I've really been cracking down on names for the past 48 hours... and am hoping to break through my naming block. My boys names have been doing fine. I'm honestly really happy with them. Still the same..

Roman Grey // Roman Connor
Hale Nicastro (Nicastro after my grandparents)
Archer Cole
Connor Flynn (not entirely sure on this yet)
Milo Caleb // Milo Gavin (just in the thoughts)

I've been reconsidering quite a few of my older names, and added a few new ones while I was at it. But this is what it looks like, for now :) I'm happy. If I had a boy right now, I don't think I'd hesitate to name him Roman. Though honestly, Archer has also been growing on me more and more.

For girls, I am getting there! I'm happier with it now :)

Charlotte Willow "Cha cha"
Hadley Victoria "Haddie"
Rosalind ______ "Rosie"
Juniper Margaret "JuneBug" or "June"
Emily Tessa
Amelia Lacey
Delilah Sophie
Alana Kate
Eva Jade // Ava Jade
Ophelia Isabel
Linnea Caroline
Penelope Aura


Okay, so my boys names are set. You can feel free to comment if you want, but I'm all set on them. I'm mainly looking for opinions on my girls names. I wrote my thoughts about particular combo's below, so if you want further insight. But most these names are on Guilty Pleasure status right now. I'll raise them up if I fall for them more. My biggest dilemma is that if I have a girl, her middle name will be Jade to honor Mike's grandmother. I decided to make combo's for a lot of names even though the combo would probably become invalid as if I use it I would only use the first name I love... Mike doesn't like two middle names at all, though I'd like that. I think, example, Hadley Victoria Jade would be lovely. Maybe I can convince him otherwise if I actually have a girl lol. But eh, we'd have to see. So... I'm mainly looking for opinions here. But I'm always opened to suggestions! <3

Hadley Victoria has been my favorite lately, maybe even Hadley Amelia if I think of it now... but Hadley none the less. One of my issues here is though, that there seems to be only a subtle difference in "Hadley" and "Haddie".. is it silly to use a nick name for a name that sounds almost exactly the same? You can barely here the difference in Hadley and Haddie, really. Though I love Haddie.. WDYT?
I'm falling for Rosalind, I really like it! I might end up just using it as a middle name, but I feel like it flows off the tongue well. Plus Rosie is a super cute nick name. I'd love to have a little Rosie. Rosalind Victoria came to mind as a combo, but I don't like any of my combo's to share middle names. Any first or middle name suggestions? I'm open to anything.
Juniper Margaret isn't really set. I feel like they flow well, and they sound pretty good. Juniper Charlotte feels like the perfect combo, but Charlotte is a first name in my list now so now Juniper needs another middle name. I think the old fashioned, traditional name made Juniper feel more like a proper combo to me.. which is what let Margaret to being there now.
Amelia Lacey is a bit different than most my combo's. Normally I greatly dislike Lacey, it feels like a strippers name to me :blush: but Mike loves Lacey. I think putting it as a middle name would be nice, plus it fits in well with classic, timeless Amelia.
I love Delilah lately, and Sophie is super cute. I only like Sophie as a middle name, and I don't mind wherever Delilah goes. I'm not in love with the combo, but they do fit for now..
Alana Kate I'm not set on, but again, they do go together well enough. Alana needs a short middle name, and one with a sturdy consonant. Kate has two of them in a one syllable name. So I guess I do like how they are together.. but I'm still not convinced. Time shall tell..
Ophelia and Isabel I just threw together. I don't necessarily like them together, but I want a combo for them.
Linnea Caroline is kinda cute, if I do say so myself. My middle name is Lynette, so I think it'd be cute to pass down my name a little to my future kiddo, though indirectly. Its another name that flows off the tongue well. And Caroline seems to suit it fine.
Penelope Aura I do like, though I also threw them together. I do like it, but don't adore it. I remember having Penelope Clara on my list, but I'm not in love with Clara anymore. Especially since Mike trashed it :mellow: And I had Penelope June on my list, but Juniper is on my list as well so June can't be there... nor Jane, which I also had Penelope Jane. So I'm in need of middle names for Penelope. I'm also iffy on it lately, as the latest Kardashian baby was named Penelope, Mason's little sister. It weirds me out to use a name she used.. even though I know nothing of her or her show or whatever. Like Penelope is going to become the next Olivia.. and I'd be sad if Penelope lost its gentle, old fashioned, more unique feel to it.

Love you, girls!! x

Honestly, though some aren't entirely my style, they are all very very cute/handsome/pretty! Honestly! Though the only thing I have about one of your names is with Hale Nicastro. It used to be I wasn't a fan since it was so surname-y but now it just clicked in my head that it sounded like "Hail Castro!" (Especially since I say it with an accent in my head for some reason) and that just seems a big No-No for me. Perhaps not for you, I'm just throwing it out there in case that would be a thing for you. Other than that your entire list is really lovely!

Rosalind Suggestions:
Rosalind Casey
Rosalind Noelle
Rosalind Marina
Rosalind Cecilia
Rosalind Gianna/Gia
Rosalind Renee
Rosalind Amelia
Rosalind Paisley
Rosalind Elise
Rosalind Michaela
Rosalind Clarissa
Rosalind Clarice
Rosalind Marissa

(I can't seem to imagine Rosalind as a middle name so I can't really think of any combos with first names :P )

Like any? :D

I noticed the Hail Castro thing myself in Hale Nicastro. I mean, I pronounce the Ni- in Nicastro very much (nick-AH-strow), but when I posted about that in my previous post I dont remember much feedback from it :( hmm...

Thanks so much for Rosalind suggestions!! I like these suggestions..
Rosalind Casey (Mike loves Casey)
Rosalind Cecelia
Rosalind Renee
Rosalind Amelia (I love Amelia, though moreso as a first name unfortunately)
Rosalind Elise

I'm not head over heels yet, but I sure do appreciate these suggestions!! :) thank you!!! <3
