Just for fun - future LO.

msronzio

I'm expecting a boy next month, but DH and I had some trouble with girls' names. We definitely know what we like, but there are just so many beautiful options. Now I'm curious for all of your opinions! Help me with a possible future LO?

So I'm in love with the name Naomi. DH liked it, but he didn't love it. When he heard the name Roslyn, he fell for it, hard! Which spelling is best? Roslyn, Rosalyn, or Rosaline? It feels most natural to me typing Roslyn but I'm not sure how others feel about this. Also, her last name would be Ry.nard. Is the alliteration too much?

Here's the tough part... The dreaded MN. I liked Naomi because I wanted to continue the tradition of her MN being Rae. MIL and SIL are Rae. I believe it sounds pretty. DS will have a family name. I don't want LO#2 to feel excluded or like her name didn't have "meaning" (even though these things aren't something most children appreciate until they're our age?). Unfortunately Roslyn Rae Ryn.ard is too many Rs. I'm considering Roslyn Sandra, as that is another super meaningful family name. Still too many Rs? 

What do you think of these? 

Roslyn Lena

Roslyn Emma

Roslyn Eva

Feel free to add your suggestions. This is just for fun! 

Other names I really really like....

Giselle, Madison, Savannah, Amelia, Harper, Norma, Nora, Layla, Audrey, Stella, Sierra, Adelaide, Teagan, Alexa, Piper, Sophia, Antoinette, Victoria

Names I like that are out of the question.... 

Natalie, Jeanette, Taylor, Lydia, Elise

NerdyLucy

My vote is Rosalyn Eva.

 

 

I also like Nora, Sophia and Victoria from your list.

I would say Roslyn as Roz- lynn.  There is a town not to far from me and this is the pron and spelling of that town

Rosalyn I would say roz-ah-lynn.

Rosalind I would say roz-ah-lind

So for me these are 3 different names-- of the three I like the look and sound of Rosalyn best.  It's lovely paired with Sandra.

Have you considered Noemi? I like Noemi Rae or Roslyn Sandra. I think Roslyn Rae Ryn.ard is a bit too much.

Nailed it... That's how I was pronouncing it all along. lol! Rosalyn it is :P Thank you for your feedback on Sandra as a MN.

@StickyBaby I like Noemi, and also dispensed it to DH, but he was not into it. You should have seen us with boy names lol....

I guess I should mention that DS is going to be Lucian Michael. Lucian & Rosalyn? That's saying I spawn a girl next... lol!

Thanks ladies.

Lucian and Rosalyn are a sweet sibset! Congrats on your boy. Any ideas if #2 is also a boy?

@StickyBaby Thank you! So far DH has annexed most of my name suggestions for a boy, and I was trying not to get too excited and ahead of myself The only one he really likes is Gavin. I'm concerned it may be too popular by the time he reaches school age. 

Lucian will go by Luke or Luca depending on which suits him more/what people decide to call him. Dang, I guess I'm pretty much at a loss for what else we'd go with. I like Mason and DH says"but mason jars!" Argh lol

I like Max, Josiah, Brendan, Liam, Spencer, Alexander, Damian, Hunter, Orion (pronounced like the constellation of course)... Wow boys' names are hard. 

My all time favorite boy name is Adrian. I feel like people picture a girl with this name? But I have always loved it. If anyone wants to give advice on boys too, feel free haha!
