Hi, everyone! Here's my name list as of right now. Please give me your comments, opinions, critiques, and suggestions. I know this post is sort of long, so just help in any way you want to / can. Thank you so much!


Girls
Abigail Gemma (Abby) - I'm not sure if this combo has the best flow. I really like both names though. Do you like this combo? Do you have any other suggestions of middle names for Abigail and first names for Gemma?

Brooke Natalie - I know not a lot of people like Brooke... but I really like it with Natalie! WDYT?

Clara Millicent - I always go back and forth with Clara... but I like this new middle name. WDYT?

Fiona Carmen - I'm not 100% sold on Fiona, but I do like it with Carmen. WDYT?

Hallie/Holly Virginia - I'm still debating between Hallie and Holly. =/ Some people say Hallie is dated and too nicknamey; others say Holly is too Christmasy or "harsh" sounding. WDYT? Should I kick both off my list? (PS - I like Hayley as an alternative, but only as a middle name because I know many Hayleys!)

Jane Elizabeth - Some people say Jane is plain, but I think it's beautiful and totally plan on using it someday!

Lily Margaret - Definitely one of my favorite combos. Lily is one of the few names I actually see myself using in the future.

Paige Vanessa/Savannah/? - Yes, Paige is back on the list, hee hee! Do you like either of these middle names? Do you have any other suggestions?

Phoebe Katherine - One of my other favorite combos of the moment. <3 WDYT?

If you were to add a name(s) to my list, what would you add? I'm open to all suggestions. Thanks!

Boys

Charles Ellery (Charlie) - I find this name very handsome, even though a lot of people think Ellery is too feminine.

Henry Connor - My all time favorite boy name! WDYT?

James Arlen - Love this name! Arlen is a family name. WDYT?

Luke Benjamin - A new addition. I'm really liking Luke right now. WDYT? Do you have other middle name suggestions, or do you like Benjamin?

Scott Nicholas - I'm feeling a little iffy on this one. I don't know if I love it just yet. WDYT?

Theodore Franklin (Theo) - I love the name Theo!! Do you like Franklin?

Thomas Richard (Tom, Tommy) - I'm in love with the name Thomas, even if it is sort of old fashioned. I know Richard is really old fashioned too, but it is a family name. WDYT?

If you could add a name(s) to my list, what would you add? I'm open to all suggestions. Thanks!

Abigail Gemma
Brooke Natalie
Hallie Virginia
Jane Elizabeth
Lily Margaret
Phoebe Katherine

Charles Ellery
Henry Connor
Luke Benjamin
Scott Nathaniel
Theodore Franklin
Thomas Richard

You have some lovely combos on your list!

[Katie-Nana]

I LOVE Hallie/Halle (If it didn't rhyme with Sally it would be on my list!) I think Hallie is classic and sophisticated where Hayley is cutesy and juvenile. Holly is okay but a girl I knew in highschool ruined this name for me. I think Hallie Virginia is perfect and one of my favorites from your list.

I also love Phoebe Katherine, Jane Elizabeth, & Lily Margaret!



I ADORE Charles Ellery. Ellery might have a slightly feminine sound but I think that is fine in the middle name spot. It is sooo handsome! And I think the nn Charlie is adorable (if only a certain brother-in-law hadn't ruined it for me )

I also love James Arlen, Theodore Franklin & Thomas Richard.

Abigail Gemma (Abby) - I'm not sure if this combo has the best flow. I really like both names though. Do you like this combo? Do you have any other suggestions of middle names for Abigail and first names for Gemma?
I actually think the flow here is wonderful! I guess it would partially depend on the last name. But though I'm not a huge fan of Abigail, I think this combo is pretty! However, I think Abigail Harlow, Abigail Wren, Abigail Tess, Abigail Fern, Eloise Gemma, Caroline Gemma, Sophia Gemma, or Arielle Gemma would all be lovely!

Brooke Natalie - I know not a lot of people like Brooke... but I really like it with Natalie! WDYT?
I love this one too! There are a lot of people named Brooke, but its still really lovely. And definitely sounds good with Natalie! Natalie Brooke would also be a great choice if you love Natalie more!

Clara Millicent - I always go back and forth with Clara... but I like this new middle name. WDYT?
Lovely! I'm not a fan of Millicent, but Clara Millicent is a great combo! I love Clara myself! Its so feminine and beautiful and classic! I just love it! But I do know what you mean, cause I go back and forth on actually using it :l Its definitely on my list, but no idea if I'll really use it

Fiona Carmen - I'm not 100% sold on Fiona, but I do like it with Carmen. WDYT?
I'm not a huge fan of either name, but I do think these two go together well!

Hallie/Holly Virginia - I'm still debating between Hallie and Holly. =/ Some people say Hallie is dated and too nicknamey; others say Holly is too Christmasy or "harsh" sounding. WDYT? Should I kick both off my list? (PS - I like Hayley as an alternative, but only as a middle name because I know many Hayleys!)
Mm, I know what you mean about Hayley! So sadly popular But I personally prefer Hallie to Holly. Honestly, both of them are equally "nick namey", so using one over the other wont help. Though I personally do see Hallie aging better But that may just be personal opinion. I suppose it is dated in a sense, but its just so gorgeous!! Its very soft and feminine <3 Holly I do see as very christmasy, however thats not a bad association! I think you should go by whichever makes you happier, I suppose! You could always save it and see what future SO says about it! Or even wait to see the babies face Maybe she'll look more like one than the other?

Jane Elizabeth - Some people say Jane is plain, but I think it's beautiful and totally plan on using it someday!
I totally agree on Jane!! I suppose in a sense its a bit plain, but its just so beautiful I love it!! And Elizabeth suits it perfectly <3 so classic! You can never go wrong with classics

Lily Margaret - Definitely one of my favorite combos. Lily is one of the few names I actually see myself using in the future.
Love!! <3

Paige Vanessa/Savannah/? - Yes, Paige is back on the list, hee hee! Do you like either of these middle names? Do you have any other suggestions?
I love both! Flow is perfect, each sound lovely. I think I prefer Vanessa by a tiny bit, but both are great <3

Phoebe Katherine - One of my other favorite combos of the moment. <3 WDYT?
Aww, adorable!!!


Charles Ellery (Charlie) - I find this name very handsome, even though a lot of people think Ellery is too feminine.
Haaandsome! I don't think Ellery is too feminine at all. It just makes me think celery :/

Henry Connor - My all time favorite boy name! WDYT?
LOVE <3

James Arlen - Love this name! Arlen is a family name. WDYT?
Great one!

Luke Benjamin - A new addition. I'm really liking Luke right now. WDYT? Do you have other middle name suggestions, or do you like Benjamin?
I think Luke Benjamin is handsome I'm not a fan of Luke, but its nice. Luke Oliver, Luke Nathaniel, Luke Zachary, and Luke Warren are all handsome alternatives if your not sure on Benjamin though <3

Scott Nicholas - I'm feeling a little iffy on this one. I don't know if I love it just yet. WDYT?
Hmm, I'm not a huge fan of either. But its nice! The flow is good, the names suit each other.

Theodore Franklin (Theo) - I love the name Theo!! Do you like Franklin?
Omg ahh!! I love it!! It almost makes me think presidential. but thats not a bad thing I adore Theodore though, and it suits Franklin! Love love love <3

Thomas Richard (Tom, Tommy) - I'm in love with the name Thomas, even if it is sort of old fashioned. I know Richard is really old fashioned too, but it is a family name. WDYT?
I used to adore Thomas, but association ruined it. Its nice though! And works well with Richard


Hope this helps!

[Meghan<3]

Thanks, ReadeAlexandra and Remy!

I really like your suggestions. I'll have to go and sort through them later when I have more time, but I really appreciate your help! Thank you both!
