Im really getting bored with my namelist -_- I mean, I do like Eloise Jade and all, but it doesnt feel fresh anymore! <3

Could you all help me find some new names to add? Im thinking classics, biblical, etc.

And also, Im absolutely adoring Alexandria, Ivy, Laura, and Hanna ;) could I have some middle name suggestions please? Thanks so much!

Noelle
Louisa - I love nick name Lou
Scarlett
Eleanor
Gemma - I love, though Mike doesn't like so much. He loves Emma.
Isabel
Sophia
Emilie - I like, but I'm on the fence with whether I prefer the original spelling :/
Caroline
Samantha
Vivian
Olivia
Laurel
Ella
Elisabeth

Madeline
Claire
Victoria
Rachel
Ava
Teresa
Celeste
Natalie
Lillian
Sidney - I used to adore this name, until some people here downed it :l [before I joined as a member when I sat around the polls.. such rude people there.]
Elise
Madison - lately I'm adoring Madison!! Mostly for the nick name Sunny, but I'm not sure.
Cadence - I am starting to love Cadence, but more so I love Cade on a girl. However D names seem to clash with Mikes last name :l And I love Cadie as well.
Haley
Edie
Ashlynn
Thalia
Elaine
Alexa - love Alexa!! Though I prefer Alexandria <3 I seem to really love all Alex- names!
Alissa - cute! Maybe even Elissa..
Emilia - oh, I love!! Definitely suggesting to Mike<3
Nicola
Hallie
Tessa
Gail
Gracie - I adore it now so much! Though I have cousin Gracie. I only see her on family get togethers, which isn't that often being Aunt RJ doesn't like to come to a lot of them. But would it be an issue do you think?
Jade

Thanks Yas!! The bolded ones are my favorites -_- I'm unsure on a few of them, but I am absolutely loving a lot of them!!!


I have a couple questions! Most of them I listed above, but just in case I'm stating them down here as well:

1. -Son names on girls. I used to dislike them, but now I'm becoming fond of the nick name Sunny and would love a full name for it! I do like Madison that Yas stated above. I thought of Alison but Mikes mothers name is Alyson and I'm pretty sure that though he loves her he doesn't want to name our kiddo that. He didn't like Adelyn, so I'm assuming Addison is probably not an option. Any idea's?

2. Do you think using either Alexa or Alexandria or Gracie would be too close to cousins? I have cousin Alex and cousin Gracie Alexandra. I do see Alex fairly often, I see only see Gracie at family get togethers whenever RJ feels like coming. For Alexandria I'd probably use Andie as a nick name, Alexandria. Possibly Lexie. Alex and Andie wouldn't be to close, though Alex and Lex or Alex and Lexie would be a tad close. I know my kid would probably see Alex fairly often. But Gracie is never seen much by me. So I guess it would be real close but I still never see her :/ Is that still bad?

3. Is Sydney to dated to use now adays do you think? And would I be able to use if if I used Alexandria? Alexandria and Syndey? Two major city names.. Its not a trend I plan to keep. It would be pure coincidence lol.


Those are my only questions for now.. but thanks so much!! ;)

1. -Son names...Sonya/Sonja/Sonia (SAWN ya -or- SOWN ya), Sonorya/Sonora, Emerson, Tamsin/Tamson, Mayson/Mason/Maison.

2. I LOVE the idea of Andie as a nn for Alexandria...or Alexandrea, Alessandra. And I don't think using Alexandria would be too close to your cousins especially if you plan on using the nn Andie. As for Gracie...it may be a bit too close considering your cousin goes by Gracie and she isn't much older than your own children might be.

3. I've also been ho-humming back and forth on Sidney/Sydney a bit recently. Mostly I've been playing around with it as a way to get to the nn Sidda. But when I hear Sidney all I think of is Sidney Prescott from the Scream movies. Sally used to get compared to Neve Campbell a lot and a one of her friends from high school still calls her Sidney when he is trying to get on her nerves. I DO like Sidney, and I think the nn Sid (or Sidda -_- ) is cute for a girl. But I'm not sure if I like it enough to make my list.

Emerson/Emersyn, Grayson/Gracyn, Jaxson/Jaxsyn (my son went to preschool with a Jaxsyn and she went by Jaxi), Kayson/Cason, Mason/Macyn. I'm not a huge fan of the unisex names, but I'm don't think it is terrible. Guess I'm pretty neutral on that. I do like messing with the spelling though to make the name look more feminine. i.e. I love the name Kaydin for a little girl. Very unisex, very girly looking.

2. Do you think using either Alexa or Alexandria or Gracie would be too close to cousins? I have cousin Alex and cousin Gracie Alexandra. I do see Alex fairly often, I see only see Gracie at family get togethers whenever RJ feels like coming. For Alexandria I'd probably use Andie as a nick name, Alexandria. Possibly Lexie.

So I guess it would be real close but I still never see her :/ Is that still bad?

I don't think the family thing is too bad. I have a friend who both him and his sister named their sons Benjamin. The kids thought it was fun and they just used their middle names with their first names when they were around. My immediate family, me and my siblings, have... Carissa, Carson, Kenzie, Kaia, Kayli and Camden

3. Is Sydney to dated to use now adays do you think? And would I be able to use if if I used Alexandria? Alexandria and Syndey? Two major city names.. Its not a trend I plan to keep. It would be pure coincidence lol.

I think Sydney would be fine, I don't think of it as dated. I think Alexandria and Sydney would be great together and not too obvious a theme to the average person. So, switching and not using a city theme wouldn't be an issue.

Glad you liked some of the suggestions. Thinking my dream job would be a baby namer for Cabbage Patch Kids. LOL

If Mike likes Emma, what about Emmeline as a first or middle name? It has an old fashioned, yet fresh feel to it. At least I think so.

Maybe...

Laura Emmeline
Hanna Emmeline
Emmeline Alice
Emmeline Harriet
Hattie Emmeline
Emmeline Victoria
Emmeline Cadence
Hallie Emmeline
Emmeline Grace
Gracie Emmeline
Grayson Emmeline nn Gracie or Sunny
Kayde Emmeline

Thanks so much for these answers!!

Katie, thanks!! I like Sonya! I actually read a book with a girl named Sonja in it.. and I met a girl named Sonja recently!! I don't know why Sonja makes me think of Sophia though.. like, it feels similar though its not. Idk. Maybe a less popular form of it lol! Sonora is lovely, is Sonorya like son-or-ee-ah? I love Emerson! Tamsin is interesting. And I actually am going to be having a cousin named Mayson! Or Maeson.. I'm not sure. She will be little sister to Marissa __ and Taelor Addison. Idk Marissa's middle name.. Lol all so random. I always found Mason to be so manly, but I suppose its going to be her name so we'll see!
And thanks!! I am adoring Andie for Alexandria!! or even Alexandrea or Alessandra. I don't care for either of those quite as much. But they are also nice alternatives. But hmm, true true. Maybe 10 years from now when Gracie's much older and all.. <3
Sidda is a cute nick name- I actually feel like it feels complete by itself ;) Though a lot of names that end in -ah have a full feeling to it in my opinion. Though I do love it as a nick name for Sidney.. <3 I never watched the Scream movies, I have chronic nightmares lol. Like, it takes me months to get over a horror film, months of little to no sleep and lots of paranoia that branches out to things not even related to the movie itself -_- But it doesn't sound like a good association :l I'm not sure if I'd actually use it or not, I'd have to see. But its certainly growing more and more on me!

Kristi, thanks! I like Emerson and Greysin, though I'm unsure of the last one. Cause I like Greyson on a boy.. and I'm not a fan or alternative spellings. <3 Some do look nice, but I like to avoid them :)
Mmm, some kids like it some don't. I think its doable.. but I'm not sure if I like it. Being to close.. almost like siblings. If the extended family is close enough its almost like siblings really where names get confused and all.
Omg, I'd so love that!!! :P I'd be the master namer for the cabbage patch kiddo's!!
And I like these combo's for Emmeline!
Laura Emmeline
Hanna Emmeline
Emmeline Alice
Hattie Emmeline
Emmeline Victoria
Emmeline Cadence
Hallie Emmeline
Gracie Emmeline
Grayson Emmeline nn Gracie or Sunny
I know Mike doesn't like Alice, and I'm not sure how he feels about Hattie or Gracie or Cadence, but I can ask! We'll just have to see. Emmeline certainly makes a great middle name though, thanks!!
