Although, after the fact, I feel like my two LOs have names that have a similar vibe and they go well together. They both have really classic names that are pretty international. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-like-you-have-to-stick-with#post-1670053 Fri, 30 May 2014 22:31:50 +0000 wonderstruck 1670053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: Haha, that's funny with all the naming! everyone I've mentioned it to looks at me like I'm nuts, so clearly this is just a weird quirk that I have. But I really really love the name Declan, so I can let the rhyming thing go since I don't want to change the name. They sound okay together though as far as both being names that have become more common recently...modern names, I guess you could say? As far as popularity goes, anyways. That's very cute about the older one naming her sister :happy: That wouldn't have worked for us, the only thing my 12 month old says while babbling that all resembles a name is Bob. Not my style, LOL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-like-you-have-to-stick-with#post-1670046 Fri, 30 May 2014 22:23:17 +0000 Boheme 1670046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like them to go together, but I don't worry about origin. Also - I am so freakin excited for you!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-like-you-have-to-stick-with#post-1669981 Fri, 30 May 2014 21:32:12 +0000 travelgirl1 1669981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmmm probably not. It's hard enough for us to agree on a name, never mind having restrictions on origin and flowing with DD's name :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-like-you-have-to-stick-with#post-1669970 Fri, 30 May 2014 21:24:20 +0000 Greentea 1669970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, yes actually. If we have another and it is a boy it will also be an old norse name. If we have another and it is a girl it will be a french name. Probably another Hawaiian middle for both... my roots! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-like-you-have-to-stick-with#post-1669940 Fri, 30 May 2014 20:57:46 +0000 autumnlove 1669940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like names that go together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-like-you-have-to-stick-with#post-1669937 Fri, 30 May 2014 20:55:50 +0000 blackbird 1669937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our next girl will be of DH's origin (polish) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-like-you-have-to-stick-with#post-1669935 Fri, 30 May 2014 20:54:42 +0000 lilteacherbee 1669935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I don't really think about the origin. As long as they seem to go together, I'd use it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-like-you-have-to-stick-with#post-1669916 Fri, 30 May 2014 20:43:39 +0000 Smurfette 1669916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't even think about the origin. I just want them to sound good together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-like-you-have-to-stick-with#post-1669913 Fri, 30 May 2014 20:43:04 +0000 swedishfish 1669913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: my maiden name rhymes with my married name...I can't use it for a future LO's middle name because it sounds so funny. Also, Applesauce would've been an awesome name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-like-you-have-to-stick-with#post-1669911 Fri, 30 May 2014 20:41:15 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1669911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wonderstruck: HAHA we are the lamest family then... My first name rhymes with my husbands first name, and my maiden name rhymes with my married last name.... And both our kids names start with Ch-</p> <p>The girls names weren't on purpose. I completely let my 2yo name her sister. She just happened to pick a real name and not something like Applesauce. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-like-you-have-to-stick-with#post-1669905 Fri, 30 May 2014 20:37:58 +0000 Ash 1669905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think names have to go. If I like the name, I use it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-like-you-have-to-stick-with#post-1669845 Fri, 30 May 2014 19:51:18 +0000 LovelyPlum 1669845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree, I think they should go, but not necessarily match. And it is never too early to look at names (or two?!) :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-like-you-have-to-stick-with#post-1669774 Fri, 30 May 2014 19:05:59 +0000 loveisstrange 1669774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: This is the problem we're having! lol. Our name for another girl would give both C and her (possible future) sister the same initials. UGH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-like-you-have-to-stick-with#post-1669772 Fri, 30 May 2014 19:05:18 +0000 loveisstrange 1669772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I dont think the origins have to match, but I do like siblings names to "go". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-like-you-have-to-stick-with#post-1669769 Fri, 30 May 2014 19:02:21 +0000 Anagram 1669769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wonderstruck: haha. I'm the same way about first letters. My husband suggested a name that starts with an M if we ever have a boy, and I was like NO! People will think we have a weird M fetish (LOs name also starts with M). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-like-you-have-to-stick-with#post-1669758 Fri, 30 May 2014 18:56:35 +0000 wonderstruck 1669758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, not at all. The only thing I cared about was that they didn't start with the same letter - I know some people do this on purpose but it's just not my style. I didn't want anything matchy-matchy. It kind of bugs me that their names are going to rhyme, but they're the only two boy names DH and I can agree on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-like-you-have-to-stick-with#post-1669757 Fri, 30 May 2014 18:54:19 +0000 Anagram 1669757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think they have to match. I would only side-eye if a name were an ethnic name that were super different to the family's origins. Like a WASP american naming their kid Xao Ling Smith.</p> <p>I mean, theoretically, I support any parent's choice to name their kid whatever they want as long as it isn't a slur or offensive. Theoretically. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-like-you-have-to-stick-with#post-1669751 Fri, 30 May 2014 18:50:22 +0000 septca 1669751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All I care about is that they go together. My name is a very traditional biblical, Jewish name. My sister's name is completely made up with a super frilly nickname (that she always went by). I never understood this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-like-you-have-to-stick-with#post-1669750 Fri, 30 May 2014 18:50:04 +0000 Raindrop 1669750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha this is perfectly normal! :) I think if the names sound related it's fine.</p> <p>As someone with a somewhat weird name and everyone else in my family with perfectly normal names... I never felt I was different except when we go on vacation and they all can find their names at gift shops and I could never find mine! :)</p> <p>So I think whatever you decide will be perfect! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-like-you-have-to-stick-with#post-1669743 Fri, 30 May 2014 18:44:13 +0000 swedishfish 1669743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The same origin of LO #1's name when naming LO #2? R's name is Welsh. A possible boy's name from my pregnancy with R (we were :teamgreen: ) is also Welsh. I was just looking at a Norse name for a girl. I need to stop. It's too early! </p>
