[name]Hi[/name] all!!

I know that I have not been on here for a long time. It has been about 5 or 6 months since I have really been around this board. Before that I was trying to get pregnant, as some of you may know, it was a long journey with infertility. I am now about 5 months pregnant and my dh is finally really into talking about and eliminating names and combo’s.

So with that said we used the names we narrowed down before we got pregnant and I have made combo’s and ran them past dh. The following are the narrowed names for girls. I will do a post of the boys combo’s later. Please pick your favorite(s) combo’s for each name set…

[name]Rogue[/name] [name]Anastasia[/name]
[name]Rogue[/name] [name]Phaedra[/name]
[name]Rogue[/name] [name]Adriel[/name]
[name]Rogue[/name] [name]Adelaide[/name]

[name]Thea[/name] [name]Waverly[/name]

Demand of dh sorry ladies I know it is a weird spelling but he likes it and I just had to compromise to keep it. I just could not let it go.

Ooooh. Some nice names there! I’ll pick my favourites:
[name]Thea[/name] [name]Hermione[/name]
Prim [name]Elektra[/name] (although I would use [name]Primrose[/name] nn Prim for the flow)
[name]Merida[/name] [name]Colette[/name] (I do love some of the other mn they just don’t go with all the rrrr’s)

My AMAZING combos: [name]Thea[/name] [name]Hermione[/name] [name]Wren[/name] [name]Duffey[/name]
[name]Primrose[/name] [name]Elektra[/name] [name]Duffey[/name]

You have a neat list!

I don’t like the connotation of [name]Rogue[/name] for a person’s name, so those combos are out for me.
[name]Thea[/name] is lovely! Judging from the other names that you like, you might also like [name]Althea[/name], though [name]Thea[/name] on its own is just fine!
[name]Thea[/name] [name]Waverly[/name] and [name]Thea[/name] [name]Seraphine[/name] are my favorite combos.

[name]Petra[/name] just isn’t my style for some reason.

I don’t like [name]Aster[/name] much because: It has a harsh sound, the first syllable has teasing potential, and the name sounds like “asked her”

Phifer/[name]Fifer[/name] is fun and spunky! I don’t think it goes very well with your last name though. : / Would you consider [name]Piper[/name]? [name]Piper[/name] [name]Adelaide[/name] would be really nice!

Prim is kind of neat, but all I can think of is “prim and proper.” Maybe [name]Primrose[/name] nn Prim?

Pronunciation will be tough with [name]Anais[/name], but it’s a pretty name. You might also like [name]Raisa[/name].

[name]Merida[/name] is really pretty! I think I like [name]Merida[/name] [name]Esme[/name] best. It flows nicely.

[name]Hope[/name] that helps!

Congrats on your pregnancy!

[name]Petra[/name] [name]Seraphine[/name] and [name]Thea[/name] [name]Seraphine[/name] are my favorites of your combos! I also think [name]Petra[/name] [name]Anastasia[/name] or [name]Thea[/name] [name]Colette[/name] would be lovely :slight_smile:

I agree with one of the previous posters that [name]Rogue[/name] is not a great name for a person (dictionary definition: “a dishonest, knavish person; a scoundrel; a tramp or vagabond”).

11

[name]Merida[/name] [name]Wren[/name] [name]Duffey[/name]: I love everything about this combo

[name]Merida[/name] [name]Esme[/name] [name]Duffey[/name]: initials are MED; gorgeous!

[name]Petra[/name] [name]Seraphine[/name] [name]Duffey[/name]: no suggestions I think it’s gorgeous

[name]Thea[/name] [name]Waverly[/name] [name]Duffey[/name]: pretty but I prefer [name]Thora[/name] or [name]Cleo[/name]/[name]Clio[/name] to [name]Thea[/name]

[name]Anais[/name] [name]Colette[/name] [name]Duffey[/name]: ACD initials; probably no big deal just my head making patterns; other than that it’s lovely

[name]Aster[/name] [name]Colette[/name] [name]Duffey[/name]: I like it, but the initials are ACD which makes me want to say ABCD or ACDC; it sounds beautiful together though

[name]Rogue[/name] [name]Adriel[/name] [name]Duffey[/name]: initials are [name]RAD[/name]; I don’t care for [name]Rogue[/name] as a fn, it might work as a mn; [name]Adriel[/name] is beautiful; prefer [name]Jubilee[/name] to [name]Rogue[/name]

Phifer [name]Adriel[/name] [name]Duffey[/name]: initials are PAD; do not like Phifer at all, though I do love names that end in -er; [name]Piper[/name], [name]Clover[/name], [name]Ember[/name], [name]Juniper[/name], [name]Rumer[/name], [name]Greer[/name], [name]Winter[/name] are some suggestions

Prim [name]Adelaide[/name] [name]Duffey[/name]: initials are PAD; nms but my favorite of the Prim combinations

In order from favorite to least favorite. My favorite individual names are [name]Merida[/name], [name]Wren[/name], [name]Esme[/name], [name]Petra[/name], [name]Colette[/name] and [name]Adriel[/name].

[name]Thea[/name] [name]Seraphine[/name] and [name]Merida[/name] [name]Collete[/name] are lovely and interesting but still subtle, not weird and pleasantly poetic to the ear (2-3 syll , or 3-2 with nice emphasisis). Nice choices.
