Long list-- opinions?

pnf112208 · January 2012

My DH is horrible about naming. (He vetoes, but has no suggestions.) So please help me with my lists. We are Team Green, and need names for either sex. For the record, my DD is Corinne, and her middle name is Lorraine after my deceased MIL. My style is more old-fashioned, but I'm trying to avoid the extra-popular old-fashioned names.

Girls: (MN Christina after my mother)

Molly

Mallory

Margaret

Vivian

Gail

Penelope

Celeste

Boys: (MN Aaron after DH)

Wesley

Isaac

Seth

Rory

Jesse

Any other suggestions?

Celeste! One of my best friends is named Celeste. I think its classic and waaaaay underused. I also like the nns Cece or Cellie.

I like Mallory and Wesley. The others kinda bore me TBH.

My DH was the same way, but don't worry.. you'll get there. FWIW, I think Corinne Lorraine is a beautiful name.

My top choices from your lists would be Vivian and Isaac.

Molly and Mallory are my favorites. Have you thought about Cecily?

I LOVE all of your boy names. Seriously, this might as well be my list. Wesley and Jesse are my favorites.

my dh was the same way. he literally hated all first and middle names except audrey and sophia. i knew i wanted an audrey but i struggled with middle names and he shot them all down except sophia, and he was like "eh... its ok" over that one. but he never had any suggestions either so it frustrated me like crazy. but will find something. and you have time. my name is jordan and that was my mom's boy choice, but when she saw me she decided to go with it anyway so you never know.

i love vivien and celeste. the potential nicknames are too cute. the other names i dont think have potential to grow with her much. a lot of those names sound little girly.

for boys i think wesley is the best on your list with the middle name, but isaac is my fave. i just dont think it works with aaron. i cant stad the name rory for a boy or girl for some reason. plus people who have trouble pronouning r's (like a lot of lil kids do) would end up saying it like wuhwee or warwee or some variation of that.
