So, I've asked this before and I'm sure I'll ask it again but I need help compiling a list of names for our next baby. Baby will be joining siblings Stella and Felix, and the middle name will be either Roseanne or Eric/Michael (/possibly Merrick?).

My list as it currently stands is as follows:

Girls
Gianna
Isadora
Lena
Penelope
Priya
Paloma
Yasmine
Zara

Boys
Clive
Ezra
Hugo
Jericho
Miles
Oliver

Help build my list! TIA!

I like Yasmine (although I prefer Jasmine), Penelope and Zara from your list. Maybe Zara is the one that blends best with the other names.
For boys, I looooove Ezra!

[pegasus2o5.livejournal.com]

I love Paloma and Zara. Most of your girl names are nice except Lean... Did you mean Leanne or something? I mean, calling a girl Lean is... not very name-like, and puts a bull's-eye on her forehead for fat jokes later.

Your boy names are half-and-half for me, I like Miles and Oliver and even Jericho, but really don't like Clive, Ezra, and Hugo. Just a difference in taste, I guess.

I assume you're wanting to honor both a Michael and an Eric with the middle name? I think Merrick is actually a great idea. It's not often you can make two names into one that actually works, so it would almost be a shame to miss the opportunity!

[erikalyn.livejournal.com]

lolololol I just noticed that I type "Lean" it should be LENA! That's what happens when I post on lj when I should be sleeping lol

[nomoresecret.livejournal.com]

Stella and Felix are great, great names! I really like Zara (my name, minus 1 letter, hehe), Paloma, Yasmine (better than Jasmine), Isadora, Priya, Gianna. Most of your girls names! My cousin is named Rachel Penelope.

names you might like:
Lila
Samara
Violet
Valentina
Vivienne
Jaya

Leo
Roman
Jasper
Henry
Silas

TypED, rather. & that is what happens when I comment from my iPhone lol

[erikalyn.livejournal.com]

LOL! "Lean" was definitely a type-o! It should have been Lena!

Girls names seem to come easy for me but I really struggle with boys names. I don't feel like there is a particular style that sticks out for me, so it's hard to find names that I really like. Even the names on my list I'm not sure if I would use, I just like them most of the named I've come across.

Eric and Michael are my grandfather and uncle who have both passed. I wasn't sure which name I would use but Merrick just came to me as I was typing this entry! I've been racking my brain for months trying to think of a way to combine the 2 as my mom really wanted me to use Michael when I was pregnant with my son but I feel a stronger connection to my grandfather, Eric. I'm happy to have finally found a name to fit the bill!

[erikalyn.livejournal.com]

I LOOOVE Roman! I really really wanted Felix to be Roman but my husband's cousin is named Roman, so he vetoed it right away!

[erikalyn.livejournal.com]

I love Ezra too but I think I will have a hard time selling it to my husband lol

[erikalyn.livejournal.com]

WOW! Thank you for the huge list of names! I'm going to have to sit down at the computer after work tonight and really go through them all but it seems like there are some good ones just from skimming through it on my phone!!

[pegasus2o5.livejournal.com]

Oh good, Lena is much better! I think I still like the others better but Lena is not a bad name.

Boy-name trouble seems to be a rampant problem. I think girls just have a larger pool of good names. Because we're more awesome. ;)

[erikalyn.livejournal.com]

Avalon was on my list when I was pregnant with my daughter and I forgot about it! Love it!

[erikalyn.livejournal.com]

Love Farah too but our last name starts with F and I think one set of FF initials in the family is enough, I wouldn't want my daughter to feel left out lol

[speakingsoul.livejournal.com]

Also boy names are historically stolen and become girl names. (Shirley, Ashley, Stacy)

[requiem-morrow.livejournal.com]

LOL I completely understand! I remember in college I pulled an all-nighter on a paper...only to get a B...when I flipped back through it the entire last page was gibberish... but it looked right to me when I wrote it LOL

[http://users.livejournal.com/___heyvanity/]

I'm a little late to this, but just thought I'd say that I LOVE Merrick. What a cool way to honor Michael and Eric and still come up with a real name!!!

I love Isadora, Lena, Penelope, Paloma, Zara, Ezra, Miles, and Oliver. I think all of those will sound great with your first two, Stella and Felix (which is awesome, by the way). Is her full name Stella or Estelle/Estella?
