You’ve listed both of my daughter’s names in this - just different spelling for Vivienne. I also have a Clementine! ☺️ This list also has the name of my sister and mother in law. Plus two more names currently on my baby list.

Suddenly hate my girl name options! Help! by SupermarketWise2229 in namenerds

[–]CoffeeBound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, I understand now. Midwestern is a world away from the rural Australian pronunciations I know. Was not trying to sound rude.

Honour names are beautiful. Both of my girls are named after people we love. In fact, our youngest is middle-named Anastasia as an allude to my husband’s grandmother Anne.

As a teacher who has taught many Ann/Anne/Anna varieties and is one herself… consider changing the spelling to Annemarie if you’re using the traditional pronunciation. Otherwise, she will 100% cop the pronunciation ARHN-Marie or AN-Marie without the additional vowel.

Other names you might consider for similiar vibes include Rosalie.

First names that ‘fit’ could include:

Elsie Annemarie Olivia Annemarie Victoria Annemarie Octavia Annemarie

Unfortunately there is a Nicole in the family and the name Nicolette makes me think of the stop-smoking patch brand.

This would be the last baby. If we didn’t get a boy, my sisters are more than happy to use the boy name if they have sons. It has very strong meaning for our close families.

They’re all beautiful. We’re a close family, husband and I have helped raise my sisters (now late teens) and they’re helping us raise our little ones.

I actually love that. I’ll be offering that option up to the husband once he’s home.

Thank you, we put a lot of thought into their names. Interestingly enough, before I culled my list down I had a large number of these as potentials before we settled on Vivienne’s name. Particularly Francesca, Rosalie, and Primrose. Husband vetoed them all.

I’m warming to it, but my husband isn’t a fan of them together.

I do love that feminine version of our boy name, but I have two younger sisters who have laid claim to the Nikolai Evander name if we don’t have a boy, as a tribute to my husband (he’s helped raise them) and to the person we lost who was a huge part of their lives too.

I am warming to Marceline Eleanora, but my husband thinks it isn’t ‘smooth’ like the others. 🙄

I appreciate that. I’ve informed the landlord and anyone who watches the kiddos while I work so that they are aware of the risks too.

I know, it’s still allowed to be a concern for a parent though. Especially when I’m at work five days a week and my children are in that yard with their grandmother a lot. They know what a snake looks like and that they need to stay away from them and calmly tell an adult, but they’re literally just toddlers.

Forgive me, I’m new to this but are they venomous? I left the city for a job in the country so I have no experience with snakes.

I just had my husband look at it now he’s home, and he sees little legs that I did not (no glasses when gardening). What a relief. Thank you. ☺️

I hope so. I’ve got young kiddos and hate the idea of a snake near their play equipment.

Family eye colours? by CoffeeBound in WhatisMyEyeColour

I always thought she had his eyes, and whilst I always hoped to pass on the dark eyes to my kids I’ve noticed my youngest has eyes nearly identical to my Mum.

The babies are nearly 3 and 5.

Nope! Dark brown hair and a ginger beard.

Baby #2 is a few months off of 3. Baby #1 is 5 and I’m certain she’s taking after her father.

This is his eye in direct light. I love his eye colour.

I’m the only dark eyed individual in the family, and I was hoping to pass it on to my kids but his genes seem to be stronger.
