Swistle,<\/p>\n

HELP! We are pregnant with surprise baby #3 (definitely our last). We always wait until the birth to find out the gender of our babes and this one will be no different. We have two girls, Emmalynn Kaye (age 5) and Luella Jo (age 1.5). We want to find a name that we LOVE LOVE LOVE just like we did with our girls. Unfortunately, nothing is giving me those feelings thus far. Neither of the girls names are nod to family members, just names that we heard somewhere along the way and decided fit into our family. We tend to go toward classic \/ unique names as you’ll see by the lists below. Here are the lists my husband and I have come up with – names we like, but don’t LOVE…at least not yet:<\/p>\n

Boys
\nSmith
\nClark
\nReid
\nHarrison (likely a middle name candidate vs. a first name candidate)<\/p>\n

Girls
\nHallen
\nColette<\/p>\n

Please help us find some names we love for this baby due in late April \/ early May.<\/p>\n

Thanks,
\nKARA<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From the boy-name list, I like Clark Rogers and Harrison Rogers (if it is in the running as a first name). Reid Rogers wasn’t originally one of my favorites but is growing on me considerably as I work on the post; I think it’s only that I don’t personally tend to lean toward alliteration (though with time I find myself leaning more), and also it makes me think (not in a negative way) of Roy Rogers. Something about Smith Rogers is not quite right to my ear when I say it—not at a level where I’d cross it off the list, just at a level where I prefer other candidates.<\/p>\n

More names that seem to me to be similar\/adjacent to those on your list:<\/p>\n

Cary Rogers; Emmalynn, Luella, and Cary
\nDean Rogers; Emmalynn, Luella, and Dean
\nEverett Rogers; Emmalynn, Luella, and Everett
\nGrant Rogers; Emmalynn, Luella, and Grant
\nHank Rogers; Emmalynn, Luella, and Hank
\nHeath Rogers; Emmalynn, Luella, and Heath
\nLee Rogers; Emmalynn, Luella, and Lee
\nMerritt Rogers; Emmalynn, Luella, and Merritt
\nNash Rogers; Emmalynn, Luella, and Nash
\nNolan Rogers; Emmalynn, Luella, and Nolan
\nPerry Rogers; Emmalynn, Luella, and Perry
\nRussell Rogers; Emmalynn, Luella, and Russell
\nVance Rogers; Emmalynn, Luella, and Vance
\nWade Rogers; Emmalynn, Luella, and Wade
\nWarren Rogers; Emmalynn, Luella, and Warren<\/p>\n

I am a little inclined, just for fun, toward the ones that give you another set of double letters: Everett, Lee, Merritt, Perry, Russell, Warren. Lee may be too close to Luella, Everett may be too close to Emmalynn, but I left them on the list in part because (1) “too close” is subjective, and (2) the double letters.<\/p>\n

For a girl, I’d be inclined toward another compound name: Emma + Lynn, Lu + Ella, and now _____ + _____, though I kept running into combinations that were too close (Annabel, where -bel seems too similar to -ella; Evalina, where the E_al_n_ seems too similar to Emmalynn), so I’ve included non-compound names as well. Some possibilities:<\/p>\n

Adelaide Rogers; Emmalynn, Luella, and Adelaide
\nAngelica Rogers; Emmalynn, Luella, and Angelica
\nAnnalise Rogers; Emmalynn, Luella, and Annalise
\nBernadette Rogers; Emmalynn, Luella, and Bernadette
\nBonnie Rogers; Emmalynn, Luella, and Bonnie
\nClarissa Rogers; Emmalynn, Luella, and Clarissa
\nCoralie Rogers; Emmalynn, Luella, and Coralie
\nDaisy Rogers; Emmalynn, Luella, and Daisy
\nDelilah Rogers; Emmalynn, Luella, and Delilah
\nGemma Rogers; Emmalynn, Luella, and Gemma
\nGeorgia Rogers; Emmalynn, Luella, and Georgia
\nHazel Rogers; Emmalynn, Luella, and Hazel
\nJoanna Rogers; Emmalynn, Luella, and Joanna
\nJuliette Rogers; Emmalynn, Luella, and Juliette
\nMarianna Rogers; Emmalynn, Luella, and Marianna
\nPearl Rogers; Emmalynn, Luella, and Pearl
\nRosalie Rogers; Emmalynn, Luella, and Rosalie
\nRosemary Rogers; Emmalynn, Luella, and Rosemary
\nRuby Rogers; Emmalynn, Luella, and Ruby
\nSally Rogers; Emmalynn, Luella, and Sally
\nShirley Rogers; Emmalynn, Luella, and Shirley
\nSusannah Rogers; Emmalynn, Luella, and Susannah
\nSuzette Rogers; Emmalynn, Luella, and Suzette
\nVioletta Rogers; Emmalynn, Luella, and Violetta<\/p>\n

Some of those might cross the line into TOO alliterative. Georgia, for example: is Georgia Rogers too much R and G? or JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT? Ginger Rogers carried it off, and she had the -er\/-er thing as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
