After months of trying, we’re finally pregnant! I’m having DH go through one of my name books and make a list of all the names he likes, but I’ve been preparing my list for what seems like forever, so I’m just interested in what some other people think of them.
Some are family names, but I’m not going to say which ones because it’s not really an important consideration for me. They’re on the list because I honestly love the names, not because I want to honor a specific person. The last name is one syllable, but [name]Eve[/name] sounds just fine with it (unlike with my also one-syllable maiden name). Also, I don’t care that much about popularity.
I love [name]Zoe[/name] [name]Alexandra[/name] and [name]Zoe[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name]! Three of my favorite names! My original [name]Zoe[/name] combination was [name]Zoe[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name] [name]Rose[/name]. [name]Love[/name] it! I also really like [name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Penelope[/name] and [name]Catherine[/name] [name]Felicity[/name]. Some of the others are not my style, but they all sound like good combos! Congratulations on finally being pregnant! We are currently trying as well! Going on month 6, hoping we get an early [name]Christmas[/name] present! Good luck deciding on a name for your little one!
You know, I think my love of [name]Zoe[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name] was inspired by your [name]Zoe[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name] [name]Rose[/name] combo! [name]Every[/name] time I saw it mentioned, I couldn’t help but think how beautiful it went together. I’m actually kinda sad that you’re not considering it anymore (although [name]Zoe[/name] [name]Anneliese[/name] [name]Jayne[/name] is also pretty).
[name]Anastasia[/name] [name]Eve[/name] - Very pretty! I’ve had both names on my favorites list at one point.
[name]Catherine[/name] [name]Felicity[/name] - I’m not a huge fan of [name]Catherine[/name], but [name]Felicity[/name] is gorgeous. [name]Catherine[/name] [name]Zoe[/name] - I like it, but the same goes with [name]Catherine[/name].
[name]Daphne[/name] [name]Cecilia[/name] - Beautiful! I have [name]Daphne[/name] [name]Lydia[/name] on my extended list. I love [name]Daphne[/name] [name]Ophelia[/name] as well.
[name]Eden[/name] [name]Serena[/name] - I don’t really like this, sorry. [name]Eden[/name] sounds really harsh for a little girl in my opinion. [name]Serena[/name] is just OK.
[name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Daphne[/name] is my favorites from your middle names for [name]Elizabeth[/name], but they’re all pretty. Runner up is [name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Victoria[/name].
[name]Eve[/name] [name]Victoria[/name] - I like both names, but I don’t like how the V’s seem to run into each other.
[name]Gwendolyn[/name] [name]Eva[/name] - I know a [name]Gwendolyn[/name], so I might be biased, but I think it’s lovely! [name]Gwen[/name] is a cute nickname.
[name]Miranda[/name] [name]Calliope[/name] - I’ve always thought [name]Miranda[/name] was kind of boring. [name]Calliope[/name] is nice, though.
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Olivia[/name] is sweet. I don’t like [name]Veronica[/name] and it doesn’t seem to flow well either.
[name]Phoebe[/name] [name]Veronica[/name] - Same as with [name]Veronica[/name], but I like the way the two names sound together, very melodic.
[name]Seraphina[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name] - Very feminine! [name]Seraphina[/name] is almost over the top in my book.
[name]Veronica[/name] [name]Zoe[/name] - The “V” and the “Z” don’t seem to go well.
[name]Zoe[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name] is nice.
My favorites are:
[name]Catherine[/name] [name]Felicity[/name],
[name]Gwendolyn[/name] [name]Eve[/name] (rather than [name]Eva[/name]- I like [name]Eva[/name], but I like this flow better)
[name]Zoe[/name] [name]Alexandra[/name]
[name]Eden[/name] is my favourite of the first names but I dislike the combo, I’d prefer something like [name]Eden[/name] [name]Veronica[/name] or [name]Eden[/name] [name]Penelope[/name].
[name]Anastasia[/name] [name]Eve[/name] is gorgeous and unexpected, great choice.
[name]Catherine[/name] is very bland to me, but I do love [name]Felicity[/name].
[name]Daphne[/name] [name]Cecilia[/name] is beautiful.
[name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Victoria[/name] just looks so classy.
[name]Eve[/name] [name]Victoria[/name] sounds rather V heavy this way around, but [name]Victoria[/name] [name]Eve[/name] sounds better.
[name]Gwendolyn[/name] is a name I want to like but it sounds so clunky and unappealing to me.
[name]Miranda[/name] isn’t a name I’m keen on but [name]Calliope[/name] is adorable.
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Olivia[/name] is nice.
[name]Phoebe[/name] [name]Veronica[/name] is wonderful.
[name]Seraphina[/name] is my second favourite of the first names on your list but I dislike it with [name]Charlotte[/name].
[name]Zoe[/name] just sounds so juvenile to me.
