Vote on the name of my future child...thumbs up, thumbs down. Easy peasy. Some of the names include names of family members and/or loved ones. Some names I have heard and love the sound of the name. I would call any child of mine by one of these names...what do you think?

Here are my thoughts-


Annika Sara- I think this is a bit "a" heavy. Annika starts and ends in an "a", Sara ends in an "a" and your last name begins in an "a". I do like Annika, but if you go with it I would use a mn that doesn't start or end in a mn. Annika Daisy? Annika Penelope?


Bryony Sara- I like the flow of this. I do think you might have pronunciation issues with Bryony. I am never quite sure how to pronounce it.


Claudia Sam- LOVE Claudia. A name ending in "a" might run into a last name beginning with "a", but I do really like Claudia. Sam seems incomplete to me though. Claudia Daisy? Claudia Penelope? (I love both of those as middle names). In the end, though, I would prefer

Thank you very much for your input! Above and beyond my "thumbs up, thumbs down" system. I appreciate your advice and will take it to heart as I continue the naming journey. Take care!

Wow - you have a wide range of styles on that list -- nice to see some uncommon choices.

My favorites of your first names:


Claudia
Eliza (don't love it with Matilda, though -- too sing-songy)
Natalie
Briony I'd like spelled with an "i" in place of the first "y"

Henry
Hugh
Xander (I'd love Xavier as an option for you as well)


Ezra is all boy - I'd hate to see that on a girl.
Bailey has gone to the girls (and many dogs), so might not work on a boy.
Elijah I like

AJ, enjoying life with C.
