[I’m out of town for a few days but don’t want to fall EVEN FARTHER behind, so I’m leaving some name questions on auto-post!]<\/p>\n

I\u2019m writing on behalf of my next door neighbor, who is pregnant and still without a name. We started talking about names today (because I love them and jump at any chance to talk about them). They don\u2019t really have any ideas about names outside of the top 10 type of names that immediately come to mind, but they\u2019re looking to find some less common names, so I thought you could help.<\/p>\n
They currently have a one year old boy named Darrin Dennis (Dennis after family), and they don\u2019t know the sex of the new baby, so both gender names would be good.<\/p>\n
In our discussion today, her husband threw out names like Jennifer and Nicole \u2013 top ten from when he was growing up, and the only names it seemed he could come up with. They both liked names with the feel of Sophie or Emma, but she wants names like that but that are not so popular. She also really liked the names Jamie and Breanna. We didn\u2019t discuss boys names, but I think they have generally the same feel for only being able to think of popular names but wanting something less known.<\/p>\n
I really want to give them some less popular but equally great options because I am the biggest supporter of non \u2018trendeigh\u2019 names.<\/p>\n
Oh, and last things\u2026 since Darrin was named after the dad\u2019s family, she says she would like to try to name the next baby, boy or girl, after her mother. Her mother\u2019s name is Marcela Susana, so she\u2019s not sure how she could make such a Spanish name work with the sorts of names she likes. But she\u2019s open to variations of the name \u2013 it doesn\u2019t need to be exactly the name. And lastly, they want the name to be at least two syllables to sound better with their last name: Axt.<\/p>\n
Thank you so much!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
