A reader named Michelle has a son named Saylor Dorian. She’s expecting a baby girl in May and would like some name suggestions. She says:
We originally picked shiloh for a girl but we aren’t liking how popular it’s getting [due to a celebrity finding it first..grrr] we want a unique name that’s still ‘easy on the ears’ as in easy to get used to. I try to stay away from the too feminine popular vowel names like ava, bella, etc… though we like them we don’t want a trendy name like piper, stella, etc…
We are currently tossing around names like vega, remy…. though what i loved about shiloh was that O ending.. but we are open to whatever.
First let’s try to come up some more o-endings. How about:
Callisto Calypso Clio Flo (Flora/Florence) Jo (Josie/Josephine) Juno
Leo (Leona) Margot Marlow Meadow Mo (Maureen) Willow
And here are some other names that came to mind:
Audra Briar Darcy Dylan Emery Fiona Gillian Greer
Heidi Ione Jaya Lotus Lyra Mina Morgan Nadia
Naomi Nova Phoebe Rory Tess Violet Vita Zillah
Which of the above do you like best for Saylor’s sister? What other girl names would you suggest to Michelle?
A reader named Heath is expecting his third child, a boy, and would like some name suggestions. Here’s what he says:
I’m Heath, wife is Aspen, daughter is Channing and son is Deacon so we’re looking for a name that most kids won’t have but also want something that isn’t feminine, will get him picked on or doesn’t sound like we are trying too hard.
Here are some of the names they’ve been considering:
My favorite is Justice but that has no chance with my wife. She likes Ridge but I quickly vetoed that. Her favorite is Easton but I was looking for something more. Some others that we have thought about is Beckett, Kingston or Tate but again I’m not overly thrilled.
Many of the names above come from surnames, so that’s what I focused on as I brainstormed:
Baron Bridger Brogan Corbin Dax Edison Evander Ezra Felix Finn Fletcher
Franklin Fulton Garrison Graham Griffin Grover Hawthorn Jasper Lachlan Lawson Lennon
A reader named Tamela wrote to me yesterday. She has one son named Hudson and is expecting her second son in a couple of months. She’d like some name suggestions for baby boy #2.
Hudson comes from a surname, so the first place I’d look is other surnames. Here are a few ideas:
Archer Baxter Bennett Blake Carlisle Carter Everett Fletcher
(At first I was only going to omit names ending with -son. Then I decided to cut all names with n-endings, just to get a good range of sounds in there.)
Do you like any of the above with Hudson? What other names would you suggest to Tamela?
Update (3/14): Tamela has to get some adoption paperwork squared away, so she needs to select a name within the next few days.
Here are a few more facts:
The baby’s surname will be a Spanish name that starts with an S. Think Silva, or Santos. (Neither of these is the actual surname.)
Because the baby is coming from Russia, Tamela would really like something that’s “at least a little Russian.”
Current favorites include Maxwell, Luis (nn Louie) and George (Tamela’s father’s name). She also mentioned Matteo in this comment.
I really like both George and Maxwell with Hudson. I think either one would sound great as a first name.
Matteo doesn’t strike me as being a great match to Hudson, in terms of style. (Fits perfectly with the surname, though.)
I’m undecided on Luis. I don’t think it’s a terrible match, but I don’t think it would fit as well with Hudson as Maxwell or George would.
As for Russian names, let’s see…Maksim or Maksimilian are both similar to Maxwell. Yuri is a version of George. (Also a cosmonaut!)
Or perhaps one of these Russian names would work as a middle:
Aleksandr Benedikt
Eduard Filipp
Isaak Luka
Nikolai Viktor
(I picked these because they’re so close to their English equivalents. Almost like they’re just English names with a Russian twist.)
As far as combinations go, I’m partial to George Maksim and George Maksimilian. Both are similar to George Maxwell, which Tamela mentioned in her comment, but they look and sound a bit more Russian.
What other thoughts/ideas do you have for Tamela?
