We maybe threw ourselves into the naming process a little too hard, too fast, and now have lost steam and nothing sounds good. Our last name ([name_m]Irwin[/name_m]) is tricky since it starts with a vowel, and since it’s a boy’s name (we love androgynous names but worry they sound too manly all together).
Our fridge list at the moment:
[name_u]Avery[/name_u]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_u]August[/name_u] - what we call her now, but has the boyish problem, right? And is it weird to have an [name_u]August[/name_u] born in [name_u]August[/name_u]?
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Welcome[/name_f] any suggestions beyond this list!
Arguably having an [name_u]August[/name_u] born in the month of [name_u]August[/name_u] is the least weird choice if selecting that name!
I actually really like [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Irwin[/name_m] and don’t think it’s too masculine. I feel like I’ve noticed [name_u]August[/name_u] trending upward for girls and downward for boys, with [name_m]Augustus[/name_m] picking up more steam.
I also really like [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_m]Irwin[/name_m] and [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] [name_m]Irwin[/name_m] which feel like they fit your style while leaning more definitively feminine.
I like the 3 I mentioned above pretty equally, I think it would come down to the middle name options.
Thanks! Very helpful. Middle name will probably just be my maiden name (a typical “Mc” Irish name), although I do like [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]…
What about [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] or [name_m]Augustine[/name_m]? I really like [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], [name_f]Audrey[/name_f], and [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] from your list.
What about [name_u]Marley[/name_u]? It’s unisex but mostly used for girls. [name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_m]Irwin[/name_m] would be gorgeous!
My first thought for you was [name_f]Augusta[/name_f], which I really like. [name_u]August[/name_u] could be a nickname, but she could write [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] on forms where it would help to have gender clarified. I also quite like [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] with your surname. Other ideas:
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] nn [name_u]Rory[/name_u]
[name_f]Abigail[/name_f] nn [name_u]Abby[/name_u]
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Ada[/name_f]
[name_f]Zelie[/name_f]
[name_f]April[/name_f]
[name_f]Valeria[/name_f] nn [name_u]Vale[/name_u]
I like [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] and [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] best. I would only go with [name_u]August[/name_u] if you choose a middle that is clearly feminine since I would guess [name_u]August[/name_u] was a boy (although it’s definitely on the table for girls because of the Zuckerbergs). [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] is super girly to me so doesn’t go with the style you seem to like.
I love [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_m]Irwin[/name_m]! It makes a charming name, and it’s not weird at all to be born on the name of your month. Auggie is also an adorable nickname! I honestly love all of your other options, even if [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] is more girly. [name_u]Avery[/name_u] would probably be my least favorite, and I prefer [name_f]Lily[/name_f] to Mc-anything (unless it’s McGonagall, that would be rad!). [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] sound well together too!
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] is one of my favorite names, so I was immediately drawn to that, & I think [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_m]Irwin[/name_m] sounds quite nice. I don’t view [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] as a feminissa name—it’s feminine but not frilly. [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Irwin[/name_m]? or [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Augusta[/name_f] [name_m]Irwin[/name_m]? Good luck!
I like [name_u]Avery[/name_u], [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] and [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] for first names from your list
I don’t personally like [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] bc it sounds like you’re identifying a type of flower… same problem with [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]
What about:
[name_u]Avery[/name_u] [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Irwin[/name_m]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_m]Irwin[/name_m]
