While we do really like Felix, Miller just seems to fit better with our other LO's names. Thanks for everyone's input. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boy-name-poll#post-2889835 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 20:42:50 +0000 bees_knees 2889835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms. RV: I love Miller and Felix! If your last name ends in -er, I’d choose Felix Semper just for flow of firstname lastname!</p> <p>Ps We have similar styles! One of your vetoes is my DS1’s name! :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boy-name-poll#post-2889826 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 19:28:22 +0000 Kaohinani 2889826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms. RV: "Miller Parris Semper Not-Rottweiler" has a "cool-guy" vibe. :grin: :wink: What about using Semper as the first name? "Semper Miller?" (* My exhusband was a Marine [all about "Semper Fi" 😉 ... He had boot at Parris before AIT at MCRD] and my husband is Army [all about cadence and "This We'll Defend" began at Knox and stayed there] 🤔 ... I know, mortal sin to cross over from one branch to another as a spouse. "Oorah" to "Hooah." 😮 It must be the uniforms [Marine and Army]. 🤣) I digress, you choose lovely names and, I am CERTAIN that whatever you decide will be melodious and fitting for your bundle of joy ... Go with whatever is in your heart. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boy-name-poll#post-2889822 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 18:50:45 +0000 Ms. RV 2889822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have narrowed it down to Felix and Miller. But aghhhh it is so hard to decide. Too bad it isn't twins. :silly: No middle name for sure yet. OH is worried that if DS has a middle name of Semper that he won't want to be a Marine. Ugh. Maybe I should suggest my twelve letter hard to pronounce last name as a middle name to steer him back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boy-name-poll#post-2889821 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 18:42:39 +0000 Ms. RV 2889821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kaohinani: My two favorites are Miller and Semper. I really want to like Knox a lot but I just can't for some reason. Maybe I should try Parris after where OH did his basic training :silly: </p> <p>@gotkimchi: I love Walt but that is the name of our crazy (but fun and nice) hippie neighbor that plays drums loudly all the time. </p> <p>@LAZB: That is random! Especially because Miller doesn't even register as a girl's name on most baby name sites. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boy-name-poll#post-2889809 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 16:16:57 +0000 Beebeeholiday 2889809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With Semper, most definitely Felix. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boy-name-poll#post-2889792 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 13:44:23 +0000 paranundrum 2889792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love both the sound and the meaning of Felix Semper. What a great message to give your child for his whole life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boy-name-poll#post-2889692 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 01:32:01 +0000 LAZB 2889692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’m terrible at picking names for other people, but thought I’d chime in re: Miller. I actually have two good friends both with a daughter named Miller (super random, they don’t know each other and it’s not a family name for either) and also have another neighbor boy named Miller.<br /> My first thought was the beer, but the association went away quickly </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boy-name-poll#post-2889690 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 00:31:11 +0000 PurplePeony 2889690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think Felix sounds the best with Semper, followed by Troy. I’m not a huge fan of all the -er sounds if you did Miller Semper, but I don’t think it’s that bad — just not my style. I’m not sure exactly why, but I like Knox the least with Semper, it somehow runs together too much. I don’t think it’s the “x” followed by “s” because Felix has that and doesn’t sound odd to me, and I don’t think it’s one syllable versus two because Troy is only one as well...maybe just the combination of the two factors? Anyway, if you go with Callum I still like Felix best but the others all sound fine, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boy-name-poll#post-2889672 Mon, 01 Jul 2019 18:27:24 +0000 gotkimchi 2889672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms. RV: I just read through your prior threads and we have a lot of overlapping names so here’s another one for you that was on our list - Walt. Walt Semper Rottweiler </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boy-name-poll#post-2889671 Mon, 01 Jul 2019 18:25:06 +0000 gotkimchi 2889671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@helloperidot: same </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boy-name-poll#post-2889666 Mon, 01 Jul 2019 16:36:50 +0000 Kaohinani 2889666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms. RV: You know why I am partial to Knox [from your last post]. 💕 An idea: To keep your favorite name AND to maintain family tradition, how about "Knox Miller Not-Rottweiler?" OR give your son 2 middle names (* I have 2 as do my children): "Knox Semper Miller Not-Rettweiler" or "Knox Miller Semper ..." you get the picture. 😉😁 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boy-name-poll#post-2889665 Mon, 01 Jul 2019 16:30:38 +0000 Ms. RV 2889665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mommy Finger: @karenbme: It is funny that the beer is the first thing that came to mind because I didn't even think of that and every weekend we pass a Miller Lite billboard and I tell OH "I miss beer. Even Miller Lite would taste good right now." Miller is OH's grandfather (who passed very young) and his brother's middle name.</p> <p>@helloperidot: You are right, that is a good name for getting someone's attention. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boy-name-poll#post-2889664 Mon, 01 Jul 2019 16:16:10 +0000 karenbme 2889664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think Knox is great! I wouldn’t worry too much about trendiness, at least it’s not a name I hear a lot. I also immediately thought beer with Miller, but if it’s a family name for you it’s different. I also wouldn’t worry about too many r’s because like others have said it’s mostly going to Miller S. Rottweiler. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boy-name-poll#post-2889658 Mon, 01 Jul 2019 15:12:19 +0000 helloperidot 2889658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Apparently I'm the outlier but Felix Semper Rottweiler sounds amazing. Particularly if you shout it across a playground. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boy-name-poll#post-2889657 Mon, 01 Jul 2019 15:08:54 +0000 nwm 2889657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted Miller. I actually would not be opposed to Miller Semper. Most of the time you're just going to hear "Miller S. Whatever" and then you still preserve the middle name that has a special meaning to you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boy-name-poll#post-2889649 Mon, 01 Jul 2019 14:08:39 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 2889649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Miller Callum :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boy-name-poll#post-2889648 Mon, 01 Jul 2019 14:02:50 +0000 Becky 2889648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Knox :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boy-name-poll#post-2889647 Mon, 01 Jul 2019 14:01:30 +0000 Mommy Finger 2889647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Knox! Knox! Knox!</p> <p>I do like the name Miller (especially since it's a family name) but I wouldn't be able to disassociate it from Miller Lite. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/boy-name-poll#post-2889641 Mon, 01 Jul 2019 13:26:51 +0000 Ms. RV 2889641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last name sounds like Rottweiler. We are a family of uncommon names. Middle name will likely either be Semper or Callum (def. Callum if we go with Miller).</p> <p>Allowing multiple votes and also open to suggestions. Must begin with a consonant and can't apparently have a vowel followed by a double consonant *eye roll* which is why Barrett was vetoed from my last post.</p> <p>I think I like Miller best (a family name) but I love Semper as a middle name but Miller Semper Rottweiler has too many -er's. Or does it? </p>
