Looking for feedback on names
| Sat, 02-11-2006 - 11:03am |
Hey Everyone. I'm new here and was hoping to get feedback on a few names. Tell me what you think...
Much appreciated!
Boys
Jordan Albert Potter
Miles Albert Potter
Dylan Albert Potter
Albert is a family name that we'd like to include. Another option is Elliot.
Girls
Elle Siena Potter
Jolie Sandra Potter
Jolie Sierra Potter
Jolie Siena Potter
Jordyn Siena Potter
Cora ____ Potter (looking for a middle name that starts with "S" for family name Sandra)
Sierra Jolie Potter
Siena Jolie Potter

Jordan Albert Potter- its okay, seems a bit feminine now
Miles Albert Potter- I love Miles. I think its so sweet, it makes me think of a really nice, sweet guy
Dylan Albert Potter- I like Dylan. A bit stuck up to me, goes along the same lines IMO as Blake, Christopher, etc.
My favourite is Miles for sure, but I really love Miles Elliot Potter
DEFINETLY Cora! It is such a beautiful name that is not very common at all. Its lovely. Maybe Cora Sadie Potter? Or Cora Shae Potter? I don't like Sierra at all, but Sienna is nice. I prefer Elle as a nn for something. Jolie is too trendy and reminds me of Angelina Jolie. I don't like Jordyn very much, and dislike this spelling. Definetly Cora.
Boys
Jordan Albert Potter - not a bad name at all, but a lot of people seem to be using Jordan for girls lately, if that will bother you
Miles Albert Potter - this sounds great together! I know a little boy named Myles (spelled this way) and he is the sweetest little guy. Also, while I agree Miles probably looks nicer, if you want to avoid a "word name" you could also consider the above spelling. Just a thought! :)
Dylan Albert Potter - also fine, but this one doesn't flow as nicely in my opinion (I think just because of the -lan Al- sounds running together just a tad)
Albert is a family name that we'd like to include. Another option is Elliot. - Not sure if you mean Elliot is another family mn you'd consider or another fn possibility that just doesn't work with Albert. Thought I'd mention that I do really like Elliot Potter or Firstname Elliot Potter, either way (Miles Elliot Potter is especially handsome). :)
Girls
Elle Siena Potter - really popular right now, but I don't know if I like the flow of Elle Potter
Jolie Sandra Potter
Jolie Sierra Potter - my favorite of the Jolie combos
Jolie Siena Potter
Jordyn Siena Potter - guess you can disregard my comment about Jordan above LOL ... I don't really care for unisex names (especially if the parents are considering the same name for either sex ... that's a little too ambiguous for my taste, KWIM?), so I can't vote for this one ;)
Cora ____ Potter (looking for a middle name that starts with "S" for family name Sandra) - LOVE the name Cora! Guess you'll want to avoid the variation Sandy (I knew a woman who's maiden name was Sandy Plant hehehe). I'll try to come up with some S names below.
Sierra Jolie Potter - this flows nicely
Siena Jolie Potter - Siena's not my favorite ... reminds me of the laxative (which I think is Senna, but too close for me)
Some S names:
Sage (maybe not with Potter?)
Sue
Sadie
Scarlett (probably just me, but Cora Scarlett sounds adorable) ;)
Seren
Sophie
Susan
Samara
Savarah
Selia
Serafina
Serenity
HTH! :)

To me there are two names you have listed that don't sound trendy and over-used. Miles Albert (or Miles Elliot) and Cora are both fantastic choices.
Dylan and Jordan are so oversturated in the under 7 set. Elle is way too close to all the Ellies and Ella out there and Jolie and Sierra are just nms. Good luck, you definelyl have 2 winners there.
I'm going to have to agree with all the votes for Miles and Cora -- such beautiful, classic, sweet, and sophisticated sounding names! Miles Albert and Miles Elliot both sound great. "S" middle names for Cora...
*Cora Sandrine Potter - this honors Sandra very straight-forwardly, *and* flows well!
*Cora Scarlett Potter - I second this suggestion! It's lovely.
Cora Sebastienne Potter - LOL, maybe a bit much for you?
Cora Shannon Potter
*Cora Sidonie Potter
*Cora Simone Potter
Cora Sinead Potter
Cora Siobhan Potter
Cora Solange Potter
Cora Sophie Potter
*Cora Suzanne Potter
Cora Suzette Potter
Cora Sybelle Potter
Cora Sydelle Potter
I've starred the ones I like best. I think you're best off with a MN not ending in "a," and ideally a three-syllable one. If you go two-syllable, I think the ones with the stress on the second syllable sound best (like Suzanne, etc, really most of the ones I mentioned). Just me and my ideas about "flow," but maybe it'll help you!
