HelpRe: Compromise Game
in reply to a message by Emaleigh
Okay… Phew that’s a lot of names! So we have:
BOYS:
Patrick
Anthony
Mathias
Benjamin “Ben”
Diarmad
Rafael
Evander
Peregrine “Pippin”
Jonas
Edmund
Eoin
Hugo
Thomas - middle name (I meant to write Tam, but I’m fine making it a middle name.)
August - middle name
GIRLS:
Tempest
Catriona
Niamh
Kathleen
Ruth - It’s cool you want to honor your great-grandmother.
Sinéad
Silvie
Maeve - I pronounce it mayv
Fiona
Lucy
Matilda “Tilda”
Minerva
Lyra - I pronounce it lie-rah but I’m open to both pronunciations
Diana
Guinevere “Gwen”
Thea
Viola
Bethan
Lynn - middle name first girl
Amelia - middle name
Helena - middle name
Juniper - middle name
Claire - middle name
For your on-the-fences:
BOYS:
Isaac - I’m definitely fine not using it as it’s not one of my top names.
Gareth - I kind of see what you mean about the sound. I’m fine not using it.
GIRLS:
Rosemary - If you’d like to suggest other names you like that begin with Rose I tend to like those as well. Otherwise I’m not super attached to Rosemary so we don’t have to use it.
Cecily - I’m fine not using it.
Sibyl - I’m fine not using it; it’s not one of my top names.
From your new list I like:
BOYS:
Caspian - I love this one!
Rory - As a boy’s name I don’t think it needs to be a nickname.
GIRLS:
Nora - I prefer the spelling without an h.
River - I prefer it as a middle name but I’d be open to using it as a first name
Megan/Meghan/Maegan - I’d rather have it as a middle name, I don’t care about the spelling
Luna - It’s not my favorite but I do like it
Rory - As a girls name I think it needs a full name, maybe Aurora or Roberta?
Our new lists then become:
BOYS:
Patrick
Anthony
Mathias
Benjamin “Ben”
Diarmad
Rafael
Evander
Peregrine “Pippin”
Jonas
Edmund
Eoin
Caspian
Rory
Hugo
Thomas - middle name
August - middle name
GIRLS:
Tempest
Catriona
Niamh
Kathleen
Ruth
Sinéad
Silvie
Maeve
Fiona
Lucy
Matilda “Tilda”
Minerva
Lyra
Diana
Guinevere “Gwen”
“Rory” - full name undecided
Luna
Thea
Nora
Viola
Bethan
Lynn - middle name first girl
Amelia - middle name
Helena - middle name
Juniper - middle name
Claire - middle name
River - middle name?
Megan/Meghan/Maegan - middle name?
For now I think I’ll rank the first names from most liked (1) to least liked.

I’ve left Ruth off the girls’ list because honoring names are a different category in my opinion.
So we definitely have enough names to work with for now. I don’t know what exactly to do from here. If you also want to rank them we could find names that we agree on the most or something like that… Do you have any ideas?
