[Opinions] Re: Names we mourn + final names for our twins Cora + Helena
in reply to a message by Briz
First of all: I love the names you ended up going with :)
Secondly: What a great idea for a topic!
Jacob: I would like a second child and I love the name Jacob and I always have. But it’s the name of my sister-in-law’s brother and due to them not having contact anymore (she comes from a very toxic family), using Jacob would just be super inappropriate. Ariel: I LOVE it! It’s so so pretty. But it’s the name my ex and I had picked out if we ever had a girl (Ariel Catalina). I just can’t make myself use it since I eventually ended up with my husband instead. Rakel, Renée and Gerd: I fell in love with them as a little girl. I’d still use them in a heartbeat. My husband doesn’t like them.Elliot: I think it’s lovely and I like how it looks and sounds in combination with our daughter’s name, Elisabeth. But my husband hates the sound of Elliot.Rose/Rosalie, Ellie, Leonora, Franka, Victoria, Cora, Arendse: Basically, I can’t use all of these and they’re my top names, if we ever have another girl. So even if I get to use one of these or maybe two, I’ll be mourning the rest.Mother of Elisabeth Frida

ElliotI love Elliot too! Ever since E.T. Given the chance, I would’ve gone with the Eliot spelling I think after T.S. Eliot.There are just too many beautiful names. Simonetta after the woman who modeled for Birth of Venus is another favorite that comes to mind.
