So I found out this week that I'm pregnant again, due in April, so it's ridiculously early to start looking at baby names but I'm obsessed and can't help myself.

What I have so far:

Girls
Aria
Ginger
Maëlle
Nova
Ophelia
Tilly

Boys
Memphis
Oakley
Sevran

My boyfriend hasn't given too much insight on names he likes other than Phoenix and Summer, both of which I quickly vetoed.

My daughter's name is Stella Marie, so I'm looking for name suggestions that would go well with that, similar in style to the other names I like.

TIA :)

I think Aria, Ophelia, and Maëlle all sound really good with Stella! :o) I actually really like Tilly too, but I wouldn't use it by itself...probably as a nickname for Matilda, which I also think would sound good with Stella.

I just don't like any of your boys' names. Sorry.

Some suggestions that I think could also sound good with Stella:

Amelia - nickname Millie or Mia? I think Mia sounds good with Stella!
Tallulah
Lois
Sadie - I really like this one as a nickname for Mercedes, but I can see it as a good name by itself, too.
Lacey
Arielle
Cambria - I knew someone with this name, and she went by Cammy. I thought it was cute!
Moira
Calley - I like it as a nickname for Calliope, but I know someone with this name...not short for anything...and I really like it on her.
Audra
Scotia
Emily or Amelie - With the nickname Emmy or Aimee? I think they're both cute...
Lucy
Susie - Short for Susan, Susannah, etc.
Laney
Skye - Ok, maybe that's too matchy. Haha.
Linnea
Andi
Alix - Feminine form of Alex. I've always liked it.
Sally
Dagny
Tori - I know someone who goes by this...short for Victoria. But I think it could be nice as a name in and of itself. Think Tori Amos. ;o)
Maura
Gemma
Josephine, nickname Jo or Josie - One of my all-time favorites!!

Some boys names I think would sound good with Stella, since I poo-pooed yours:

Jonas - I've always liked this name because of the associations to the book The Giver. Although, with the Jonas Brothers phenomenon these days, it's probably going to get popular now...or at least people will associate the name with them.
Dean
Tavish
Tobin or Toben - One of my all-time favorites!!
Gavin
Brennan
Brent
Soren
Simon
Sian
Seth - I don't know how you feel about matching first letters...but I like them so I'm suggesting lots of "S" names, haha.
Warren
Marshall
Hamish
Athan


Hmm...I'm not sure what else you'd like, since the boys' names you put out there are really not my style at all. I'll let you know if I can think of anything else!
