HelpRe: AnnaMarie & Edith Therese
in reply to a message by Ninor
Here's your response to the sign ups:
1. Is popularity a big issue for you? Yes, I don't want my child to be one of 6 kids in their class at school with the same name!
2. How would you describe your naming style? I like classic, but still unique names. I really dislike unisex names, nickanmes used as full names, and kre8tve spellings
3. Is the meaning of a name important to you? Not really
4. Please list 3 names of each gender that you love: BOYS: Jamison, Austin, Emmett. GIRLS: Aveline, Lily, Eleanor
Here's mine:
1. Is popularity a big issue for you? No, but I'd prefer something that is not very popular.
2. How would you describe your naming style? I like Biblical names, as well as names that sound fairly British, maybe with a hint of French, too. Oh, and Shakespearean names are on my list, as are Saint names.
3. Is the meaning of a name important to you? They can be. If I find a name that has a meaning that I like, I'll probably start liking the name, too.
4. Please list 3 names of each gender that you love:
Girls
Faustina
Philomena
Joelle
Boys
Evander
Benjamin
Lysander
I do like the names Jamison, Austin, Aveline, Lily, and Eleanor. Are there any on my list that you like?
Here's my personal name list: http://www.behindthename.com/pnl/108352
Tell me if you like any.

Hmm I think combining our two likes we should be able to come up with some brilliant combos...
Out of the 6 faves you gave, I love Joelle, Evander & Lysander.
Other names from your PNL that I like are:
BOYS:
Aidan
Aldric
Andrew (usable, but possibly too commonly used for my liking...)
Benjamin (same as Andrew)
Blaise
Darien (What about Darian, or even better Darius?)
Eleazar
Elijah
Felix
Jonathon (prefer the spelling Jonathan though)
Leopold
Luke (but only as a nn for a longer version)
Mateo (or Matteo)
Matthias
Orion
Philippe
Teddy (but only as a nn for a longer version)
Toby (but only as a nn for a longer version)
Zeph (but only as a nn for a longer version)
GIRLS:
Adela
Adriana
Ariadne
Diane
Diana
Emily (prefer a variant however as Emily is too popular for my liking)
Gaia
Gwendolyn
Helena
Isabella (guilty pleasure name, one of the few exceptions to my rule about disliking popular names - it's just so beautiful!)
Joelle (also love Noelle)
Kassiopeia (prefer Cassiopeia though)
Lauren
Lili (prefer Lily)
Margaret (love some of the nn's for this name)
Nova
Phoebe
Rosie (love as a nn for a longer version)
Selena
Sofie (also like Sophie)
I'm updating my PNL at the moment, but here it is as it stands presently: http://www.behindthename.com/pnl/57337 let me know what you like.

Great, well that gives us a good starting point anyway!
So for Round 1 we have to;
- Agree on a surname (and maiden name, if you want)
- Name your DH and DW (however, don't decide who is what. You can give them ages if you want)
- Start talking a bit about names. Create a list if you want too.
- Write "Finished" in the subject line when the two of you consider yourselfs finished
So, surname... Did you want to choose a name from our lists that works as a surname as well? or do you have a 'favorite' surname? Suggestions:
Daniels
Jacobs
Andrew
Orion
Philippe

That's actually a good idea. Maybe we could have a maiden name for the DW like that, and then choose a different one for the DH. That way the first son or something we can have them honor the DW.
Maybe ____ ____ Jacobson?
And for the husband, here's some I like:
Kennet
Rosenfeld
Hanley
Bernard/Barnard
Bellamy
Fairbairn
Rothwell
Or Bellamy could be the maiden name of the DW, and Bellamy could be a name used for a DD. Bellamy would be a cute name.

I like your thinking about using one of names as the maiden name, and then honoring that in a sons name... brilliant!
Jacobson works, and then having Jacob as the first sons mn?
Out of your suggestions I like Rothwell best. So is this them?
DH: ______ ______ Rothwell (?)
DW: ______ ______ Rothwell [nee Jacobson] (?)
I'm thinking early-mid 20's for their ages? Maybe 23-26?
For the names, did you want to each pick one, or should we pick out top 5 male & female out of each others lists, and then we'd have 10 names for each gender to toss around and make combos out of?

How about these ages?
DH: ______ ______ Rothwell (25)
DW: ______ ______ Rothwell [nee Jacobson] (23)
Do you want to choose the FN of one, and I the FN of the other, and then the same for MNs?

perfect - BUT, just to make it interesting, what if we have to pick from each others lists not our own????
Do you want to do the fn for DH or DW?

That works for me. I'll choose the FN for the DH.
How about we go with Dominic for the FN?

WDYT of Dominic Evander Rothwell?
How about Gwendolyn for the wife? nn Gwen?
How about Gwendolyn for the wife? nn Gwen?

Works for me. Maybe his nn could be Dom or Nick. Which do you like better? Or he wouldn't even have to have a nn.
What do you think of Gwendolyn Lucretia [Jacobson] Rothwell?

LOVE Gwendolyn Lucretia! honestly i'm just excited to use Lucretia :)
I'd go for Dom as a nn for Dominic.
So this is us then:
DH: Dominic Evander Rothwell "Dom" (25)
DW: Gwendolyn Lucretia Rothwell [nee Jacobson] "Gwen" (23)
I'd go for Dom as a nn for Dominic.
So this is us then:
DH: Dominic Evander Rothwell "Dom" (25)
