Name sightings + challenge

by Llewella (penguiny7)

I ran across a family on Facebook this morning and after seeing one kid's name, had to stalk for the rest.

And I think all of the girls had K middle names too. The mom has a B name and the dad has a Z name. I think the girl's names are too similar, though some are quite nice to see and I actually find Bennie kinda cute.

So if you had to name kids, lets say 2-3 of each gender, using yours and your SO's initials in this way, what would you name them?

Mine would be:
Sarah Eleanor
Spring Elizabeth
Nathan Abel
Neal Augustine

I think the girls names are way too close. Bennie would be cute as a nickanme, not as a given name.

Using my and husband's initials:

Louisa Bonnie
Lavinia Beth
Kent Montgomery
Kieran Moses

Oh, man! My boyfriend's middle initial is Y!

Louisa Maeve
Linnaea Margot

Morgan Yakub
Merritt Yousuf

I cheated a little and gave one of the boys my boyfriend's middle name, but Ys are hard! And I actually think his middle is really nice. It's possibly a little strange that the boys have Arabic middle names and the girls do not, but oh well.

They are all cute names in their own right, but together it's a bit much! Bessie and Betty together is especially rough. Bennie is mad cute though.

Right now, mine would Irish as heck!

Well, we are J and H. We have names on our list from both.

Juliet is one of our faves, and clearly reminiscent of Julius, however, I think you want us to use boy names for SO and girl names for us? (assuming I am a girl ;) )

H:
Hannah Felice
Haizea Noelle
Honalie Vale

J:
Jerome Adlai
Joel Renard
Josse Morgan
Jove Stirling

Bennie would be a cute nickname. I'd like it if it was Benita nn Bennie.

I'm going to you mine and SO's first and middle initials.

Junia Rowan
Beckett Bram

All of the girls except Bennie have a nickname for Elizabeth. That's way too cheesy.

I guess mine would be:

Matilda
Maeve
Margot
Simon
Mina

My boyfriend has no middle name so I suppose I'd give them all my middle initial. I'd go with:

Evelyn Constance
Eleanor Catherine
Elizabeth Christophine

Anthony Camillo
Ambrose Cedric
Armo Cornelius

I like Bennie (only as a nickname though), Zane and Bella. The other girls names sound more fitting on cows.

I just randomly picked some initials for the boys to have since I don't have a significant other.

Galen Balfour
Griffith Benedict
Adrianne Eugenia
Astra Eileen

I know these don't make any sense together, but for some reason I kind of like them.

Can't do the challenge as I have no SO, but I wanted to say that I do like Bennie on a girl (as a nickname for Benjamine, granted, but I do think it's really cute).

Justine Kelsie

Normand Kenneth

Skyler Phrixus
Storm Paxton
Reviva Seraphine
Rosalie Stella

I have just realized that Phrixus is the only P name for boys on my list and it makes an f sound.

- Llewella (penguiny7)

7/30/2015, 5:16 AM

Reviva is way cool

- RoxStar

7/29/2015, 5:19 PM

The girls' names sound like milk cows, or like Petticoat Junction where the daughters were Billie Jo, Betty Jo and Bobbie Jo.

For us:
Boys: Paul Andrew and Patrick James
Girls: Stephanie Dawn and Savannah Marie.

Given that my husband's siblings and his cousins already all have K names and the last name also starts with a K, this is gonna hurt a bit...

Clara Miriam
Cassandra Michal
Kennet Joel
Kilian Jacob

- Tassiegirl +1

7/29/2015, 6:58 PM

I had male K names to cope with too, harder than I would have thought.

- Feorsteorra

7/30/2015, 12:05 AM

It is hard! And I couldn't use Keith, Kevin, or Kurt, 'cause those are my husband and his two brothers, and I couldn't use Kenneth either, 'cause that's my dad. I actually really like Kenneth (I notice it's one you used!), but I figured Kennet would honour without outright repeating.

- Pink Princess

7/29/2015, 4:44 PM

All the names are nice, except Bennie, don't like that for a girl at all. Personally I would prefer Betsy to Betty and something else entirely to Bennie.

My DH has no mn. What about:

Summer Kate
Sage Keziah
Presley - b
Phoenix - b

A bit trendy, but I actually don't mind these names for siblings!

- Katie (Bellula)

7/29/2015, 4:44 PM

For today it would be

Katie Rose
Kassia Robin

Damien Joseph
Dexter Johannes

So... I did this wrong. I just picked random mn initials. But I was quite pleased with those comobos so I'm leaving them up there.

Revised

Katie Luna
Kassia Lilian

Damien Radamel
Dexter Roland
