[Games] Re: Millie & Ariel Eden
The names we completely agree on are Andrew (for a middle name), Alexandra, Anna, and Elena. This should be interesting then :P.Boys' names: Alexander, Arthur, Elijah, Evan, Finn, Isaac, Roman, Rudolph, Sebastian, Theodore, VincentI don't like Weston so much, but what about Wesley?
What nicknames do you like for each of the names?Girls' names: Alexandra, Alyssa, Anna, Bella, Caroline, Edith (middle name), Elena, Guinevere, Kate, Lillian, Louise, Lucia, Rose, RubyHow do you feel about a longer version of Bella, Kate, and maybe Rose?
How do you pronounce Lucia? I prefer the Loo-see-a pronunciation
How do you pronounce Elena? What nicknames do you like for it?
What nicknames do you like for Alexandra?Boys' MNs: George, Henry, James, Andrew
Girls' MNs: Mary, VivienneHave you thought of any other ideas to add? Maybe we should try to nymblr our names together for suggestions! :D

I like Weston for the nickname West, so I'm not a fan of Wesley but I could compromise to Westley?
I love the nickname Lex for Alexander, Rudy for Rudolph and Vince for Vincent, I'm not fussed about nicknames for the others.I don't mind a longer version of Bella but I'd prefer Kate and Rose to stick as they are. I also pronounce Lucia as LOO-see-a, it is the best sounding pronunciation in my opinion! :)
I pronounce Elena as eh-LAYH-nah and I like Lena (LAYH-nah) as a nickname.
For Alexandra I am torn between Ally and Lexie for my favourite nickname.I've had a quick look at your list too and I like Sophia - but only spelt like this - and I'm coming around to Sophie but I prefer Sophia.Are there any long forms of Max that you like? I sort of like Maxfield and Maxence in GP kind of ways but find that Max on it's own doesn't appeal to me.
I nymblered some of our names and these are the ones that I got like I like:
Leah
Nina
Elizabeth
Noah
CalebWhat do you think? :)

Are there any other names on my list that you like? Other than Sophia and Max?I don't care for Westley that much. It looks a wee bit odd.I like your pronunciation of Elena. I like Lena and Lainie (Lanie? Laney?) too.For Alexandra, I like Allie/Ally, Lexi, and Sasha (which is a rather common Russian nickname for the name). I like either spelling of Allie, but prefer Lexi without the E on the end for whatever reason. Lex or Andy for Alexander is good.For Max, I like Maximilian and sometimes I live on the wild side and stretch to get it from Matthew.Leah and Nina are alright to me from that list

I can stretch to liking Eden "Edie", Fiona, and Natalie at a push but I prefer Natasha.
Elena "Lainie" would be really cute!
I don't mind the spelling of Lexi that much, Allie looks better than Ally now I see them together. I could deal with Sasha as a name in it's own right instead of a nickname for Alexandra.
I can't see Max coming from Matthew and I wouldn't feel comfortable stretching to that! Sorry :)Are we making any progress? Haha.

I don't see us using Elena and Alexandra/Alexander together because the beginnings of them are very similar. Personally, I think we should go with Elena, but I could be persuaded into using Alexandra/Alexander instead.Our list thus far (I narrowed down my opinions on your names to make it a wee bit smaller)GIRLS
Millie: Lucia, Kate, Ruby, Caroline, Isobel/Isabella (Bella)
AE: Sophia, Eden, Fiona, Natalie
Both: Elena*, Anna*, AlexandraI think we should try to -- in our combos -- get one name from each of our lists (i.e. Lucia Eden, Sophia Kate, Caroline Natalie, Fiona Ruby). My favorite name from your list (excluding the ones we both had) would have to be Lucia. I really do love Elena and Anna from our jointed list. From my list, I'm not super attached to any of the names at the moment but I do prefer Natalie (nicknamed Tali perhaps, or Nat/ty) to Natasha.We need to work on boy names as well as add to this list if possible

Lucia Eden sounds really good, could nickname her "Luce" or keep it as Lucia.
I think Elena also need a short middle name, Elena Kate? Or are there any short names you would like in the middle?
Anna is pretty great, I love it too, could be Anna Isobel? Or Anna Sophia?
I could be persuaded to Use Natalie "Tali", that's really quite cute!I think we could get away with using Alexander and Elena because I don't think they sound that similar plus they are on different genders. Alexander Andrew as a combo? Other than that our taste in boys names is rather different!

Lucia Eden and Elena Kate are both wonderful. I like Luce and Lucy and maybe even Cia as nicknames.Anna Isobel is good. I like Anna Sophia too, but it remind me a little too much of AnnaSophia Robb.What about Natalie "Tali" Caroline?For boy names, I realize that I don't like Alexander at the front all that much... What about Isaac Alexander and Something Else Andrew? Maximilian Andrew? I think our girl list is good enough. We don't need the same number of boys and girls combosGirls Names
