I hate the name Narcissa. It sounds kind of like Narcissistic. I want nice names, not something they're going to get beat up on the playground for! We decided to poll our new choices, and his old ones. For our girl... [Poll]
Okay, I'm going to be the oddball here, but I like Narcissa. Yes, I know the word narcissist and the myth of Narcissus. But a narcissus is also a flower that blooms in the early spring, and it's a nice classical name, miles better than a lot of trendy names these days. Also, those would have to be some damn literate kids to pick on someone because her name sounds like narcissist.
I agree with PPs, though - not a fan of Aaren and Jaimie.
Tatiana and Luna are nice names, different but still appealing. Anastasia is nice too.

I love Anastasia. It's the girl name we will use next if we get the chance. I really like Luna and Renee is okay. Your DH's picks are just not good at all.

Narcissa is derived from narcissist. Aaren is a boy's name spelled incorrectly. Jamie is a name that can go on either guys or girls but is more of a nickname and spelled horrendously.
Luna and Renee aren't bad!
All of this, except I also like Renee a fair amount, it's close to Anastasia for me.
As a side note, please not Jaimie (for girl or boy? I couldn't tell... ). The spelling looks off, it's too unisex, and just doesn't go with the style of the other names.
ETA: Was Aaron supposed to be part of the girl poll too? I am so confused! Yes, your Dh's picks are perplexing!
I agree with PPs about the name Luna--it's cute--but, the children's book Stellaluna is very popular, so that may cause the teasing issue that you were worried about with Narcissa.
Re: Aaren, Narcissa, and Jaimie are my DH's picks for our girl triplet... Poll
I'm digging Tatiana, Anastacia and Luna are also nice
Your DH's picks are not good!
I voted Anastasia, but I also like Luna. I could be swayed one way or the other depending on what your boys' names are.
Narcissa is a variation on a very negative word, like you mentioned. The only place I've ever heard it is Draco Malfoy's mom. No bueno.
Aaren is a misspelled boy's name. Erin is pretty.
Jaimie is also misspelled. Jamie is nms but not terrible.
Exactly....

Luna is so great! A much better HP name than Narcissa IMO.

i voted Tatiana!
for what it's worth, my SIL has 6 month old triplets, 2 boys and a girl as well! and their names Rock, Clive, and Glenn (the girl.) . . .
I voted Luna!
I am not a fan of masculine names turned feminine. They only name I like is Jaime.
Anastasia I like. And Titania is pretty unique.
I love Anastasia.
As a side note, please not Jaimie (for girl or boy? I couldn't tell... ). The spelling looks off, it's too unisex, and just doesn't go with the style of the other names.
