Third Baby naming struggles

Third time around has been so hard! We won’t be finding out the gender. We have a girls name picked out but have gone around in circles for boys names. Nothing feels quite right.

[name_f]My[/name_f] daughter insists if the baby is a girl we will call it [name_u]Jessie[/name_u] (Toy [name_u]Story[/name_u] reference). While I find it cute for a girl it’s not my first pick. But for a boy? I don’t mind it! It’s classic-cool to me. I kind of love the idea that our daughter inspired her siblings name though.

Siblings are [name_u]Indiana[/name_u] and [name_u]Tully[/name_u]. I usually love unusual and gender neutral names but have found myself drawn to some more classic names this time around. I do like to steer clear of the top 20 lists.

girl names are:
[name_f]Poppy[/name_f]
[name_u]Jessie[/name_u] (daughters pick)
[name_f]Sienna[/name_f]

boy names:
[name_u]Jesse[/name_u] (inspired by daughter)
[name_u]Cooper[/name_u]
[name_u]Frankie[/name_u]
[name_u]Richie[/name_u]
[name_u]Bobby[/name_u]
[name_u]Lou[/name_u] (Louis)

Wow, your kids names are amazing!! I love them, you have good taste! :wink:

I love the idea of [name_u]Jessie[/name_u] - inspired by big sis! I think it works best as a boy name with your sibset! I really love [name_u]Jesse[/name_u] (and [name_u]Jessie[/name_u] on a girl!) - he’s one of my favourite names. [name_u]Super[/name_u] versatile, friendly, cool and fun!
[name_u]Indiana[/name_u], [name_u]Tully[/name_u] & [name_u]Jesse[/name_u] :seedling:

Out of your girls list, [name_f]Sienna[/name_f] goes best in my opinion. It has lovely charm and the same vibe as your other kids.

For the girlies, I’d like to suggest…
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u] - offers the sweet nickname [name_f]Junie[/name_f], has the same spunkiness and vibes as your other names
[name_f]Luella[/name_f] - cute vintage charm with lots of lovely nicknames!
[name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] - is it too similar to [name_u]Tully[/name_u]? I’m not sure but I think it’s so pretty.
[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] - Nickname [name_u]Scout[/name_u]!
[name_u]August[/name_u] - I suggest this for both genders!

For boys - apart from [name_u]Jesse[/name_u] - I love [name_u]Cooper[/name_u] for you! I also love [name_u]Lou[/name_u] on a boy.

Best of luck finding the name! I know it will be perfect. :woman_cartwheeling:t3::blossom::strawberry:

Of the girls’ names, I’d probably pair [name_f]Sienna[/name_f] with [name_u]Indiana[/name_u] and [name_u]Tully[/name_u].

Here are some other suggestions:

[name_u]Ever[/name_u]
[name_f]Magnolia[/name_f]
[name_f]Olive[/name_f]
[name_f]Ariella[/name_f]
[name_u]Harley[/name_u]

Of the boys’ names, I would say [name_u]Jesse[/name_u] maybe gives more middle name feels because the other sibs have such unique names. Maybe:

[name_m]Knox[/name_m] [name_u]Jesse[/name_u]
[name_u]Beckett[/name_u] [name_u]Jesse[/name_u]
[name_u]Lennox[/name_u] [name_u]Jesse[/name_u]
[name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] [name_u]Jesse[/name_u]
[name_m]Maximus[/name_m] [name_u]Jesse[/name_u]
[name_m]Francisco[/name_m] [name_u]Jesse[/name_u]
OR
[name_u]Jesse[/name_u] [name_u]Chase[/name_u]
[name_u]Jesse[/name_u] [name_u]Cooper[/name_u]
[name_u]Jesse[/name_u] [name_m]Louis[/name_m]
[name_u]Jesse[/name_u] [name_u]Tate[/name_u]
[name_u]Jesse[/name_u] [name_u]Orion[/name_u]

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps! :slight_smile:

Congratulations :tada:

[name_u]Indiana[/name_u] + [name_u]Tully[/name_u] are so cool very outdoorsy with a southern flair such a fabulous name.

I love [name_u]Jesse[/name_u] for a boy I think [name_u]Jesse[/name_u] is absolutely fabulous he just works so wonderfully. [name_u]Jesse[/name_u] is bright, outdoorsy and fun. The perfect brother for your kiddos and I love how using [name_u]Jesse[/name_u] pays homage to your daughter’s wants for her newest sibling.

Regarding the girls my favourite is [name_f]Poppy[/name_f]! She’s sweet, feminine and I think feels so fun with [name_u]Indiana[/name_u] and [name_u]Tully[/name_u]. Still I’m not sure whether you’ve found the right choice so far.

I wanted to put forward some girl name suggestions (please count any repeats as me being in agreement with the berries)

[name_u]Indiana[/name_u], [name_u]Tully[/name_u] and…
