Name List
| Fri, 01-05-2007 - 1:34am |
Here are some girls and boys name that I really like. I would like to know what you think of the names and offer any suggestions on middle names. Also, if you want to suggest name that you think I would like that's fine too.. Could any of these names be used as siblings. I also have one more question I love the name Clive but it sounds horrible with the last name if anyone could suggest names with the same feel without the "ive" sound at the end that would be great.

What a great list!
Hi - I like all your names, we seem to have the same taste.
What about the name Clyde? It's my husband's late grandfather's name and we are thinking about bringing it back.
Girls:
Lilla -- pretty, but seems nicknamey. I'd use it as a nn for Lilias, Lillian, etc.
Adeline -- beautiful. ;) I like the nn Ada.
Astrid -- very nice
Belle -- nmsaa. Too frilly and presumes too much. Also a very over-done nn for all the other -bel(le) names currently popular.
Lucia -- nice, but it immediately made me think of Lucilla, nn Lilla
Sylvia/Sylvie -- nice, and fits the old-fashioned trend without being trendy.
Susannah -- a fine name, but I never got into it.
Camilla -- I prefer Camille, but this is good too. You could use Calla, Milla or even Lilla as a nn. ;)
Piper -- not my style (always reminds me of a pipe cleaner or a plumber)
Reese -- too masculine for me, but fine as a nn (I know a Therese, nn Reese)
Clair -- love it
Fiona -- love it
Boys:
Jonas/Jonah -- much prefer Jonas (a friend considered Jonah and constantly got the "whale vomit" comments ... Jonas avoids that )
Porter -- fine for someone else, but the "porker" and "port-o-potty" teasing potential steers me away from it.
Solomon -- that's kind of cool. I knew a Solomon (although it was his ln ... apparently such a good name he preferred it to his fn LOL)
Tobias -- that's really nice. You may also like Thaddeus
Ronan -- ooh, Ronan is wonderful. My favorite so far.
Grayson -- nms. Too trendy, although I do like simply Gray (possibly as a nn for Graham)
August -- that's good
Emory -- love it. Emmett is also nice.
Gunnar -- too violent
Crispin -- love it! You may also like Caspian.
Piers -- I like this a lot with the PEERZ pronunciation (rather than like the word "pierce")
Simon -- also really nice. You may also like Oliver, Henry, Alister or Nolan.
Nice list, overall. ;)

Ps. I also like Clive. Some non-ive names with a similar feel might include Clyde, Colin, Conall, Cullan, Curran, Cael, Callum, Cian, Cillian, Carrick, Craig or Ewan.

Fantastic list! There are so many on here that I really, really love.
Lilla -- okay. This is pretty, but I'm really sick of all the Lily/Lillian/Lila names.
Adeline -- very pretty. I love the nn Addie.
Astrid -- I like this a lot
Belle -- ugh, SO sick of the Belle names. Sorry.
Lucia -- very pretty and refreshing
Sylvia/Sylvie -- Not a personal favorite, but I like that it's unexpected.
Susannah -- LOVE this. A long-time favorite of mine. I prefer the Susanna spelling personally, but this one is lovely too.
Camilla -- Love this. I also love Camille as a middle name.
Piper -- cute but trendy. It's not as timeless or refreshing as many of your other choices.
Reese -- very trendy. I do like it as a nickname for Theresa though. On its own, I prefer it as a middle name where it sounds more like a family surname and therefore less trendy.
Clair -- love this
Fiona -- love this too
My favorite combinations:
Fiona Clair
Susannah Camille
Lucia Clair
Sylvia Camille
Camilla Reese
Boys in no order
Jonas/Jonah -- LOVE Jonas. Jonah is nice too.
Porter -- I love this in theory, but for some reason, I always think "porter=porker" which ruins it for me.
Solomon -- this is great and unusual. I like it a lot.
Tobias -- Love this
Ronan -- LOVE this. Great choice. A personal favorite.
Grayson -- I'm on the fence. This one is EXTREMELY popular and trendy in certain areas so I'm a bit sick of it personally. But I LOVE Gray/Grey, especially as a nickname.
August -- love this!
Emory -- since I live in Atlanta (home to Emory University) this seems like an odd name choice to me. I've also known quite a few girls named Emery/Emory, so it feels slightly feminine.
Gunnar -- not a fan. I know it actually has nothing to do with guns, but it sounds violent to me.
Crispin -- Love this!
Piers -- nms personally, but I like it a lot.
Simon -- love it
Some favorite combinations:
Simon Piers
Crispin August
Ronan Gray
August Piers
Jonas Gray
Tobias Crispin
Here are some sibling groupings that leap out at me:
1) Simon, Tobias, Solomon, Jonas/Jonah, Susannah
2) Adeline, Susannah, Lilla, Camilla, Clair, Simon, Jonah, August
3) Astrid, Sylvia, Crispin
4) Piper, Reese, Porter, Grayson
5) Fiona, Ronan, Clair
Names I like from you rlist (some spelling changes):

Great lists! Here are my thoughts:
Girls in no order
Lilla-I love Lily/Lilia/Lillian/Liliana/Lila, but for some reason Lilla doesn't do it for me.
Adeline-I love it! This has been at the top of my list for a while, but I wouldn't personally use it these days on account of the extream popularity of Addison.
Astrid-This is nms. It's probably the 'ass' part. Sorry.
Belle-Ooh, yes. I love the simplicity of this.
Lucia-Gorgeous, & Lucy or Lulu are both great nns.
Sylvia/Sylvie-Ah, that's fabulous.
Susannah-That's very nice.
Camilla-This is nice. I like Millie.
Piper-That's nms. It just doesn't strike me as a name.
Reese-This is too masculine.
Clair-I like this w/an 'e' on the end.
Fiona-Very pretty.
Boys in no order
Jonas/Jonah-Those are both really cool. I like Jonas a tad more.

Ronan-Handsome.
Grayson-This is nice. I like Gray a lot.
