WDYT

[myiris.livejournal.com]

Looking for thoughts on mine and my wife's baby name list. Last name is Ward. WDYT?

Boys:
Nathaniel Asher
Judah Henry
Canyon Asher
Travis Oliver/Travis Jule/Travis Judah
Harvey Jule or Harvey Dean

Girls:
Lola Melody
Levi Charlotte/Levi Sofia/Levi Daisy**
Chandler Renee
Phoebe Carson/Phoebe Renee



** Just a little footnote, we realize Levi isn't traditionally used for females, but we LOVE it for a girl. So yea, I already know that it's more commonly used for boys. Also, Levi is almost definitely going to be the winner if our future baby is a girl, just uncertain about the middle name. The rest of the combos for girls are back-up plans, I guess ;)


Also, some names I've come across lately:

Manhattan Porter Ellison - coworker's daughter, 4yo, goes by "Hattie," parents met in Manhattan so that's why I guess...
Kenyon Charles Bray
Jesse Jane Donathan - joins brother Josiah.
Kenton David Byrd
Sebina Justus
Levester McKessin

and...

Evey
Ila
Dazzle
Onita
Lennon
Rubin
Taren

Lola was our #1 girls name. I love it. So pretty. : )

From yours, the individual names I like the best are Nathaniel, Henry, Dean; Melody, Levi and Daisy. The combos I like the best from each are Nathaniel Asher and Levi Daisy.

From the other ones, I like...none of them, lol.

Levi Daisy is my wife's favorite - she'll be glad to know that :)

Woot for Levi! I like Nathaniel Asher & Judah Henry best for boys. I think Asher Jude works too. Lola and Levi are my favorite girls on your list. Not crazy about Melody and given that the first thing I think of when I hear Lola is the song...lol. Anyway, love Levi. I'd go with a girly middle name to balance out.

Oh, and I met a Kelvester lol

Nathaniel Asher is what I'm currently pushing for, even though I agree with my wife that Canyon Asher is handsome, I worry about going TOO different. So Nathaniel is my top pick and Canyon is hers. I hadn't thought about the Lola song reference/Melody MN conundrum...hm. That's kinda cheesy, now that I look at it that way.

I'm SOOO glad to find someone that likes Levi as a girl's name. Everyone I talk to reprimands us because it's apparently masculine but I have a hard time seeing names in terms of gender. To me, Levi sounds feminine. I agree that she will need a girlier MN though. My personal favorite is Levi Sofia.

This Kelvester is one of my wife's speech therapy patients. He's in his late 80's. I kind of like this name actually. I'd never heard it before lol

Oh! Manhattan is such a guilty pleasure for me!

Ya know, I never would've thought of it as a name before but it's like most names - once you meet someone who owns the name, it's hard to think of them as having any other title. And the nn Hattie is really cute on her. My coworker caught a lot of guff for this name before the girl was born, but now everyone knows this is the only name for her :)

manhattan is so cute. and I adore ellison

[myiris.livejournal.com]

eh, i should've mentioned that ellison is the surname but still, i agree. it flows really, really well. i usually don't like city/state names as baby names, but this one was really cute to me.

I once knew a Nathanael Asher and I always thought it was a really cool name.

Nathaniel Asher is beautiful! I love that one. I like your othr boy's names too, except for Canyon.
Not really a fan of your girl's names, but I like Levi Sofia best.

You know, I'm not hating "Hattie".
