Theoretically...combo suggestions?

Girl Names
1

Hello Berries!
I have finally narrowed down my name list to a few select names which I love for various reasons. [name_m]Just[/name_m] to be clear we are still TTC- yes, I know it’s been a long journey- but perhaps it was this long so we could find the perfect names for us? LOL (I’ll keep telling myself that…)

I am considering this more theoretically at the moment- but “IF” there were twin girls what combos could I use? There is a possibility I could end up with twins as I am now doing double embryo IVF transfers. You never know right?


These are my top girl names and why:
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] as a first name- it holds meaning for us as we had roses at our wedding, the rose is the symbol of love, I have heaps of roses in my garden and even roses engraved on my engagement ring. I like the nn [name_f]Rosey[/name_f] as it sounds merry.

[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] as a first name- I like that it has a very similar sound to [name_f]Chloe[/name_f]- which is my “GP” name, but I feel [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] is just so popular here in [name_m]Oz[/name_m]- even worse it’s popular with bogans. Anyway, in my search to replace [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] I came to love [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]. I adore the meaning- shining bright which makes me think of the light at the end of this tunnel. I like that there is a sense of history to the name too.

Then along came [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]. I adore her now. I like the nn [name_f]Millie[/name_f] if she were a FN or as a cute add on pet name with the first as [name_f]Mae[/name_f] if she were a MN. I love the meaning “battle-mighty”- cause she sure would be. [name_m]Roald[/name_m] Dahl was a favourite author growing up and [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] a wonderful story and character. Of course the link to Australia is perfect with the song “waltzing [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]”.

A single little girl would likely be [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] or [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f].

Top 3 names are:
[name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]

I like the idea of linking the names subtly if there were twins.

Some ideas I have been having:
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Kiara[/name_f] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] ([name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] means Shining bright and [name_f]Kiara[/name_f] meaning [name_m]Light[/name_m])
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] ([name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Iris[/name_f] both flowers- [name_f]Iris[/name_f] has such a rich meaning too)
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Jade[/name_f] ([name_f]Jade[/name_f] and [name_f]Rose[/name_f] are both colours- and both lucky gems I wear)
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Kiara[/name_f] and [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] ([name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] means Shining bright and [name_f]Kiara[/name_f] meaning [name_m]Light[/name_m])
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] ([name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Iris[/name_f] both flowers- and [name_f]Iris[/name_f] has such a rich meaning too)
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] ([name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] both flowers)
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] ([name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f] both flowers)

I feel I have yet to hit the jackpot on a second MN combo for the “IF” twins.

Letters I can’t put after [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] (A,L,O,R) Letters I can’t put after [name_f]Rose[/name_f] (A,I,O).

Then there are all the other names on my signature! Ahh why are there so many wonderful names?!?!

Any great ideas? I want something easy to spell, easy to say, known, yet quirky and spunky (especially with [name_f]Rose[/name_f]). Nothing too frilly- eg [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f], or too Unusual to mainstream population eg [name_f]Xanthe[/name_f].

Thanks in advance,
[name_f]Emilia[/name_f]:stuck_out_tongue:

I like [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] the most! I love them all as individual names, and they include your favourites. As for [name_f]Violet[/name_f]/[name_f]Iris[/name_f] I just like [name_f]Violet[/name_f] more. [name_m]Both[/name_m] work equally well, but neither is perfect. [name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]? That works better because [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] is a 2-1 syllable combo while [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]/[name_f]Iris[/name_f] is 2-2. [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] is 3-2 so that works too.
So, ya. My choice would be [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. Good luck!

I just noticed you couldn’t put the letters r and o after [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]. Can I ask why not? [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_u]Skye[/name_u] is also really nice! [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_u]Skye[/name_u]! [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] is sweet too, :slight_smile:
Other flower names that work with [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]: [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f], [name_f]Acacia[/name_f], [name_f]Azalea[/name_f]. Anything that isn’t 2 syllables.

[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is by far the best but I love all three names. They go together great and don’t make you stuck to any theme.

Thanks for the feedback.
I do have a soft spot for [name_f]Violet[/name_f].
[name_u]Waverly[/name_u]: [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_u]Skye[/name_u] would have meaning for me too- as we have Scottish heritage.
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] is one I keep tossing in the ring actually. It sounds like a nice name to say the whole thing “[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]! I said brush your teeth and get ready for bed…” LOL

Any other thoughts?

[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] are my favorites from your options.

I just love love love [name_f]Rose[/name_f] as a FN, and think [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] is a sweeter pair than [name_f]Millie[/name_f] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]. It can be hard to find a good MN for [name_f]Rose[/name_f] though, especially if most vowels are eliminated (presumably to avoid funny initials? would they really be so bad?). So, I love [name_f]Rose[/name_f] but I don’t love [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]. I would prefer [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], but then you lose the fun flower connection between the names. Hmmm. I actually don’t have any great suggestions, but I’ll keep thinking!

Yes that’s what I’m think- initials. Plus I like to plan well in advance and play the “what if” game- eg If [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] married Mr [name_u]Taylor[/name_u]… her initials would be RAT!

From your list I like [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] best, [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Kiara[/name_f] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] are also lovely. [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] are perfect for sisters.
I also like [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] and [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f].

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] Chellemma
I like many of the combos you suggested.
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] is one I keep returning to funnily enough for the past year.

Recently I am starting to also like [name_f]Sophie[/name_f].

[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] and [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]- both Greek, both with the ‘ph’.
I am now debating (if I manage to get pregnant with 1 girl) [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] as it sounds very soft and melodic to me.
