Back for a minute---to post names!

DH and I are still on our trip, but I thought while I had a second this morning I'd post our names and run.

 We've picked out ten boys names and eleven girls. The first and middle combinations are in my siggy; I'll be the first to admit, they're pretty grandiose, but we used MNs to compromise, or use more eccentric choices. Be that as it may, they do kind of "overwhelm" our FN options, so I'm listing them on their own below.

Here are the girls' names. I appreciate any comments you leave, but just voting is fine, too! Our plan is to pick a top 3 or 4 when we find out the sex (which, granted, is a while off), but I love getting comments sooner. ;)

If you happen to check out our FN/MN combinations, keep in mind we have a very short LN---one syllable, three letters.

TIA!

    I voted Sophia. When DH and I weren't sure what sex the baby was, we were going to pick Sophia if it was a girl. I love that name. :)

    AdrianaEloiseDonatellaGeorgiaGuinevereJosephineMichelenaPenelopeScarlettSophiaTallulaLike the boys list, I can't vote. I really like almost all of them! My favorites are Georgia, Guinevere, and Penelope (all 3 are on my list also). I love Sophia, but don't like the popularity. I love Josephine. I like Scarlett, but am bothered by the word "scar" in it. Tallula sounds too sing-songy. The others I don't like are Michelena, Donatella (afraid of nn Donna) and Adriana (I know 2 male Adrians and one male Andre)

    Josephine is my favorite of your first names. Elegant and underused. I like the combo Josephine Francesca.

    There's no way I could vote for just one of those, so I didn't participate in this poll.

    I did, however vote on your BN.com list.

    First names only:

    the only ones that are nms are Donatella and Michelena

    First and middle combos:

    I LOVE Adriana Vitalia and Eloise Victoria!

    The only girl combo I voted "no" on was Georgia Clementine. As I think I've said before, it's just too contradictory to me.

    I was also wondering if you considered Rosario Michelina. The syllable count makes it flow better, IMO. And I LOVE Rosario!

    PS: You may have a spelling error on your girl BN.com list. Or did you spell it as Tallula on purpose? I just wanted to let you know before you get too far in to the poll. People may not vote for it that would have voted for Tallulah.

    Guinevere Francesca R.  I like this combo! Very strong, but feminine. I really like Francesca. Guinevere is nice, would you use a nickname? I've heard Guin, Winnie (my favorite), and Vera. Either way, they're great nicknames.

    Scarlett Anastasia R. This is probably my favorite combo. Two lovely names. Anastasia looks beautiful with this name as well. (And you're right, it steals the show! However, I definitely don't mind that, because middle names are used so infrequently. If anything, it makes more of a statement as a full name). You've given me a new appreciation for both of these names! Scarlett is one of the more popular names on your list, so it's something to think about.

    Tallula Rose R.  I like Tallulah/Tallula, but I have a hard time tacking down the origin. Maybe you like that, but it bugs me. It also walks the line between a little too eccentric and a little too "trendy," as in Hollywood. Love Rose though, lovely combination.

    It was hard to vote. I like most of the names you listed! My favorite is Guinevere Francesca, so that is what I voted for. But I also love Scarlett Anastasia and Tallula/Tallulah Rose. I never liked Tallulah, but the name has grown on me lately and I love the combo with Rose :) 

    The only name or F/M name combo I didn't like was Georgia Clementine. Georgia is OK - but I just didn't like it combined with Clementine.

    You know, we were meaning to use the Irish variant, but a quick search on BTH told me that I had the spelling slightly wrong on that. I'll change it to:

    TALULLA

    Gender: Feminine

    Usage: Irish

    From the Gaelic name Tuilelaith, which was derived from Irish tuile "abundance" and flaith "princess".

    I let my husband choose the spelling on the ones with alternatives (Tallulah/Talulla, Sofia/Sophia, Heloise/Eloise). I just asked him, "H or no H?" without realizing that the double L's actually happen in different places.

    Thanks!
