[name]River[/name] [name]Henry[/name] and [name]Arden[/name] [name]Lydia[/name] would be pretty for siblings! [name]Asher[/name] [name]Henry[/name] and [name]Rowan[/name] [name]Elisabeth[/name] would be pretty for siblings, too! [name]Olive[/name] [name]Elisabeth[/name], [name]Sage[/name] [name]Lydia[/name], [name]Asher[/name] [name]Henry[/name], and [name]Nash[/name] [name]Gerald[/name] would be nice, too, for siblings! [name]Rowan[/name] [name]Elisabeth[/name] and [name]Sawyer[/name] [name]Lydia[/name] would be great, as well…
I do like the names you are considering! It’s not like I hate your names by any means, [name]Sara[/name]! My favorites are the vintage classics, but I appreciate your quirky, earthy style very much, too.
[name]Say[/name] in my perfect world I had what I wanted and that was…
5 children, 3 boys and 2 girls.
First born: [name]River[/name] [name]Gerald[/name] [name]Henry[/name]
2nd, another boy, [name]Nash[/name] _____
a girl, [name]Sawyer[/name] [name]Elisabeth[/name]
and then boy girl twins:
_______ & ________
Thoughts on filling in the blanks as well as any changes for the “existing” kids? I know the likeliness of this happening in this birth order is not very probable so Im hoping you will all humor me Use names [name]Ive[/name] previously mentioned I liked or names you think will go! Thanks so much to any one who does this
I don’t personally like [name]River[/name] and [name]Sawyer[/name] together - 1) because they both end in -er, and 2) because it isn’t immediately clear to me that you don’t have two boys…
So, what do you think? [name]River[/name], [name]Nash[/name], [name]Arden[/name], [name]West[/name], and [name]Halsey[/name]? I substituted in names that I thought you might like…
I actually almost love it! hahaha
I like [name]Griffin[/name] [name]Oliver[/name] [name]West[/name] better- and actually love the name [name]Griffin[/name] with the possibility of the nn [name]Fin[/name]! The only name I dont like is [name]Halsey[/name]-
I chose [name]Griffin[/name] as a middle name and [name]West[/name] as a first name because then you have different end sounds for each name. I like [name]Griffin[/name] up front, too, but I’d then choose another name for [name]Arden[/name] - I’m a matching end-sound phobic!
Instead of [name]Halsey[/name], you may like [name]Presley[/name], [name]Rory[/name], [name]Oakley[/name], or [name]Perry[/name]. You may also like [name]Brooke[/name], [name]Blair[/name], [name]Scout[/name], [name]Lark[/name], [name]Wren[/name], or [name]Skye[/name]…
[name]River[/name] [name]Gerald[/name] [name]Henry[/name] (a very handsome combo, I must add)
[name]Jett[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] [name]Gray[/name]
[name]Sawyer[/name] [name]Elisabeth[/name] [name]Winter[/name]
[name]Levi[/name] [name]Griffin[/name] [name]Asher[/name] and [name]Rowan[/name] [name]Alexandra[/name] [name]Olive[/name]
[name]River[/name], [name]Jett[/name], [name]Sawyer[/name], [name]Levi[/name] (or [name]Finn[/name] or [name]Asher[/name]), and [name]Rowan[/name].
I really don’t like [name]Nash[/name], though–it sounds like the word “gnash”, which means to grind ones teeth together in anger.
[name]Love[/name] the name combos! Thanks:)
haha oh god- Id never thought of [name]Nash[/name] like “gnash”… until now! THanks alot! ;p lol
I actually really like the use of [name]Alexandra[/name] and [name]Alexander[/name]… both names used a few times t/o my family so it could be an ode to my family without actually naming the child after a specific person
BF/[name]Future[/name] Dad HATES [name]Rowan[/name] so thats out
Also hates [name]Olive[/name], [name]Lucas[/name] for a mn name, and is still iffy on [name]Sawyer[/name]- He likes [name]Nash[/name] but doesnt want to use it as its a last name of a co-worker.
[name]Reason[/name] #2 its so hard- find a name ([name]Rowan[/name]/[name]Olive[/name]) I feel I could really use… and it gets veto’d!!!
Anyone else have this problem!? any ways/tricks to help them love the names you love?!
Compromising is essential–if he absolutely HATES a name, then you probably shouldn’t use it. As the mother, you do have the right to name the child what you want without any input from the father, but I don’t think it would be fair at all to him. If you adore a name that he despises, you could put it in the middle name slot, and use it as your daughter’s/son’s nickname.
If you decide to use [name]Sawyer[/name] and any variation of [name]Finn[/name] together, beware: [name]Mark[/name] [name]Twain[/name]'s [name]Tom[/name] [name]Sawyer[/name] and [name]Huckleberry[/name] [name]Finn[/name]. You may get a few weird looks from that.
When it comes to pairing do not name two siblings [name]Hudson[/name] and [name]River[/name]…AKA the [name]Hudson[/name] [name]River[/name] in New [name]York[/name]
I like [name]Finley[/name], [name]Lydia[/name], [name]Celia[/name] for girls. [name]Lydia[/name] and [name]Celia[/name] would be precious for sister names.
[name]Don[/name]'t rule out [name]Elizabeth[/name]/[name]Elisabeth[/name] for a first name! While it is widespread there are many fun nicknames to make out of it. [name]Ellie[/name], [name]Elsie[/name], [name]Libby[/name], [name]Izzy[/name], [name]Bess[/name], [name]Bette[/name], [name]Lizbet[/name], Lissy, [name]Tibby[/name], [name]Lilla[/name], [name]Ella[/name], Lillibeth, [name]Isa[/name]…
I see you kind of like -don and -land name for boys…similar names are Kirkland, [name]Courtland[/name], [name]Colton[/name], [name]Harlan[/name], [name]Portland[/name], Strickland, [name]Carden[/name], [name]Graydon[/name], [name]Kadon[/name] (you could use the nickname [name]Kade[/name])
I really like the last combo of names you did for me- you sneaky girl getting rid of both [name]Nash[/name] & [name]River[/name] ;p lol
I dont remember if this has already been discussed but do you like [name]Sawyer[/name] & [name]Rowan[/name] as sisters?[/quote]
Yes, I do like [name]Sawyer[/name] and [name]Rowan[/name] for siblings, but it appears those won’t be used. So, your boyfriend - future father of your children - likes [name]River[/name], eh? I didn’t mean to get rid of it, really - I promise it wasn’t some backhanded thing…
Oh! Another thing - I agree with the other poster who said [name]Nash[/name] reminded her of “gnash” - not so good! What about using names like [name]Nash[/name], [name]West[/name], [name]River[/name], [name]Sloane[/name], [name]Reese[/name], [name]Blair[/name], or [name]Jett[/name] for middle names?
What about these for first names? I just realized that [name]Camden[/name] and [name]Landon[/name] sound way too similar to be used together!
[name]Lemon[/name]- haha I was just kidding!! Im so thrilled with how much you’ve helped!! He does like [name]River[/name], he prefers it for a mn- for the LONGEST time we had decided on “[name]Lincoln[/name] [name]River[/name] [name]James[/name]” for our 2nd son (our first son will have the middle names “[name]Gerlad[/name] [name]Henry[/name]” or “[name]Henry[/name] [name]Gerald[/name]”) but then when Prison Break came on TV and the main character was named [name]Lincoln[/name]… I now know 2 people who have babies and have used the name (one using the variation of Linken, but still, all the same)
[name]LOVE[/name] [name]Bode[/name]/Bhodi… suggested it along time ago and got the strangest look from my boyfriend haha.
[name]Serendipity[/name]-I definitely want him to love the name, and I know that ultimately, I could be the only decider in naming the baby, but like you said, it would be unfair and I wouldn’t do that! Thats why [name]Ive[/name] started the naming process so early in the game- Its something that is so, so important to me and once I have a solid list of names I love I can go to him and hopefully, together we can choose one of each we both love equally as much:) (and maybe even have some left over for our babies down the road!)
Thank you everyone for the suggestions- I knew not to use [name]River[/name] & [name]Hudson[/name], but hadn’t even thought about [name]Sawyer[/name] & [name]Finn[/name]! hahaha thanks for the heads up!
I took a pregancy test today a few days earlier than I should have- it was negative but Im going to try again in a few days
I love [name]Lincoln[/name] [name]River[/name] [name]James[/name], really! So cute, and I love the [name]Link[/name] nickname! I don’t think [name]Lincoln[/name] is really that popular, so I wouldn’t worry, but if it is an issue, you always have [name]Landon[/name] to fall back on, right?
I think [name]Griffin[/name] [name]Henry[/name] [name]Nash[/name] and [name]Lincoln[/name] [name]River[/name] [name]James[/name] would be stunning as brothers, and that way you could save [name]Gerald[/name] for another son, since you want several children, right? I was thinking something like [name]Tobin[/name] [name]Gerald[/name] [name]Paul[/name], or maybe [name]Boden[/name] [name]Gerald[/name] [name]Luke[/name]. [name]Finn[/name], [name]Link[/name], and [name]Toby[/name] or [name]Finn[/name], [name]Link[/name], and [name]Bode[/name]?
I have a son named [name]Nash[/name]!!!
and, a son named [name]Hudson[/name] another name you mentioned you liked…,
I think if you and your husband like a name- thats all that matters!
B [name]Griffin[/name] [name]Gerald[/name] [name]Henry[/name]
B [name]Lincoln[/name] [name]River[/name] [name]James[/name]
G [name]Sawyer[/name] [name]Lydia[/name] [name]Davison[/name]/ [name]Rowan[/name] [name]Lydia[/name] [name]Elisabeth[/name]/ [name]Arden[/name] / etc…
Are you sure you want to use both [name]Gerald[/name] and [name]Henry[/name] for one son? Maybe you might want to save another significant name for a future child? If not, I really do like [name]Griffin[/name] [name]Henry[/name] [name]Gerald[/name] and [name]Griffin[/name] [name]Gerald[/name] [name]Henry[/name] - which works better with the last name?
I thought your boyfriend nixed both [name]Rowan[/name] and [name]Sawyer[/name]? Or was it the ([name]Huck[/name]) [name]Finn[/name] and ([name]Tom[/name]) [name]Sawyer[/name] thing that was bad? So, I guess I’d go with [name]Arden[/name]! Is that one you both agree on? [name]Arden[/name] [name]Elisabeth[/name] [name]Olive[/name] is cute!
Did you and your boyfriend agree on any other names? Maybe you would like [name]Fisher[/name], [name]Kiefer[/name], [name]Parker[/name], [name]Spencer[/name], or [name]Miller[/name] for boys and something like [name]Piper[/name], [name]Pepper[/name], or [name]Harper[/name] for a girl? Or, any of the -n names previously suggested?
Each name has a natural theme - Jarrah, [name]River[/name], [name]Rowan[/name], [name]Forrest[/name], [name]Fern[/name], and [name]Brier[/name] - and each boy name ends in N while each girl name ends in ER. You’d have [name]Finn[/name], [name]Link[/name], [name]Harper[/name], [name]Cam[/name], [name]Sawyer[/name], and [name]Brier[/name] - what do you think?
