What do you think of when you hear?

General Name Discussion
1

a little while ago, about 12 weeks we chose our baby names, now I have made hubby choose new names as I am scared of getting the baby and thinking the name doesn’t suit the child.

So what do you think of when you hear the names:

[name]Elliot[/name] [name]James[/name] Whitefield

And

[name]Jedidiah[/name] [name]George[/name] Whitefield.

Or

[name]Elodie[/name] [name]Grace[/name] Whitefield

And

[name]Cleo[/name] [name]Grace[/name] Whitefield.

Thanks, I really love these names, it’s just so hard to choose and I want to make sure the name suits the personality
…if only I coud ask bubba what it would prefer.

thanks, I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

[name]Elliot[/name] [name]James[/name] Whitefield – Nice solid name.

And

[name]Jedidiah[/name] [name]George[/name] Whitefield. – [name]Jedidiah[/name]? Sounds super religious to me.

Or

[name]Elodie[/name] [name]Grace[/name] Whitefield – Cute.

And

[name]Cleo[/name] [name]Grace[/name] Whitefield. – Ok, [name]Cleo[/name] is a bit of hard name for a baby/young girl to carry, imo.

[name]Elliot[/name] [name]James[/name] Whitefield - Like elliott, together with james it sounds too preppy to me

And

[name]Jedidiah[/name] [name]George[/name] Whitefield. - dislike jedidiah strongly

Or

[name]Elodie[/name] [name]Grace[/name] Whitefield - very pretty, again I might change grace out, together sounds a bit preppy

And

[name]Cleo[/name] [name]Grace[/name] Whitefield. - dislike cleo. What about [name]Blythe[/name]? has a similar feeling to it.

[name]Elliot[/name] [name]James[/name] Whitefield - bit soft but not out of the ordinary
[name]Jedidiah[/name] [name]George[/name] Whitefield - hmm, Amish? homeschooled? parents liked unique? meh. [name]Jed[/name] isn’t terrible
[name]Elodie[/name] [name]Grace[/name] Whitefield - French? L.O.D?
[name]Cleo[/name] [name]Grace[/name] Whitefield - interesting, kinda like it.

Immediately I think Southern & religious for all of those names. You may find with a name like [name]Jedidiah[/name] that he goes through life battling preconceived notions about who he is, based just on his name. I think [name]Elodie[/name] and [name]Elliot[/name] would be my two picks out of the four.

[name]Elodie[/name] and [name]Cleo[/name] are totally cool. [name]Jedidiah[/name] is a daring name, I don’t have a problem with it by itself, but I don’t like it with [name]George[/name] (or [name]James[/name]). [name]Elliot[/name] [name]James[/name], by contrast seems very tame. What about keeping a short list of possible names, and waiting until you meet your baby to choose?

I prefer [name]Elliot[/name] and [name]Cleo[/name] to [name]Jedidiah[/name] (really dislike, sorry) and [name]Elodie[/name].

Thanks guys, but I think I might mention these on an Australian forum as I have no idea why everyone thinks of jeidiah as southern? I think it must be an americicain thing???

I have no idea why the dislike for [name]Jedidiah[/name]! I like both names, but [name]Jedidiah[/name] [name]George[/name] is a stand out. So handsome and strong!
I prefer [name]Elodie[/name] over [name]Cleo[/name], but both are exciting options.
