Steemit! Help my Name my New Baby!

in #family7 years ago

My wife and I are at an impasse with the name for our next baby and need some help and suggestions.

That's the baby, any name inspiration!

We had previously decided not to find out the sex of the baby, but at the second ultrasound my wife changed her mind and found out so she knows the sex, but I don't. I know a little weird so we need names for both sexes. The baby is due in April so we're starting too feel a bit of a crunch.

We like unisex names and our current Son's name is Kelly and our Daughters name is Andi. She always cross references any name with how they all sound together so looks like we're leaning towards a name the ends with a similar I or E sound.

She likes a lot of traditional English names like Charles, Edward, Victoria and Catherine which I really hate so they've been veto'd. We also don't want one of the new top 50 names and something more unique, without being total weirdo's and inventing our own names.

(From a previous pregnancy)

We have a short list that includes Hailey, Piper, Sam(antha) and Robyn for a girl, and Harrison and Ashton for a boy. But none of these are really awe inspiring or "the one" name.

She's already Veto'd my top choice for a boy which is Ashlee, and pretty much against my other suggestions that are too feminine including; Tracy/Trace. My top Girl name was charlie which has also been veto'd, so although we are leaning towards something unisex she doesn't want anything too mismatched.


(also from another pregnancy)

So this is our dilemma, please provide any suggestions or advice

100% upvote congratulations man! Mattie would be an awesome name ;)

Ansley or Aynsley

Finley, Brantly, Remmy

Congrats on the blessing and I have always liked the name Sydney.
Thanks brother!!

You know what, I'm really liking Sydney too actually. Definitely going on the list to ask her about in the morning!

I was going to suggest Sydney or Sydni too. I also like Bastion, short for Sebastian. Clare is nice too.

Really hoping you guys go with it!! I will be like yea I helped name a member of the Pheli Mint family!! Everyone around me will be like what are you going on about? Then I will show them your mints website and boom extra sales!! Just saying an unofficial advertiser position lol. Congrarts again brother!!

Means a lot to have the designer of the Steem round in my corner!!

Congrats! Rory ends in that long E sound and works for either gender. If you want something crypto and Star wars inspired, how about Poe? It's going to be a real name now, but I can't imagine it would crack the top 50.

Actually Rory may work and I like it. I'm gonna run it by her in the morning!

Let me know how it goes!

I always like haliey. But we names our kids off teins on firefly. River and Simon, well because they are twins

River is in my wives list actually but I'm still not sold on it.

I vote on River too

I like Charlie! Spell Charlie for a boy and Charleigh for a girl! Congrats on your new baby!! (:

I like the Charleigh idea, maybe she'll reconsider if we feminize it a bit.

Congrats on the next baby on the way! How about Bessie, Minnie, Grace, Shirley,Jack(ie), Marjorie, or Nancy? I'm not great with unisex names and I'm, aware that most of these are more on the female side as well.

I'm assuming that you don't want to know the sex of the baby until it comes out then?

She really wants Grace or Gracie but I really don't like it all unfortunately.

Well, not to toot my own horn, but, how 'bout naming the baby, maybe Fat-Elvis or something?

April, Raphael, donatello, Michelangelo Leonardo, or shredder.

In all serious kaci/Casey is a good unisex name and fits with the above theme.

You're welcome.
