Orion and a few others

pnkybrwstr

Not pg yet, but wanted to throw DH and my long time favorite boy name out there to get your thoughts.  We seem to have a theme of names with a literal meaning.

Fav boy name:  Orion (like the constellation, pronounced O-ry-an or Or-ee-an?)

Other names we like:  

Boy:  Lincoln (name of my hometown, and DH loves Zelda)

Girl:  Ruby, Grace, Penelope (nn Penny)

 Many Thanks for your imput!

Orion is my son's name. Pronounced like the constellation. But we get Or-ee-on all the time. I love this name!

Link is awesome but I think of Zelda, and I couldn't see an adult with just that name. Lincoln is cool, but kind of seems like its getting popular.

I love Penelope!! That's a cute name.

I love your girl names, and I like Lincoln, but I strongly dislike Orion.

Love your girls names! Orion and Lincoln are nms, but aren't bad.

I have an Uncle Or-ee-an and I love the name Lincoln.

I would pronounce Orion as o-ryan.  I like it.  I also like Lincoln.

Of your girl names, I like them all.  I like seeing a Penelope with nn Penny...most people don't seem to like Penny, but I do (it's my dog's name).

I LOVE Orion. It's on my shortlist. Definitely would pronounce it like the constellation.

Also really like Penelope and Ruby, and Lincoln seems to have good meaning for you.

Orion is NMS but I like it on others' kids. I would pronounce it o-RIE-?n and don't really care for the o-REE-?n pronunciation.

Lincoln/Link - also NMS but an okay name.

LOVE Ruby and Penelope/Penny - both are great names

Grace is a lovely name but so overused as a middle name. It's refreshing to see it as an option for the first name spot.

I love all of your name choices, except I've never liked Grace much at all. 

 

Orion is great and I'd definitely pronounce it like the constellation.

I like Orion.  Or- EYE-on is how I have heard it pronounced.

 For your girl names, I like Ruby quite a bit!

I love Orion--I have a cousin named that, and his nickname is Rye. Your other choices are all lovely, especially Penelope/Penny.

I like all your choices!  I know an O'Ryan, pronounced like Orion.

I like all of them except Zelda. I'd choose Orion and Penelope
