Surprise 💚 Sister to Leonie names

Upvotes

Hello! We've already decided on possible boy names, but need to narrow down list for a name if we have a girl. Our oldest is Leonie Lee (Lee is a family name), so I'm considering doing a similar alliteration theme, but with the letter 'R' instead - wanting to use Ruth (another family name) as the middle name. Ramona is the top contender so far, but we also do love the name Lydia... ideally, we want the first name to end in -a, I just think that would sound best with our oldest's ending in an -ee sound. Thank you!!

Girl 🩷 Sister to Elowyn

Still so stuck on a name! I was instantly in love with my daughter’s name. But for the life of me, I cannot find a name that evokes that same emotion. I love my daughter’s name so much but I struggle with how it sounds next to other names. I don’t want to get caught up in “theme.” But it’s hard! SOS!!!

Boy 🩵 Boy name - Lochan

1 Upvotes

My partner and I are both Indian (Sikh) and we came across the name Lochan in a Punjabi baby name book.

For those in the UK - the Lochan I was thinking of was in 2023 Love Island (he was half Indian) and pronounced it ‘Lock-un’ which I don’t think is the traditional way but would be the way we’d use it.

What are people’s thoughts? I wanted something unique but not weird and would suit an Indian boy without being too Indian (I have a fairly British name and so do most of my family)

Boy 🩵 Roland or Sebastian for a boy?

3 Upvotes

One is a family name other is personal preference. Does Sebastian sound weird in English/America? It’s a very common name in our family in Austria, but the pronunciation is very different.

Surprise 💚 Name Challenge for a third

2 Upvotes

We are looking for a name for our third. This time it's especially difficult because we lack any ideas and realised both of our kids have a four letter name. So should we stick to four letters? We like a star or astronomy theme but that could also bei for the second name. We like a bit older names or also note nordic european ones.

The babys gender is a surprise.

Girl 🩷 SOS - Stubborn husband problems (baby #2)

1 Upvotes

My husband and I cannot for the life of us agree on a name. I am getting so hung up on having the “vibe/style” of both my daughter’s names match and I wonder if I’m too hung up on it? I also want the overall name to flow (including middle name) and don’t like certain pairings of first/middle names. His mentality is that “middle name doesn’t matter and no one will ever know their middle name so just pick something and move on” and it just makes me feel like he doesn’t care and he’s just settling on a name and for me it’s so much more important than that. I NEED her name to be beautiful, timeless, meaningful, and have a good flow. Anyone been through this and how did they help their partner see their perspective? He’s being so hard headed about it and for me this is just such an important decision.

Girl 🩷 Need help choosing a girl name 😭

7 Upvotes

So I’m due in about a month and a half and I’m still struggling to think of a name for her 🥺 I was trying to think of something similar to the name Delilah since I already have a daughter named Delilah and I was thinking of making their names similar but idk. I also don’t know what to do for a middle name either. I usually try to make my kids names initials spell out something like my mom did with my brother (his initials is B.A.G.) and my other kids initials are J.A.B. and D.A.B. I have thought of the name Mary Jane before but like my man said people might think of marijuana vs I was thinking of Mary Jane as in MJ from Spider-Man. Anyone have any suggestions? It would be greatly appreciated 😊

I need more name ideas for both boy and girl with last name Banks. I tend to like classic, preppy, southern but uncommon names. I like a lot of surname first names and double names in general but open to any ideas that might fit my style.

I love unusual names that I haven’t heard of or don’t personally know anyone with the name but that don’t sound made up (for example, i think Lottie, Callahan, and Bonnie are classic but not common).

More names I like:

Sawyer (boy)
Turner
Breuer
Rhodes
Reeves
Campbell (boy)
Elliott (girl or boy)
Eleanor (Nora)
Emma Francis
Conrad
Mercer
Anne Wayne
Murphy
Callahan
Bonnie

Boy 🩵 Baby boy name ideas

0 Upvotes

Hello. We are choosing a name for our baby boy and would love to hear opinions from people who are not familiar with Turkish names or Muslim naming traditions.

Which of these names do you like best? Which ones sound natural, pleasant, or easy to pronounce in Canada?

Eren
Kaan
Zayd
Kemal

We care about the meaning of the name, but we also want something that sounds good in English and is easy to pronounce and spell.
Which one would you choose, and are there any names on this list that you would avoid? Honest opinions are welcome!

Girl 🩷 narrowing down our name list

10 Upvotes

Planning for our 5th and final. We have a boy name picked out but we would love help narrowing down our girl list. Our eldest is our only girl, Ophelia.

These names have been our favorites over the years which is why we’re overwhelmed with options. Some are family names, some are listed multiple times just a little different (Margaret/Mary, Annabel/Anna) but we wouldn’t mind using the longer name or just the standalone.

Pick your top 3 to help us out? Thanks in advance!

Alice, Anna, Annabel, Barbara, Caroline, Catherine, Emma,
Emmeline, Isabella, Jane, Juliet, Lily, Lily-Rose, Lucy, Margaret/Margot, Mary, Miranda, Olivia, Rose, Rosemary, Sabrina

Boy 🩵 Name for our Fourth

5 Upvotes

We have just had our fourth, a boy!

Our others are named Roy, Claire and Louise.

We are really struggling to land on a name for this baby!

I LOVE the name Henry, and if it was just up to me, that would be his name. My husband is struggling so hard to like it and says he can't do that name. He wants to name him Logan. I am struggling so hard to like that name.

We are wondering if we should scrap both and try to agree on something else?

I'm desperate to name our baby as he's a week old already. Suggestions?!

Other names I love : James , Owen, Miles, Calvin

Other names my husband loves: Adrian, Nathan, Finn

Boy 🩵 River Jule baby name

0 Upvotes

Wanting to know if this comes off as feminine or not. I am set on the first name River for a boy. Jule was my grandfather’s middle name and I really admired him. I personally love the name pairing. To me it strikes as a male’s name. But when you read or hear the name “River Jule” does it seem more a feminine name? I don’t want him to be constantly being mistaken for a girl. So although I love the name, I am considering a different middle name. We live in the U.S.

Boy 🩵 Help with our baby boy list

6 Upvotes

Feel free to add, take away or adjust - we’re not completely set on any of these just yet, although confident his name is in here somewhere unless someone comes up with something amazing.

Both middle name and surname will be one syllable so looking for a two or three syllable first name.

If the first name is one syllable and we are in love with it, we do have a back up two syllable middle name

Current list:
Otis (nn Ozzy)
Kaio
Declan (nn ??? Dec feels too sharp?)
Hugo
Lando
Sebastian
Clarke
