TTC: my list so far... feedback, please!

General Name Discussion
1

Hubby and I are TTC. We have been throwing names around because it’s never too soon to start planning. We’ve always wanted a big family & so this hopefully won’t be our last child. Anyway, you can see our kids’ names in my signature but here is our list so far. Please let me know what you think. Thanks!

Boys:
[name]Jefferson[/name]
[name]Bennett[/name]
[name]Linden[/name]
[name]Maxwell[/name]
[name]Remington[/name]
[name]Callum[/name]
[name]Theodore[/name]

Girls:
[name]Charlotte[/name] nn [name]Charlie[/name]
[name]Arabella[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] nn [name]Penny[/name]
[name]Elisabeth[/name] nn [name]Ellie[/name]
[name]Julianna[/name]
Lucianna nn [name]Lucy[/name]
[name]Rosalie[/name] nn [name]Rose[/name]/[name]Rosie[/name]
[name]Coralie[/name] nn [name]Cora[/name]
[name]Vivienne[/name]
[name]Elodie[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name]

We are still unsure of middle names but we like short middle names as you can tell from my signature :slight_smile: Thank you!

I love [name]Archibald[/name] and [name]Sebastian[/name] together! [name]How[/name] cute. :slight_smile:

I don’t think you can go wrong with any of the names on your list so far. The only thing that strikes me is that if you choose another name that ends with the “n” sound, then 3/4 of the kids will have that ending. Because of that I’d be more inclined to choose a non-“n” ending. I especially like [name]Bennett[/name], [name]Callum[/name], or [name]Theodore[/name] for the boys, and [name]Coralie[/name], [name]Elodie[/name], or [name]Eleanor[/name] for the girls.

If you’re looking for reasons to rule out more names, you can try to stay away from repeating first letters, too. So no [name]Arabella[/name] or [name]Maxwell[/name]. But that’s minor.

Great names!

My favorites from your list are [name]Bennett[/name], [name]Maxwell[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name] and [name]Elodie[/name]. I don’t like “-son” names, so I dislike [name]Jefferson[/name] by default. [name]Remington[/name] isn 't really my style either, but the rest of your boys names are good. I like all of your girls names, they’re great!

4

I am in [name]LOVE[/name] with so many of your names! We have similar styles and many of those are on my own lists for some day.

Of your boys I love [name]Bennett[/name], [name]Theodore[/name] and [name]Maxwell[/name] the most. [name]Theodore[/name] gets my vote for the sibset though.
And of girls I love [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Penelope[/name], [name]Vivienne[/name] and [name]Elodie[/name], but I think [name]Penelope[/name] or [name]Charlotte[/name] work with [name]Madeleine[/name] and the boys names best though.

Some possible middle suggestions:
[name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Gray[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name] [name]June[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Rue[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Rain[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Snow[/name]

[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Quinn[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Sage[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]True[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Rue[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Gray[/name]

[name]Theodore[/name] [name]Colt[/name]
[name]Theodore[/name] [name]Knox[/name]
[name]Theodore[/name] [name]Penn[/name]
[name]Theodore[/name] [name]Birch[/name]
[name]Theodore[/name] [name]Knight[/name]/[name]Night[/name]

[name]Love[/name]
[name]Theodore[/name]- I love how [name]Theodore[/name] sounds with your other children’s names! This would be my first choice for a boy
[name]Remington[/name]- A bit unusual, but sounds so classy, but also like it could be a little boys name
[name]Bennett[/name]- I love [name]Ben[/name]- names so much, and [name]Bennett[/name] is one of my favorites!
[name]Penelope[/name]- My favorite name for a girl, and I love it with your family too!
[name]Coralie[/name]- so pretty and different
[name]Vivienne[/name]-Goes with your daughters french name and is one of my favorite names

I love your style! [name]Theodore[/name] and [name]Arabella[/name] are the ones that really caught my attention, partly because I love those names and I think they go so well with your other children.

[name]Archibald[/name], [name]Sebastian[/name], [name]Madeleine[/name] & [name]Theodore[/name] would be gorgeous!

[name]Theodore[/name] [name]Gray[/name], [name]Theodore[/name] [name]Atlas[/name], [name]Theodore[/name] [name]Bay[/name], [name]Theodore[/name] [name]Drake[/name], [name]Theodore[/name] [name]Miles[/name], [name]Theodore[/name] [name]Scott[/name], [name]Theodore[/name] [name]Blake[/name]?

I could also [name]Bennett[/name], [name]Remington[/name] and [name]Maxwell[/name] fitting perfectly in there too. [name]Bennett[/name] [name]Cole[/name], [name]Bennett[/name] [name]Rhys[/name], [name]Bennett[/name] [name]Joel[/name]? [name]Remington[/name] [name]Lee[/name], [name]Remington[/name] [name]James[/name], [name]Remington[/name] [name]Kane[/name], [name]Remington[/name] [name]Grant[/name]? [name]Maxwell[/name] [name]Flynn[/name], [name]Maxwell[/name] [name]Jude[/name], [name]Maxwell[/name] [name]Dean[/name]?

As for the girls I do think [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Elisabeth[/name], [name]Vivienne[/name] and [name]Elodie[/name] would fit best, as well as [name]Arabella[/name]. [name]Arabella[/name] [name]Maeve[/name], [name]Arabella[/name] [name]Jane[/name], [name]Arabella[/name] [name]Scout[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Hope[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Ruth[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Greer[/name], [name]Vivienne[/name] [name]Rose[/name], [name]Vivienne[/name] [name]Claire[/name], [name]Vivienne[/name] [name]Ferne[/name], [name]Vivienne[/name] [name]Lux[/name], [name]Elodie[/name] [name]Grace[/name], [name]Elodie[/name] [name]Pearl[/name], [name]Elodie[/name] [name]Kate[/name], [name]Elodie[/name] [name]Mae[/name]?

[name]Love[/name] your list!

Boys: [name]Bennett[/name], [name]Callum[/name] and [name]Theodore[/name] are great handsome names. I think that [name]Theodore[/name] is the best match with your other boys.

Girls: I like all of these.
[name]Charlotte[/name] nn [name]Charlie[/name] - great fit with [name]Madeleine[/name]
[name]Elisabeth[/name] nn [name]Ellie[/name] - [name]Love[/name] this as a fn. Would you consider other nn? [name]Libby[/name] is my fave.
[name]Julianna[/name] - beautiful feminine name. [name]Julia[/name] would be nice as well.
[name]Rosalie[/name] nn [name]Rose[/name]/[name]Rosie[/name] -this is probably my favorite from your list. [name]Rose[/name] would be great too.
[name]Elodie[/name] - this would be your least common option. Very French.

My favorites:

[name]Jefferson[/name]
[name]Bennett[/name]

[name]Penelope[/name]
[name]Rosalie[/name]
[name]Vivienne[/name]

13

[name]Jefferson[/name]- lovely Old American feel
[name]Bennett[/name]- very classy
[name]Linden[/name]- sweet but grounded
[name]Maxwell[/name]- not my favourite [name]Max[/name]- name but like it
[name]Remington[/name]- I think of the typewriter brand, but for me that’s a good thing. very historical
[name]Callum[/name]- unusual and fresh
[name]Theodore[/name]- old-fashioned and gallant

[name]Charlotte[/name]- a beautiful classic but I don’t like [name]Charlie[/name]
[name]Arabella[/name]- frilly and dramatic yet not too much so
[name]Penelope[/name]- love both [name]Penelope[/name] and [name]Penny[/name]! spunky yet sweet
[name]Elisabeth[/name]- prefer [name]Elizabeth[/name] but love both. [name]Ellie[/name] is okay. another lovely classic
[name]Julianna[/name]- feminine and fancy
Lucianna- don’t like [name]Lucy[/name], prefer [name]Luciana[/name] (Italian prn.) with its exotic European flair
[name]Rosalie[/name]- sweet name but I’ll always think of a despicable fictional [name]Rosalie[/name] (in [name]Agnes[/name] [name]Grey[/name])
[name]Coralie[/name]- a bit too whimsical for me, but cute
[name]Vivienne[/name]- dramatic Hollywood feel
[name]Elodie[/name]- not a fan
[name]Eleanor[/name]- strong, grounded and timeless

My favourites are [name]Bennett[/name] and [name]Theodore[/name] for boys. [name]Penelope[/name], [name]Eleanor[/name] and [name]Arabella[/name] for girls.

14

I think [name]Vivienne[/name] and [name]Theodore[/name] are perfect with your sibset!

15

Thanks everyone! I think we are really liking [name]Theodore[/name], [name]Callum[/name], & [name]Jefferson[/name] as our top boys’ names.
As for our girls, we like [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Penelope[/name], [name]Vivienne[/name] & [name]Arabella[/name] as front runners. (although I still adore all my girl names but Hubby is being difficult so I had to try and narrow). I still need help narrowing! Maybe to top 2?
I like [name]Theodore[/name] [name]Banks[/name] as suggested but it doesn’t click yet for me. Definitely my style though so more suggestions would be appreciated. :slight_smile: thanks!

Boys:
[name]Jefferson[/name] - Too middle-aged, especially with the nickname [name]Jeff[/name].
[name]Bennett[/name] - A surname to me, my cousins have the surname [name]Bennett[/name].
[name]Linden[/name] - It’s okay, just doesn’t fit with your other son’s names.
[name]Maxwell[/name] - Nice, although I think [name]Max[/name] is pretty popular at the moment.
[name]Remington[/name] - A haircare brand in the UK.
[name]Callum[/name] - [name]Love[/name] [name]Callum[/name]!
[name]Theodore[/name] - Think this is perfect for your family. Nickname could be [name]Theo[/name] which I love! You’d have an [name]Archie[/name], a [name]Seb[/name] & a [name]Theo[/name]! Gorgeous!!

Girls:
[name]Charlotte[/name] - It’s okay, bit too common for my liking though. [name]Don[/name]'t like the masculine nickname, prefer [name]Lottie[/name].
[name]Arabella[/name] - Nice but could sound a tad snobby.
[name]Penelope[/name] - Very cute! [name]Love[/name] the nickname [name]Penny[/name]! Although if you call your little girl [name]Maddy[/name], it’s very rhymy!
[name]Elisabeth[/name] - Again, too common for me!
[name]Julianna[/name] - It’s okay, could have the nickname [name]Anna[/name] which I like.
Lucianna - Prefer just [name]Lucy[/name] on it’s own.
[name]Rosalie[/name] - Prefer [name]Rosa[/name] or [name]Rosemary[/name].
[name]Coralie[/name] - [name]Don[/name]'t really like the ‘cor’ bit!
[name]Vivienne[/name] - Very nice, although it has the same sort of sounds as [name]Madeleine[/name].
[name]Elodie[/name] - Not my favourite but it’s okay.
[name]Eleanor[/name] - Overused!

I think you should go with:
~ [name]Theodore[/name] (nickname [name]Theo[/name])
~ [name]Rosalie[/name] (nickname [name]Rosa[/name])

:slight_smile: Good luck!
