Hello! I'm new to this community, and I would love to have some feedback on the names my significant other and I have chosen for our baby ( I am currently 13 weeks pregnant). We decided on Gracian for a boy and Cordelia for a girl because we both love the way they each sound. However, I have somewhat of a sticking point as far as middle names go. The child's last name will be Parker, so anything ending in -er for a middle name sounds kind of strange. Also, with Cordelia anything ending in an -a sounds equally strange to me. I'm partial to using maiden names as middle names and each of grandmothers have beautiful maiden names: Arrasmith and Meredith, respectively. Does Cordelia Meredith Parker or Gracian Arrasmith Parker strike anyone's fancy?

Also, does anyone have any suggestions that would sound appropriate with Gracian and Cordelia?

The only thing we really do not care for are biblical names because of personal preference and I think we're planning on being surprised by the sex of the baby at birth. Thanks!

Hi! The maiden names sound great with the first names you've chosen. Especially Cordelia Meredith - that's really lovely.

I think they sound wonderful, especially Cordelia Meredith. I'm not sure how wild I am about the first names, but it's hard not to love them when they sound sooo good together. Good luck!

Hmm.

I'm not terribly fond of Gracian, sorry to say. The way it comes out for me is "Grayson" with a bad lisp. Maybe I'm saying it wrong.

Cordelia Meredith is lovely.

haha, I couldn't figure out how to pronounce it until I read that comment, then said it out loud and realized how much of a Texan accent I have. :/

I like Cordelia 10000x better than Gracian, but both are pretty. I think Cordelia Jane sounds beautiful. It's actually in my top names for if I have a girl. Delia is the cutest nick. I can just hear myself shouting, "Delia Jane, GO TO YOUR ROOM!"
