Short list after vetoed by DH

rockchalkbride · May 2011

Ok so I just went through my name list with DH and he vetoed about 90% of them! Thought I would list the ones left, and then those vetoed, just to give others ideas, as I always like looking at names people come up with.

Here is what we have left:

Girls: Adelaide (Addie), Dinah, Elsie, Greta, Imogene (Emmie), Jade, June, Delilah (Lilah) and Violet. Middle name will most likely be Elizabeth

Boys: All that we have left are Hank or Isaiah. No ideas on MNs, maybe Michael after my dad and brother?

DS's name is Jonah, any that stick out to go well with this?

Here is the list we vetoed:

Girls: Beatrice, Carmen, Charlotte, Claire, Claribel, Camille, Corrine, Della, Eden, Gertrude (Trudy), Hadley, Hallie, Harriett, Hattie, Jane, Jolee, Leila, Lillian (Lily), Lucille (Lucy), Mabel, Margo, Melody, Olive, Penelope (Penny or Nellie), Polly, Sidney, Tillie

Boys: Archer, Brandt, Cole, Dawson, Fisher, Hanson, Henrik, Hudson, Ira, Jude, Keaton, Kellen, Kian, Kiefer, Oakes, Otis, Price, Rhoades, Roderick, Roscoe

Oh, it's too bad you didn't marry my DH.

Hubby has been trying me to go for "Otis" since we started dating!!!

I like Isaiah with Jonah

erinms · May 2011

LOVE Hank, also really like Isaiah

LOVE June and Violet

My nephews are Jonah and Isaiah so I'm partial to that!

Isaiah Michael

Love Greta and June from your girl list. Greta June is actually cute together.

I like Elsa with nn Elsie. Elsie is too cutesy for a full name, IMO.

Good luck

I vote Imogene and Hank! I love Imogene but DH vetoed it.

Isaiah is a really nice name and I think it goes great with your DS's name. I like Adelaide and Violet.

kellybellybean:
Love Imogen (that spelling though, which might have a different pronunciation than the spelling you mentioned!). I also love Violet, and think Isaiah is nice too. In fact, I think most of your names are quite nice!

Well thank you

So tell me how is Imogen pronounced? Is it EM-a-JEN? I see Imogene as EM-a-JEAN. I've seen it both ways in name books.

You and I seem to have very similar taste. I thought I was like, the only person in the world who likes the name Dinah. I'm psyched to see it on someone else's list. I also love June as a first name. Good list!

I love Delilah and Violet from the girl list! Obviously I'm biased toward Violet (see ticker in signature), but I did push Delilah with DH. He loves it, but both of our families are very religious and would have strongly disliked our use of the name.

Isn't Hank a nn? Either for Henry or Harold, I can't remember which. It doesn't feel like a good stand-alone name.

I think Isaiah goes well with Jonah. Of the girls' names, I like most of them, but would not use Jade or June with Jonah.

I really like Jade for a girl name

Then you could call her "Jayydee"

KateCollins11 · May 2011

Violet Elizabeth and Isaiah Michael.

I love your whole list. I'm sorry... I'm no help!

You're not! I love Dinah, especially as a nn for Diana (which is how it is on my long list).

OP, I vote for Dinah or June for the girls and Isaiah for the boy.

SnoopyLuv · May 2011

I like June or Violet.

Love Hank but as a nn for Henry. I think it also goes with DS's name. I don't like Isaiah at all and have been seeing lots of yuneek spellings for it lately.
