TTC & looking for fresh names to add to our stale list!

We have been ttc for over a year now, and this whole time (and also since long before we started ttc) I have been talking, thinking, and daydreaming about names! Our list is starting to seem boring and stale, so I thought maybe I’m missing out on some great names I just haven’t thought of yet. :slight_smile: We are looking for something familiar, but not common, something that doesn’t belong to 5-10 other people we know. We know a LOT of families with kids and babies, so for us that rules out a lot of names we might otherwise consider. So, ANY suggestions would be wonderful!! We’re mostly looking for girls’ names, as we’ve already pretty much decided to name our first son [name]Griffin[/name]. If it helps to know our style, I could tell you all a few names that are on our current list, but I’d kind of like to see a little of what you suggest first… :slight_smile:
Thanks a million!! :slight_smile:

[name]Griffin[/name] and…

[name]Annabel[/name]
[name]Bridget[/name]
[name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Catherine[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name]
[name]Isla[/name]
[name]Iris[/name]
[name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Maeve[/name]
[name]Pearl[/name]
[name]Ruby[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]

I’ll throw a bunch of names out there, and then let me know! If you post a couple names from your current list that would help me get a better idea and not repeat anything already on your list.

But here goes! I’m going to try to suggest a wide variety of name styles! Any with a * are my personal faves!

[name]Mara[/name]*
[name]Daisy[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Cora[/name]
[name]Felicity[/name]
[name]Georgia[/name]
[name]Susannah[/name]*
[name]Seren[/name]*
[name]Helena[/name]*
[name]Juliet[/name]
[name]Julia[/name]
[name]June[/name]*
[name]Juno[/name]*
[name]Adele[/name]
[name]Adela[/name]
[name]Olive[/name]
[name]Luna[/name]
[name]Nala[/name]
[name]Annora[/name]/[name]Honora[/name]
[name]Annika[/name]
[name]Isla[/name]*
[name]Chloe[/name]
[name]Quinn[/name]
[name]Ella[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]

Let me know!

Without knowing your style…

[name]Cassia[/name]?
[name]Junia[/name]?

Thanks for all the suggestions ladies! :slight_smile: There are some great names on these lists! Since I don’t have time to respond to each of you individually, I’ll just list the names that I like from the ones you all have suggested…

  • [name]Bridget[/name] - not sure that I’d actually use this, but I do like it. Hmm, I’ll have to ask my husband what he thinks of it…
  • [name]Caroline[/name]- I think this is a beautiful name, but my husband isn’t sold on it
  • [name]Charlotte[/name]- This is on our list! :slight_smile: If we use it, we’d call her [name]Lottie[/name], which is a family name.
  • [name]Isla[/name]- I wouldn’t use this because of the pronunciation issues, but I love the sound of it.
  • [name]Maeve[/name]- doesn’t work with our last name, but I like it
  • [name]Cora[/name]- I think this is very cute, but we have friends who used it for there little girl
  • [name]Felicity[/name]- [name]LOVE[/name] this! But… My husband tells me it sounds like the name of a boat! :confused: lol!
  • [name]Susannah[/name]- this is one of those names I’d think is cute on someone else’s baby, but I wouldn’t actually use it myself. Does that even make sense? :slight_smile:
  • [name]Seren[/name]- Never heard this, but I think I kinda like it. [name]Do[/name] you pronounce it SAIR-inn?
  • [name]Helena[/name]- I [name]LOVE[/name] this when pronounced Huh-[name]LAY[/name]-na! I don’t like the pronunciation confusion though. :frowning:
  • [name]Julia[/name]- a bit to popular for me, but I think it’s a beautiful name
  • [name]Annika[/name]- Not for me, but I do think it’s cute and spunky! :slight_smile:
  • [name]Ella[/name]- Darling little name! Wouldn’t use it though because it’s Soooo popular.
  • [name]Emmeline[/name]- [name]Love[/name] it! This is on our list :slight_smile:
  • [name]Cassia[/name]- This one has been off and on our list several times. I think it’s pretty when pronounced cass-ee-uh, but have heard of others who would pronounce it cash-uh which I don’t care for at all.

[name]Just[/name] to give you a better idea of our style, here’s a few names from our list:
[name]Coralie[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name] (nn [name]Lottie[/name]), [name]Aria[/name], [name]Lila[/name], [name]Cecily[/name], and for boys - [name]Griffin[/name], [name]Beckett[/name], [name]Weston[/name], [name]Vance[/name]
