I think I've found more girl names ...Hi Sarah,<br /><br />I think I've found more girl names I like than boys names---which probably means we'll have a boy :) But, currently, here are the girls names we like best: <br />Violet<br />Jemima<br />Winifred<br />Susanna<br />Adelaide<br />Genevieve<br />Josephine<br />Cecilia<br />Calantha (I'd never heard this one before, but I love it!)<br />Dorothy (nn Daisy?)<br />Ophelia<br />Giselle<br /><br />Here's a question: thinking of other ways to get to the nickname Daisy, do you think "Adelaide" could work? The two names sound sort of similar to me, so calling a little Adelaide "Daisy" doesn't seem like too much of a stretch, but my husband isn't sure about that. The other names we've thought of that nn to Daisy are "Anastasia," "Dorothy," and "Desdemona." Do any of those seem good to you?<br /><br />Another name I just started thinking of (still not sure if I love it, but I like it) is "Aurelia." I like nns "Ari" and "Lia", and I think it's pretty on it's own too---sounds kind of old-fashioned and elegant. (I picture a lady with her hair up and a high-collared blouse---like someone from "Anne of Green Gables").<br /><br />As far as our current favorite boys names:<br />Augustus/August (my husband likes August better, and I like Augustus)<br />Phineas<br />Lorenzo<br />Tobias<br />Theodore<br />Orlando<br />Raphael<br />Jasper<br />Gilbert<br />Alasdair<br />Archibald (my gr. grandpa's name, and I think "Archie" or "Archer" is cute as a nn)<br /><br />We tried to cut out any that were obviously "Bible" names, because two of our other three have Bible names, and we didn't want Sebastian to be the only one without.<br /><br />So, that's where we are right now. I always welcome your input and ideas, and I'll keep you posted if we find any new ones we like! :) Have you come across anything new or interesting lately? (Like you said, more inspiration never hurts!)<br /><br />Thanks,<br />MarilynMarilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17085334272613025173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692559007756734710.post-66641327710827991632009-06-08T23:47:36.636+08:002009-06-08T23:47:36.636+08:00Wow!!

My husband and I spent several hours yesterday going through your ideas and discussing them (we're nerdy like that) :) He is from a big family (9 kids, all of whom have 1-8 kids themselves!!) so several of these good names are "taken" by cousins, but you gave us a lot of new ideas and we're grateful! I will keep you posted and let you know where our thinking goes. :)<br /><br />And also---thank you for liking my name :) I always felt like it was a little old for me (I was born in 1980) but oddly enough I had 2 other Marilyns in my school class, so I guess it wasn't THAT unusual.<br /><br />I love your blog---thanks again for all your help!Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17085334272613025173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692559007756734710.post-519930491076716942009-06-08T09:27:11.087+08:002009-06-08T09:27:11.087+08:00While I wouldn't consider Violet too popular y...While I wouldn't consider Violet too popular yet (I do not consider 183 to be anything to worry about),however the fact that it rose so suddenly would leave me concerned too. That might indicate that it will only become even more popular. I find it irritating, because like Isabella and Sophia (which were both favorite names of mine as a little girl), and Violet is also another favorite but not one I ever really planned to use. <br /><br />Violet does make a great middle name and she might want to consider using it as a middle name instead.Dear Europehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12805876291719494581noreply@blogger.com
