Some of these may be a tad preppy. </p> <p>And of course, I'm partial to the name Hayes. We love it, but I do have to pronounce it a couple times or spell it for people. But I like the it sounds presidential - think Rutherford B Hayes - but country casual - think Hayes Carll. </p> <p>Everett<br /> Miles<br /> Clark<br /> Griffin<br /> Levi<br /> Brooks<br /> Declan<br /> Davis<br /> Barrett </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-first-and-middle-names-suggestions#post-2056632 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 20:48:24 +0000 mrschickpea 2056632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: thank you! I really like these as a subset! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-first-and-middle-names-suggestions#post-2056180 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 16:20:21 +0000 lawbee11 2056180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lucy Kate &amp; Arlo Rhys </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-first-and-middle-names-suggestions#post-2056172 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 16:17:00 +0000 mrschickpea 2056172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loki: I think it's a good compromise and if it helps to make the decision easier, even better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-first-and-middle-names-suggestions#post-2056122 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 15:43:49 +0000 loki 2056122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrschickpea: it is really precious and i looooove nn Poppy! it is similar to Papi but i don't think that's an issue, really!<br /> and yes we are still deciding between Gemma &amp; Willa. I think it'll be a gametime decision but for now we are thinking if she is born with dark hair she'll be a Gemma and if she is born with light hair she'll be a Willa... only way we could come to an agreement, even though we know her hair colour will totally change as she ages haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-first-and-middle-names-suggestions#post-2056100 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 15:36:55 +0000 mrschickpea 2056100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loki: yeah. That was the thing about Penelope, a little too popular :sad: But we still love it so it made the list. We did think of the Beatrice middle name becoming "Bea"! We likes that we could call her Anya Bea, Penelope Bea, or Gemma Bea! </p> <p>I know Gemma is on your list too lady!! Are you guys still deciding between Willa and Gemma? How are you doing it?!? They are both such amazing names!?!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-first-and-middle-names-suggestions#post-2056085 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 15:31:53 +0000 mrschickpea 2056085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Tanjowen: Anya is my husbands pick that he came up with! I do love it! Gemma is my top pick! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-first-and-middle-names-suggestions#post-2056078 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 15:29:15 +0000 mrschickpea 2056078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks ladies, some raeally good ideas to put down and share with DH! </p> <p>@AggieDaze: we did think of Charlie for a girl but I have a good friend with this name! DH wanted to do Charles Xavier of course so we could call him Professor X lol! My idea was Charlie Brewster :happy:<br /> @Leialou: @loki: @Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Penelope Beatrice was not one that I put together yet! I thought it might be too many syllables or a mouthful! But I like it! Especially since we planned on using Poppy! I think part of me is still wavering because it sometimes reminds me of what my sister in law calls my Puerto Rican brother: Papi. Would that be weird? Lol, I really love Poppy!</p> <p>@yellowbird: I LOVE these combos! GUH, this is so hard! We love all the names, I guess we'll have to have like 7 kids so that we get a shot at using them all! :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-first-and-middle-names-suggestions#post-2055527 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 11:21:21 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2055527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shephard Sullivan<br /> Shephard Rhys</p> <p>Shep nn</p> <p>Both nn for the girls are really cute.</p> <p>Penelope Beatrice<br /> Penelope Sabine</p> <p>Evren Beatrice </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-first-and-middle-names-suggestions#post-2055389 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 10:21:28 +0000 yellowbird 2055389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Penelope Maeve and Sullivan Rhys </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-first-and-middle-names-suggestions#post-2055356 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 10:01:45 +0000 Tanjowen 2055356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted Anya because I was a Davis growing up and first name Anya with a T in front, so I'm partial to it :wink: I also really like Gemma for a girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-first-and-middle-names-suggestions#post-2055332 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 09:45:25 +0000 loki 2055332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think Arlo Brewster! and I love Poppy Beatrice so I voted for Penelope but I know like 4 baby Penelopes soooo I would just go straight for Poppy if that's what you'd call her. I also love Pippa and think Pippa Beatrice would be cute. I also just love Beatrice as a first name and call her Bea! Bea Mavis with a D? Cuuuute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-first-and-middle-names-suggestions#post-2055050 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 00:07:12 +0000 nana87 2055050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Penelope Sabine (though I like Beatrice as a first name!) and Arlo Sullivan </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-first-and-middle-names-suggestions#post-2054938 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 22:20:08 +0000 AggieDaze 2054938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Sullivan and Nolan best for a boy, and am all about family middle names. Brewster is cute. </p> <p>For a girl, I like Penelope. Have you considered Charlotte Beatrice (and call her Charlie)? I like that too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-first-and-middle-names-suggestions#post-2054915 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 21:53:48 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2054915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Penelope Beatrice and Nolan Brewster. Obviously I'm a fan of using family names as middle names. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-first-and-middle-names-suggestions#post-2054882 Wed, 04 Feb 2015 21:28:20 +0000 mrschickpea 2054882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the spirit of all the recent naming post, I ask for the Bee's help! We will be TTC starting in April and are planning on being team green. Though we've narrowed down the names we like to 4-5 on each side and we like them all, it would be great to get it to 2 names for each sex. We do want to wait until we meet our LO to decide a name for sure. </p> <p>I have listed all the middle names we are deciding between as well. If you all could help matching first names to middle names, or love any combos in particular please post! Also, if you have any other suggestions, we tend to lean towards strong, more classic names (but not in the top 20 if possible) with a few quirky ones thrown it :happy: </p> <p>Our last name is Mavis with a "D", so pretty common.</p> <p>Middle names:<br /> Beatrice (family name)<br /> Joanna<br /> Sabine<br /> Clementine<br /> Maeve<br /> Kate<br /> Geraldine (family name)<br /> Amelia</p> <p>Elliot<br /> Shepard<br /> Rhys<br /> Alastair<br /> Sullivan<br /> Brewster (family name) </p>
