lexi Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 We’re expecting another girl! Ahh! I’m all out of names! I need ideas! The rules are: It cannot start with A, B, C, E, H, or J. It cannot be a biblical name. I would love for it to be two syllables. All of my kids have 2 syllable names. Bonus points for a name that does not end in an /ee/ sound. (We have several of those already). Our last name starts with H and is 3 syllables. It ends in an /er/ sound. So no names that would rhyme with that ending. Here are the names of my children: Ellie Cora Jaylyn Adley Brynlee Jaxon So what goes well with those names? Help me! This munchkin is due on the 4th of July and my hubby jokingly calls her “Merrika†I need some real name options! Lol! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s just enjoying making me crazy. He doesn’t actually like that name at all. He just thinks it’s hilarious. He’s mostly excited that the baby could be born on or right around his birthday. But he’s not super helpful with names at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I’m starting to call my kids by the wrong name. I’m confusing myself. I’m really trying to find a name that sounds different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s mostly excited that the baby could be born on or right around his birthday. But he’s not super helpful with names at the moment. Yeah, I know. I just thought you should throw him so optons. LOL My dh is just like that. I couldn't get him engaged in reasonable discussions about names until the very end. He was in seminary during my first pregnancy and kept suggesting weird Old Testament names like Mahamaherhasbat or something like that. When I told him to suggest something reasonable, he said, "Otto." Oh, brother. Somehow they ended up named. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freesia Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Dh liked to tease me with “Chrysogenous.†I had a friend named Merika growing up! He'd get along great with dh. They could bond over their ridiculous wives who thought that you should discuss babynames reasonably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsRobinson Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I love 'ee' ending names, too. Mine is and so is my daughter's. :) I also love that you have a Cora. One of my favs. We cannot use any name with an R anywhere in the name because it just does not work with our last name. So here are my R names I love and will never get to use! ;) Georgia Norah Lorin/Lauren (they sound the same to me) Rowen If its not spelled with the biblical spelling, is that ok? :laugh: Because then I'd add: Sara Rebecca Though I vastly prefer Rebekah. ;) Charlotte has a C but a different sound.

Daria Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I typed your list into Nymbler, and got some very bad sibling suggestions (e.g. Ella or Jaelyn, which are both fine names that would be be confusing with the names you have).

Goodbye Leah and Danielle! Could you convince yourself that Mikayla isn't really a derivative of Michael? Obviously, I really like Mikayla.

Farrar Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Nymbler is a naming app that gives you more names that "go with" the names you enter. Entering your kids names generates: Charlotte Zoe Harper Karyn Kaylen Makayla Lena Kaci ...among others. I like the Zada suggestion above. I like Z names... Zola, Zadie, Zuri... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happypamama Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Mika Karis, Kara Kellan Ida Daphne Lily Rosa Sara Brenna Quinn (but only one syllable) Bridget Ruby You’ve got a mix, with several contemporary names at the end, so you could continue in that vein, or you could go back with classic like you have in Ellie and Cora, and it would all go well, I think. So many choices! Any family last names that would fit? Or does your husband’s name have a feminine form, since she’s due around his birthday? My favorite girls’ names are Katherine, Abigail, Elizabeth, Laura, Alice, Julia, Anne, and Caroline, but I don’t think they fit with your other names. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
