Before I even saw the poll, my first thought was [name]Mabel[/name] or [name]Amabel[/name]! Clearly, I think it fits in perfectly! I also really like [name]Lucinda[/name] and [name]Leonora[/name] with Bruch and [name]Ramona[/name].
[name]Ramona[/name] and [name]Bruce[/name] are both such strong, fiery, opinionated names, so (for me) [name]Cordelia[/name], [name]Leonora[/name], [name]Lucinda[/name] and [name]Meriel[/name] are out.
I really love [name]Maxine[/name]! It’s beautiful, spunky and fun! [name]Alma[/name] and [name]Mabel[/name] are really good ones as well, but [name]Maxine[/name] is light years ahead of them.
Thanks everyone! [name]Tabitha[/name] is a great name that is one of those ones that was ruined for me by a [name]Tabitha[/name] I knew in college. A similar name that I love is [name]Tallulah[/name] but DH vetoed. [name]Maxine[/name] is really growing on me…
What about [name]Cornelia[/name] vs [name]Cordelia[/name], does [name]Cornelia[/name] work better?
Thanks Ottillie! I am thinking [name]Cornelia[/name] is a better fit too…
Right now I am feeling like my short list looks like:
[name]Mabel[/name]
[name]Cornelia[/name]
[name]Maxine[/name] (loving this one more and more!)
[name]Lucinda[/name] (or maybe [name]Lucille[/name]?)
[name]Alma[/name]
I actually don’t think any of those names fit well with [name]Bruce[/name]. The ones that I think fit better are [name]Henrietta[/name], just because [name]Henri[/name] and [name]Bruce[/name] sound good together to me, or [name]Bruce[/name] and [name]Alma[/name], since they both are kind of consonant heavy.
I know you didn’t include it, but I really think [name]Bruce[/name] and [name]Emma[/name] sound cute together; both short, kind of spunky, but contrast well because they are clearly masculine and feminine. I think that’s important when pairing [name]Bruce[/name] with a girl’s name; short and contrasting, masculine and feminine!
According to me, [name]Ramona[/name] or [name]Bruce[/name] could be very good, because both sounds very nice to me. If I was there on your place then definitely go with one of these two for sure. I think you should go with it.
I voted [name]Mabel[/name] but I also love [name]Lucinda[/name] nn [name]Indi[/name]! I’d much rather [name]Harriet[/name] than [name]Henrietta[/name] they would be my first choice if it was an option…
With [name]Ramona[/name] and [name]Bruce[/name], I like [name]Lucinda[/name] and [name]Alma[/name] the best. I also think [name]Ida[/name], [name]Eudora[/name], [name]Maxine[/name] and [name]Henrietta[/name] fit well.
