What are your honest thoughts on these girl names…
[name_u]Channing[/name_u] - we can get past [name_u]Channing[/name_u] [name_u]Tatum[/name_u], but that aside what are your thoughts
[name_u]Monroe[/name_u]
[name_m]Jett[/name_m]
[name_u]Blaise[/name_u]
[name_u]Sutton[/name_u]
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f]
Carnation - yes like the flower. It does have some meaning for us. I mean people use [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Iris[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f] etc. right?
[name_u]Phoenix[/name_u]
[name_u]Luca[/name_u]
[name_u]Presley[/name_u]
[name_f]Honor[/name_f]
[name_u]Blue[/name_u]
[name_f]Briar[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
Also any middle name suggestions? And how do you guys feel about two middle names?
I like super unique names as I’m sure you can tell, but please tell me your thoughts on theses names I would really appreciate that.
[name_u]Channing[/name_u] - Yes, it just reminds me of [name_u]Channing[/name_u] [name_u]Tatum[/name_u].
[name_u]Monroe[/name_u] - I like it, but probably more as a middle, I think it would be quite a difficult name to carry.
[name_m]Jett[/name_m] - I like it, but as a nickname for something like [name_f]Jeanette[/name_f] rather than as a given name.
[name_u]Blaise[/name_u] - is a boy’s name to me.
[name_u]Sutton[/name_u] - love
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] - love
Carnation - it’s ok, haven’t though of it as as a name before.
[name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] - don’t like
[name_u]Luca[/name_u] - is a boy’s name to me.
[name_u]Presley[/name_u] - Cute! Again though, probably as a middle.
[name_f]Honor[/name_f] - cute
[name_u]Blue[/name_u] - don’t like
[name_f]Briar[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] - cute
[name_u]Channing[/name_u] - Not my style, and one of my least favorite surname names. Sounds very whiny to my ear.
[name_u]Monroe[/name_u] - Much better than [name_u]Channing[/name_u]! [name_m]Even[/name_m] though it’s not my style, this one appeals to me. A little cute, a little sophisticated.
[name_m]Jett[/name_m] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] this. Simple and cool.
[name_u]Blaise[/name_u] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] this name, but on a boy.
[name_u]Sutton[/name_u] - Better than [name_u]Channing[/name_u], though not my favorite surname name. Sporty but soft. The vibe it gives me is watching the sun set on a farm, which is pleasant enough.
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] - Can’t shake the Biblical association, but on sound alone, I love it!
Carnation - [name_u]Love[/name_u] the idea of a little-used flower name, but Carnation makes me think of the Nestle brand…and Carnie is an obvious nickname. Still, if it holds meaning for you, I don’t think it’s a bad choice. If nothing else, it could make a wonderful middle.
[name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] - Prefer on a boy.
[name_u]Luca[/name_u] - All boy.
[name_u]Presley[/name_u] - Not a fan—very [name_m]Elvis[/name_m].
[name_f]Honor[/name_f] - OK. Perhaps tough to live up to.
[name_u]Blue[/name_u] - Maybe as a middle; otherwise, too [name_f]Beyonce[/name_f].
[name_f]Briar[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] - Too Disney. I like [name_f]Rose[/name_f] by itself, or [name_f]Primrose[/name_f], or [name_f]Bryony[/name_f]/[name_f]Briony[/name_f]…
I don’t know if having two middles creates any legal hassles, but if not, I don’t see anything wrong with it!
[name_u]Channing[/name_u] - All I can think of is [name_u]Channing[/name_u] [name_u]Tatum[/name_u] so makes me think boy name
[name_u]Monroe[/name_u] - Like
[name_m]Jett[/name_m] - Boy name or nickname
[name_u]Blaise[/name_u] - Boy name
[name_u]Sutton[/name_u] - [name_u]Love[/name_u]
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] - [name_u]Love[/name_u]
Carnation - Dislike
[name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] - Maybe for a rockstar’s son
[name_u]Luca[/name_u] - Boy name
[name_u]Presley[/name_u] - Also boy name
[name_f]Honor[/name_f] - Like
[name_u]Blue[/name_u] - More boy or [name_u]Blue[/name_u] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
[name_f]Briar[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] - Disney
I think [name_m]Jett[/name_m] is better for a boy. I don’t think [name_f]Briar[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is useable due to Disney. Carnation might get the nn of Carnie.
Like: [name_u]Monroe[/name_u], Carnation, [name_f]Honor[/name_f], [name_f]Briar[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Delilah[/name_f]
Okay: [name_u]Sutton[/name_u], [name_u]Luca[/name_u] and [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u]
Dislike: [name_u]Channing[/name_u], [name_m]Jett[/name_m], [name_u]Presley[/name_u], [name_u]Blaise[/name_u] and [name_u]Blue[/name_u]
If I had to pick one I’d go for [name_f]Honor[/name_f], [name_u]Monroe[/name_u] or [name_f]Delilah[/name_f]
My favorite combo would be [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] [name_f]Honor[/name_f] or [name_u]Monroe[/name_u] [name_f]Delilah[/name_f]
[name_u]Channing[/name_u] - it does feel very tied to [name_u]Tatum[/name_u], but if I knew a [name_u]Channing[/name_u] I think I would eventually get over it.
[name_u]Monroe[/name_u] - I like this
[name_m]Jett[/name_m] - Its a little out there, but I think it could be pulled off. Everyone would assume it was a boy, if that bothers you.
[name_u]Blaise[/name_u] - I just don’t like it, although I can’t put a finer on why
[name_u]Sutton[/name_u] - Cute, I like it
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] - I don’t particularly like this name personally, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with it and most people would probably disagree with me.
Carnation - I think this is a very cool choice! It would be different, but fun. Would probably be called Carnie.
[name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] - Along the lines of [name_m]Jett[/name_m], would probably appear to be a boy. NMS, but nothing wrong with it.
[name_u]Luca[/name_u] - I do really see this as more of a boys name
[name_u]Presley[/name_u] - Very [name_m]Elvis[/name_m]. Depends on how you feel about that. I don’t like it personally.
[name_f]Honor[/name_f] - I like it
[name_u]Blue[/name_u] - I seem to be in the minority, but I do like this! It does depend on your last name, though. If your last name is a word or similar to one (think [name_m]Lock[/name_m] or Treely or something) it sounds odd. However, if your last name is something like [name_m]Erickson[/name_m] or [name_m]Hernandez[/name_m] or such I think [name_u]Blue[/name_u] would be a very fun name.
[name_f]Briar[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] - just too Disney. I can’t get on board, even though both names are fine. What about just [name_f]Briar[/name_f]?
I think you may have two styles here - more feminine and refined, and more unisex. I would classify [name_f]Briar[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Honor[/name_f], [name_f]Delilah[/name_f], and Carnation as more feminine, and the rest much closer to unisex and edgy. I like best [name_u]Monroe[/name_u], [name_u]Sutton[/name_u], Carnation, and actually [name_f]Briar[/name_f]. I probably wouldn’t use [name_f]Briar[/name_f] and Carnation together, but [name_u]Sutton[/name_u] and [name_f]Briar[/name_f] sound lovely, for instance.
[name_u]Channing[/name_u], [name_u]Monroe[/name_u], [name_m]Jett[/name_m], [name_u]Blaise[/name_u], [name_u]Luca[/name_u], and [name_u]Blue[/name_u] are 100% all boy to me, so I can’t really judge them as a girl’s name. They just don’t strike me as the slightest but girly.
[name_u]Sutton[/name_u] - I love [name_u]Sutton[/name_u]. This one is solidly unisex for me and doesn’t lean one way or the other. It has just enough strength and uniqueness.
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] - Not a huge fan of the full name [name_f]Delilah[/name_f], I think because it reminds me of a radio talk show host I found irritating. So that’s completely a personal connection issue. I adore the shortened [name_f]Lilah[/name_f], though. Spunky, but still soft.
Carnation - I like that it has meaning for you, but it is one of the harsher sounding flower names for me. I could get behind it as a middle name since it’s meaningful for you, but I don’t love it as a first name.
[name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] - I don’t love it as much as [name_u]Sutton[/name_u], but my opinion is quite similar. Firmly unisex with just enough uniqueness to keep you from hearing it all over, but not so much that’s its odd. I love the mythology behind the name, as well. Very powerful.
[name_u]Presley[/name_u] - I like this one. It’s cute. Puts me in mind of names like [name_u]Peyton[/name_u] and [name_u]Paisley[/name_u].
[name_f]Honor[/name_f] - I quite like this one. I think it’s pretty and, besides [name_f]Delilah[/name_f], the most feminine name on the list. It’s a wonderful virtue name and and carries a lot of dignity and strength.
[name_f]Briar[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] - Sleeping Beauty. It’s the only thing I can think of when I hear this combo. [name_u]Love[/name_u] the names separately, but not so much together.
Great list! To start, I think 2 middles can work, but it definitely depends on the number of syllables in the middles and your last name. It really just depends on the flow!
From your list, my favorites are :
[name_u]Monroe[/name_u]
[name_m]Jett[/name_m]
[name_u]Sutton[/name_u]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_u]Presley[/name_u]
[name_f]Honor[/name_f] (also a cute middle)
I don’t have a major problem with any of the others, the above are just my favorites. [name_u]Channing[/name_u] doesn’t quite do it for me but I think for a nice alternative with a similar feel, maybe [name_u]Campbell[/name_u]?
[name_u]Channing[/name_u] – well, since you asked for honest, it makes me think of the part in ‘Ted’ where [name_m]Mark[/name_m] Wahlberg is rattling off a list of white trash names. Or a stereotypical snooty rich girl in a novel meant for middle school girls.
[name_u]Monroe[/name_u]: Too overused for me and too harsh sounding.
[name_m]Jett[/name_m]: Fine on a boy, fine as nickname for a girl.
[name_u]Blaise[/name_u]: Very nice on a boy. Not as big a fan on a girl, but it’s okay.
[name_u]Sutton[/name_u]: I can’t get behind the ‘random American town name’ name trend, sorry.
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f]: I love it!
Carnation: Agree with PP on harshness, unfortunate potential nickname, and better-suited-for-the-middle-ness.
[name_u]Phoenix[/name_u]: I like it, but I think it will get misspelled a lot.
[name_u]Luca[/name_u]: If pronounced Loo-tsa, yes. If [name_f]Lu[/name_f]-ca, no.
[name_u]Presley[/name_u]: Same as [name_u]Monroe[/name_u].
[name_f]Honor[/name_f]: I like it!
[name_u]Blue[/name_u]: Not a fan. Not all nouns make good names.
[name_f]Briar[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]: In a vacuum: lovely! Not in a vacuum: way too princess-y.
[name_u]Channing[/name_u] - I think it could be cute
[name_u]Monroe[/name_u] - I quite like this
[name_m]Jett[/name_m] - I don’t like it
[name_u]Blaise[/name_u] - I love [name_u]Blaise[/name_u]
[name_u]Sutton[/name_u] - I didn’t used to like this one, but I have come around to it some. I like other surnames more.
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] - It’s pretty
Carnation - I think there are a lot of interesting flower names that work better as first names. [name_f]Anthea[/name_f], Lunaria, [name_f]Diantha[/name_f] (related to Carnation)
[name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] - it’s nice, but I think it’s a bit overdone
[name_u]Luca[/name_u] - very cute
[name_u]Presley[/name_u] - not my favorite surname
[name_f]Honor[/name_f] - pretty and quite wearable I think
[name_u]Blue[/name_u] - Very cute, but I would potentially go for a more interesting version, such as [name_u]Cyan[/name_u], [name_f]Veridian[/name_f], Saphhire
[name_f]Briar[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] _- I love [name_f]Briar[/name_f], but I’m not keen on it paired with [name_f]Rose[/name_f].
My honest thougths…I only like [name_f]Delilah[/name_f]. The others don’t really seem unique to me at all…but more at trying to fit in to this generation’s “anything goes” type of names.
When I ask myself…would I want [name_m]Jett[/name_m], or [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u], [name_u]Blaise[/name_u] or [name_u]Blue[/name_u] as my name…or say “[name_m]Hi[/name_m], I’m [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u]”, and it doesn’t resonate with me or I’d feel embarrassed or just anticipate all the questions about being named after a city or a mythical bird…I just can’t…
