Hey everyone!
I was hoping you could help me make sense of my name lists.
I’ve always felt ambivalent about having children - I sincerely don’t feel strongly about it one way or another at this stage of my life. If I do wind up having children, it’ll be 10-20 years from now, and as a lesbian, there’s a slim-to-none possibility for a surprise baby to interrupt those plans. So, I have trouble envisioning children as a tangible reality in my life, and I’m not sure how many kids I’d be interested in having if I did have them because of that. While I love thinking about baby names, I’ve found my uncertain feelings about having babies make it really hard to come up with more than one name!
When I envision my future, I generally picture a single daughter, and I have my first daughter’s name picked out, as well as my first son’s. These are more or less set in stone as they are all names which honor important people in my life, but beyond those, what do you think of the names on my lists, and what combinations would you make with those names? I intend to use two middle names for every child. Also – if you have suggestions you think would suit my style, feel free to offer them! I’d love to have some more inspirations.
(First daughter) [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f]
(First son) [name_m]David[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] / [name_m]David[/name_m]-[name_u]Michael[/name_u] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m]
-
- Thoughts on the hyphen for [name_m]David[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u]? I would likely call him “[name_m]David[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u]” as a double first name regardless.
(Second daughter?) [name_f]Alexa[/name_f] [name_u]Dawn[/name_u] [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f]
(Second son?) [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] ? ?
– [name_m]Lachlan[/name_m] [name_u]Jasper[/name_u] [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] is a possibility, but I also like [name_u]Jasper[/name_u] as a first name and can’t decide!
Other names I like for girls: [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_u]Allison[/name_u], [name_u]Brynn[/name_u], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_u]Chelsea[/name_u], [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], [name_f]Hope[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Lyra[/name_f], [name_f]Margot[/name_f], [name_f]Natalie[/name_f], [name_f]Noelle[/name_f], [name_f]Nora[/name_f], [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f], [name_f]Sabrina[/name_f], [name_f]Sarah[/name_f], [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
Other names I like for boys: [name_m]Archer[/name_m], [name_m]Asher[/name_m], [name_m]Colin[/name_m], [name_m]Declan[/name_m], [name_u]Elliott[/name_u], [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m], [name_u]Jasper[/name_u], [name_m]Julian[/name_m], [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m], [name_m]Nicholas[/name_m], [name_m]Nolan[/name_m], [name_u]Quinn[/name_u], [name_u]Riley[/name_u], [name_u]Robin[/name_u], [name_u]Sage[/name_u], [name_m]Trevor[/name_m], [name_m]Xavier[/name_m], [name_m]William[/name_m], [name_m]Zachary[/name_m]
