WDYT

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

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
