Thoughts on our name choices

We’re currently expecting #4, a brother or sister for [name_u]Kai[/name_u], [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] and [name_f]Iris[/name_f].

If it’s a boy, we’re thinking of calling him:

“[name_m]Atlas[/name_m] [name_u]Campbell[/name_u] W…” ([name_u]Campbell[/name_u] was my mother’s maiden name, she passed away two years ago.)

And for a girl:

“[name_u]Robin[/name_u] [name_f]Willow[/name_f] W…” ([name_u]Robin[/name_u] was my mom’s first name :slight_smile: )

[name_f]Do[/name_f] you think [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] is too out-there next to our other kids’ names? And do you think [name_f]Willow[/name_f] next to a two syllable “W” lastname is too much?
Thanks!

I think [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] is gorgeous, and if it fitted a little more with my favourites I’d consider it! I think [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] will be fine in the sibset, as will [name_u]Robin[/name_u].

[name_u]Robin[/name_u] seems a little less girly than [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] and [name_f]Iris[/name_f], but it still works.

I like [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] with your other kiddos (and love the name, obviously)!

I also really like [name_u]Robin[/name_u], and think [name_u]Robin[/name_u] [name_f]Willow[/name_f] sounds nice and makes [name_u]Robin[/name_u] more girly. I figure, the first and middle name need to flow well, and the first and last name need to flow well. If the middle and last are a little awkward, it’s not a big deal - how often do you actually say your first, middle and last name aloud?

I think [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] goes very well with the rest of your babies :slight_smile:
Also, [name_u]Robin[/name_u] [name_f]Willow[/name_f] is a beautiful name and makes me think of spring (therefore sun, flowers, new life etc). And unless you’re yelling at her, the first, middle, and last names rarely are joined together.

I’m not a fan of [name_m]Atlas[/name_m], but I do like the idea of honouring your mother who has passed and her side of the family. [name_m]How[/name_m] about:
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m]
[name_m]Benjamin[/name_m]
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]
[name_m]Dominic[/name_m]

I love [name_m]Atlas[/name_m]…and I actually really like it with your sibset. I think it’s whimsical while still being very grounded and masculine. I [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] it! I especially love the combo [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] [name_u]Campbell[/name_u]. So striking, [name_f]IMO[/name_f].

[name_u]Robin[/name_u] [name_f]Willow[/name_f] is a bit too hippy for my personal tastes, but they flow nicely together. :slight_smile:

Congrats, Good [name_m]Luck[/name_m] & [name_f]Happy[/name_f] Naming!

I really like [name_u]Robin[/name_u] with your kids, especially since it’s your mothers name. [name_u]Robin[/name_u] [name_f]Willow[/name_f] is gorgeous.
[name_m]Atlas[/name_m], while I like it, seems just a bit out of place with your children’s names, especially with brother [name_u]Kai[/name_u]'s.
However, loving the name on it’s own is the most important thing, so I’d say go for it!

I love [name_u]Robin[/name_u] [name_f]Willow[/name_f]. [name_f]Lovely[/name_f].
I’m not overkeen on [name_m]Atlas[/name_m]. It is an extremely weighty name, too much so for my taste.

[name_f]Love[/name_f] your children’s names! [name_f]Iris[/name_f] is one of my favorites.

[name_m]Atlas[/name_m] is so cool. It is just unique and awesome. [name_u]Campbell[/name_u] goes well with it too, although I will add that I only know girls with this name now (although it seems more boyish to me.)

As for [name_u]Robin[/name_u] [name_f]Willow[/name_f]… it’s too nature-y for me. I love nature names but don’t like the idea of pairing two together…it can sound cheesy [name_f]IMO[/name_f]. I would suggest [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_u]Robin[/name_u] - that way you are honoring your mom, getting the same sound that’s in [name_f]Willow[/name_f], and also picking a name that fits with your others even better. You seem to like throwback names and [name_f]Willa[/name_f] is just that!

I love all your current children’s names! Beautiful!

I think [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] [name_u]Campbell[/name_u] goes beautiful with what you already have and the flow is awesome. A definite yes!

To me “[name_u]Robin[/name_u]” is a little dull… But I understand it is your moms name and I appreciate that. If you are set on it and it is special to you, use it! There is nothing wrong with it, but it is fairly different from your other name choices.

[name_f]May[/name_f] I suggest:

[name_f]Willow[/name_f] [name_u]Robin[/name_u] (I feel willow as a first names fits better with [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] and [name_f]Iris[/name_f])
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] [name_u]Robin[/name_u]
[name_f]Elsa[/name_f] [name_u]Robin[/name_u]

Or… Another way to honor your mom… Use a different bird name?

[name_f]Lark[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f]
[name_u]Wren[/name_u] [name_f]Lorraine[/name_f]

Whatever you choose, good luck and I’m sure it will fit your child beautifully :slight_smile:

Those are both lovely names and I don’t think there’s a problem with the sibset as a whole because it doesn’t seem like the other children were named with a specific style in mind ([name_u]Kai[/name_u] being very different from [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] and [name_f]Iris[/name_f] imo). However, I’m surprised that no one’s mentioned the similarity of sound between [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] and [name_f]Iris[/name_f]. For me, that would be a deal breaker. As another poster said, [name_u]Robin[/name_u] [name_f]Willow[/name_f] does have a very strong nature theme but I personally find it charming. Good luck!

I don’t like [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] at all. I think [name_u]Robin[/name_u] will be perfectly fine with your other children’s names though.
