The Social Security Administration<\/a>), but I don’t worry about it getting TOO-too popular. Even if it DOES get very popular, it would be a classic, long-rooted, traditional boy name that was experiencing one of many recurring times in the sun—not a trendy, flash-in-the-pan name. And I think Fox is cute with it.<\/p>\nLet’s turn our attention to Baby B. First, let’s say Baby B is a girl. Well….pretty much ALL your girl names sound good with Henry! Kate is a fine name just as it is, if you don’t like any of the names it’s a traditional nickname for.<\/p>\n
Henry and Kate
Henry and Grace
Henry and Stella
Henry and Julia
Henry and Sylvia (perhaps your husband would prefer Silvia?)
Henry and Elizabeth<\/p>\n
All good. With your surname, I think the best options are Kate Woolener, Grace Woolener, and Elizabeth Woolener. Stella Woolener, Julia Woolener, and Sylvia Woolener are harder to wrap the mouth around.<\/p>\n
Middle names. The one-syllable first names Kate and Grace go best with the longer middle names; I think both are best with Louise, but I like the family connection to the name Susannah so would probably choose that. The longer name Elizabeth is good with the shorter middle names; I like any of them, but my favorites are Jane and Claire. With Stella and Julia, I like Mae. With Sylvia, I like Claire.<\/p>\n
I don’t even WANT to mention this, but feel duty-bound to say that the middle name “Claire” CAN lead to The Eclair Problem with first names that end in A. Anna Claire, for example, turns into An Eclair. Even Sylvia Claire, which I have just recommended, could be heard as Silvie Eclair. Still! I would not let that stop me! Eclairs are delicious, and small children are more familiar with Twinkies.<\/p>\n
Kate Susannah Woolener (KSW)
Grace Susannah Woolener (GSW)
Elizabeth Jane Woolener (EJW)
Elizabeth Claire Woolener (ECW)
Stella Mae Woolener (SMW)
Julia Mae Woolener (JMW)
Sylvia Claire Woolener (or Silvia Claire Woolener) (SCW)<\/p>\n
Now let’s say Baby B is a boy. With the name Henry, my favorites from your list are William and Simon: Henry and William, Henry and Simon. Because you’re going with a fun middle name for Henry, I’d choose something fun and slightly matchy for the other boy: I like Finn. Henry Fox and William Finn. Henry Fox and Simon Finn. Hm, that was a little quicker than the girl section, wasn’t it!<\/p>\n
William Finn Woolener (WFW)
Simon Finn Woolener (SFW)<\/p>\n
But I’m just choosing names from lists and putting them together how I<\/span> like them. Now you guys can take a turn: look at the lists and put together a girl name! put together a boy name!
