Hmmm... I'd have to go with:
Rose, Indigo, Ruby, Violet, Plum, Lilac, Coral (go by Cora), and Cerise.
I actually really like a couple of these!!
Oooh, i love baby name games! But... Nine at once? I don't think I could handle that....
Girls:
Amalia Grace (nn Amalie); Anna Hazel; Josephine Gabrielle (nn Sophie); Charlotte Marie (Lottie)/Alexandrine Ruby (nn Alex); Elisabeth Mary (nn Lise or Elise); Katharine Rose (Kate)
Boys: William Oliver (Will), Thomas James, and Luca Alexander
@alr: love Naomi Vivienne, with Naomi Violet as a close second. The spunkier choice though would probably be Naomi Violet. @Yet Another Guest: I really like both Simon and Seth, and Tavish is cool, too.
@Chimu, just jumping into the convo, I LOVE Ariadne Juliet, or Ariadne Mathilde. I f you go with Astrid, I really like Ottilie (either pronunciation. But jw, how are you pronouncing it?) I would vote for Ariadne over Astrid, as I really love that name.
@Coll: I prefer May, because I like the way it sounds, and if you sometimes hate Edith, I wouldn't go with it, avoid "namer's regret" if you can!! I also would recommend Faith, Sarah, Elle/Belle, Grace, Maude, Anne, or Opal. I actually like Opal, now that I think about it....
@Gretchen: I feel like Henry 'fits' best with your other 2 kids, and I love the name, so that is my number one. Finn and Blake, respectively, are also great names. Louisa is my absolute favorite of your girls! Followed by Adele and Jane. I am not a huge fan of Matilda (it reminds me of the movie I watched all the time when i was younger - evil parents, magic child). But I do love the nn Tillie.
Lily Mae - 2. The name Lily is great, but i'm not a fan of Mae, maybe choose something longer? Adalaide Elise - 1 i love the name Adelaide Sarah Jane - 5 Great names, but I wouldn't put them together Hannah Grace - 6 Love the name Grace Mollie Claire -8 I like it, but i wouldn't spell Molly with an 'ie' Ellie Rose - 3. Love it. Ruby Olivia - 4 Julia Isabelle - 7 Love both names, but i'm partial to the pared down "Isabel" or "Isobel" (I pronounce all three of these names the same way. Does everyone else??)
@PJ: They are similar, but not TOO similar for me. I have met sisters named Stella and Ella though. That is crazy, I am always calling them the wrong names!
@alr: I like both Naomi Kate and Naomi Violet - in my opinion those are spunky! Some I do like, however: Pippa* Tate Emma Grace Leah/Lia Mia* Cara Elaina* Becca/Beckah*/Rebecca Julia Scarlett I starred my faves. I fell in love with Pippa (the name, lol) after I watched the royal wedding. Gorgeous girl and fun, cute name!!
@Empathy: I do like Locke - cool without trying too hard. Adler sounds very surname-y to me. Ryker, is for me, immediately Riker's Island. (Too much Law and Order, anybody?) I would suggest: Kael Max Ivo (I have a secret love for this name, idk why.) Archer Leo To name a few. @knp: I will second the comment on the Bachelor's 'Vienna.' I never watched the show, but heard about it nonstop from friends. Other than that, I like what you already have. To add to the fans of Daphne Aurora, I really love it. Also, I really like two of @Chimu's suggestions, Annelise and Ariadne. I like Aurora for a middle name for both, but I don't know if that s too "A" heavy for you. Also, what about" Violet Aurora Clare Aurora (Anglicized Chiara if you really liked that) Isabelle/Isobel Aurora Genevieve is also a great suggestion. Just a few ideas off the top of my head. Love all your names though, esp. Tatiana and Aurora!!
Congrats, knp!!
@larksong and everyone else that commented on Amelie: Thanks for the comments. Its reassuring knowing that NEs like it, too!! In response to the names posted last post (in the comments) I really love all of them. And I agree, if I was to repeat first initials (I'm also really drawn to other A names) I would try to make the rest of the name different. For example, I know a brother and sister whose names are similar to Carly and Chandler. Very different sounds, I think, so it doesn't really bother me.
Like I've mentioned before, I am nowhere near having children, but at this point in my life, I feel like 4 would be great. I want a big family, but not too big that I couldn't give one child at a time my complete attention. And as it is right now, I cannot find a single person that likes (even slightly) my fave name "Amelie." Which is kind of discouraging, but to each his own. So, it doesn't affect my choices of names right now, but I'm sure it will in the future.
I agree Barnacle:Hope and Hannah sound equally as nice, as do Claire and Isabel, or Adele and Nellie. @Lillo, some of these were kind of difficult, niceness-wise.
@Janie: Ellie or Elly: Both Clare Skylar Madison Mackenzie/McKenzie. Cameron Isabel/Isobel Kate Isla Leah Paige Adeline Evelyn Generally speaking, I like traditional spellings/names. @Lillo: Sophia Hope or Hannah Piper Addie Amelia Claire Maddie Adele
I agree with a lot of posters here: Aidan is fine, as is Caitlin - But Aadenn and Katelynne (I've seen these irl!!) drive me up the wall!! I generally dislike kre8yve spellings, so it also bothers me when people say "Oh, you have a very... interesting spelling of your name,' when it is actually just a more traditional way of spelling it. (Think Anne instead of Ann.) Also, @Patricia, the "Most-Hated" concept also confuses me. For instance, my favorite name right now is Amelie, which by the family members I have shared it with (I am NOT expecting or anywhere close, so I don't mind) say 'it sounds like breakfast food/Amish/omlettes' etc. I was surprised by their strong reactions to what I view as a nice name. So, essentially, I'm just trying to say this is a very subjective idea.
@Esp78: How about Micah Alexander? That way you can still use the name you love, but without it being too obvious. I like Gideon also, but it kind of sounds like "get in pool" !! How about Jacob (Jake) Alexander... that way you kind of get to honor his dad and grandpa, Jack/Jake?
@PennyX: In my opinion, India is fine for a girl, I know a teenage India, and she has really made the name for me, I guess. I haven't heard of any problems, although I still probably wouldn't use it. I do have a soft spot for the name Indigo for a girl - generally not my style, but whatever! India also kind of sounds like Lindy/Lindley, or Mindy/Melinda... Idk, it is so unique!
@LiseyLoo: Congratulations!! I am also in agreement: set2 is too matchy-matchy for me. I love set1 and set3, but I feel like Hannah could be replaced with Claire or Danielle. Also, like @zoerhenne said, I like the idea of all French-y names: Natalie Elise Adelaide Marie (Addie) Caroline Elisabeth Claire Madeleine Also, if I was looking at the names you have listed, here are some combos I'd probably choose: Nathalie Rose (I love the H. idk why, but I feel like it dresses up the name.) Piper Elisabeth Piper Danielle Amelia Rose Caroline Marie Julia Claire Leah Danielle Hope that that is helpful. Good luck, and let us all know when/what you decide :)
Also, @Chimu: I recently rediscovered Josephine. Its a family name, and I'm growing to really love it.
