Help us choose a name!

Hi! My sister-in-law is well into her second trimester, and she and her husband asks friends and family to help choose a name. Here are some details:

Mom: Rose
Loves flowers and is into gardening
Is sporty
loves violet colors

Dad: Nate
Loves snow and winter, and nature trips
certified bookworm
loves the color white

Any ideas?

 

What about:

Eira Rose - the Welsh name for “snow” for girls

Olwen - cute and unusual name means “white footprint” for boys

Haha. A bit difficult for that one

 

Rosalie is a pretty and very sweet name I've always wanted for a name
For a baby boy... Nathaniel?

 

Boy - Jonathan or Xavier
Girl - Lily or Violet (lol!)

anyway, advanced congratulations to your sister-in-law! hopefully she has a safe and successful journey.

 

I always loved the name Lucy! and if ever it turns out to be a boy, Luke would be a great name as well!

Congrats, @MrHandy !

 

Maybe they can choose who will name the child depending on the gender? Like if it's a girl, the mom chooses the name and if it's a boy, the dad chooses the name.

I would go for names like Scarlet for a girl and Noah for a boy. However it seems they both like nature and garden so we can think of something that connects with nature and garden - perhaps, flower names for girls like Lily and something from a favorite sports star of the mom like David (Beckham) something like that.

 

For a girl: why not Violet or Rosa/ Rosanna?
And a bookworm dad who likes white might have tendencies towards the name Gandalf (the White). So let's save the boy from a lifetime of pain and maybe suggest Aspen or Jon (Snow).

 

A girl: Ayana (which means beautiful flower) or Flora

Boy: Schuyler ( which translates to scholar)

 

Girl: something unexpected like Lennox (the girl heroine from A Secret Garden is named Mary Lennox)

Boy: i keep thinking Calvin, after the comic strip Calvin and Hobbes. He loves nature and snow and is the epitome of boyhood.

 

Wow! Thank you for the suggestions! They are all great and I'll let her know for sure
She has not yet done the gender reveal so I have no idea what gender it will be

 

I have to agree, lovely flower (or plant) names are a good idea since they both love nature. There are some ancient gardens that have great names (sorry I forgot!) that they can also use

 

What about Primrose? We have them in our yard during the winter and they are lovely against the white snow

 

I love this! We have the Chinese primrose, and they give our white everything snowed-down house some life. What a lovely and perfect name for them too
