My first choice right now if I’m having a girl is Rosemary. Unfortunately, Erik has yet to get over his Rose hangup, so my second choice is Beatrix. I adore Beatrix. I really like Beatrice too, but Beatrix just leaves me so happy to say. I’m trying to nail down my favorite Beatrix combo, but that’s so hard to do! I don’t know if a name with no honoring is the best way to go, or with one honoring name, or with all honoring!
My most perfect Beatrix combo is Beatrix Annora Maud. For some reason, one day all three names just kind of fell into place, and just clicked. I think it’s perfect, and I wouldn’t change anything about it. The problem, is that it doesn’t really honor anyone. Yes, the Ann in Annora honors my grandmother Leona Anne, but it’s not enough honoring for me, we weren’t very close. (She passed away when I was 7, and had extremely advanced stages of Alzheimers from the time I was 4 on) and the Maud in a way honors my father, who wanted to name me Matilda, but got I really just love all three names, and they all complement each other fantastically.
The other combos I love just because of how they speak to me are:
- Beatrix Marina Violet
- Beatrix Helen Ophélie
- Beatrix Lily Scarlet (not extremely happy with Scarlet in this combo, but can’t find the perfect complement to Beatrix Lily…any help?)
The semi-honoring combos I have are: (Virginia is a very important honoring name)
- Beatrix Mary Virginia-I just really love Mary, and it feels so classy and pure in this combo
- Beatrix Lucy Virginia-I really love Lucy, but not sure if it’s completely usuable for me. I also really like Beatrix Lucélie Virginia.
- Beatrix Fable Virginia-this would make my mom the happiest
- Beatrix Rosemary Jean-I think Jean is honoring Erik’s grandmother since it’s her middle name, and I adore Rosemary…almost would feel bad making Rosemary a middle though (just in case Erik got over his hangup and allowed Rosemary for a future daughter)
The all-honoring combo I have is Beatrix Helen Virginia, my original.
So what do you think? Any suggestions? Which is you’re favorite? Thanks!

Got great news!!!♥♥♥
Yay!♥
In honor of the positive, I’ll go through my favorites I’ve been working on.
For a boy, it’s between Wynn(of course), an August name (for Gus), a Perry name (Percival and Perrin are in the lead), and Malcolm. Maybe Søren or Cosmo. We also like Alasdair, Darcy, Oskar, Elliot, and Linus. Most likely a boy will be named Wynn Alexander Clint. (It’s like 75% likely).
A girl however we have two combos we really love, and couldn’t choose between. We’ll just have to wait and see what she would look like I guess. They are Beatrix Annora Maud and Fable Cornelia Bluebird. Though the Fable combo could change. Here is my poll on Fable combos: http://www.babynames.com/namelist/9383878
Other girl names we like are: Rosemary (I love, he doesn’t), Petronel, Pomeline, Pandora, Pippa, Esmée, Nola, and Cecily (I like, he doesn’t), and Domino.
Some random combos I made while playing with names:
Rosemary Helen Valentine
Petronel Elva Primrose
Pippa Virginia Jean
Domino Luella Elspeth
Pandora Helen November
Cecily Elora Jane
Pomeline Iris Roux
Esmée Mathilda Ruby
Well I’ll go talk to everyone later! ♥

)

It’s hard to do, if I have to let Erik have a say!
Here are some preliminary ideas:
Beatrix Tara Rosemary, Petronel Leona Jean, Domino Valentine Elizabeth
Beatrix Elizabeth Jean, Petronel Leona Valentine, and Rosemary Tara Domino
Erik wants Domino as a first, I want Rosemary…middle names are family names. Valentine/Valentina for my mother, Leona for my grandmother, Elizabeth and Jean for my grandmother-in-law. Other honoring names I could use, Virginia for my mother-in-law, Catharine for my favorite aunt, Anne for my grandmother Leona, Delfina for my other grandmother, Elva for the same grandmother-in-law that Elizabeth and Jean honor (Yeah she’s that cool), and Abigail/Gail for another grandmother of mine named Gail. (Also Erik said he loves Nola now…it means New Orleans Louisiana, his beloved hometown)
Also here are some random combos I got him to say weren’t terrible, anything stand out to you? Any flipping or switching? (some of these are guilty pleasure names…)
Mary Inez
Tullia Anne
Opal Delfina
Ottilie Esmé
Wilhelmina November
Sunny Louisa
Sunny Marigold
Adah Rosalie
Inez Edmé (Any better mn suggestions for Inez (EYE-nez)?
Frances Daffodil
Susannah Marigold
Willa Esmé
Bonnie Susannah
Maud Eliza
Beatrix Nola
Henrietta Ruby
And for giggles, here are some random boy combos I made, though our boy names are pretty set in stone…(Our top three are probably Wynn Alexander Clint, Cosmo Eugene Thomas, and Augustin/Percival Victor Malcolm.) Alexander is for Erik and his father, grandfather, etc. Clint is for my deceased brother, Eugene is my grandfather’s and Erik’s grandfather’s middle name, Thomas and Victor is for my deceased father.
These combos are not nearly as exciting to me as the girl ones…maybe because I used a couple guilty pleasures for those!
Malcolm Ivan
Percival Linus
Thomas Augustin
Oskar Darcy
Oliver Ezra
William Nigel
Simon Laurence
Augustin Richard
Ivan Edmund
Blair Richard
Felix Darcy
Darcy Edward
Simon Magnus
Wynn Edward
Blair Simon
Magnus Elliot
Blair Nigel
Barney Thomas
Hamish Ragnar
So what do you think? Any great/horrible ones? Thanks for stopping by!
