I'm trying to make sure I have at least a top two for boys and girls. I'm struggling though. Help? :) 

 

** Siblings being Archer Cohen Bear and Atlas Fraser Finch ** 

 

For boys, my top two first names are Watson and Theodore. I like the middle names Rhys, Lee, Cole, and potentially Colt.. Lee would honor my partners great grandfather that he was close to. I would want two middle names. I don't love how any of them sound together though as they're all one syllable. I definitely don't care for Colton, maybe Colby but not really... so basically lengthening these options doesn't help me. 

 

For girls.... yikes. Our styles differ greatly. Part of the issue being I'm planning on legally changing my name to Genevieve Remy. I'd likely be still called Remy and possibly Gen/ Genny. (Remy isn't originally in my birth name but so many friends have called me Remy that it feels like I should add it. ANYWAY. He likes the idea of using Genevieve with the nickname Evie. We both love the nickname Evie. It's not my favorite girls name but I can be happy with the compromise of using it. I can't see myself using Evie alone, nor using Evelyn, Eva, or Eve. We both sorta like Fiona. I don't know that it's love but.. I may grow more on it. Mabel or Mae is preferred to be somewhere in the middle name. Likely two middle names here as well. I love Maeve but Mike definitely said no to that but is opened to Mabel or Mae, possibly. I adore most all forms of Rose. I have Rosa, Rosetta, Rosalind, and Primrose on my list. He doesn't like Rose much though unfortunately... I adore the nickname Posy for all of them, it's my top name. :'( I love Penelope with the nickname Poppy lately but another no from him. He loves Emma and Aubrey but I really don't. Plus I really don't want another A name. He loves Ellie but I prefer full names for it... though I'm not closed off to Ellie as a nickname. I love longer names with nickname options. Nicknames are a must for me. 

 

Anyway. If anyone has any ideas that'd be swell. :) Thank you!!

Boys middle ideas (multi-syllable):

 

Isaac

Everett

Wyatt

Simon

Miles

Felix

Leo (two syllables, honoring Lee if you decide not to use it directly)

Tucker

Jasper

Thomas

 
Girls
 

Ways to get to Evie & Ellie:


Evelina

Evangeline
Eleanor

Elizabeth/Elisabeth

Eliza

Elise

Eliana/Elliana

Eloise

Penelope (also offers Penny and Nellie/Nelly)


Other ideas:


Lucy

Nora (via Eleanor(a) or similar)

Stella (could be a creative way to get to Ellie)

Beatrice

Rory (via Lorelei or Aurora)

Vivian/Vivienne

Camille

Tessa/Tess

Odette

Magnolia

Hazel

Thank you!! :) I like Everett and Jasper. I'm not sure if I'd use them but I could maybe see them growing on me. :) Oh Everett made me think of Everest! Like, Theodore Everest Rhys? 

 

I like Eleanor, Eloise, and Penelope a lot! Penelope has so many great nicknames.. I've been leaning towards Poppy but Ellie, Nellie, Penny.. so many greats! My partner has said no to all three but maybe he'll grow on them. <3 

 

I also like Nora, Stella, Vivienne, and Maisie. So gorgeous. I know my partner doesn't like them but... again, maybe he'll grow on something? Haha.

Okay, so you have a bit of a pattern with your boys names so far, 2 syllables, 2 syllables, 1 syllable. I'm not going to leave suggestions all like that, but having that in mind, the first suggestion that came to mind was: Watson Carter Lee.

 

Theodore Colson Rhys (or Coulson if you're a fan of Agents of Shield ;))

Watson Henry Knox

Theodore Scott Elias

Watson Beau Brooks

Theodore Jackson Quinn

Watson Vaughn Oliver

Theodore Henry Jude

Watson Pierce Owen

 

Ways to Ellie

Laurel

Melanie

Elowen

Elodie

Ellery

Ellen/Helen

Estelle

Janelle

Danielle

Ellis

Elsa

Delphine

Elsie

Elena/Helena

Elspeth

 

Ways to Evie

Ever

Yvonne/Evonne

Beverly

Vivienne

Evita

(Would you be open to it being an initial nickname? Evie...EV?)

Esme Violet

Emily Victoria

Eden Viveca

Eileen Veronica/Valencia

Ember Vanessa

 

For Posy

Mariposa

Josephine

Persephone

 

Other Suggestions

Felicity

Bianca

Maia/Maya

Heather

Thea

Willa

Cara/Kara

Olive

Lula

Juniper

Wendy

 

I hope this helps at least a little!  :)

Thank you!! :) 

 

I like these suggestions: 

 

Theodore Colson Rhys 

Elowen 

Elodie 

Elsie 

Ever  :wub:

Vivienne 

I like Eden but our surname starts with Ed- so it's a little too alliterative for me. ): I like Violet as well. 

I like Mariposa, Josephine, and Persephone! 

Thea

Willa 

Olive 

Juniper 

 

I'm not sure if I'd use all of them in real life.. but it's definitely along the right lines! I could see myself using Ever and Elsie though, ahh! <3 I love Vivienne a lot too so maybe.. I love Juniper/ Juno/ June but my partner said absolutely no :(
