Hello. Me again!
Sorry, you guys are probably becoming very sick of my posts!
But once again, I come to you because I need advice.
We have decided to scratch Plum as a middle name for Veda, even thought I love it, Plum just doesn't sound quite right with Veda.

So I've made a list of other possibilites;
Veda Blossom
Veda Button (Her daddy thought this up and LOVES it lol)
Veda Olive
Veda Honey
Veda Bliss
Veda Bloom
Veda June

We have also scratched Atticus Jem, because it felt weird and wrong using those names when we have no connection with the book (to Kill a Mockingbird) whatsoever. So instead, our back-up boy's list is open again.

Along with August, we like;
Hugo
Otis &
Felix

Middle will likely be Jem/Gem, but we're open to suggestions.

What do you guys think?
We need help! lol. Baby Bean will be here in three weeks and we still aren't completely set on a name! We're already failing at this whole parenting thing..haha
TIA

I think Felix Jem sounds cute!

As for Veda, I like Veda June the most. I also like Veda Blossom. :)
Veda Honey sounds to me like you're saying "Veda, honey..." so I personally find that a bit strange. But that might just be me haha.

I think Veda June flows the best, but I also like Veda Olive, and I actually kind of think Veda Button is cute. Sometimes it's nice to have fun with the middle name!

As for the boys, I like Hugo best, followed closely by Felix. And I think either would sound fine with Gem/Jem.

ps. I always like your posts! I think you have a lovely naming style.

I personally never get sick of name posts =).

Anyway, I love the sound and look of Veda June, that one is definitely my favorite! Veda Olive and Veda Bloom are pretty too.

Otis is one of my favorite boy's names, so needless to say I think that one's GREAT. Otis Jem sounds good, too.

I think Veda June flows best for the girls and if its a boy it has to be August! Its so adorable!

i like veda olive and veda june the best. veda bliss is kind of nice too.

i like all of your boy's names! hugo has been growing on me lately.

Felix Gem! <3

I like Veda Bloom and Veda Blossom.

I think with Veda you need something that complements it without making it sound too much like a brand or product name (Veda Bliss has that ring to it, for me).
I like Veda Blossom a lot :)

Felix Jem sounds pretty interesting, but I also like August a lot
Gem is a little too feminine, I think, so I prefer the Jem spelling. However, Jem really reminds me of this cartoon (that's Jem in the picture)

I actually think Veda Button sounds perfect. I think the other options are too sweet for Veda. I like it paired with something more pragmatic, if that makes any sense, lol. I also love Hugo and Felix although I like Fritz better than Felix if I were to be using it myself... But then, paired with Gem I like Felix.

I really like your posts, you have such fun taste in names. :)

Veda Button is actually really sweet. I like all of the names on your list, except I'd nix Veda Olive just because the -a and soft O sounds a tad bit awkward sounding. Veda Blythe is another name you might like, in the same vein as Blossom, Bloom, and Bliss. :) Veda Petal would be cute, too. Oh, or Veda Poppy or Veda Marigold...I'll stop now. :P I still really like Dorothy Bird/Dottie, though...it's definitely my favorite of your list!

Love August, Otis, and Felix! Hugo is nice too, though with a noun middle name like Gem/Jem it just makes me think "Huge Gem" which might be weird?

Oh my Goodness!
Thank you so much for this list! There are diffinately a bunch of names I like on there, not only for middle, but possibly firsts as well. (I especially LOVE Otto)
Wolf would be pretty awesome.
Felix Wolf, or even August Wolf I really like.
I also love Veda Petal.
Thank you so much!

I love Veda June, but Veda Olive is a very close second. (Olive is on our list as well!) I also really like Veda Bliss. My husband walked by and said he loves Veda Button---must be a man thing. ;)

I like all of your boys names except Otis, which I don't hate, just don't love. And I even with the slight To Kill a Mockingbird reference, I much prefer Jem to Gem.

[http://users.livejournal.com/-----citylight/]

Haha. Button is oh so manly! lol

[rubytitania.livejournal.com]

I like Veda Blossom and Veda Honey the best, which is odd as I don't really like either of those middle names on their own...but they flow nicely with Veda :)

[coffeecup37.livejournal.com]

Loving Veda Blossom and Veda Honey! I still think Veda Plum sounds nice, but maybe I am weird? lol
