when you've already used THE NAME.

Hello friends! a long time [name_u]Berry[/name_u] here just back with a new account. it’s finally time to give my [name_m]Little[/name_m] [name_m]Bear[/name_m] a sibling and i have no idea where to start. [name_f]Ani[/name_f].ella Ju.niper (periods placed to make a google search a bit harder) is now 2.5 years old and while her name is not everyone’s cup of tea, i adore it. after months and months of trying to come up with a nickname for her that suited her personality, she has decided to call herself Yaya.

husband and i just began trying for another little cub and i am at a complete loss with regards to names for Yaya’s sibling. even the names that were frontrunners during my pregnancy with Yaya just don’t seem to fit anymore. the only rules or parameters we have around the name is that i’d like it to somewhat fit with Yaya’s name, it can’t have a heavy O sound since our very italian last name ends in a strong O, and i’d like to keep up the nature theme in the middle spot.

our boys name the first time around was [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], and i think that’s still a contender. we’ve also tossed around the classic [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]. on the girls side, because i am convinced i’m going to end up with two girls, i adore [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], but hubs isn’t sold on it. a guilty pleasure of mine is [name_f]Aviva[/name_f]. favorite middle names which would serve as a nod to my hippie naturey spirit include [name_f]Nova[/name_f], [name_u]Oak[/name_u], [name_u]Winter[/name_u], [name_f]Meadow[/name_f], [name_u]River[/name_u], and [name_u]Sage[/name_u].

Help me, berries?

Oh I love [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]! [name_f]Vivi[/name_f] is just the cutest nn ever. Work on your hubby, lol. It sounds like you’ve got a couple solid options for boys, so I’ll stick with girls names.

[name_f]Gwenyth[/name_f] [name_u]Sage[/name_u]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Nova[/name_f] ([name_f]Vivi[/name_f] as a nn again)
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_u]River[/name_u] or [name_u]Eloise[/name_u] [name_f]Meadow[/name_f]

And because you like [name_f]Aviva[/name_f] I’ll also suggest [name_f]Amira[/name_f].

I like [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_u]Oak[/name_u], [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u] or [name_f]Aviva[/name_f] [name_f]Meadow[/name_f]. :slight_smile:

[name_f]Althea[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]
[name_f]Vivianne[/name_f]
[name_f]Isolde[/name_f]
[name_f]Fiona[/name_f]
[name_f]Bianca[/name_f]
[name_f]Tatiana[/name_f]

I like [name_f]Aviva[/name_f]! You can go by the full name or nns like [name_f]Ava[/name_f], [name_f]Viv[/name_f], [name_f]Eva[/name_f] (since the sound is there). [name_u]Love[/name_u] the meaning too!

Your two girl names have some [name_f]Viv[/name_f] in it, so here are some other fn options to match: [name_f]Viviana[/name_f], [name_f]Vivia[/name_f], [name_f]Viveca[/name_f], [name_f]Vevina[/name_f], [name_f]Viviette[/name_f] (GP of mine :slight_smile: )
