Re: Baby name?
in reply to a message by Emily
I guess everyone else thinks the names don't go together. I think they are fine. It would be a bit much if it was Greyson and Mason or Gary and Greyson. I think if you had an Alexander and Daisy that would seem a mismatch or a Franklin and a Daffodil. There are twins in my family that were Laverne Loise and Lavone Louis. I think there can be too matchy matchy so I guess I'm missing why everyone think they don't go well together.
I really like the name Evelyn. Thought it was too popular so I didn't go with it. All the other similar names I don't like nearly as much Elowen Ellory. I did find an Elwyn that I really liked but it means Elf friend and I couldn't do that as my other kids have really strong name meanings.
I really like Emmaline but I won't use it because we have done Biblical names for first names and family names for middle names. If you want to stick yourself in a box for naming future children than try to find names that go together but there is a reason why all the 19 kids and counting names all started with J. It was so nobody would be "left out". What does your partner prefer?
