HelpRe: Tilly and June
in reply to a message by Shiply
Juniper Faith is a nice combo. Juniper is definitely growing on me lately. I like June as a nickname, too, but I don't really like Juni.
Matilda Brooke is cute. I prefer the nickname Matti or Tilda to Tilly, but that's personal preference. Tilly is a bit frilly for my tastes.
Everett Charles sounds very kingly. It sounds a little stuffy to me. If Charles isn't very important to you, I'd consider changing it to something a little "fresher" to balance Everett out.
Bowen Piper is not my favorite. Bowen definitely sounds like a boy's name. For that matter, is this a boy's name? Piper is normally used for a girl, so that's why I assumed it was for a girl, but I suppose Piper could be unisex. That said, I do not like it at all for a girl. Maybe Briona or even Beryl, Briony, or Piper Blair?
For a boy, I guess it's better than Owen (always sounds weak to me), but I prefer other "B" names like Benjamin, Bryant, Brandon, etc. It's not horrid for a boy, though, just different. I'd like Boden/Bodan or Bowden/Bowdan better, just for the sound of it.
good luck!

sorry for the confusion, Bowen Piper is a boys name. Bowen is my husbands great-grandfathers last name, he had all girls and no siblings so the name was lost after him, so we're bringing it back (maybe). Piper is the name of the plane my husband pilots and according to him the "original Piper" the plane was named after was a man.

thanks! i take it back! haha
I think those are great honoring choices! Knowing why you like those names makes it 10 times better! funny how that is. Bowen isn't a terribly weird name because it is similar to Owen, and so many names like Brady and Brody and Bodhi are out there now that he wouldn't be made fun of or anything. And the combo flows well, too.
So I take it back! go for it!
