help with names
| Fri, 10-20-2006 - 5:55pm |
We are expecting our third child soon. We like older, traditional names and already have 2 girls: Tess and Lucy. I'm looking for opinions on the names we're leaning toward.
Boy - Finley Michael
Girl - Belle Marie OR Ruby Jean
What are your thoughts? Regarding the girls' names, I like both for a little girl, but have concerns about the names for an adult woman. Any feedback is appreciated.

Here are some ideas with Tess & Ruby:

Isaac
Adam
Elliot
Griffin- could also use nn Finn for this
Henry
Jonah
Gregory/Rory/Gregor
Timothy
Benjamin/Benjie
Truman
Dexter/Dex - kinda cute?
Felix
Dashiell/Dash
Charles/Charlie/Chaz
Tucker
Miles
Alastair
Julian
Simon
Tobias/Toby
Calder/Calman/Cal
Everett/Rhett
Quentin
Oscar
I really like Jonah and Julian with Tess & Lucy.

Hi there, & congrats on #3! Tess & Lucy are such great names. Here are my thoughts on your choices:
Boy - Finley Michael-I honestly love Finley, but do prefer Finlay. However, it's starting to get a bit dangerous to use on boys on account of people calling girls this. It's clearly a boy name, but some people can't figure out the difference. What about just Finn Michael? I love Finn w/Tess & Lucy.
Girl - Belle Marie OR Ruby Jean-I adore Belle. That's very sweet w/Tess & Lucy. Ruby is okay, but it's not my personal favourite. I really don't see too much of a problem w/either of these as adults.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for all the suggestions. You should become a baby name expert :)

Thanks for your suggestions. Finley will most likely go by Finn... we'll just see what happens.

Thanks for your feedback. Overwhelmingly, we've received pro Ruby responses, so I think we'll go with Ruby Jean. I appreciate your help.
