Welcome to Five Name Friday! Here’s today’s baby name request:
We’re expecting a baby girl and the challenge is to find a name that sounds good with Augustus/Gus (our son) but that doesn’t have the same old/heavy style (we do not want Octavia, Florence, Winifred, or any name like that). Our last name starts with L and has three syllables.
Can you come up with five great baby name suggestions for this person?
Here are the rules:
- Be independent. Decide on your five names before looking at anybody else’s five names.
- Be sincere. Would you honestly suggest your five names to somebody in real life?
- Five names only please! All names beyond the first five in your comment will be deleted.
Which five baby names are you going to suggest?
I like the pattern of having a name from Latin or with more syllables (because it’s stately) but having a greater proportion of vowels so that the name sounds ‘flowier’.
