Ideas pls~ MN for Reese
| Mon, 01-22-2007 - 3:19pm |
Hello everyone! I am currently 9 weeks, queasy... and excited. I obviously have a ways to go but in the midst of tossing and turning all night, my head is spinning with names. Our last name is Simmons. We *might* have agreed on the name Cash Warren if its a boy. Warren is my mother' maiden name and my husband's father's MN.
As for a girl, I love the name Reese (and we're tossing several others around) but I am having a hard time coming up with MNs that flow.
Any suggestions? Not necessary to be overly conservative with comments or names... I'm pretty open minded.
TIA!

I like Cash Warren.
I think Reese would sound great with an older, feminine middle name. This combination would give your daughter the best of both worlds: a funky, modern first name and a more traditional middle name to fall back on if she so chooses. How about:
Reese Catherine Simmons
Reese Caroline Simmons
Reese Elizabeth Simmons
Reese Margaret Simmons
Reese Helena Simmons
Reese Isabel Simmons
PS: Cash Warren Simmons sounds fantastic. Very strong!
I think that Cash Warren sounds great together Good choice!
I like Reese for a girl also
What about:
Reese Brooklyn
Reese Nicole
Reese Gabrielle
Reese Isabella
Reese Autumn
Reese Leeann
Reese Savannah
Reese Ainsley
Reese Madison
Reese Kylie
Reese Katelyn
Reese Camielle
Reese Catherine
Reese Elizabeth
Reese Lindsay
Reese Ava
Reese Brinley
I like both Cash and Reese, but you have to be careful when you have a last name starting with an S... names that end in "s" don't have the greatest flow. Reese Simmons kind of runs together with the s' and becomes a hissy one word. Cash Simmons is better.
How about:
Arlen Simmons
Annika Simons
Talia Simmons
Delia Simmons
Hazel Simmons
Greer/Grier Simmons
Hadley Simmons
Presley Simmons
Alaina Simmons - nn Lainey?
Thatcher Simmons
Fletcher Simmons
Weston Simmons
Holden Simmons
Rhys Simmons- not the best flow, but if you consider it for a girl you may also like on a boy
Everett Simmons- nn Rhett?
Asher Simmons
Dane Simmons
Beckett Simmons
Calder Simmons - nn Cal?
Arden Simmons
As for Reese, I would definitely go with a longer mn to balance it out:
Reese Angelina Simmons
Reese Mattea Simmons
Reese Lilianna Simmons
Reese Aurora Simmons
Reese Lorelei Simmons
Reese Mariana Simmons
Reese Josephine Simmons
Reese Abigail Simmons
Reese Nicola Simmons
HTH,

Nikki, we have both pulled names from your list that we like better than any others we've come up with so far. I like Presley a lot, and Calder for a boy. And I love the way you spelled Rhys for a boy but I'm afraid it would be constantly mis-pronounced. WDYT? Lorelie is a great MN, I haven't heard that before! You're right about the s's, we've talked about that too. I just love that name. :( We'll see...
Thanks so much for your help!!
Tarah
Oh, your boy name pick is wonderful!!! As for a mn for Reese, how about...
Reese Skyla
Reese Camille
Reese Elizabeth
Reese Katherine
Thank you! I have had several posts with Reese Elizabeth and Reese Catherine. I agree that it should be 2 or 3 syllables and maybe an older name, strong and feminine. I really appreciate your opinions and suggestions.
And thanks for the feedback on our boy's name, I'm still hoping it grows on Daddy...he's not convinced. Says it sounds arrogant. Well, that's how I'll translate what he thinks. So I might need some help with boys names later on. Kinda hope so. :)
I'm so glad you found some you like! How about posting a poll about Rhys and seeing how many ppl know the correct pronunciation. I think it's getting more common, so it wouldn't be too difficult.
