[name]Aubrey[/name]
[name]Arianna[/name]
[name]Keira[/name]

Any other suggestions that fit my style (what is my naming style?)

Oliver Michael Wright - I like it.
Caleb - just not my style. I think it sounds a little geeky.
Elijah Michael Wright - Too many long “I” sounds.
Huxley Michael Wright - I like it.
Liam Michael Wright - Again, sort of too many of the same sounds together.
Felix Michael Wright - Cute
Elias Michael Wright - Too many long “I” sounds… but I like it better than Elijah.

Girls
Middle name will be Lynn, after my mother.
Tessa Lynn Wright - Love this.
Norah Lynn Wright - I like this okay, but Norah is not really my style.
Fiona - not my style
Aubrey - to me Aubrey is a little boring, but it’s not bad.
Arianna Lynn Wright - I think this is pretty.
Keira Lynn Wright - LOVE this.

[name]Oliver[/name] [name]Michael[/name] [name]Wright[/name] - NMS but I do like it together
[name]Caleb[/name] [name]Michael[/name] [name]Wright[/name] - eh, it works but maybe too biblical?
[name]Elijah[/name] [name]Michael[/name] [name]Wright[/name] - the E names are really popular right now, not my fav though
[name]Huxley[/name] [name]Michael[/name] [name]Wright[/name] - I love [name]Huxley[/name] but it seems to be the odd one out on your list and I’m not sure how well it works with the middle and last names
[name]Liam[/name] [name]Michael[/name] [name]Wright[/name] - My fav of all the combos, though if you want to avoid popular names [name]Liam[/name] may not be the one for you
[name]Felix[/name] [name]Michael[/name] [name]Wright[/name] - [name]Felix[/name] will forever be a cat name for me
[name]Elias[/name] [name]Michael[/name] [name]Wright[/name] - Again, I’m not personally a fan of [name]Eli[/name]- names, but they are popular

[name]Tessa[/name] [name]Lynn[/name] [name]Wright[/name] - I like it, it’s got a pleasing flow to it
[name]Norah[/name] [name]Lynn[/name] [name]Wright[/name] - I prefer it to be spelled [name]Nora[/name], but it also sounds nice
[name]Fiona[/name] [name]Lynn[/name] [name]Wright[/name] - I think of big green ogres
[name]Aubrey[/name] [name]Lynn[/name] [name]Wright[/name] - When I say it out loud the fn and mn squish together into Aubreelynn which comes off as a little trashy to me (as do most names with lyn tacked on to the end imo)
[name]Arianna[/name] [name]Lynn[/name] [name]Wright[/name] - I like [name]Arianna[/name], it’s a very pretty name but I’m not sure how well it goes with [name]Lynn[/name]
[name]Keira[/name] [name]Lynn[/name] [name]Wright[/name] - I also get a bit of the squishing together effect here, but to a lesser extent, I love [name]Keira[/name] though

With big brother [name]Gavin[/name] I would say

[name]Caleb[/name] [name]Michael[/name] and [name]Fiona[/name] [name]Lynn[/name] [name]Wright[/name].

I would have chosen [name]Keira[/name] or [name]Aubrey[/name], but I think the R sounds are hard to say with [name]Wright[/name] immediately after.

[name]Michael[/name] is a great choice for a MN.

[name]Oliver[/name]: With the MN you’re going to use, this is a great combination. But in a sibling set, to me, it doesn’t go with [name]Gavin[/name].
[name]Caleb[/name]: 2-2-1 flow makes it sound choppy. I mean that the names are very distinct from each other almost like you are talking about 2 different people.
[name]Elijah[/name]: Probably the best name to go with [name]Gavin[/name] and it flows nicely with the MN. My favorite on your list.
[name]Huxley[/name]: I really like this one. I don’t think it quite goes with [name]Gavin[/name].
[name]Liam[/name]: refer to [name]Oliver[/name]
[name]Felix[/name]: refer to [name]Oliver[/name]
[name]Elias[/name]: refer to [name]Oliver[/name]

[name]Tessa[/name]: Best out of your opinions
[name]Norah[/name]: I have mixed feelings on this one. It’s nice with [name]Gavin[/name], but the MN of [name]Lynn[/name] makes me turn away from it. I just don’t know
[name]Fiona[/name]: I don’t think it goes with [name]Gavin[/name], but it is a nice combo
[name]Aubrey[/name]: This sounds very cute. It’s my second favorite of the names you listed.
[name]Arianna[/name]: With [name]Lynn[/name] as the MN, it sounds like a run-on name. It’s the double N sound.
[name]Keira[/name]: I feel like the flow is too fast when the full name is said. It sounds like Keiralynn rather than [name]Keira[/name] [name]Lynn[/name]

The names you have listed are not bad at all. I like them all with the surname you have, but most of them really didn’t go with your son’s name. I’m not really good at suggesting names, but I would suggest for a girls name something where [name]Rose[/name] can be a NN. [name]Rose[/name] and [name]Gavin[/name] sound like a good sibling set, but that’s just my opinion. I’m not sure what your style is, but there was a thread in the Talking About [name]Baby[/name] Names section, if I recall, that had a quiz that determined what your style is most similar to.

Here are 2 I found to determine style:

http://www.namenerds.com/uucn/namequiz.html

I think these name combos sound the best together.

Boys

1 [name]Oliver[/name] [name]Michael[/name] [name]Wright[/name]
2 [name]Felix[/name] [name]Michael[/name] [name]Wright[/name]
2 [name]Caleb[/name] [name]Michael[/name] [name]Wright[/name]

Girls

1 [name]Fiona[/name] [name]Lynn[/name] [name]Wright[/name]
2 [name]Tessa[/name] [name]Lyn[/name] [name]Wright[/name]

[name]Oliver[/name] – Definitely a great name, but the popularity stand out. I’m not a fan of [name]Gavin[/name] and [name]Oliver[/name]
[name]Caleb[/name] – Great name, not sure I like it with [name]Gavin[/name]
[name]Elijah[/name] – “[name]Elijah[/name] [name]Michael[/name]” doesn’t flow right to me
[name]Huxley[/name] – Comes off as very trendy and falls flat next to [name]Gavin[/name]
[name]Liam[/name] – [name]Liam[/name] [name]Michael[/name] [name]Wright[/name] sounds so memorable and put together
[name]Felix[/name] – I don’t like it with [name]Gavin[/name] all to much
[name]Elias[/name] – See [name]Elijah[/name], though [name]Elijah[/name] sounds better than [name]Elias[/name].

Overall I’d go with [name]Liam[/name], [name]Caleb[/name] or [name]Oliver[/name]

[name]Tessa[/name] – I would [name]LOVE[/name] to see a little baby [name]Tessa[/name], but [name]Tessa[/name] [name]Lynn[/name] just sounds so clashy and “low class” (simply because it merges together and makes “Tessalynn”
[name]Norah[/name] – I like [name]Nora[/name] and [name]Gavin[/name] a lot more than [name]Norah[/name] and [name]Gavin[/name]. [name]Norah[/name] [name]Lynn[/name] kind of has the same problem as [name]Tessa[/name]
[name]Fiona[/name] – [name]Love[/name] it!
[name]Aubrey[/name] – You have much much better options on your list
[name]Arianna[/name] – I like this one too!
[name]Keira[/name] – Same issue with [name]Tessa[/name] and [name]Norah[/name]

So, I’d go with [name]Fiona[/name], [name]Arianna[/name] or [name]Nora[/name]

With [name]Gavin[/name] I like [name]Oliver[/name] or [name]Elijah[/name] the best!

And for girls I like [name]Tessa[/name] by a long shot. Second choice would be maybe…[name]Norah[/name]? They’re all nice names, but [name]Gavin[/name] and [name]Tessa[/name] just sounds so sweet together that the rest just don’t compare for me.

I really like [name]Liam[/name] [name]Michael[/name] [name]Wright[/name]. [name]Caleb[/name] and [name]Oliver[/name] are nice too.

My favorite from the girl’s list is [name]Fiona[/name] [name]Lynn[/name] [name]Wright[/name], but also like [name]Norah[/name] a lot.

Boys…I like [name]Felix[/name] [name]Michael[/name], [name]Liam[/name] [name]Michael[/name] and [name]Caleb[/name] [name]Michael[/name] most from your list. Of the two, I think [name]Gavin[/name] & [name]Caleb[/name] “go” best.

Girls…your list is lovely! The only 2 I’m NOT fond of are [name]Aubrey[/name] and [name]Arianna[/name]…only because I don’t think they compliment [name]Gavin[/name]'s name well. My FAVOURITE with [name]Lynn[/name] in the middle is [name]Tessa[/name] ([name]Fiona[/name] is a close second…but oh! I love [name]Norah[/name] and [name]Keira[/name] are so pretty too!). [name]Gavin[/name] & [name]Tessa[/name] are lovely together!

Good luck!

I really like [name]Liam[/name] with [name]Gavin[/name]!

[name]Huxley[/name] and [name]Norah[/name] are my favorites, [name]Liam[/name] is my second favorite boy on your list. Best wishes!

[name]Gavin[/name] is a lovely name! You’ve got some great choices here.
Your style looks like traditional meets quirky to me :slight_smile:

[name]Oliver[/name] [name]Michael[/name]- I love the name [name]Oliver[/name]! It goes well with [name]Gavin[/name] and your last name. I do feel like it’s a bit predictable, and it’s a common name- if that doesn’t bother you then go for it!
[name]Caleb[/name] [name]Michael[/name]- [name]Caleb[/name] is a long time favourite of mine. I think it is a classic name that will never feel trendy, and it never seems to be too popular (at least where I live). Definitely a favourite!
[name]Elijah[/name] [name]Michael[/name]- I love the nickname [name]Eli[/name], but I’m not as much a fan of [name]Elijah[/name] as a full name. It still goes very well with [name]Gavin[/name] though. When I say [name]Elijah[/name] [name]Wright[/name] out loud it doesn’t flow fantastically…? Is that just me though?
[name]Huxley[/name] [name]Michael[/name]- Sorry, not my style. I think it’s cute actually and wouldn’t mind seeing it on a kid, but it feels a bit nicknamey and not as traditional as [name]Gavin[/name].
[name]Liam[/name] [name]Michael[/name]- This is way popular where I live and popularity usually doesn’t kill a name for me, but sadly it has for [name]Liam[/name]. If it’s not popular in your area it is still a great name! I like [name]William[/name] with the nn [name]Liam[/name].
[name]Felix[/name] [name]Michael[/name]- [name]Love[/name] this name! Quirky and fun yet still traditional and timeless. Goes great with [name]Gavin[/name]!
[name]Elias[/name] [name]Michael[/name]- I definitely like this better than [name]Elijah[/name] to get the nickname [name]Eli[/name]. It doesn’t have as much of a kick ([name]IMO[/name]) as [name]Felix[/name] or [name]Caleb[/name], but still nice.

[name]Tessa[/name] [name]Lynn[/name]- [name]Tessa[/name] is adorable! Goes with [name]Gavin[/name]! Great matching style wise.
[name]Norah[/name] [name]Lynn[/name]- I love the name [name]Nora[/name] (I prefer it without the H) [name]One[/name] of my own favourites! [name]Nora[/name] and [name]Gavin[/name] is such a great sibset!
[name]Fiona[/name] [name]Lynn[/name]- Who doesn’t love [name]Fiona[/name]? This is such a great name, and it’s still pretty uncommon! [name]Fiona[/name] and [name]Gavin[/name] is to die for!!!
[name]Aubrey[/name] [name]Lynn[/name]- I prefer [name]Audrey[/name] to [name]Aubrey[/name], but yet it doesn’t seem to have that kick to it… Still a lovely name though!
[name]Arianna[/name] [name]Lynn[/name]- Sorry, not my style.
[name]Keira[/name] [name]Lynn[/name]- I like [name]Keira[/name], but don’t love it. It’s a nice name, but is bordering on trendy.
Suggestion: [name]Naomi[/name] - I fell like this has a similar feel to [name]Keira[/name], but is less trendy feeling.

I really adore your naming style! It’s very similar to mine I think! You have so many great choices I can’t see you going wrong! You will end up with some fantastically named kids!

My favourites are [name]Gavin[/name] & [name]Caleb[/name] OR [name]Gavin[/name] & [name]Felix[/name],
[name]Gavin[/name] & [name]Nora[/name] OR [name]Gavin[/name] & [name]Fiona[/name].

…Better yet… [name]Gavin[/name], [name]Felix[/name] & [name]Nora[/name] OR [name]Gavin[/name], [name]Caleb[/name] & [name]Fiona[/name]
swoon

Good luck!

I like [name]Liam[/name] or [name]Fiona[/name] best with [name]Gavin[/name]. I also like [name]Oliver[/name] and [name]Norah[/name] or [name]Keira[/name], but I think names with R in them are awkward to say with your last name.

[name]Oliver[/name] [name]Michael[/name]: [name]Oliver[/name] is nice and goes well with [name]Gavin[/name] but it seems to blend in more than stand out like many of your other options.
[name]Caleb[/name] [name]Michael[/name]: [name]Caleb[/name] is such a pleasant name with a very hardy but I don’t love it with [name]Gavin[/name].
[name]Elijah[/name] [name]Michael[/name]: The flow is not my favorite and it feels very different than [name]Gavin[/name] to me, I think you have many better choices.
[name]Huxley[/name] [name]Michael[/name]: I really like [name]Huxley[/name] I think it works very well with your middle and surname and I love how unconventional it is.
[name]Liam[/name] [name]Michael[/name]: [name]Liam[/name] is a great name and while it is fairly common it works well with [name]Gavin[/name].
[name]Felix[/name] [name]Michael[/name]: My hands down favorite [name]Felix[/name] is such a wonderful name and I absolutely love it with [name]Gavin[/name] such an adorable sibset. [name]Felix[/name] is an upbeat spunky name with a ton of character and a real joyful feel.
[name]Elias[/name] [name]Michael[/name]: Like [name]Elijah[/name] I just feel this seems a bit odd with [name]Gavin[/name], certainly not my favorite.

[name]Tessa[/name] [name]Lynn[/name]: Definitely my favorite [name]Tessa[/name] is lively and colorful and I picture an adorable little girl who is very creative and confident in herself! Not to mention [name]Tessa[/name] and [name]Gavin[/name] is an amazing sibset, too cute!
[name]Norah[/name] [name]Lynn[/name]: I really like [name]Norah[/name] I think it is classic while still being less common allowing it to maintain an air of individuality.
[name]Fiona[/name] [name]Lynn[/name]: [name]Fiona[/name] is lovely but I feel it pales in comparison to [name]Tessa[/name], they both have a similar feel but [name]Tessa[/name] is such a standout that [name]Fiona[/name] seems less desirable.
[name]Aubrey[/name] [name]Lynn[/name]: [name]Aubrey[/name] is alright but I feel the flow is a bit off with [name]Lynn[/name] and since you have so many great girls names I would avoid this.
[name]Arianna[/name] [name]Lynn[/name]: [name]Arianna[/name] is nice but it seems a bit lackluster compared to [name]Tessa[/name] and [name]Norah[/name].
[name]Keira[/name] [name]Lynn[/name]: I like [name]Keira[/name] but not so much with [name]Lynn[/name] and again it just doesn’t compare to [name]Tessa[/name]!

All in all great names! I would go with [name]Felix[/name] [name]Michael[/name] [name]Wright[/name] or [name]Tessa[/name] [name]Lynn[/name] [name]Wright[/name] as they both have a certain spark that really gives them an edge over your other choices. [name]Both[/name] work beautifully with [name]Gavin[/name] and bring their own individual feel to the table. My second choices would be [name]Huxley[/name] and [name]Norah[/name]. I really don’t think you can go wrong in your decision. Can’t wait to see what you pick :slight_smile:

I’m going to rate the names on a scale from 1-10.

Critique my lists…honesty wanted! & suggest others I may like!

Surname=[name]Wright[/name]
[name]Son[/name] # 1=[name]Gavin[/name]

[name]Oliver[/name] - 6, sort of outdated but it’s a nice name.
[name]Caleb[/name] - 7/10 Cute name. reminds me of a skater/surfer. I like it spelled [name]Kaleb[/name] better.
[name]Elijah[/name] - 3/10. Never really liked this name.
[name]Huxley[/name] 1/10
[name]Liam[/name] 9/10. Really cute.
[name]Felix[/name] 1/10. Reminds me of [name]Felix[/name] the cat.
[name]Elias[/name] 0/10. Too outdated.

[name]Tessa[/name] - 7/10. I like this name. [name]Tessa[/name] [name]Mae[/name] and [name]Tessa[/name] [name]Maria[/name] are cute.
[name]Norah[/name] 10/10. [name]One[/name] of my favorite names.
[name]Fiona[/name] - 3/10. Too fantasy-cartoony sounding.
[name]Aubrey[/name] - 2/10, not a fan.
[name]Arianna[/name] - 10/10. [name]One[/name] of my favorites.
[name]Keira[/name] 6/10. It’s ok but not my favorite.

My favorites from you list are:

[name]Gavin[/name] and

  1. [name]Liam[/name] [name]Michael[/name] and 2) [name]Caleb[/name] [name]Michael[/name]
  2. [name]Tessa[/name] [name]Lynn[/name] and 2) [name]Fiona[/name] [name]Lynn[/name]

[name]Liam[/name] and [name]Fiona[/name] seem the most natural fit to me with [name]Gavin[/name], but [name]Caleb[/name] and [name]Tessa[/name] would be great too.

I would say [name]Oliver[/name] but don’t love it with [name]Wright[/name], and same with [name]Norah[/name].

The only name I really don’t like (ie, hate) is [name]Aubrey[/name].
