DH's names vs. my names

lindslalala · July 2013

DS's name is Abe (not Abraham, just Abe). We are TTC #2 next month and are already talking names. Which names do you prefer as a sibset with Abe, and what are your thoughts on the names on our list?

DH: Tate for a boy, Zoe for a girl

Mine: Henry for a boy, Norah for a girl

Mutual: We both really like Lilah for a girl, but I'm not sold on it.

I actually really like Tate, but I don't know if it "goes" well with Abe. Henry is a family name on DH's side. DH hates Norah, but I LOVE it so I'm hoping it will grow on him. I think Zoe is too popular.

I vote Lilah and Henry.

I agree with you that Abe and Tate is kind of awkward to say.
Zoe is ok, but kind of popular for me.
Norah I just can't stand for no apparent reason.

I think Tate and Zoe go best.

I love Henry. I don't like Tate. The only one I knew was a brat and it reminds me of taint.

I love Lila (prefer no h). I don't like Norah at all but Zoe is cute.

Hate Tate. It's awkward and the mean kids can easily derive "taint" from that name.

Zoe and Henry get my vote.

I love Henry. I love Norah too, but if your dh doesn't then you should knock it off your list. Lila is nice, but I prefer this spelling.

I think Abe, Henry and Zoe work best together. I'm not a fan of Tate and do like all 3 girl options but prefer to drop the "h" in the spellings as well.

Lilah & Henry.

I don't like how trendy Henry is right now, but it goes better as a sib set with Abe. I do like Tate and Norah, though. I dislike Zoe.

Same here! They are all nice names and all go well with Abe. But I like your DH choices the best.

I like all of the girl names, although I think Norah and Lilah sound better w Abe. I like both boy names, but I agree that Tate does not go well w Abe. If you are open to suggestions? Eli, Joel, Noah, Jack, Gavin, Holden, Ian, Lucas, Max.
