Lucy, Forrest, and ...

[meg33]

Hi berries!!

I am trying to find names (both male and female) that go well with Forrest & Lucy. Both of these names have been my favorites for as long as I can remember, so choosing more names is proving to be a rather difficult task. Forrest is my father's name. Lucy has no family significance, it is just a name that I have always loved.

My naming style is vintage and traditional but I don't want names that are overly popular, like Emily and Aaden. I have composed a list of my top 10 names for both sexes (at the moment) and I would love to hear your opinion on each name. I would also appreciate it if you could tell me your top 3 and bottom 3 names!

Girls --
Agnes or Agatha (Aggie)
Eloise
Hazel
Hattie (is there a name, other than Harriet that Hattie can be a nn for?)
Georgia
Clara
Alice
Emmeline
Arabella (Ari or Bella)
Simone

Boys --
Isaac
Gideon
Silas
Lincoln
Eli (maybe Elias as a full name?)
Joseph (I hate the nn Joe(y) though!)
Asher
Samuel or Samson (Sam)
Eamon (Ay-mon)
Abram

If you have any other suggestions, especially for boys, I'd love to hear them!

Thanks!
Meg

Girls --
Agnes or Agatha (Aggie) ~ Of the two, I prefer Agatha. Honestly, I don't think either are wearable on a little girl, but Aggie is a nice nickname.
Eloise ~ Lovely! Such a sweet, timeless name.
Hazel ~ Not my favorite, but it's okay.
Hattie ~ I love this nickname! I can't think of any other names besides Harriet... maybe Henrietta? Seems a bit of a stretch though.
Georgia ~ Lovely!
Clara ~ Gorgeous!
Alice ~ Love it!
Emmeline ~ Pretty!
Arabella ~ Nice. I prefer the nickname Bella to Ari.
Simone ~ Not my favorite. Doesn't seem to go with your other names, in my opinion.

My favorite names that I think go best with Lucy and Forrest are Eloise, Clara, and Georgia.
My least favorite names are Simone, Agnes, and Hazel.

Boys --
Isaac ~ Nice.
Gideon ~ Seems a bit unwearable... but okay.
Silas ~ Not my style, but okay.
Lincoln ~ Handsome!
Eli ~ Nice. I think it's fine on its own. I prefer Elijah to Elias though.
Joseph ~ Handsome, even without Joe / Joey.
Asher ~ Handsome! Love it! <3
Samuel or Samson (Sam) ~ I like both, but I'd probably prefer Samson because it's a little less common but still handsome and traditional.
Eamon (Ay-mon) ~ Not my favorite... I think people might mispronounce / misspell it.
Abram ~ Nice.

My favorite names that I think go well with Lucy and Forrest are Eli, Asher, and Isaac.
My least favorites are Gideon, Eamon, and Silas.

Thank you so much for all of your help! I really appreciate it. I am taking all of your suggestions into consideration and will update my list soon

I am loving the name Henry with Lucy and Forrest, but I have a cousin named Henry who goes exclusively by Harry. I don't feel like I can do that.

Once again, thank you! You have all been a tremendous help.
