Not actively TTC just yet, but DH and I have been having fun coming up with different names, as with DD we didn't decide on Zoe until an hour or so after she was born. So, feel free to rate our names! Obviously this is just for fun, and if we truly love a name we'll choose it anyway, but I like hearing other's opinions and it's good to have an outside view. Surname Moore. Some names don't have first & middle just because we haven't found anything we like.

Girls:
- Penelope Rose (current top name)
- Lilia Eden (DD's original name)
- Arabella Sue (middle name debatable / grandmother's middle name)
- Brielle Violet
- Cadence Marie
- Keira Lynn (middle name debatable)

Boys:
- Atticus Kent
- Camden James
- Carter
- Colton
- Felix
- Luca
- Ryker
- Silas Camden (Camden is grandfather's middle name)
- Xander

I like Penelope Rose.

Have you thought of Arabella Jane, seeing as you aren't sure of Sue?

I'm terrible at choosing boys names, but I like Luca. Not sure what you would put in between, maybe James?

 

[Caitie44]

Not too keen on Jane, Sue was used as it's my grandmother's middle name. Thank you!

 

[wannabemomy37]

My fave from your list would be Keira Lynn - Keira & Zoe!!
Cadence and Brielle are also lovely. I'm starting to really like Eden. The others just aren't my style, but there is nothing wrong with any of them!

I like Carter, Felix, Luca and Xander/Zander with Zoe, but these also aren't my type of names. Ryker is actually pretty awesome too

 

[RubyRainbows]

I absolutely love your girl's name list - awesome choices!!!

Order of preference:

Violet Brielle (love this combo!) - 10
Lilia Eden - 10
Arabella Rose - 10
Brielle Violet - 9
Cadence Rose - 8
Keira Rose - 8
Penelope Rose - 8


From your boy's list I love Camden James & Xander! Not a fan of any of the others. I think it's awesome that your grandfather's middle name was Camden - I would def use it!

Girls:
- Penelope Rose - very sweet but Rose is so over used as a middle name!
- Lilia Eden (DD's original name) - Like Lilia but not with Eden.

- Brielle Violet - Like this. Violet is my favourite of your middle names.
- Cadence Marie - Hate it.

Love Lilia Eden, beautiful name!!

If I'm honest not keen on the boys names but then I am struggling to find more than one name I like for my own son so wouldn't take my opinion seriously. If I had to pick one it would be Camden James. I love the name James but Camden would just make me think of Camden Street Market in London xx

 

[MollyPerry]

I like Brielle Violet for the girl and Colton for the boy.

 

[MUMOF5]

Lillia Eden and Violet I love, from your boys list I really like Camden

 

[Caitie44]

Thank you ladies! I know a lot of our names (especially the boys) are a hit or miss. I'm a little unsure because they're definitely a little unusual, but I love them regardless!

As for Rose, I know it's a very common middle name - which definitely puts me off from it a bit. However it was my DF's great-grandmother's name, and my great-grandmother's name as well, so it has sentimental value. We might change it to something similar, such as Rosalie or Rosemary, just to make a little different. As of right now Penelope Rose is our favorite name, but we're still open-minded!

 

[sheldonsmommy]

Cadence Moore is a beautiful name! I don't love Marie in there, but I have a thing about alliterations in names (the M repeating in this case).

Atticus is such a strong name, I love it but not liking the middle name there, not sure why? If I have another child that is a boy, this name is a top contender

 

[vocado]

Girl
- Cadence Marie
Boys:
- Camden James

 

[EmyDra]

Girls:
- Penelope Rose
Beautiful. I think you should use Rose, it has value to you so doesn't matter that it's used a lot. Plus it sounds so good with most names

- Lilia Eden
I think this only works well if you have a one syllable surname. Lily Eden is nicer although much more common, also Ivy Eden

- Arabella Sue
Sounds a bit like a italian dish.

- Brielle Violet
Absolutely beautiful

- Cadence Marie
This works, lovely name.

- Keira Lynn
Sounds a bit like 'Carolyn' when said together but still nice.

Boys:
- Atticus Kent
Have a friend with an Atticus and it's a wonderful, versatile name and Atti is an adorable nickname
- Camden James
Camden is a fab name, really like this one. James is a great middle name.
- Carter
Not too fussed on carter
- Colton
Quite nice and different
- Felix
Lovely, Felix James is really nice.
- Luca
Not a string opinion either way
- Ryker
Bit too overtly masculine for my tastes
- Silas Camden
Obviously I'm a bit if a Silas fanatic ;-) love my eldest's name.
- Xander
LOVE Xander, Camder Xander would be cool

 

[hopeandpray]

- Penelope Rose - I love this
- Lilia Eden - Love this too
- Arabella Sue I don't like Sue, I love Arabella
- Brielle Violet - I love Violet but not Brielle
- Cadence Marie - Not a fan of Cadence
- Keira Lynn (middle name debatable) - I prefer Ciara

Boys:
- Atticus Kent - Seems a bit pretentious
- Camden James - A place not a name
- Carter - A surname more than a first name
- Colton - A bit southern for me
- Felix - I consider this a cat's name
- Luca - Nice name
- Ryker - Bit overly trendy
- Silas Camden (Camden is grandfather's middle name) Lovely
- Xander - Not my personal taste but a fine name

 

[Caitie44]

Thanks! Most of the middle names I kinda just threw on the first names we liked. We never really discussed the first / middle combos much, except for Penelope Rose, Lilia Eden, and Atticus Kent. =) So all the middle names are totally interchangeable!

 

[Caitie44]

Cadence Moore is a beautiful name! I don't love Marie in there, but I have a thing about alliterations in names (the M repeating in this case).

Atticus is such a strong name, I love it but not liking the middle name there, not sure why? If I have another child that is a boy, this name is a top contender

Oh I know how you feel about the alliteration - my top pick last pregnancy was Madelyn for the longest time, and the two Ms just kept me off it. Plus all of DH's family has alliterative names - almost his entire family is M--- Moore. Drives me bonkers ha.

I love Penelope! lovely. But I'm not a fan of Rose as a middle name I'm afraid.. way too overused.

Not sure about the boys names... I think probably because they are quite American sounding so not used to hearing names like that! Maybe Camden my fave.
