Hi Swistle!<\/p>\n

Nine years ago you helped me name my fourth little boy<\/a>! That’s right, all four kids are boys!<\/p>\n

My husband and I love having a big family. I am able to homeschool our boys and my husband works from home. We recently purchased a home with more property and we are loving this stage of life. Now we would like to add another babe! My husband had a vasectomy too long ago to be reversed so we have undergone IVF. I am now 18 weeks along with our baby girl!<\/p>\n

Here is the kicker, we have more female embryos, and God willing, we would like to give this a little girl a sister and a sibling closer to her age. My favorite name is Freya Florence, but we would like to save that for the youngest sister.<\/p>\n

This little girl, we would like her namesake to honor her Great-Grandmother Marys’ name who passed away this year. Baby girl is due the same week as Grandma Mary\u2019s birthday!<\/p>\n

Other children names (last name rhymes with truck):<\/p>\n

Logan Clark
\nAbram Bradley (Abe)
\nHenry Samuel
\nMiles Thomas
\n***** Mary
\nFreya Florence (God willing)<\/p>\n

Ideas:<\/p>\n

Ava Mary (lovely, but overly popular and too close to brother \u201cAbe\u201d)<\/p>\n

Edith Mary (love the sound of Edie\/Edee for a nick name but don\u2019t love how the spelling looks like Eddy).<\/p>\n

Bonus but not necessary: Swistle noticed that all my children have a 5 letter first name and that would be true again with Freya. Any suggestions that would keep with the five letter trend with this little girl?<\/p>\n

Thanks to Swistle and community!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is an interesting task. If Freya were already with us, I would be looking for a name that coordinated more with Freya than with the other names, since I don’t mind so much if the brother names don’t coordinate with the sister names, but I do like all the brothers to coordinate and all the sisters to coordinate. But Freya is POSSIBLE FUTURE Freya. And the boys are here now. So I also want to make sure that the sister name goes nicely in this sibling group as it is.<\/p>\n

It is striking me as fun rather than oppressive\/restrictive to find another five-letter name, so I am going to play it as that game (which is not to say that we should not all feel free to suggest non-five-letter names if we think of them). If you find yourself struggling, though, it’s one of the very first restrictions I’d suggest dropping. “How many letters do my siblings’ names have?” is such a rare topic of conversation, and such a rare area for competition or hard feelings.<\/p>\n

I’ve recently been informed that Nordic names have become popular with white supremacist groups. I mention this because WITHOUT that information, I might have been inclined to flip straight to the Nordic section of The Baby Name Wizard<\/a> to look for names to coordinate beautifully with Freya; but WITH that information, I am more inclined to look for something that coordinates without being specifically Nordic, to avoid giving the impression that that was the theme I was now going for. But…my ear is not attuned to Nordic names, so it is very likely I wouldn’t NOTICE two Nordic names in a row to know that they were Nordic; and also, there are many names that are used in multiple cultures (Greta and Clara, for example, show up on multiple lists, including the Nordic one). I mention it just to make you aware of it in case, like me, you were NOT aware of it but would certainly want to be keeping it in mind.<\/p>\n

Logan, Abram, Henry, Miles, _____, and Freya:<\/p>\n

Celia
\nDarcy
\nDelia
\nElena
\nEliza (maybe too many shared sounds with Miles)
\nEmlyn
\nGemma
\nGreta
\nHazel
\nLiana
\nLucia
\nLydia
\nLynna
\nMargo
\nNadia
\nPearl
\nSasha
\nSonia
\nTalia
\nTessa
\nViola
\nWilla<\/p>\n

As I was making the list, I was disinclined to add M names, because of it being the next name in line after Miles. But the way you love Freya Florence makes me wonder if you might like alliteration for this baby as well:<\/p>\n

Mabel Mary (probably too much -abe- with Abram\/Abe)
\nMacey Mary
\nMadeline Mary
\nMaeve Mary
\nMalina Mary
\nMargaret Mary
\nMarilla Mary
\nMatilda Mary
\nMelinda Mary
\nMillicent Mary
\nMinerva Mary
\nMiranda Mary<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
