My husband and I have a GREAT girls list. I mean, we absolutely love the names. I think they equally represent the taste of both my husband and I-
[name]Cora[/name] [name]Annaliese[/name]
[name]Ivy[/name] [name]Louisa[/name]
[name]Lily[/name] [name]Sophia[/name]
Boys names… not so much. My husband likes the first names much more than I do, and so I have had main control over middle names. But while the girls names we just adore, the boys names seem lacking. Here is what we have-
[name]Merrick[/name] [name]Liam[/name]
[name]Callen[/name] [name]Thomas[/name]
[name]Konrad[/name] [name]Isaac[/name] (I really dislike [name]Konrad[/name], and love [name]Isaac[/name], and my husband is the opposite!)
[name]Forrest[/name] [name]Cruz[/name] (We just came up with this last night. I like both [name]Forrest[/name] and [name]Cruz[/name], my husband likes [name]Cruz[/name] but just as a middle name.I don’t think [name]Forrest[/name] [name]Cruz[/name] flows well though.)
Some other names we like-
[name]Kade[/name]
[name]Kier[/name]
[name]Oakley[/name]
[name]Fisher[/name] (adventerous and cute or a dogs name? hmmm…)
[name]Taj[/name] (husband loves, i am on the fence.)
[name]Luca[/name]
[name]Cyrus[/name] (cute, but definitley doesnt work with our last name)
To describe my taste- I like familiar names with a layed back/surfer feel. I love [name]Noah[/name] and [name]Levi[/name], but my husband does not like biblical names at all. I like a strong name that can be versatile. I don’t like [name]Taj[/name] because it seems incomplete. The names I picked from our list- [name]Kier[/name](I liked kieran but husband only likes the short fortm), oakley, luca, liam, callen, [name]Isaac[/name], forrest, and cruz.
My husbands taste- he likes familiar names that he doesn’t hear very much. Like [name]Cyrus[/name], [name]Ignatius[/name], [name]Merrick[/name], [name]Taj[/name] and Koonrad were all his picks.
So I guess we are looking for suggestions that will meet that happy middle ground of familiar, yet unusual, strong, but layed back names. Hard fit, I know! Thanks for the help though!
