Feeling meh.

Nat009 · June 2016

Hoping for a bit of inspiration for team green baby #2! In my third tri now and there are plenty of names that hubs and I like, but nothing that we love/are 100% sure on. For girl, we like Sage most. I also like Francis and Naomi, but he doesn't. For boy, our top runner is Ezra. I'm nervous about how quickly it's gaining in popularity, though. I also like Arlo, but does it scream a bit "dog name"? And Dexter after family, but don't want a serial killer reference...?

DD #1 is Mila.

I feel like I've looked at every name in the book and just feel so "meh" about them all. Help! Suggestions that are shorter to go with DD but hopefully not crazy popular?! Thank you in advance!

Hmm. Suggest

Daphne
Lynn
Elise
Pilar
Sybil
Rhea
Ingrid
Astrid

Arlo is fine. You could always use Dexter as middle.

Arlo Dexter
Ezra Dexter
Felix Dexter
Brian Dexter
Philip Dexter
Silas Dexter
Ira Dexter
Alton Dexter
Morgan Dexter
Neil Dexter
Remy Dexter
Pierce Dexter

Thank you for the suggestions! I actually really like the name Silas, but I can't seem to convince my dh! I'm going to try again now

Ezra Dexter is awesome. Suggest: Elias, Peter, Damien, and Ian.

I like Sage.
What about Zoe, Rose, June, Lily, Fern, Tess, Ruth, Ivy, Iris, Dawn, or Erin?

Ok, I am kind of obsessed with the 'Fern' suggestion! Adding it to the list- thank you!

My $.02: Ezra is great. Look no further.

Sage is a little "out there" for me, and I prefer Fern, which is nature-inspired by literally less "spicy."

Your names are great!

The feminine spelling is Frances not Francis which is masculine.

I think of Arlo Guthrie & Thanksgiving - Arlo is wonderful IMO.

Suggesting: Deja, Jade, Rayna, Paloma, Ida, Sidra, Sasha, Phoebe, Agnes, Hugh, Amos, Dean, Quentin, Simon, Samuel, Eben.

But really is Ezra getting popular? I wasn't aware. It's very nice.

Good luck!
