first berry post! boy and girl name suggestions

[loulouberry]

So thankful I found this site! You all are amazing! My husband and I are currently TTC. (I'm not yet savy with all the acronyms that you all use, but I do know what TTC means!) I've started coming up with a few combinations for boy and girl names. Let me know your thoughts or suggestions:

Boys:
Jonah Finn
Finn Isaac
Knox

We like boy names that sound like boy names, and that age well. My husband isn't crazy about Finn, but may like it for a middle name. I haven't personally ever met a Finn, but am surprised to find out on here, how popular it is.

My husband loves ships, nautical anything (I love me some nautical as well), Moby Dick, pirates...so if you have any wearable boy names that go along with that, that would be awesome!

Girls:
Olive Rose (I love the nickname Liv and Ollie)
Louelle

Any other name suggestions? I'm still trying to figure out our naming style...

Thanks a ton!

For boys, I would say your style is popular classics, biblical, and (with Knox) trendy. Other boy names I would suggest:

Ethan
James
Andrew
Jacob
Elijah
Adam
Asher
Peter
Simon
Paul
Reuben
Joshua
Timothy
Jonathan
Caleb
Seth

For girls, I would say you like short, sweet, vintage names. Others I would put in this category are:

Maeve
Maude
Sybil
Beryl
Pearl
Ruby
Opal
Alice
Millie
Jane
Louise
Ruth
Martha
Tilde
Ethel
Edith
Maisie
Mae
Rue

Nautical names I would suggest:

Noah
River
Ford
Banks
Brooks
Pollock
Crew

How about Luella instead of Luelle?
Finn is great, but I prefer Jonas to Jonah.

Other boy names:
Hudson
Edmund ( the Edmund Fitzgerald)
Louis
Jack
Girls:
Juniper
Acacia
Acadia
Lily
Iris
Wren
Willow

These are great! Both of you pinned some of my other names that have been on my mental list. I'm liking Crew and Iris from your suggestions. We aren't aiming for biblical names, however Jonah just came on our radar with kind of the nautical feel of it. I can't help but think of the Jonas brothers for Jonas. Thanks for your input!

I love Jonah Finn, and Finn Isaac... not so crazy about Knox, personally.

But I absolutely adore Olive Rose AND Louelle. So cute!

For boys, I like the suggestion of Hudson!
Some others, kind of nautical-y
Drake
Caspian
Lochlan
Lee

I like Jonah as well from your list. Finn is one of my favorites, but it keeps popping up in the birth announcements in my town. The names Flynn and Josiah remind me of Finn and Jonah. Just some more ideas for you

here are some of the names I like...
Lucille (nn LuLu)
Violet
Sylvie
Iris
Juniper

Solomon
Sebastian
Chester (my new crush courtesy of someone on here)
Arlo
Milo
Henry
Edward

Good luck picking!!

Phineas is a very nice name with the nickname Finn

I thought I'd just mention some of my favourite girl names, since you just had two names on your list: Fiona, Adele, Rose, Lydia, Eliza, Viola, Adelaide, Isobel, Vera, Verity, Annabel, Stella, Elodie, Mary, Lucy, Molly. Anyone strike your fancy?

[samantha-bianca]

There's a character from a show called Pretty Little Liars that always pops to mind when I think of "nautical", she dresses preppy - often including nautical themes - and her name is Spencer.

Some nautical names:
Cliona/Cleona (f) - In Irish legend this was the name of a beautiful goddess. She fell in love with a mortal named Ciabhan and left the Land of Promise with him, but when she arrived on the other shore she was swept to sea by a great wave.

Caspian (m) - as in the Caspian Sea.

Ione (f) - A sea nymph from Greek Mythology

Dylan (m) - means "tide" or "flow".

Hadrian (m or f) - derivative of a place in Italy by the Adriatic Sea.

Nereida (f) - Pronounced "Nuh-RAY-duh", Spanish name from the Greek for "sea nymph, sprite".

Windsor (m) - English place name meaning "riverbank with a windlass".

Hope you like them...was fun looking them up

I agree with you veggiemama, Knox isn't really our style. My husband just randomly placed a check by that one, so I kept it on our list, but it doesn't feel right for us.

Lochlan, Sebastian and Iris have made it to my list. I like Elodie, but can't help but thinking people may mistaken it for Melody, which isn't for me at all. Lucy has always been such a sweet name to me.

Thanks everyone for your input!! I really appreciate it!
