Re: meeting in the middle
in reply to a message by Shiply
I feel your pain. They are all lovely names and you can't go wrong with any of them. But you both need to love the name, so back to the drawing board.
I'm closer to you in style so I'll try to put myself in your shoes and work off of his list.
Brooke --> Bevan, Bette / Bess (nn), Bryony, Bristol, Meredith, Jonquil, Linden, Germaine, Britt / Bridget, Bronwen, Anouk (nn), Evelyn, Blythe, Meadow;
Alice --> Elsa, Alix, Ailsa, Althea / Thea, Eloise, Celeste / Celia, Lydia, Sylvia / Sylvie, Linnea, Jacintha, Carys (or Charis), Artemis, Marjorie, Clemence, Leonie, Frances / Francisca, Lettice / Laetitia, Avril, Petra, Iris, Leandra, Verity, Felicity, Glynis, Elinor, Cynthia (nn Thia?), Mary;
Gabriel --> Balthazar, Melchior (if you can't get one Wise King, try try again), Gavin, Garrett / Gareth, Julian, Adrian, Ezra, Malcolm, Asa, Nathaniel, Ansel, Bartholomew, Barnabas / Barnaby;
Liam --> Lee, Leland, Leander, Heath, Sorrel, Cary, Jamie (nn), Rowan, Remy, Levi, Daniel, Cavan, Ennis, Eamonn, Rory, Gregory (nn Rory, Greer?), Finlay, Shane, Emmanuel, Kelly, Tadhg / Tighe, Peter / Piers, Brendan, Aran, Leo / Lionel, Linus.
Sorry for any repeats. Some of these are a stretch, I know. I erred on the side of inclusion. Good luck. I'd love to hear how your search progresses.
