Baby #2!

amy006 · March 2015

So it's definitely way too early to settle on any names yet (just got the positive test!) but I love talking names and it's time to start the lists again! I literally JUST did this 7 months ago when my son was born :-P We finally decided on Bennett Scott for him. Baby #2 will have the middle name Ray/Rae whether it's a boy or a girl.

I really like names that have good nickname options but it's not absolutely required. Our last name is about as common as they come so it can't be too popular of a first name but also not too out there.

I'd love some suggestions to add to our list! Here are some we still like from the last time around:

Girls: Clara, Rosalie, Harper, Eloise, Lydia, Maeve

Boys: Lincoln, Vincent, Ezra, Calvin, Gibson, Henry

Thanks!!

Girls:

Clara - Pretty, NMS, but it sounds nice with Rae

Rosalie - I just don't like it, especially with another R name as the MN

Harper - a surname with a masculine feel, plus super trendy

Eloise - Too frou frou for me

Lydia - Lovely, nice with Rae

Maeve - I just don't get this name. And Maeve Rae is strange looking and sounding

Boys:

Lincoln - not a fan, sounds pretentious

Vincent - NMS but a good, strong name

Ezra - like it, but not with MN Ray

Calvin - loving this name more and more each day! Calvin Ray sounds great

Gibson - a little to surname-y for me. Prefer Griffin

Henry - like very much, but it is getting trendy

I think Lydia and Calvin are your best picks. Other suggestions:

Lucy Rae

Felicity Rae

Cora Rae

Bonnie Rae

Susannah Rae

Quentin Ray

Griffin Ray

Davis Ray

Aaron Ray

Preston Ray

Of your lists I love either Eloise Rae or Lydia Rae for a girl and Vincent Ray or Calvin Ray for a boy.

Please toss Harper. It's terrible and too trendy. Paired with Rae sounds like you're trying too hard.

Congratulations on the big positive!

I love Maeve paired with Bennett!

For the boys, even though Gibson is a surname, I'm kind of liking it. I like Lincoln and Henry too.

Clara and Vincent!

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! I'm not crazy about Harper, but my husband likes it a lot. He also likes Evelyn which I totally forgot about! haha.

I actually really liked Juniper and Sylvia but he nixed those... he immediately said Jupiter and Saliva...

I love love love Willa! Unfortunately our last name wouldn't work with it.

I'll add Lucas, Elliott, and Maxwell to our boys list, I think they go great with Bennett!
