Baby Names

Just starting naming discussion!

Hi everyone -

FTM, due June 15. My husband and I are just starting the names discussion. He hasn't had many suggestions, and I get the sense he hasn't figured out what he likes yet. Here are my top choices so far. Suggestions for adding/deleting etc. much welcomed! (Middle names probably Rosemary or Daniel after family)

Girls: Vera, Orilla, Isolde, Irene, Nora

Boys: Hubert, Edmund, Simon, Gilbert, Orin

TIA!

Re: Just starting naming discussion!

  • I love Vera and especially Irene.
    I like Isolde, Nora, and Edmund.

  • Love Vera and Edmund!

  • Love all of the girl names except Orilla. I love Simon and Edmund but don't care for the others
  • Thanks, guys! This is some good info. BTW, I'd never heard of Orilla until this summer when a relative sent out some genealogy stuff she'd put together. On my mom's side there were TWO of them in the family, both born in the later 1800s. Thought I'd trot it out to see how it would play. Looks like probably there are better options!
  • Definitely adding Orla, Iris, Eloise, and Sabina. Leona and Phillip are on my longer list. Guess Orrin is the more accepted spelling - added that name to the list after mis-hearing a radio host named Warren's name, so I hadn't seen it written down!

    I really really love Isolde, but I'm worried it's too pretentious or . . . just too much. I kind of hope I have the guts to go for it! Anyone ever actually met or heard of an actual person with that name?

    Thank you, thank you!
  • Nora or Irene and Owen.
  • Nora and Simon are my favourites. Kind of like Edmund too
