new names, help!

[after-the-ashes.livejournal.com]

So... I feel like I've heard every name in the book and I don't like any of them enough. Or, rather, my husband and I don't agree on any. We're going to TTC starting this Monday, so by Friday there should be something in the works, haha. I don't know what we'd name it! At all. I thought we had a boy name picked out, but apparently he wants to look around and isn't as into it as he was last time around. Weird. It was going to be Henry Isaac Andrew.

We are hoping for a boy, but I'm more worried about girls names. I think it would have to be a "C" name since our girls are Cressa May Henri and Cora Rosemary Noreen. Our last name starts with a hard "C", too. So far we've thrown around Claire and Clea (prn. clay-uh). I like Cassia, Caroline, Cliona and Claudia. He likes... Carmen, Camille.

If it's not a "C" name it needs to go with Cressa and Cora like names in a book. I can't explain it. I really like the nn "Del" so I can see Cressa, Cora and Adele. It sounds "right". I want the name to be like a punctuation mark. Like it finishes the set off. Does this make any sense?!?! Sorry. I feel like that's the only reason we like Claire, it seems to end the list nicely.

So, I guess I'm asking a couple things:
- I want to hear every single name out there. I want to hear something new and go, yeah! I felt like that when names like Cassia and Lavender were brought up. I feel like we've gone everywhere already, though. I'm looking for legit names, probably from different countries. My hubs likes German names.
- I want to know what "C" girls names you all like and let me know if you think the "C" thing is necessary or not.
- If the "C" thing doesn't matter, what names "go" with Cressa and Cora?
- Boys names? I feel like I've REALLY heard them all and nothing's clicking. Help!

I need something to work with here, thanks!

i dunno please don't do the C thing again. I don't mean this to be offensive at all but whenever i hear people who have children with names that all start with the same letter i just kinda cringe inside and roll my eyes. It seems so STRANGE to me. I don't get it. I just am not a fan. I don't like matchy-matchy and i just think it's really so weird to do that.

/rant.

Aside from that i think Adele is gorgeous and totally unique enough that it goes great with your other daughters' names. I love it.

You have great taste in names btw, your daughers have really fabulous names. I just think a third C name would be overkill.

Other names:

Hazel
Marla
Winter
Rivka
Mira
Zoey
Francesca (you could shorten it to Cesca (or Chessie) or something and have the C sound that way? i dunno)

thats all i can come up with for now. I totally understand what you're feeling though, having heard every name and still not really jiving with them. It's hard to name a whole person!

Hey! We used to be LJ friends :) And don't worry, I think it's weird, too. If it's a boy, there's no way it would be a "C" name, but I didn't know if I should keep it up to be fair if it's a girl. It was just in my head that way.

omg yea we did!! i didn't even pay attention to user names lol yay for you TTC again!!! That's so exciting :)

and i completely understand the impulse to do it but I just would hate for you to seem like one of "those" people if really you're just kinda trying to figure out what goes with what.

Plus I'm biased, i totally went to school with a girl and her mom gave them all the same initials as their dad. DFT. Dara Faith Tye, Drew F-something Tye and Dylan or something Francis Tye i dunno, and their dad was DFT and it was just like weird to everyone kinda. I dunno. I'm totally rambling.

Anyway, I'm excited for you and I'm glad you weren't offended by my comment! it's hard to be honest about somethign like that and not offensive lol :)

Thanks! We're really excited about it. And, yeah, I'm not easily offended =] Plus, I think I just needed to hear that it was ok not to use a "C" name.
