Name for Number Two?
| Tue, 12-26-2006 - 2:43pm |
We are very excited to be expecting our second at the end of July but are having a difficult time with possible names. We've been thinking about names for the past year or so in anticipation of this little one and are having little luck, so time for some outside help! :)
My DS is Harrison Eli (nn Harry after my DH's grandfather).
Our last name is Arnold and, unfortunately, we don't like the sound of first names that start with vowels with our last name. Too bad, because lots of my fav girl names start with A and E -- Annabelle, Ava, Eleanor, etc.
Any ideas? Thanks a million!! :)

hello!! i love "a" names myself, but can understand why you wouldnt want the intials the same...anyway, heres a few names that came to mind:
GIRLS:
cassidy
cassondra
kirsten
natalie
isabella/e
violet
jasmine
caroline
charlotte
boys names:
chandler
travis
jackson/jack
caleb
blake
mason
grant
logan

With brother Harrison Eli
-last name Arnold
-can't begin with a vowel
With last name Arnold, I don't see a big deal in using a name starting with a vowel, however I can see flow problems if it ENDS in a vowel- ie. Tabitha Arnold (the a's run into each other)
Chloe Arnold
Bridget Arnold
Felicity Arnold
Faye Arnold
Macy Arnold
Simone Arnold
Megan Arnold
Camille Arnold
Caitlin Arnold
Hadley Arnold
Summer Arnold
Scarlett Arnold
Charlotte Arnold
As for a boy, I think Harrison and Dominic are PERFECT as brothers... Dominic Arnold (nn Nick/Nicky?) has great flow.

Thanks for your responses!
There are a few suggestions for "Charlotte" which we like very much. Besides "Lottie," any ideas on nicknames? Also, what about a nickname for Scarlett?
Again, thanks -- this is a great board!
