalism, homeopathy, etc.

I really love the idea of Delphine / Delphinium with the nickname Finn - so sweet!

Voting for Delphine Coral (nn Finn), as I’m loving the oceanic imagery!

From the boys’ names, my fave is Raphael - gorgeous name! I think Raphael Hawthorne makes a lovely combo.

Massive congratulations

[name_u]Indigo[/name_u] [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] is such a beautiful name!

Looking at your top contenders I love [name_u]Kindred[/name_u] and [name_u]Fable[/name_u] as options for Indigo’s sister. I think you need to have a bolder sister option to match with the brightness of [name_u]Indigo[/name_u].

[name_u]Kindred[/name_u] is fabulous so unexpected and sparky. I think [name_u]Kindred[/name_u] is lovely especially with [name_u]Indigo[/name_u]. Looking at middle names for [name_u]Kindred[/name_u] from your list I was automatically drawn to [name_f]Hosanna[/name_f], [name_f]Marigold[/name_f], [name_f]Esther[/name_f], [name_f]Saffron[/name_f], [name_u]Florence[/name_u] and [name_f]Wisteria[/name_f].

[name_u]Kindred[/name_u] [name_f]Wisteria[/name_f] [name_f]Saffron[/name_f]

The other option I love for you is [name_u]Fable[/name_u]. She’s sweet, cosy and has this storybook flair. Looking at your list the middle names I love for [name_u]Fable[/name_u] are [name_f]Persephone[/name_f], [name_u]Valentine[/name_u], [name_f]Augusta[/name_f], [name_u]Evergreen[/name_u], [name_f]Odelia[/name_f] and [name_f]Calanthe[/name_f].

[name_u]Fable[/name_u] [name_f]Odelia[/name_f] [name_u]Evergreen[/name_u]

From your boy options I absolutely love [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] he’s outdoorsy, wholesome, has an angelic flair and sounds gorgeous with [name_u]Indigo[/name_u]. Middle names for [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] that I like from your list are [name_m]Lysander[/name_m], [name_m]Malakai[/name_m] (prefer Malachi), [name_m]Solomon[/name_m], [name_u]Pascal[/name_u], [name_u]Solstice[/name_u] and [name_u]Elm[/name_u].

The other name that I love for you from your boys list is [name_u]Poet[/name_u]. Honestly [name_u]Poet[/name_u] is fabulous! I think [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] + [name_u]Poet[/name_u] just sound so bright, creative and fun. The middle names I like for [name_u]Poet[/name_u] are [name_m]Isaac[/name_m], [name_u]Willoughby[/name_u], [name_m]Reuben[/name_m], [name_u]Shiloh[/name_u] and [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m].

[love.endures]

@cms1512 These are gorgeous!
Viridian Isaac Alcott (Love this combo! I hadn’t considered Veridian, but I will now :))
All of your boy combos have inspired me!
You were right Kindred Luneth Meadow is my favorite from your girl list, but I truly love them all. Narrowing down my favorites is going to be incredibly difficult! Thank you for all of your ideas!

[Parfait_de_Roses]

Congratulations!

Summary

Your daughter has such a stunning name!
[name_f]My[/name_f] favourites from the main girl names list are [name_f]Paloma[/name_f] and [name_f]Elowen[/name_f]. I absolutely looove Dephine/ [name_f]Delphinium[/name_f], but I personally wouldn’t use them because of their similarity to the word ‘dolphin’. I’m also not loving [name_u]Kindred[/name_u], because ‘Kinder Eggs and kindergartens’. I find [name_u]Fable[/name_u] and [name_u]Fern[/name_u] absolutely adorable, but I just can’t picture them on a grownup. But they are trendy right now, so perhaps it’s fine?

From the main boys list my favourites are [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] and [name_m]Amias[/name_m]. I’m not loving [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] (I’m [name_u]Christian[/name_u] myself, but for some reason I just think of [name_u]Shawn[/name_u] the Sheep), [name_m]Enoch[/name_m] sounds like the word ‘eunuch’ and I feel that this name would get some serious bullying. Kids can be so incredibly brutal. [name_u]Winter[/name_u] is just rather feminine for me for some reason and [name_u]Poet[/name_u] has some bullying potential. But [name_u]Poet[/name_u] is rather romantic and it goes well with [name_u]Indigo[/name_u].

[name_f]Meadow[/name_f]
[name_f]Odelia[/name_f]

Would take off the list:

[name_u]Happy[/name_u] - so much pressure to be ‘happy’, also bullying potential.
[name_f]Hadassah[/name_f] - Most people would mistakenly assume it’s a muslim name.
[name_f]Hosanna[/name_f] - I know it’s a Biblical name, but horrible ‘H0e’ jokes will start very early.
[name_u]Jireh[/name_u] - same as [name_f]Hadassah[/name_f]
[name_u]Nightingale[/name_u]
Poema - bullying potential (‘pooema’)
[name_u]Wisdom[/name_u] - same as [name_u]Happy[/name_u]
[name_f]Wisteria[/name_f] - reminds me of the word ‘hysteria’

[love.endures]

Thanks @tori101 you’ve given me a lot to think about. I think you’re right about Fable & Kindred matching the energy of Indigo. Kindred Hosanna Marigold & Fable Odelia Evergreen are perfect! I’m in love
Shepherd Malakai Elm & Poet Willoughby Lowen are lovely! Can you tell I like english word names lol? I think it’s the imagery that appeals to me Thank you so much for your response!!

[love.endures]

Thank you for your response @Parfait_de_Roses You made a bunch of good points that I hadn’t considered before! I’m always trying to picture these names on an adult, but I can get a little carried away lol

[cms1512]

I’m glad! [name_u]Viridian[/name_u] is the name of a beautiful color so it’s a subtle shoutout to sis in a way.

Like I said, excited to see where you land!

[AerieEerie]

Congratulations!

Omg I would be so happy to see someone use [name_m]Omri[/name_m]. Plus, it ends in I and starts with O, the opposite of [name_u]Indigo[/name_u], which is kind of fun! I think [name_m]Amias[/name_m] also makes a great brother name. Have you heard of [name_m]Adlai[/name_m]? It’s another underrated favorite of mine.

[name_u]Fable[/name_u] and [name_u]Kindred[/name_u] are really sweet. I also like [name_f]Paloma[/name_f]!

[love.endures]

Thank you @AerieEerie I’ve never heard of Adlai! He’s lovely I’d love to have a big family, so maybe one day I’ll get to use several of these names. It’s definitely difficult narrowing it down.

[maidcarrion]

We have VERY similar name tastes.

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite combo from your list for a girl is [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] [name_u]Fable[/name_u]. There’s not a double middle, but it’s so perfect, I don’t think it needs it! [name_f]Reverie[/name_f] [name_u]Alma[/name_u]

Other girl names you might like include [name_f]Keturah[/name_f] [name_f]Avonlea[/name_f], [name_u]Meridian[/name_u], [name_f]Reverie[/name_f], [name_u]Seren[/name_u], and the lovely [name_f]Galilee[/name_f] (nicknamed Lili). In fact, I think [name_f]Galilee[/name_f] [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] [name_u]Fable[/name_u] flows quite well together. As does [name_f]Reverie[/name_f] [name_u]Seren[/name_u] [name_u]Blythe[/name_u].

For a boy, I love [name_m]Amias[/name_m], [name_u]Evergreen[/name_u], and [name_m]Hawthorne[/name_m]. [name_m]Amias[/name_m] with either of those works be so handsome!

Other boy names I’d like to pitch for consideration are [name_m]Caspian[/name_m], [name_m]Whittaker[/name_m], [name_m]Lochlan[/name_m], and [name_m]Sayer[/name_m].

[love.endures]

Thank you for all of the wonderful combos you suggested as well as the new names @maidcarrion ! Galilee has me smitten I really do love Amias with Hawthorne or Evergreen. Right now my favorite Amias combo is Amias Winter Hawthorne!
