I posted my name list a while back when I first joined the group, but since I've been seriously considering my boyfriend's last name into the equation, there have been some changes. His last name is Kabulski... yep, very Polish. It obviously doesn't flow with just any name, especially just any girl name. I've pretty much decided not to worry about middle names until I'm actually ready to get pregnant, but I'm still open to suggestions! Anyway, here is a short list of some girls names that I like with his last name:
Mischa
Isabel
Sophie

I'm having a little more trouble with boys' names. I realize some of these match better than others, but my favorites are:
Toby
Leo
Eli

I also really like Bianca and Luca, but I can't decide if the hard "K" sounds clash too badly. At first it sounds like they do, but then sometimes when I say them out loud they don't sound so bad because the second syllable is stressed so heavily in "Kabulski."

So... What do you think of these? Other suggestions? Opinions about my "K" sound problem?
Thanks!

i dont see any problem with using bianca

i dated a Czerwinski haha, i love some of the Polish last names, but i agree that sometimes the "K" sound can sound too harsh.

i love Mischa Kabulski... the other two don't flow as well, in my opinion. Bianca is nice, too.

Toby is nice... would it just be Toby, or Tobias?

Yeah I like his last name, but it definitely has an impact on potential babynames!
I like either Toby or Tobias and I like that it would provide "options", but, a - boyfriend really prefers just Toby; b - I worry if Tobias would sound too Hebrew as a sibset with my other names. But Tobias is still a possibility!

p.s.

oh and yeah, Mischa is obviously at the top of my list. I don't think I'd like it nearly as much if it weren't for his last name-- my best friend thinks it sounds like a model name, haha!

I really like the sound of Sophie, or even Sophia. The other girl names sound great, too, but neither of them are really my style. I love Sophie, though.

Your boy names are AWESOME. I prefer Tobias with Toby as a nickname, but otherwise they're wonderful, and they sound great with Kabulski. My favorite is probably Leo, though. It just flows really well, and it's such an underused name.

I don't see a problem with Bianca or Luca. I think the double K sound flows really well; they don't clash at all. I LOVE the name Luca, but Bianca isn't really my style. However, I think it sounds great, and it's not a BAD name, either.

I have an ongoing battle with Sophie/Sophia... haha. Because I think Sophia sounds better with his last name because of the ending, but it's ridiculously popular now. Also I like Sophie a lot better because it sounds shorter and cleaner which I think most of my shortlist does also (with the exception of maybe Bianca haha).
And I haven't completely ruled out Tobias :)
Thanks for the input!

I don't think any "-ie" sounding name (like Sophie or Toby) really flows with the last name, because it sounds rhymey. Otherwise, I really like them! I don't think Luca or Bianca clash.

I get hung up on that with Sophie a lot, but Toby not as much because there's still the possibility that Toby would just be a nickname.
Thanks :)

No, I think your initial instinct on the -ca names is right. You'd get "CaKa" in the middle of the name. Since caca means poop, this is really pretty bad.

Luca Kabulski especially (Lou Caca Bulski).

[ladydiddymus.livejournal.com]

You're right, Luca is the most conflicting of the two! Thanks

i like all the names you have chosen, and i think they all flow well:)
mischa and eli especially.
