Marin is an amazing name and goes great with Marlowe! Does your DH like it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggest-names-that-work-with-this-middle-name#post-2071995 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 14:39:56 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2071995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: Daphne Sedonia is really cute, and it goes well with M's name! Daphne is on our short list, it's a fabulous name that's totally underused! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggest-names-that-work-with-this-middle-name#post-2071979 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 14:27:19 +0000 coopsmama 2071979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: DH has very fascinating taste. He said yesterday why he doesn't like Ruby but I can't remember what it was - some weird association. He likes the names Brannon, Malcolm, and Atticus for a boy and has suggested Mirabelle and Daphne for girls before. With both of our kids I just chose their names and he decided he liked them. Getting him to suggest names is like pulling teeth. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggest-names-that-work-with-this-middle-name#post-2071930 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 14:09:32 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2071930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: what kind of names does DH like? Ruby and Marlowe are so cute together! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggest-names-that-work-with-this-middle-name#post-2071924 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 14:06:36 +0000 MrsSCB 2071924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: That's what I was thinking with Lilian -- it just seems more grown-up to me. I think Marin would be a great choice. It's pretty unique/not common but not super "out there" if that makes sense. </p> <p>And that sounds really awkward -- I can see why the name Claire would be out! lol it's funny how names can become so associated with certain people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggest-names-that-work-with-this-middle-name#post-2071911 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 13:58:40 +0000 coopsmama 2071911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lady grey: I love how Celia Sedonia sounds as well but I think DH will toss that one out immediately! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggest-names-that-work-with-this-middle-name#post-2071909 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 13:58:00 +0000 coopsmama 2071909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: Lilian would definitely age the name Lily a bit for down the road - that's a good thought. Rose is my middle name actually so that's a good one, too. At this point I'm thinking Marin Sedonia is my favorite, though, because it goes so well with my other kids' names. :heart: </p> <p>And what is up with people like that?! I have no problem with folks enjoying going topless at a nude beach or whatever or being naked briefly while changing but it is SO awkward when the situation doesn't call for it. Claire would often come in and stand in front of me immediately after a shower or something while I was sitting on my bed (that was low to the ground) and talk to me about her day. Buck naked. She would do this almost daily and it was so awkward because I had no idea where to look! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggest-names-that-work-with-this-middle-name#post-2071905 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 13:55:10 +0000 lady grey 2071905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: I think Celia Sedonia sounds rad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggest-names-that-work-with-this-middle-name#post-2071895 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 13:50:13 +0000 MrsSCB 2071895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: I like Rose and Lilian (nn Lily) a lot, and Marin is really pretty. I haven't heard that much before! I also think it sounds super cute with Marlowe :-)</p> <p>PS: Lol at "claire the naked roommate." We had a similar situation at our apartment complex with this girl who was always topless at the community pool. She became known as "Topless Tammy" haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggest-names-that-work-with-this-middle-name#post-2071883 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 13:43:12 +0000 coopsmama 2071883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LibbyLou: love Audrey but we just had a baby born in the family named Aubrey which is too close :( I really like Hollis, though - will think on that!!</p> <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: I wish I could convince my DH about this one!</p> <p>@mrschickpea: Love Marin!! I've actually loved that name for years but had forgotten about it so thanks for bringing it to my attention again. I also adore Harper and think both Marin and Harper go well with Sedonia.</p> <p>@SugarplumsMom: Harper Sedonia is really growing on me, too!</p> <p>@Skadi: I do think it would make a lovely first name but I don't know that it goes with our other children's names. I'm still thinking that through. :) I like Lily a lot. It seems that Jane and Claire are getting fair consideration above, too, so I'll throw them on my list. </p> <p>@lamariniere: Poppy is too cute! I love that name but am afraid it won't age well with a future daughter? Maybe I'm over thinking that. </p> <p>@lady grey: I love Celia and Vita off your list. :)</p> <p>@lawbee11: Brooke isn't bad but was actually the name of a dear friend that let politics come between us -- it was insane. She ended our friendship over who I voted for. :silly: so that's a no go. And in the same vein @MrsH: Claire won't work because that was the name of one of my roommates in college and she was allllways naked so all I can think of is Claire the Naked Roommate when I hear the name even though it is very pretty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggest-names-that-work-with-this-middle-name#post-2071287 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 03:25:48 +0000 lamariniere 2071287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Flowers come to mind for me, kind of makes me think Magnolia, Violette, Poppy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggest-names-that-work-with-this-middle-name#post-2071263 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 01:34:15 +0000 Skadi 2071263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it would make a lovely first name!

Our last name is reminiscent of the word Mercy but doesn't start with an M. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggest-names-that-work-with-this-middle-name#post-2070751 Sun, 15 Feb 2015 15:25:38 +0000 travellingbee 2070751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How many syllables is your last name? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/suggest-names-that-work-with-this-middle-name#post-2070750 Sun, 15 Feb 2015 15:24:38 +0000 coopsmama 2070750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sedonia</p> <p>I'm not pregnant currently but this name has puzzled me for about a year now so I thought I'd bring it to the naming gurus over here. :) We like to use family names for our kids middle names and if we were ever to have another girl don't have many options and the only one we even remotely like is Sedonia which was the first name of my great great grandmother. I actually don't mind Sedonia and think it's a rather elegant name but I can't think of anything that really goes with it. Our first DD is Marlowe if that shows our naming style a bit.</p> <p>Any ideas? :) </p>
