[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there, my name is Ananda. I’m new to these boards, but not to baby names - I used to post on a different forum, but it’s been a while and I’m dusting off my lists now. Any thoughts or comments on these names? Suggestions of others I might like are also very welcome!
No kids for me for a while, just dreaming here.
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u]
[name_f]Kerensa[/name_f] [name_f]Briar[/name_f]
[name_u]Seren[/name_u] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_u]Harper[/name_u]
[name_f]Zosia[/name_f] [name_f]Liliane[/name_f]
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] Joyeuse
Doroteja (“do-ro-[name_u]TAY[/name_u]-uh”, I don’t have any MN ideas yet)
[name_u]Everett[/name_u] [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m] [name_m]Phelps[/name_m]
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u] Paulus
Léo [name_m]Macaulay[/name_m]
[name_m]Julius[/name_m] [name_u]Dale[/name_u]
[name_u]Sage[/name_u] [name_u]Eliot[/name_u]
Niilo [name_u]Everett[/name_u]
[name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_m]Matthijs[/name_m]
And for the record, some of these are family names - [name_f]Briar[/name_f]/[name_f]Briony[/name_f], [name_f]Isobel[/name_f], [name_u]Vivian[/name_u], [name_f]Iris[/name_f], [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m], [name_m]Phelps[/name_m], [name_m]Macaulay[/name_m], and Paulus all honor family in some capacity.
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u] - lovely combo. The soft [name_u]Wren[/name_u] softens the hard t and d or [name_f]Matilda[/name_f].
[name_f]Kerensa[/name_f] [name_f]Briar[/name_f] - ok but it’s a bit heavy on the r’s. Tongue twister.
[name_u]Seren[/name_u] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] - OK but the “n” of [name_u]Seren[/name_u] blends into the vowel of [name_f]Isobel[/name_f].
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_u]Harper[/name_u] - The first two are enough. I don’t like the trendy and harsh sounding [name_u]Harper[/name_u].
[name_f]Zosia[/name_f] [name_f]Liliane[/name_f] - this is a pretty pairing of Polish and [name_m]French[/name_m] names.
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] Joyeuse - [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] is a word and so is the [name_m]French[/name_m] Joyeuse. Too description. A very happy [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]!
Doroteja - if you live in an English speaking country, pronunciation and spelling issues may arise. Something simple in the middle spot. Doroteja [name_f]Claire[/name_f]?
[name_u]Everett[/name_u] [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m] [name_m]Phelps[/name_m] - too many surnames for my liking.
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u] Paulus - I think I would prefer [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_m]Phelps[/name_m].
Léo [name_m]Macaulay[/name_m] - if you live in [name_u]America[/name_u], the accent may pose a problem. Most people would say it “lee-oh” not “lay-oh”. [name_m]Leo[/name_m] [name_m]Macaulay[/name_m] sounds better than Léo [name_m]Macaulay[/name_m] (ay-ay).
[name_m]Julius[/name_m] [name_u]Dale[/name_u] - a fine combo of classic and contemporary.
[name_u]Sage[/name_u] [name_u]Eliot[/name_u] - since both genders bear these names, this combo is too ambiguous. Is it a boy or girl?
Niilo [name_u]Everett[/name_u] - The double “i” looks odd. [name_m]Milo[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u] would be better.
[name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_m]Matthijs[/name_m] - These two names look fine together even though they’re from different cultures (Italian and Dutch).
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u] - I personally do not care for [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] but this combo is gorgeous.
[name_f]Kerensa[/name_f] [name_f]Briar[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Briar[/name_f].
[name_u]Seren[/name_u] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] - I like this, would love [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] [name_u]Seren[/name_u].
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_u]Harper[/name_u] - I love [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_u]Harper[/name_u].
[name_f]Zosia[/name_f] [name_f]Liliane[/name_f] - I love [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Lilla[/name_f] (lil-ah), [name_f]Lilia[/name_f], and [name_f]Lilian[/name_f]/[name_f]Lillian[/name_f].
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] Joyeuse - I personally do not care for these names.
Doroteja - no
[name_u]Everett[/name_u] [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m] [name_m]Phelps[/name_m] - I prefer one middle name but this has good flow. I love [name_u]Everett[/name_u] and [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m].
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u] Paulus - I love [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], slightly prefer [name_u]Roan[/name_u].
Léo [name_m]Macaulay[/name_m] - do not care for this
[name_m]Julius[/name_m] [name_u]Dale[/name_u] - same
[name_u]Sage[/name_u] [name_u]Eliot[/name_u] - I like [name_u]Sage[/name_u] for a girl. I love [name_u]Elliot[/name_u].
Niilo [name_u]Everett[/name_u] - no
[name_u]Luca[/name_u] [name_m]Matthijs[/name_m] - no
