Name Advice

I’d love to hear what vibes you get from these names and your overall thoughts from our slimmed down and cleaned up list.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Solomon[/name_m] [name_m]Jay[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Theoden[/name_m] [name_m]Crain[/name_m] “Theo”
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Polly[/name_f] [name_f]Susannah[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Teresa[/name_f]

[name_f][/name_f]

*These names below on our list don’t have middle names picked for just yet so I’ll take suggestions just not for the above ones as we are finally in agreement :laughing:

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Fenwick[/name_m] “Fenn”
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Cosmo[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Eloise[/name_f] “Lou/Louie”
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] “Lizzie”
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Nora[/name_f] (trying to convince SO on using a full name [name_f][/name_f] to use as a nickname still so it might be off the list)

[name_f][/name_f]

Thank you everyone so much for your suggestions and thoughts on all my posts asking for help. I really appreciate it! Hopefully soon we will be TTC :blush:

[name_f]Love[/name_f] your list! They all sort of give me different vibes yet I could see them as an interesting and balanced sibset.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Solomon[/name_m] [name_m]Jay[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_m]Solomon[/name_m] feels smart and reserved, while [name_m]Jay[/name_m] feels playful and sporty. A nice blend that sounds good together.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Theoden[/name_m] [name_m]Crain[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]- Never heard of [name_m]Theoden[/name_m] but I like it. It’s cute, and I find it less clunky than [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]. I’m not a fan of the sound of [name_m]Crain[/name_m]. I might like [name_m]Kane[/name_m] or [name_m]Cade[/name_m] better with this one

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Polly[/name_f] [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_f]Love[/name_f] it [name_f][/name_f]- [name_m]Super[/name_m] vintage, warm, sweet, bright, and a little spunky

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Theresa[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- Has the warmness and vintage charm of [name_f]Polly[/name_f] [name_f]Susannah[/name_f], but feels more pulled back and studious. The flow is great too.

[name_f][/name_f]

I actually think some of your other names would pair up well together [name_f][/name_f]- [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] [name_m]Fenwick[/name_m], [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f], and [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] are all lovely imo :blush:

[name_m]Solomon[/name_m] [name_m]Jay[/name_m] → gorgeous, sunny and serious at the same time

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Theoden[/name_m] [name_m]Crain[/name_m] → strong and sharp, bit with a cool vibe [name_f][/name_f]- I find it a teeny bit harsh, but not overly so [name_f][/name_f]- I think [name_m]Theo[/name_m] softens it a bit?

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Polly[/name_f] [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] → beautiful, bright, sunny and lovely

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Teresa[/name_f] → love sweet, strong [name_f]Ada[/name_f]! How do you pronounce [name_f]Teresa[/name_f]? with a ‘REH’ sound or ‘REE’?

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Fenwick[/name_m] -‘Fenn’ → love it! Snappy, gentle and cool

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] → bright, breezy and starry

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Eloise[/name_f] ‘Lou/Louie’ → I like the sleek, sweet [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] with sparky Lou/ie

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] ‘Lizzie’ → classic and solid, but a little less sparky than your other choices

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Maeve[/name_f] → warm and cosy but sparkly too

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Alice[/name_f] → light and sweet but strong

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Solomon[/name_m] [name_m]Jay[/name_m] → regal, thoughtful, kind. [name_m]Solomon[/name_m] has an old-world gravitas that pairs well with the lighter, more modern [name_m]Jay[/name_m]. Would be the type of kid who sets up a field hospital for insects and has strong opinions on his favorite books.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Theoden[/name_m] [name_m]Crain[/name_m] “Theo” → bold and storybook. [name_m]Theoden[/name_m] brings a cool, fantasy energy without being too “out there”, while [name_m]Crain[/name_m] feels a little poetic. [name_m]Theo[/name_m] would be imaginative, introspective, and loyal – maybe an artist?

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Polly[/name_f] [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] → bright, breezy, vintage. [name_f]Polly[/name_f] is charming, while [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] adds warmth and musicality. The literal definition of gingham and sunflower fields.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Teresa[/name_f] → elegant, intelligent. [name_f]Ada[/name_f] is a brainy heroine name, and I really like it paired with more gentle [name_f]Teresa[/name_f]. She would be quietly powerful, a scientist or a historian with a knack for flower pressing or something.

[name_f][/name_f]

Together, I think of these four as vintage revivals with a literary/mythic quality. It also seems like nickname flexibility and unexpected middle names with meaning are important to you!

[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Fenwick[/name_m] “Fenn” – a hidden gem! Quirky, woodsy, a little mysterious. [name_m]Fenn[/name_m] is a rock collector and bird enthusiast. Maybe [name_m]Fenwick[/name_m] [name_m]Elias[/name_m], [name_m]Fenwick[/name_m] [name_m]Jude[/name_m], or [name_m]Fenwick[/name_m] [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m]?

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] → fun, bold, and little eccentric. Confident, but sweet. Ambitious! Maybe [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] [name_m]Peregrine[/name_m], [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] [name_m]Everett[/name_m], or [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] [name_m]Finch[/name_m]?

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Eloise[/name_f] “Lou/Louie” → Chic and classic, but Lou/Louie adds a charming tomboy twist. [name_m]Sharp[/name_m], adventurous, and empathetic! Maybe [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f], [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] [name_f]Daphne[/name_f], or [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] [name_f]Ramona[/name_f]?

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] “Lizzie” → timeless and versatile with a plucky bent due to the nickname. [name_m]Loyal[/name_m], a devoted puzzle-solver. Maybe [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Wren[/name_f], [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f], or [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Clara[/name_f]?

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Maeve[/name_f] → short, sharp, mythic. She’d be strong, self-possessed, and a natural-born leader. Maybe [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Elowen[/name_f], [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], or [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Isadora[/name_f]?

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Alice[/name_f] → proper and polite at first glance with a big imagination and quiet mischievousness. [name_m]Classic[/name_m] but also whimsical. Maybe [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f], [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Juniper[/name_f], or [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Briar[/name_f]?

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Nora[/name_f] → sweet and vintage, but I totally understand wanting a longer full name. For middles, maybe [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Estelle[/name_f], [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Celeste[/name_f], or [name_f]Nora[/name_f] [name_f]Lucille[/name_f]?

[name_m]Theoden[/name_m] was a compromise. I love [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] just for the nicknames [name_m]Theo[/name_m] and [name_m]Teddy[/name_m] but SO doesn’t like [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]. He suggested [name_m]Theoden[/name_m] one day and said we could call him [name_m]Theo[/name_m]! It’s grown on me. [name_m]Crain[/name_m] is a family name and it does sound kind of harsh now that it’s been mentioned.

[name_f][/name_f]

We pronounce [name_f]Teresa[/name_f] with the “rhea” sound. Another family name :slight_smile:

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Just[/name_m] found out he likes [name_f]Sybil[/name_f] and [name_m]Montgomery[/name_m] now! Which I know you suggested [name_m]Montgomery[/name_m] in one of my past posts! You have been so helpful.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Maeve[/name_f], [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and [name_f]Nora[/name_f] are starting to lack the sparkle as you had mentioned from their vibes. [name_f]Polly[/name_f], [name_f]Ada[/name_f], [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] and [name_f]Sybil[/name_f] are probably are most favorite girls now.

Thank you so much for taking the time to go through our names. [name_m]Theoden[/name_m] was a compromise for us. I loved [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] and he loved [name_m]Theoden[/name_m] and said we could him [name_m]Theo[/name_m]! [name_m]Crain[/name_m] is a family name but you’re right, it does seem a bit harsh with [name_m]Theoden[/name_m]. Sounds good with [name_m]Theo[/name_m] just not [name_m]Theoden[/name_m].

Thank you for taking the time! I love the vibes you described because it’s similar to how I view them too. I’ve always had a hard time pegging our style but you nailed it with the vintage revival and middle names being meaningful and unique :blush: We do love nicknames too.

I love that!

[name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f]

Nice! I like that with [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- something rhythmic and sparky about it

[name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f]

Yay! I love both of these with your set!
