HelpRe: Name of the Day
in reply to a message by Evey
This is purely fantasy on my part, as we (almost) have a combo picked out for our little Jelly Bean, and we probably won't be having any more children after her. Also, this is what I would name them, without any input from anyone else. ;o)
Boy: Malcolm Eben Cornelius (Mac), or possibly Cornelius Malcolm Eben (Neil)
Girl: Cordelia Margaret Genevieve (Delia or Delia-Mae), or possibly Margaret Cordelia Genevieve (Megan or Maret)
Boy: Malcolm Eben Cornelius (Mac), or possibly Cornelius Malcolm Eben (Neil)
Girl: Cordelia Margaret Genevieve (Delia or Delia-Mae), or possibly Margaret Cordelia Genevieve (Megan or Maret)

So what's this "almost-picked out" combo, hmm?
Just wondering.
And your boy combo is so handsome sounding. What about Malcolm Cornelius Eben (Mac)? I think it flows better than the two you have. But I love the names themselves.
The girl's combo is stunning (though I'm not surprised, as I've always loved your combos.) Both versions are beautiful. I love Delia as a NN. For the Margaret one, what about switching Cordelia and Genevieve? It seems to improve the flow.

I like Malcolm Cornelius Eben, too. I think you just can't go wrong with those 3 names in any order!
Ooh, Margaret Genevieve Cordelia is nice, also. Only problem is, I have a hard time prn -t Ge-, so it comes out sounding like Margareh Genevieve Cordelia. Yeah, ok, I'm super-picky!
As for the "almost picked out" combo...I think the top 2 mn contenders are Elyse (I like it a lot, but not so much with Evangelynn) and Terese (DH seems to like it, but not as much as he likes Elyse). Thus, if we add Belrose as a 2nd mn, our choices come down to Evangelynn Elyse Belrose B. and Evangelynn Terese Belrose B. Of those, I'm not really fond of the E.E.B.B. initials (or E.B.E.B. for that matter). Plus, when it comes to nns (and I'm big on nns), there isn't a whole lot one can do with Elyse (Elly, Liese), but with Terese, at least there's Tess, Teri, Tera, & Reese (not that I'd actually use Reese as a nn, but it's an option).
Meh, it'll all come out in the wash. :o)

Y'know, I never used to like Margaret, either, but I'd definitely grown on me. ;o)
I wish I could convince him to use Cordelia, too! (I'd be really surprised if he went for Genevieve, since there's already a soft g in Evangelynn and he doesn't like repeated sounds like I do). I did give him Terese / Therese to chew on last night, and I didn't get an immediate "No." Just thoughtful silence. :o) I told him, "Mull over that one for a few days & then get back to me." He seems favorable, though, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. :o)

Not sure on Eben, but otherwise love all of these combos.
It doesn't hurt that the girl's combo has three of my favorite names it it.
