My 1 year old (2 year old in a week) 🥹 is named Celia. It’s funny because she and William had the exact same due date, but she was full term and William was born a month early but it’s so funny that they were the exact same due date (July 11th)
I’m not sure if you remember me but I emailed you a while back and told you about my story, trying to get pregnant for multiple years and losing 6 babies along the way. I wanted to let you know, I finally had my rainbow baby and her name is auriella❤️ she’s about to turn 9 months old, and we recently just lost another pregnancy at 11.5 weeks. So watching your videos is a little hard right now but it helps me heal knowing that I can feel happy for others while grieving my baby. You were sweet enough to read my entire story and send me a long heartfelt message back a few years ago, so I wanted to update you a little. Much love sent your way❤️
Wow you are very strong & I’m so sorry you have to go through that. Life is really not fair sometimes. I’ve lost a baby & I just had my rainbow baby 2 months ago and it is so hard so I could only imagine having to go through that so many times. I don’t know if you already know this, but have you ever gotten your hormones checked ? My doctor told me that woman who get pregnant but their bodies can’t hold a pregnancy tend to have something going on with their hormones. Sometimes it can be something as simple as low progesterone & they can prescribe it to you when you get a positive pregnancy test. My sister in law is going through something very similar as well, she keeps getting pregnant but miscarried like 4 times & she got her levels checked and they were extremely low so her doctor prescribed it for her.
Hi, I stumbled on your comment and just wanted to send some love 💜 and also to say that I also have a daughter called Aurelia! (Just the one L, she is 11 months ) 💜
My guesses for your top contenders are Henry and Juliet for a girl. If not, I super duper recommend these gorgeous classic, literary names for your beautiful fam. 🥰
Harvey, henry, Clara, Josephine are names that come to mind that would go well with your current children’s names and also have similar feels to the names you mentioned 😄
I’m 38 weeks with a team green baby, too, and names are SO hard. You could go with Dorothy, and have Dottie or Dot as the nickname. So sweet and classic ❤
I love pretty much all these names. Dottie (nickname for Odette) is the name I had picked out for our last pregnancy which ended in loss. We still decided to give her that name. I still adore it so much, especially the meaning "Gift from God." We also have a Felicity, an Owen, and a Violet, so clearly we also love the very vintage names. And YES boy names are so hard! My husband tends toward very normal and often-used boy names, and I tend toward more unique and old fashioned.
My grandma wanted us to name our sweet girl dottie (dotty) it's so cute!! But we went with Emerlyn.. first girl after 3 boys 😭 we've had this name picked out since before we were married, so over 9 years
Here to suggest Cordelia again bc it’s my daughters name but also bc a Cordelia Loeppky would be so precious and definitely fits the vibe after hearing you love Anne of green gables 😂
@@annehooser2760 yes! We call my girl Cordy too lol I was thinking Cordelia Faye is so cute, wish I would’ve heard the name Faye when I was naming my girl 😂
I think Tobias would be a lovely boy name and would go beautifully with Theodore and William🥺 It means ‘God is good’ and he could also go by the sweet nickname Toby!🤎
I love your style of names! I’m going to guess your top contenders are August for a boy or Beatrice for a girl. If not, I think these names would go great with your other children and your last name!
Love the name Hazel for a girl and recently I heard the boy’s name “Starling” and thought wow that’s different but I actually love it! ❤ As a side point, the old fashioned cute nickname for the baby if you name it Flora is “Flossie”.
Hi Delilah! I agree on boy names being hard! We just had our first boy and named him Lewin. I think it sounds vintage and unique - something you don’t find too often in a boy name.
Love the timeless feel to all of your names! My suggestions would be Maxwell, Jameson, and Philip for boys and Genevieve, Charlotte, and Victoria for girls
I feel the exact same way about boys names! Like they are either too generic or way too “out there” but girls names we find so easy! We are struggling to finalize our top picks for baby #4 too who is also a surprise gender! Top girl names: Coralie (Cora), Ruth (Ruthie) Boy names we sort of like: Oliver, Atticus, Sebastian and Atlas My guess for a top girl name for your family is definitely Ophelia! Thank you for sharing your name list!
My son is named Atticus, he gets sooooo many compliments on it. It's a great name. Cute for a little boy, but also a strong manly name when he is older
@@lydiacollins9018 that’s so great to hear! What does he get nicknamed? If anything haha. My second daughter is named Danae and I thought everyone would call her Dani but everyone calls her “naenae” 😅
@@MamaSamanthaS no nickname actually lol my sister wanted to call him atti but I thought it sounded like addi which is the street name for Adderall 😆 I was like no we're not doing that lol
@@lydiacollins9018 haha fair enough! And good point, there are a lot of boys names I like but really don’t love the nicknames for them. I guess that’s my own projection because growing up I always wanted people to call me Samantha not Sam 😅
You’re so right about boy names being difficult! I know a Vincent, Gilbert, Christopher, and Harrison. How about Melody as an alternative to Elodie? Daphne, Penelope, Siena, Gregory and other Bridgerton character names would fit right in as well since you have Eloise, Will, and Theo 😂
here as few suggestions:) Sebastian - “Revered” Nathaniel - “Gift from God” Isaiah - “God saves” Tobias - “God is good” Julian - “Youthful” Marianne - “Star of the sea; Grace” Annabelle - “Lovable” Margaret - “Peal” Juliet - “Youthful
How fun! Heidi, Viola, Anette is very classic names here in Denmark. But people don't name their babies these names anymore. It's more my mom's and grandma's generations 😊🌞
Norah for a girl is classic and unique.. it’s being used a bit more these days but growing up I was always the only Norah. I was named after my grandmother Dinorah hence the silent H. Congratulations on your new baby ❤🎉
Such beautiful names! My favourites are Maisie, Marnie, Laetitia (Letty), Jemima (Jemmy), Elsie and Amelia (Mia) for girls; and Wilder, Darby, Benedict (Benno), August, Gabriel, Graham and Avory for boys. Can't wait to see what you pick in the end. I'm sure it will be absolutely lovely - all of your kids' names are beautiful.
@@ellencrawley I am actually German. Benno is a name in Germany, but I like longer names, so I thought Benedict would work nicely. I love names with O as well. They are manly but soft in a way - if that makes sense :)
I quite like that Lawrence is on your list. The name Peter Lawrence Loeppky jumped into my head when you said you weren’t sold on how “Lawrence Loeppky” sounded, so I thought I’d share. My husband and I have loved watching your videos on baby names as we’ve been struggling to decide on the name for our daughter (I’m due about a week or two behind you). We also love the classic names like you. It’s refreshing to hear your ideas. ❤️ Thank you!
My name is Gloria. It's old fashioned and not too common. I think it goes with your other children's names and Gloria Loeppky sounds good too. One of the reasons my parents chose it is because it couldn't easily be shortened.
The name Vincent always makes me think of the beautiful song by Don McLean. A guy commented on one TH-cam version that his name is Vincent, and his mother who has passed away now once sang the song while looking at him. It created a really special memory for him, and you could create a similar memory for your kiddo. ❤ The right names will come to you in time though. You've selected perfect names thus far. Seeing all of the thought and effort you put into everything that has to do with your family is so inspiring! You are truly a wonderful mother. 😊
I think Jane would be so sweet for a little girl 🥹 also I ADORE Flora and Caroline ahhh 🥰 we’re expecting a baby boy and our favorites right now are Lewis, Timothy, Asher, and Charlie 💙💙
Hi from France, I’m Celia! Our first son is called Eloi ☺️ Currently 22weeks pregnant with baby girl and so far we’ve come up with 2 name ideas: Soline and Ninon 🥰
I'd recommend Henry. Jasper may match your subset as well. Jasper was my late father's name. It feels so soft and I love it, I considered it for our girls too, I regret not using it. Our boys are Simon, Shiloh & Shepherd. Our twin girls are Sunny and Stevie
For a girl: - Esther: meaning "star" / Esti - Mathilda/Matilda: meaning "mighty in battle" / Tilly, Tilda, Mattie - Judith: meaning "praised" / Jude, Judy - Alison: meaning "noble" / Ally, Alice - Ruth: meaning "friend" / Ruthie, Rue - Charlotte: meaning "petite" / Charlie, Lottie For a boy: - Judah: meaning "praised" / Jude - Charles: meaning "free man" / Charlie - Chester: meaning "camp" / Chet - Julian: meaning "youthful" / Jules, Jude - Silas: meaning "forest"
Here to suggest my sister’s name, Greta! A pretty uncommon but classy name and is similar to Heidi in the style of name. Also for Christopher, some other nicknames for it that I’ve heard are topher and tophie
I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with our third baby, and her name is going to be Hazel Louise! We also have an Alister and Olive. Dottie was at the top of our girls’ list for this babe 🥰 Margot, Daisy, Nell, and Fern were other contenders ♥️
One of my favorite boy names is Gideon! I’m not having kids any time soon but it’s been on my list forever. I think it sounds nice with the other kids names too!
@@megangilchrist315 Oh I’m sure it suits your son perfectly! ☺️ It’s so timeless, and it’s common enough that it won’t cause them problems but still pretty unique. Funnily enough, I started liking the name because an actress in a show I liked is named Gideon! So for a while I liked it as a girls name before deciding that would be a bit too “out there”. Definitely gonna use it for a boy though.
Not that anyone asked….. but I love love LOVE the name Winslow for a girl. That’s so pretty and flows perfectly with her sister Eloise. I don’t love vintage-y names for boys, but the name Benjamin has me in a chokehold to the point that I’m almost certain this will be my son’s name. ❤
I've been waiting for this moment. 😂 I love coming up with baby names (also I notice that your whole family has syllables of three): Boys: Sebastian Loeppky Raymond (Ray) Loeppky Jonah Loeppky Mason Loeppky Jackson (Jack) Loeppky Arthur Loeppky Owen Loeppky Malcolm Loeppky Rowan Loeppky Girls: Josephine (Josie) Loeppky Corinne/Corinna Loeppky Jessamine Loeppky Adelaide Loeppky Ramona Loeppky Olivia Loeppky Marceline (Marcie) Loeppky Unisex: Avery Loeppky
Ohhh yes! I can totally see them going with a Josephine or Adeline for girl! It just fits the vibe of the rest of their kids names too! For boys I had thought of Benjamin, but I think you had said it was in the family already. But seriously such a cute option anyways!!
I have a Vivien and Theodor. I live in Filand but here are some names (English and Finnish!): Boys: Milo Sebastian Olavi Archie/Archer Arthur Jasper Girls: Cordelia (Cora) Lumi/Lumia Maude Lydia Sylvia
I have a very similar taste in names to you and find it’s so incredibly difficult to come up with boy names! Here are a few for your consideration: Eugene, Dominic, Hugo, Thomas, Wesley, James, Howell, Emmett, August, Marcel, and Archie (maybe even Archibald?!?)
My friend's mother's name is Manderly and I ADORE that name! It's so unique yet somehow old school even though I've only heard it in that one context. Manderly Loeppky has a nice ring to it too 😊 Nicknames could be Ly (pronounced 'lee'), Lily, or Manny (if used for a boy?)
As a Caroline, it’s the bane of my existence when people call me Carolyn (emphasis on the Lynn). Even our wedding officiant mispronounced my name 😂. I like Care as a nickname, when I was young I liked Carrie. I don’t like Carol as a nickname, very old school. ❤ I love Wells, Winslow, Gwen, Elodie, Flora and Dottie!
Kind of know what u mean. My name is Suanne, but I almost always get called Suzanne or Susan!! My fourth grade teacher EVEN called me Suzanne for the whole school year! Now if a teacher doesn’t notice the way s name is spelled, there’s not much chance anyone else would get it right. It gets old, very fast!!
My daughter's name is Madeline and so many people pronounce it as Madelyn! I really didn't think that would happen, to me they are two separate names (like Caroline and Carolyn are.)
@@morgansansom7307 Agreed!! I'm always so shocked when I tell people my name and they quickly mispronounce it. I hate correcting people.. it's come up at work too and it feels awkward correcting them! Especially when it's a boss or a client.
I’m really feeling like Amelia (Millie for short) is on your top girl’s name! I would love it myself, but a friend of mine named her child this 🥲 33 weeks pregnant with a girl and really wanting to give the right name!
We named our daughter Clara which means bright ….we like it because it’s old fashioned but sweet too …sounds good with your last name & sometimes we call her Clare
This comments section is an absolute treasure trove of suggestions! I know where I'll be coming for ideas for baby #4 for sure. Our kids are Hugo, Winsome (Winnie) and Dorothy (Dot Dot).
Right now for boys, I love Rowan and Arwen. For girls, I love anything nature related like Willow, Autumn, Hazel, and Winter. I also think Elsie and Ophelia are super cute, and I think they’d work so well with your family! Elowyn is another I’m obsessed with but it wouldn’t work for you guys for obvious reasons
What a beautiful names again. Nice to hear that you both also have a lot a different views over names. My favourite names are; August - Josephine (Josie) Alexander - Juliette (Juul) Mischa - Mabel Louis - Georgia James - June Vesper - Beatrice Lucas - Rosemary (Rosie) Matisse - Lillibeth (Lily) Oliver - Charlotte
We almost always wait to see the baby after he is born to give him a name (we only have boys, 4 of 'em...). There is something about getting to know your child in person before naming him, and I feel that the names are more accurate that way for who the baby will grow up to be.
Teacher here!! I have a student Caroline and she just goes by that. No shortening. I bet someone in her life shortens it, but doesn’t seem like her family does. Beautiful name.
My daughters name is Flora and middlename is Nicoleta. So Flora Nicoleta. I can hardly count how much praise we have received on her name. From strangers, doctors, dentist, friends, kindergarten... And the name sounds great no matter which country you are in. So I really recommend the name Flora :-) If we get another girl in the future, we would love to call her a name with the letter R: Rose, Rosalia, Rosabella/Rosabelle, Rosél. We have also talked about girl names like: Milda, Camille, Evelina, Odette, Maeva, Mirabelle. Maybe there is a name you like? :D Love your videos! Have been here since you were pregnant with Theo. I was pregnant with my daughter Flora, and your videos helped me SO much :)
I know someone named Christopher who goes by Toph (rhymes with loaf) so that’s another option if you love Christopher! When I was pregnant with my daughter, the name we had picked out if she were a boy was Reid :) I also like Wells. Wells Loeppky sounds really cool
I went to school with a boy named Fredrick and he only went by the long form and he rocked it. It really fit his personality he is a unique sensitive and super empathic and creative person.
I love Gilbert, Flora, and Dot(Dorothy)! My favorite old fashioned names are Eleanor/Clara/Ruby/Millie and Edward/Peter/James. My middle name is Carolyn, which is similar to Caroline. Some cute nick names could be Cara or Lyn/Lynnie.
Vincent and Caroline are soooo good, especially with your last name. I think you can call Caroline simply Lini (or whatever spelling) to avoid association with a person you already know. I can't wait for the announcement, wishing you all the best! ❤
We have Iris and Ilan Portnoi. You can try looking for israeli names, they are more unique and lots of them goes well with your last name like Ester, Tamar, Judith, Abigail, Yael, Tali, Jouri (girls) Itai, Noam, Emanuel, Moshe, Shmu’el, Ya’akov and Eliya (boys)
Currently 21 weeks pregnant with a baby boy and my husband has picked the name Ira. We are obsessed. He has had it picked out for ages. Ira means watchful and was one of King David’s mighty warriors in the Bible. 💜
We had a list of baby names we came up with since were engaged at 17 and 18, and from those, we have used one middle name and two first names, but the list has changed over the years, like yours. We always came up with boy names more easily, but now have three boys. We always liked unique names (Leto, Micah, and Dayne are our sons' names). I think for our next child, if we have another boy, we will have a hard time coming up with a name, while we have two girl names ready. Our girl names saved are even more unique though (not sharing those though haha). I like the traditional names you have come up with on this list. I have never heard Florence for a boy ever, but know a few women with the name. You have come up with a big list! Winola is nice and I have never heard of that one. I like it!! There was a girl name we used to want to use that was Skyli but we dropped it after a decade. I also like those names like Juniper, Willow, Clover or plant names for girls, but we won't ever use those. We used to have Weston as a boy name idea. One of my friends named her one son Ronin (which means wandering warrior) and I love it.
I know a girl named Violet and when her sister was learning to talk, she called her Viley. (Rhymes with Riley) I thought it was adorable as a name. Hope you find the names that you're 100% sold on soon. 😊
our family friend has a Guinevere. it's a great name because it isn't common anymore, but everyone's heard it yet it isn't quirky or a "millennial" name
You should definitely do Heidi I think it’s adorable and would fit perfect with your other three little ones. I do also love Dorothy though and calling her Dottie!
Our little 15 year old boy is named Darrion and it means He who upholds good! When one of our girls was born we had Brayan waiting ...it means noble, strong and virtuous. Boy names are the hardest! These were the gems I found in all three of my pregnancy. Praying for a safe delivery and happy little one. Hugs
❤ I come from Slovakia and it is so interesting to see how diferent the names are. We struggeled with boys names as well. Our two sons are Martin and Dominik. But I love Hugo and Vincent too ❤
Ahoj! Living here vicariously as I married a husband with a super Slovak surname and none of my planned names work with it. Dorota (Dorothy), Lesana, Johana are some of the girl names I have on my list and guys' names suck. We share Vincent. I love Hugo in English pronunciation but in Slovak it's too hard/dull for me. I absolutely love Theodore but husband said I could name our son that only if I promised not to beg him for a third and that isn't happening 😅 Tomáš, Tadeáš and Tobiáš are too common for my taste, despite all being nice. I felt like Eliáš (Eliah/Elias) was pretty okay for our use case as well. Bartolomej and Bohumír also had a chance. František, and Fridrich especially would go along with Vincent. Same for Henrich and maybe Klement (though I really adore Clemence and the Slovak version doesn't give it justice). I also enjoy archangel and prophet names (Gabriel, Ezechiel and such).
@@braria9855 😄 I see, it is not easy to find a name you both love and then you have to match it with the surname. Vincent is a beatiful name ❤ maybe Teo/Teodor would go with Vincent? And Daniel is nice too, in slovak "anjel" (pronaunced the same way as aniel in Daniel) means "angel" in english...
I adore “Caroline”, and I swear it is the only name which I’d be tempted to give to a baby girl even if I’m Italian (I like it more than its italian version)..in general I’m not a fan of English names on Italian babies (just because the name/surname combination sounds ridiculous). How about “Gabriel” for a baby boy? I find it very classic and elegant 😊
Some name suggestions: For a boy: - George - Alfred (Alfie) - Finneas (Finn) - Albert (Alby) - Percival - Edgar - Conrad - Hank For a girl - Claudia - Savannah - Gladys - Phyllis - Ramona - Imogene - Posey
Posted this on your Instagram post too but it hey why not again here x Dorothy/Dorothea - Gift of God Elizabeth - God is my Oath Poppy - red flower Lucy - light Edith - blessed Josephine - May God increase Lydia - from the place of prayer Matilda - mighty in battle Naomi - delight/pleasant Winifred - blessed peacemaker Miriam (Mimi) - drop of the sea Jemima - dove Boys Samuel - heard by God Peter - Rock/Stone Jonathan - Gift of god Elijah - the lord is my god Daniel - god is my strength Gideon - feller/hewer Laurence (Laurie) - bright one Jonah - dove Ezra - help/aid Edmund (Eddie) - prosperity Bennett - blessed Nicholas - victory of the people Everett - brave as a wild boar Elliott - the lord is my god Hope someone can find some inspiration 🤍🕊️
And I chose to add Naomi bc that is/was the name of a baby name consultant who with her sister Sarah-Jayne had a podcast where they helped parents to be find a name for their babies. She’s passed away a few weeks/months ago, and I thought it might honour her to have her name here x 🤍
Preschool teacher here. I have had a Harrison and that is what we called him. It was never shortened. And OMG was he a fun, adventurous, loving child. I could definitely get behind this name. And currently I have a Henderson, such a cute name. The family has a nickname for him, but we don't really use it at school because the child wants to be called by his full name and we at school just love that. Thought I would share in case that is a close alternative that might be something for you to consider. Boys names are so hard! I have never shared my top name for a boy because I don't know anyone with it and as an educator that is a true challenge 😂 Vivienne Faye❤ Love Dottie with your last name, which remember probably won't be her last name forever. If you love it, use it. I also love to do the Aunt/Uncle test, the legal/doctor/teacher test. Aunt Dottie/Auntie Dot both very wearable. Dot Loeppky, MD etc... Perfect! Miss Dottie so loving. 😊
In my culture it's actually very common (even expected) to name a baby after older family members, especially a grandparent. Found it kind of funny you want to avoid that but totally get it :) I also found boy names to be harder when we were naming our boy. Girl names are so much easier! My suggestions for boy: Samuel, Matthew, Nikola/Nicola (common for a boy in Bulgaria, love that name!); for girl - Julia, Joanna, Mila, Leah, Evelyn. Can't way to see baby and what name you picked!
My son is named Justus (meaning just/upright) and my daughter is named Sonnet (a little song/poem). Both are considered “unique” names but the Latin/Italian origins make them timeless in my eyes❤️
We have very similar baby name, many of these names have been on our list over the years. We have a Vincent, a Henry and a Guinevere (called Gwennie). Close contenders over the years have also been Vivienne, Cecelia, Violet, Roderick, Brooks and Cedric. Best of luck with choosing a name ❤
I’ll share my sons name, Pierce 💚, because we wanted something uncommon but still recognizable given that our family names are very difficult. Both sides of our family were very receptive of this too which was so nice to have it become loved by all
My brother in law’s name is Vinson…it’s a family name and he goes by Vinson. I believe it means “son of Vincent”. I can see where Vincent would be a little much, but Vinson may be just different and unique enough to be accepted by your hubby. ☺️ I am 27 weeks with our 4th girl and the name game is a real struggle for us at this point. Lol!
Dot can also be a nickname for Charlotte and Charlotte Faye Loeppky sounds like a CLASSIC name to me 😍
Agreed that sounds beautiful
This sounds so Beatiful
Yes absolutely!!
I know a Dorthy that goes by Dot - so cute!
Lottie is a nickname for Charlotte too! Super cute!
I think Vincent is so classy and Vince sounds so cute and matches the most with the rest of siblings names 🥰
Celia sounds beautiful in a row with William, Theodore and Eloise.
Yes I love Celia, Cecelia and Cecily.
I have a similar girl suggestion. Delia for girl and Ernest for boy
Oh Cecelia you’re breaking my heart you’re shaking my confidence daily
My 1 year old (2 year old in a week) 🥹 is named Celia. It’s funny because she and William had the exact same due date, but she was full term and William was born a month early but it’s so funny that they were the exact same due date (July 11th)
my mom's name is Cecilia with the nn Celia/Cilla and you're right it sounds so cute together with the other names

Hi, I stumbled on your comment and just wanted to send some love 💜 and also to say that I also have a daughter called Aurelia! (Just the one L, she is 11 months ) 💜
I met a little boy named Walter, and I haven’t gotten over it. So cute. Nickname Walt. I think it would fit in perfectly with your crew.
or wally as a nickname! so cute!
all i can think about is breaking bad
Is his last name by any chance.. "white"?
my husband and I are considering Walter and calling him Wally
I’m honestly shocked you didn’t include Henry on your boy list. Most timeless classy name out there and seems so fitting for your style
My guesses for your top contenders are Henry and Juliet for a girl. If not, I super duper recommend these gorgeous classic, literary names for your beautiful fam. 🥰
Harvey, henry, Clara, Josephine are names that come to mind that would go well with your current children’s names and also have similar feels to the names you mentioned 😄
I’m 38 weeks with a team green baby, too, and names are SO hard.
You could go with Dorothy, and have Dottie or Dot as the nickname. So sweet and classic ❤
Just delivered my green now blue baby yesterday at 38 weeks and named him Reese! Either way it worked! Hoping you have a smooth delivery!!!
I love pretty much all these names. Dottie (nickname for Odette) is the name I had picked out for our last pregnancy which ended in loss. We still decided to give her that name. I still adore it so much, especially the meaning "Gift from God."
We also have a Felicity, an Owen, and a Violet, so clearly we also love the very vintage names. And YES boy names are so hard! My husband tends toward very normal and often-used boy names, and I tend toward more unique and old fashioned.
You could have a Dorothee/Dorothea and then call her Dotty/Dot x
that was literally my grandma's name! ...but for some reason she hated it, so we all called her marnie, even the grandkids 😂🤔
I was about to comment this!
My grandma wanted us to name our sweet girl dottie (dotty) it's so cute!! But we went with Emerlyn.. first girl after 3 boys 😭 we've had this name picked out since before we were married, so over 9 years
Makes me think of the singer Dodie
As cute that name is, it is too similar to Theodore- they derive from the same root/meaning
Here to suggest Cordelia again bc it’s my daughters name but also bc a Cordelia Loeppky would be so precious and definitely fits the vibe after hearing you love Anne of green gables 😂
Cordelia is cute!
Ooooh I agree with this!!!
Cordelia with the nickname Delia! Delia Leoppky - in a way it’s naming her after Delilah!
Saving for my baby name list lol
@@annehooser2760 yes! We call my girl Cordy too lol I was thinking Cordelia Faye is so cute, wish I would’ve heard the name Faye when I was naming my girl 😂
I'm a Caroline and have always refused to be called Carol... fortunately nobody has ever tried to use Carol on me 😂. Caroline is a beautiful name 🥰
Such a pretty name! I wonder how often do people sing that song to you?
I think Tobias would be a lovely boy name and would go beautifully with Theodore and William🥺 It means ‘God is good’ and he could also go by the sweet nickname Toby!🤎
Also wanted to suggest Dahlia as a possible name for a little girl! I think Eloise and Dahlia sound precious together🥰
I have a Tobias ❤ my sweet little Toby ❤️
Tobias Anthony is a beautiful name.
I love your style of names! I’m going to guess your top contenders are August for a boy or Beatrice for a girl. If not, I think these names would go great with your other children and your last name!
Billie is totally a nickname for William (Will, Bill, etc) so you should totally just use it for William every once in a while!
My oldest is named Vera (with a long e sound), and I love that name so much. It's classy, fairly uncommon, and beautiful to say.
Love the name Hazel for a girl and recently I heard the boy’s name “Starling” and thought wow that’s different but I actually love it! ❤
As a side point, the old fashioned cute nickname for the baby if you name it Flora is “Flossie”.
Charlotte is always so classy! we like Nora and Naomi too.
Hi Delilah! I agree on boy names being hard! We just had our first boy and named him Lewin. I think it sounds vintage and unique - something you don’t find too often in a boy name.
Love the timeless feel to all of your names! My suggestions would be Maxwell, Jameson, and Philip for boys and Genevieve, Charlotte, and Victoria for girls
Looove Maxwell
I feel the exact same way about boys names! Like they are either too generic or way too “out there” but girls names we find so easy! We are struggling to finalize our top picks for baby #4 too who is also a surprise gender!
Top girl names: Coralie (Cora), Ruth (Ruthie)
Boy names we sort of like: Oliver, Atticus, Sebastian and Atlas
My guess for a top girl name for your family is definitely Ophelia! Thank you for sharing your name list!
My son is named Atticus, he gets sooooo many compliments on it. It's a great name. Cute for a little boy, but also a strong manly name when he is older
@@lydiacollins9018 that’s so great to hear! What does he get nicknamed? If anything haha. My second daughter is named Danae and I thought everyone would call her Dani but everyone calls her “naenae” 😅
@@MamaSamanthaS no nickname actually lol my sister wanted to call him atti but I thought it sounded like addi which is the street name for Adderall 😆 I was like no we're not doing that lol
@@lydiacollins9018 haha fair enough! And good point, there are a lot of boys names I like but really don’t love the nicknames for them. I guess that’s my own projection because growing up I always wanted people to call me Samantha not Sam 😅
Our daughter is Lily Faye. Faye after my husband's late grandma and we adore it as her middle name! So excited to see what you end up with!
40 weeks today, and we are naming our little girl Lenora (Nora!) 🥹 Just waiting for her to make her appearance anytime now.
You’re so right about boy names being difficult! I know a Vincent, Gilbert, Christopher, and Harrison. How about Melody as an alternative to Elodie? Daphne, Penelope, Siena, Gregory and other Bridgerton character names would fit right in as well since you have Eloise, Will, and Theo 😂
Daphne is great name with this sibset!
How about Kodie for baby boy?
here as few suggestions:)
Sebastian - “Revered”
Nathaniel - “Gift from God”
Isaiah - “God saves”
Tobias - “God is good”
Julian - “Youthful”
Marianne - “Star of the sea; Grace”
Annabelle - “Lovable”
Margaret - “Peal”
Juliet - “Youthful
Sebastian and Tobias 😍
I'm 35 weeks and STILL trying to find the perfect name for our lil girl - love your videos and praying for you and your family! ❤️
How fun! Heidi, Viola, Anette is very classic names here in Denmark. But people don't name their babies these names anymore. It's more my mom's and grandma's generations 😊🌞
Similar in Germany :)
We call our William “Billy” and it’s the sweetest name for the sweetest boy 🤍 he’s rough n tough but so sweet and Billy just works so well!
Norah for a girl is classic and unique.. it’s being used a bit more these days but growing up I was always the only Norah. I was named after my grandmother Dinorah hence the silent H. Congratulations on your new baby ❤🎉
Such beautiful names! My favourites are Maisie, Marnie, Laetitia (Letty), Jemima (Jemmy), Elsie and Amelia (Mia) for girls; and Wilder, Darby, Benedict (Benno), August, Gabriel, Graham and Avory for boys. Can't wait to see what you pick in the end. I'm sure it will be absolutely lovely - all of your kids' names are beautiful.
I could definitely see them using the name Benedict if they have a boy! I think it sounds nice with Theodore & William.
Malaki for a boy. Millie for a girl. Lacey for a girl. Samuel or Mathias
are you australian?? the benno nickname for benedict is soo aussie and honestly so cute, I wish -o nicknames were more common in canada
Jemima is my little cousin’s name and we call her Mima!🥰 And it is a Bible name too!
@@ellencrawley I am actually German. Benno is a name in Germany, but I like longer names, so I thought Benedict would work nicely. I love names with O as well. They are manly but soft in a way - if that makes sense :)
I quite like that Lawrence is on your list. The name Peter Lawrence Loeppky jumped into my head when you said you weren’t sold on how “Lawrence Loeppky” sounded, so I thought I’d share.
My husband and I have loved watching your videos on baby names as we’ve been struggling to decide on the name for our daughter (I’m due about a week or two behind you). We also love the classic names like you. It’s refreshing to hear your ideas. ❤️ Thank you!
Peter does give off the "Gilbert" vibe and would fit the other names.
My name is Gloria. It's old fashioned and not too common. I think it goes with your other children's names and Gloria Loeppky sounds good too. One of the reasons my parents chose it is because it couldn't easily be shortened.
I'm a Gloria too!
The name Vincent always makes me think of the beautiful song by Don McLean. A guy commented on one TH-cam version that his name is Vincent, and his mother who has passed away now once sang the song while looking at him. It created a really special memory for him, and you could create a similar memory for your kiddo. ❤ The right names will come to you in time though. You've selected perfect names thus far. Seeing all of the thought and effort you put into everything that has to do with your family is so inspiring! You are truly a wonderful mother. 😊
I think Jane would be so sweet for a little girl 🥹 also I ADORE Flora and Caroline ahhh 🥰 we’re expecting a baby boy and our favorites right now are Lewis, Timothy, Asher, and Charlie 💙💙
Hi from France, I’m Celia! Our first son is called Eloi ☺️ Currently 22weeks pregnant with baby girl and so far we’ve come up with 2 name ideas: Soline and Ninon 🥰
I'd recommend Henry. Jasper may match your subset as well. Jasper was my late father's name. It feels so soft and I love it, I considered it for our girls too, I regret not using it. Our boys are Simon, Shiloh & Shepherd. Our twin girls are Sunny and Stevie
Strong on the S I see 😄
For a girl:
- Esther: meaning "star" / Esti
- Mathilda/Matilda: meaning "mighty in battle" / Tilly, Tilda, Mattie
- Judith: meaning "praised" / Jude, Judy
- Alison: meaning "noble" / Ally, Alice
- Ruth: meaning "friend" / Ruthie, Rue
- Charlotte: meaning "petite" / Charlie, Lottie
For a boy:
- Judah: meaning "praised" / Jude
- Charles: meaning "free man" / Charlie
- Chester: meaning "camp" / Chet
- Julian: meaning "youthful" / Jules, Jude
- Silas: meaning "forest"
I have a Judah Andrew🤍
Ruth, Charlotte, Alice and Silas are all on my list❤
Here to suggest my sister’s name, Greta! A pretty uncommon but classy name and is similar to Heidi in the style of name. Also for Christopher, some other nicknames for it that I’ve heard are topher and tophie
I also like the name Gretchen, too!! I like Greta, also!
LOVE the name Greta!
I adore the name Greta
I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with our third baby, and her name is going to be Hazel Louise! We also have an Alister and Olive. Dottie was at the top of our girls’ list for this babe 🥰 Margot, Daisy, Nell, and Fern were other contenders ♥️
Love Hazel!
My grandmother's name was Hazel Louise, I love that parents are going back to classical names especially with biblical meanings.
One of my favorite boy names is Gideon! I’m not having kids any time soon but it’s been on my list forever. I think it sounds nice with the other kids names too!
I love the name Gideon! When my daughter was in the NICU, she had a tiny roommate named Gideon who was such a little fighter.
My sons name is Gideon and we looooove his name so much! He is a mighty warrior indeed!
Oh yes, I really like Gideon!!
@@megangilchrist315 Oh I’m sure it suits your son perfectly! ☺️ It’s so timeless, and it’s common enough that it won’t cause them problems but still pretty unique. Funnily enough, I started liking the name because an actress in a show I liked is named Gideon! So for a while I liked it as a girls name before deciding that would be a bit too “out there”. Definitely gonna use it for a boy though.
Such precious names! We have a Lillian Elizabeth, Emmitt Mitchell, and Charlotte Rylee. Love the classic/timeless names! ❤
Not that anyone asked….. but I love love LOVE the name Winslow for a girl. That’s so pretty and flows perfectly with her sister Eloise. I don’t love vintage-y names for boys, but the name Benjamin has me in a chokehold to the point that I’m almost certain this will be my son’s name. ❤
Winslow would fit so great tbh I love it ❤
It's certainly unique and catchy. Reminds me of Windsor Johnston, a female host on NPR.
I love the nickname Carrie for Caroline. So cute! All these names are lovely...can't wait for your little one to arrive!
I've been waiting for this moment. 😂 I love coming up with baby names (also I notice that your whole family has syllables of three):
Boys:
Sebastian Loeppky
Raymond (Ray) Loeppky
Jonah Loeppky
Mason Loeppky
Jackson (Jack) Loeppky
Arthur Loeppky
Owen Loeppky
Malcolm Loeppky
Rowan Loeppky
Girls:
Josephine (Josie) Loeppky
Corinne/Corinna Loeppky
Jessamine Loeppky
Adelaide Loeppky
Ramona Loeppky
Olivia Loeppky
Marceline (Marcie) Loeppky
Unisex: Avery Loeppky
I love Sebastian for them!!! Josephine too!
Josephine is so cute but i like “Jo” or even “Joey” for a nickname
Ohhh yes! I can totally see them going with a Josephine or Adeline for girl! It just fits the vibe of the rest of their kids names too!
For boys I had thought of Benjamin, but I think you had said it was in the family already. But seriously such a cute option anyways!!
such a great list of names!
@@brittdoesacartwheel Joey is a really cute nickname!
I have a Vivien and Theodor. I live in Filand but here are some names (English and Finnish!):
Boys:
Milo
Sebastian
Olavi
Archie/Archer
Arthur
Jasper
Girls:
Cordelia (Cora)
Lumi/Lumia
Maude
Lydia
Sylvia
Boy names have always been 1000x harder for me as well. My 3 littles are Heidi, Bennett and Alice 😊. For other girl names I love Claire or Charlotte!
I like Violet Faye, I think that would be a really pretty combo with your last name 💓
I have a very similar taste in names to you and find it’s so incredibly difficult to come up with boy names! Here are a few for your consideration: Eugene, Dominic, Hugo, Thomas, Wesley, James, Howell, Emmett, August, Marcel, and Archie (maybe even Archibald?!?)
I wouldn't be surprised if August would be their final pick. Love it ❤ Wesley and Hugo are beautiful too!
Love Marcel!
My sons name is Gideon 💙 I love how it’s old and classic but not overly used
Literally clicked so fast! I love videos like this and I love old fashioned names too.
I like Eden for a boy. It reminds me of Ian but way way cuter
Winslow is in my list for a boy! With the possible nickname of Low or Lowie. So cute!
I love Winslow❤
My friend's mother's name is Manderly and I ADORE that name! It's so unique yet somehow old school even though I've only heard it in that one context. Manderly Loeppky has a nice ring to it too 😊 Nicknames could be Ly (pronounced 'lee'), Lily, or Manny (if used for a boy?)
My daughter is named Auriel ❤️ I think it is pretty unique name. I also like girl names like Johanna, Mae, Aurore/Aurora
As a Caroline, it’s the bane of my existence when people call me Carolyn (emphasis on the Lynn). Even our wedding officiant mispronounced my name 😂. I like Care as a nickname, when I was young I liked Carrie. I don’t like Carol as a nickname, very old school. ❤
I love Wells, Winslow, Gwen, Elodie, Flora and Dottie!
Kind of know what u mean. My name is Suanne, but I almost always get called Suzanne or Susan!! My fourth grade teacher EVEN called me Suzanne for the whole school year! Now if a teacher doesn’t notice the way s name is spelled, there’s not much chance anyone else would get it right. It gets old, very fast!!
My daughter's name is Madeline and so many people pronounce it as Madelyn! I really didn't think that would happen, to me they are two separate names (like Caroline and Carolyn are.)
@@morgansansom7307 Agreed!! I'm always so shocked when I tell people my name and they quickly mispronounce it. I hate correcting people.. it's come up at work too and it feels awkward correcting them! Especially when it's a boss or a client.
My sister is Carolyn and gets called CaroLINE all the time, so I think people are just deadset on getting people's names wrong no matter what.
@@RachelMaryB haha so frustrating! 😂🤪
I’m really feeling like Amelia (Millie for short) is on your top girl’s name! I would love it myself, but a friend of mine named her child this 🥲 33 weeks pregnant with a girl and really wanting to give the right name!
We named our daughter Clara which means bright ….we like it because it’s old fashioned but sweet too …sounds good with your last name & sometimes we call her Clare
This comments section is an absolute treasure trove of suggestions! I know where I'll be coming for ideas for baby #4 for sure. Our kids are Hugo, Winsome (Winnie) and Dorothy (Dot Dot).
I love the nickname Winnie! A big contender for girl names is Winona with either Winnie or Nona as a nickname :)
I have an Elowyn, we call her Wyn :)
Right now for boys, I love Rowan and Arwen. For girls, I love anything nature related like Willow, Autumn, Hazel, and Winter. I also think Elsie and Ophelia are super cute, and I think they’d work so well with your family! Elowyn is another I’m obsessed with but it wouldn’t work for you guys for obvious reasons
Have i found another Tolkien fan over here? 🤓 Rowan and Arwen 😉
@@stasiamay3237 haha shockingly it’s just a coincidence. I tried to read the hobbit and failed 😅
What a beautiful names again. Nice to hear that you both also have a lot a different views over names.
My favourite names are;
August - Josephine (Josie)
Alexander - Juliette (Juul)
Mischa - Mabel
Louis - Georgia
James - June
Vesper - Beatrice
Lucas - Rosemary (Rosie)
Matisse - Lillibeth (Lily)
Oliver - Charlotte
Juliette is my second daughter's name! 😊
Charlotte would be close to those on your list. You could call her Lottie. So cute! Simon would be such a great boy name. 😊
We almost always wait to see the baby after he is born to give him a name (we only have boys, 4 of 'em...). There is something about getting to know your child in person before naming him, and I feel that the names are more accurate that way for who the baby will grow up to be.
I absolutely love your taste in baby names.
Teacher here!! I have a student Caroline and she just goes by that. No shortening. I bet someone in her life shortens it, but doesn’t seem like her family does. Beautiful name.
We named our son Ernest and call him Ernie! I feel like that name fits into your kiddos names as well :)
The name Ernie is very cute!!
Ernie & Bert :(
Oh my, “Madeline Faye Loeppky” would be so sweet!
My daughters name is Flora and middlename is Nicoleta. So Flora Nicoleta. I can hardly count how much praise we have received on her name. From strangers, doctors, dentist, friends, kindergarten... And the name sounds great no matter which country you are in. So I really recommend the name Flora :-) If we get another girl in the future, we would love to call her a name with the letter R: Rose, Rosalia, Rosabella/Rosabelle, Rosél. We have also talked about girl names like: Milda, Camille, Evelina, Odette, Maeva, Mirabelle. Maybe there is a name you like? :D Love your videos! Have been here since you were pregnant with Theo. I was pregnant with my daughter Flora, and your videos helped me SO much :)
I know someone named Christopher who goes by Toph (rhymes with loaf) so that’s another option if you love Christopher!
When I was pregnant with my daughter, the name we had picked out if she were a boy was Reid :) I also like Wells. Wells Loeppky sounds really cool
For girls I love Madeline, Abigail and Tessa and for a boy I love Henry soooo much!
I went to school with a boy named Fredrick and he only went by the long form and he rocked it. It really fit his personality he is a unique sensitive and super empathic and creative person.
I love Gilbert, Flora, and Dot(Dorothy)!
My favorite old fashioned names are Eleanor/Clara/Ruby/Millie and Edward/Peter/James.
My middle name is Carolyn, which is similar to Caroline. Some cute nick names could be Cara or Lyn/Lynnie.
Vincent and Caroline are soooo good, especially with your last name. I think you can call Caroline simply Lini (or whatever spelling) to avoid association with a person you already know. I can't wait for the announcement, wishing you all the best! ❤
I think Eddison, Eddie for short for a boy and Adaline, Ada for short for a girl would go so well with your other children's names ❤
Or Addie
@@Brittany_Ezell Addie is so cute
We have Iris and Ilan Portnoi. You can try looking for israeli names, they are more unique and lots of them goes well with your last name like Ester, Tamar, Judith, Abigail, Yael, Tali, Jouri (girls) Itai, Noam, Emanuel, Moshe, Shmu’el, Ya’akov and Eliya (boys)
Currently 21 weeks pregnant with a baby boy and my husband has picked the name Ira. We are obsessed. He has had it picked out for ages. Ira means watchful and was one of King David’s mighty warriors in the Bible. 💜
I love it isolated as a name, just would like to warn you it means "wrath" as in the vice in some languages.
We had a list of baby names we came up with since were engaged at 17 and 18, and from those, we have used one middle name and two first names, but the list has changed over the years, like yours. We always came up with boy names more easily, but now have three boys. We always liked unique names (Leto, Micah, and Dayne are our sons' names). I think for our next child, if we have another boy, we will have a hard time coming up with a name, while we have two girl names ready. Our girl names saved are even more unique though (not sharing those though haha).
I like the traditional names you have come up with on this list. I have never heard Florence for a boy ever, but know a few women with the name. You have come up with a big list! Winola is nice and I have never heard of that one. I like it!! There was a girl name we used to want to use that was Skyli but we dropped it after a decade. I also like those names like Juniper, Willow, Clover or plant names for girls, but we won't ever use those. We used to have Weston as a boy name idea. One of my friends named her one son Ronin (which means wandering warrior) and I love it.
What about Keyes for a boy's name?
We named our son Bennett 😊 he’s now 2 months old!! Love watching you and your family
I know a girl named Violet and when her sister was learning to talk, she called her Viley. (Rhymes with Riley) I thought it was adorable as a name. Hope you find the names that you're 100% sold on soon. 😊
Our daughters are Guinevere (Gwen) and Octavia (Via). It's fun since we've only met 1 other Guinevere. Can't wait to hear the official name of #4!
Our daughter’s name is Gwendolyn!! I’ve never met another Guinevere or Gwen, that’s so cool!
our family friend has a Guinevere. it's a great name because it isn't common anymore, but everyone's heard it yet it isn't quirky or a "millennial" name
@@hllymchll Yes! 😂 The “millennial name” hahaha
favs of mine...Gable, Jacob, Langston, Victor, Emily, Madeleine, Olivia, Frances
You should definitely do Heidi I think it’s adorable and would fit perfect with your other three little ones. I do also love Dorothy though and calling her Dottie!
Our little 15 year old boy is named Darrion and it means He who upholds good! When one of our girls was born we had Brayan waiting ...it means noble, strong and virtuous. Boy names are the hardest! These were the gems I found in all three of my pregnancy. Praying for a safe delivery and happy little one. Hugs
Those names are so sweet! My girls are Genevieve (nickname Eve/Evie) and Meredith ☺️
Christopher is perfect!!!
My 6mo son is named Ernest and for someone I can’t help but feel like that’s on your secret list! It’s a great name ❤
❤ I come from Slovakia and it is so interesting to see how diferent the names are. We struggeled with boys names as well. Our two sons are Martin and Dominik. But I love Hugo and Vincent too ❤
Ahoj!
Living here vicariously as I married a husband with a super Slovak surname and none of my planned names work with it.
Dorota (Dorothy), Lesana, Johana are some of the girl names I have on my list and guys' names suck.
We share Vincent. I love Hugo in English pronunciation but in Slovak it's too hard/dull for me. I absolutely love Theodore but husband said I could name our son that only if I promised not to beg him for a third and that isn't happening 😅 Tomáš, Tadeáš and Tobiáš are too common for my taste, despite all being nice.
I felt like Eliáš (Eliah/Elias) was pretty okay for our use case as well. Bartolomej and Bohumír also had a chance. František, and Fridrich especially would go along with Vincent. Same for Henrich and maybe Klement (though I really adore Clemence and the Slovak version doesn't give it justice).
I also enjoy archangel and prophet names (Gabriel, Ezechiel and such).
@@braria9855 😄 I see, it is not easy to find a name you both love and then you have to match it with the surname. Vincent is a beatiful name ❤ maybe Teo/Teodor would go with Vincent? And Daniel is nice too, in slovak "anjel" (pronaunced the same way as aniel in Daniel) means "angel" in english...
i looooove the name Josephine for a girl, her nickname could be Joe. i think it’s so unique and will go so well with your last name too 😊
My daughter's name is Jolene and we call her Jo or Jojo. So light and carefree and flirty and that matches her perfectly. 😊
All Josephine's I know go by Josie which is super cute
👦🏼: Benjamin, Everett, Clarence (Elmer, Harvey, Clayton, Francis, Milton, Wesley, Emmett, Percival)
👧🏼: Adeline, Harriett, Josephine (Grace, Mabel, May/May, Mildred, Colette)
I adore “Caroline”, and I swear it is the only name which I’d be tempted to give to a baby girl even if I’m Italian (I like it more than its italian version)..in general I’m not a fan of English names on Italian babies (just because the name/surname combination sounds ridiculous).
How about “Gabriel” for a baby boy? I find it very classic and elegant 😊
Yes!! Gabriel sounds like a name that that would like. I know I do!! And I also very much like the name Caroline!!
Some name suggestions:
For a boy:
- George
- Alfred (Alfie)
- Finneas (Finn)
- Albert (Alby)
- Percival
- Edgar
- Conrad
- Hank
For a girl
- Claudia
- Savannah
- Gladys

Hope someone can find some inspiration 🤍🕊️
And I chose to add Naomi bc that is/was the name of a baby name consultant who with her sister Sarah-Jayne had a podcast where they helped parents to be find a name for their babies. She’s passed away a few weeks/months ago, and I thought it might honour her to have her name here x 🤍
Preschool teacher here. I have had a Harrison and that is what we called him. It was never shortened. And OMG was he a fun, adventurous, loving child. I could definitely get behind this name. And currently I have a Henderson, such a cute name. The family has a nickname for him, but we don't really use it at school because the child wants to be called by his full name and we at school just love that. Thought I would share in case that is a close alternative that might be something for you to consider. Boys names are so hard!
I have never shared my top name for a boy because I don't know anyone with it and as an educator that is a true challenge 😂
Vivienne Faye❤
Love Dottie with your last name, which remember probably won't be her last name forever. If you love it, use it.
I also love to do the Aunt/Uncle test, the legal/doctor/teacher test. Aunt Dottie/Auntie Dot both very wearable. Dot Loeppky, MD etc... Perfect! Miss Dottie so loving. 😊
I could totally see Violet for a girl or Silas for a boy with your last name ❤
Boy:
Nicholas (Nick)
Emerson
Morris
Merrick
Girl:
Geraldine (Gerry)
Beatrix (Bea)
Gertrude (Gerdie or Trudy)
Moira
Angelica (Angie)
In my culture it's actually very common (even expected) to name a baby after older family members, especially a grandparent. Found it kind of funny you want to avoid that but totally get it :) I also found boy names to be harder when we were naming our boy. Girl names are so much easier! My suggestions for boy: Samuel, Matthew, Nikola/Nicola (common for a boy in Bulgaria, love that name!); for girl - Julia, Joanna, Mila, Leah, Evelyn. Can't way to see baby and what name you picked!
I second Evelyn. Then her nickname could be Eve or Evie.
My son is named Justus (meaning just/upright) and my daughter is named Sonnet (a little song/poem). Both are considered “unique” names but the Latin/Italian origins make them timeless in my eyes❤️
sonnet is such a pretty name
We have very similar baby name, many of these names have been on our list over the years. We have a Vincent, a Henry and a Guinevere (called Gwennie). Close contenders over the years have also been Vivienne, Cecelia, Violet, Roderick, Brooks and Cedric. Best of luck with choosing a name ❤
I’ll share my sons name, Pierce 💚, because we wanted something uncommon but still recognizable given that our family names are very difficult.
Both sides of our family were very receptive of this too which was so nice to have it become loved by all
Love it! Also quite unisex
Love the name Francis for a boy! Classic name but feels modern too. Also Maeve for a girl!
My brother in law’s name is Vinson…it’s a family name and he goes by Vinson. I believe it means “son of Vincent”. I can see where Vincent would be a little much, but Vinson may be just different and unique enough to be accepted by your hubby. ☺️ I am 27 weeks with our 4th girl and the name game is a real struggle for us at this point. Lol!
