HelpRe: Waverly
in reply to a message by MoCro
It sticks out like a sore thumb in the sibset but not all sibsets are perfect and every child is an indivudual so you should pick the name you love based on your feelings towards it not on what your previous children are called. The only thing I have against is it that to me it sounds not made up, but too surname-y. Are you thinking boy or girl because personally it could work for either. Go for it :)

I don't think it sticks out in your sibset. I think it fits right in with the vowel sounds (maybe too well?).

Yeah, I was also feeling like it stuck out quite a bit with the other two kiddos' names.
I think I would only ever use it for a girl.

I'm a big believer in individualism. Sure some people won't like it because it doesn't "conform", but what does it matter as long as you and your partner love it?
It sounds very pretty on a girl by the way, and I think it would age well.

The conformity argument is silly. It conforms to lots of trends, if not the BTN ones. "Waverly" is not a statement about individualism.
Personally I find myself caring less and less what people name their kids, and I sorta like the sound of Waverly. But it's the name of an extremely poor town close to wear I grew up, so it just screams and cries and shouts things about rednecks.

I don't find it silly at all; people are not naming their children names that they love because they don't "fit" with their siblings - now that is what I find silly. But it's just my opinion, and I don't have the association of that town because I've never heard of a place named Waverly.

That has nothing to do with individualism, though.
