HelpRe: Need ideas for baby 2!
in reply to a message by anotheremily
First, I love the name Herschel... simply adore it. I am happy that you added it to your options.
I personally prefer Octavia Louise to Hunter Louise, though I do know a couple of female Hunters and they are exceptionally pretty and sweet girls.
However, Octavia sound prettier, is quite uncommon and a name that oozes personality. I highly reccommend that choice, and think Louise is great because it honors both your mother, grandmother and the tradition of using family names.
I am having trouble with the boys - but only because I like them both. Cedar and Herschel are both names I have wanted to use myself at one point or another, and I think you chose good solid names to pair them.
Phillip Herschel is more my style, and I do prefer it of the two. It has a lot more class and antique oomph to me. Phillip you don't hear as often, and I am of the belief that everyone should have either a very significant middle name, a very statement middle name, or no middle name at all. You have both the significance and the statement piece built in.
As for Miles Cedar - this I almost want to reccommend to you, because it is far more modern and mainstream, yet still interesting and unexpected. I think this would fit better in the naming trends for today... but still be a combo of names that have been used historically. I do want to point out that both names are noun-names though, in case that bothers you (doesn't bother me, I love noun-names).
So, I guess I would reccommend Octavia Louise and Miles Cedar for a baby today, even though I really really love Phillip Herschel better.
