Sibling for Genevieve

rencontrezmoi · June 2016

I'm currently 16 weeks pregnant with #2. Names are such a challenge for us (particularly girls names). DD didn't have a name until after she was born because it took us that long to agree on anything. DD is Genevieve Blair, and she usually goes by Eve or Evie. Last name rhymes with Rainy.

For boys, so far, we really like:

Abram (nn Abe)
Owen (a little popular for my taste, but I still like it a lot)

For girls, we are so lost. These are some that we have thrown around, but we're just not sure of:

Isabel (nn Izzy- again, a little popular for me)
Natalie (doesn't sound great with our last name)
Bianca

ETA: DH has already vetoed Audrina, Audrey, Gwendolyn, Felicity, Karina, Adrienne, and Elizabeth.

Any opinions or suggestions? I'm open to anything.

I love Abram and Bianca.

Perhaps Natalia would work better with your last name?

My first thought was Rosemary or Rosalie. I like the way pair with Genevieve, and Rose or Rosie are sweet nns.

I LOVE your boy names! Abe and Owen are my two favorites right now!

For your girl names, I love Bianca. I think Bee would be such an adorable nn.

Oooh, thanks for the suggestions! Natalia works much better with our last name, and DH actually likes it. He suggested the nn Lia, which I think is super cute. We've added it to the list. Sadly, he's now vetoing Bianca, so that one is coming off. I'm still trying to sell him on it, though.

I like Rosalie, but I worry a little about the Twilight connection. And Jacqueline is my mom's name (who I don't get along with very well), so I couldn't use it even though I love it.

For a boy, we're still really torn between Abram and Owen, but I think leaning slightly toward Abram (that was our top pick had DD been a boy).
