Here's the rules...
- We're still not telling if it's a boy or a girl so we will take suggestions for both genders.
- If it's a girl, the middle name will be Lucille. If it's a boy, the middle name will be Reed.
- Our last name is Gordon (if you didn't know that...obviously, it's got to sound good with the last name).
- If it's a girl, we want the name to be eclectic, free-spirited, artistic, but nothing too out of the ordinary either. If it's a boy, we want the name to be more formal, CEO-like, but not really necessarily traditional either.
- We will not be shortening any names into nicknames. So if it's an Anthony, the name is Anthony not Tony; if it's a Lauren we will not be calling her Lori.
I really dislike names that are too creative. I want to have heard of it before. I love that when I named my son kind of an "old" name, I'd have little old ladies tell me that it was their dad's name or their uncle's name or their brother's name. I also loved that it was the right mix of something that would fit a baby boy and a grown man. Same with girls names (and how I named my daughter). Take a look at the name lists from the early 1900s - there are a lot of good solid names there and maybe you'll find one where there won't be five children with the same name in your kid's KG class.
ReplyDeleteFormal? CEO-like?
ReplyDeleteHmm... I can't help but think that "Jameson" would be a pretty awesome name.
Everyone I know named Jameson is pretty awesome. Just saying.
Long-time lurker here, but I love picking baby names!
ReplyDeleteWhat about Marcus Reed Gordon or Ansley Lucille Gordon?
Good luck!
I knew someone named Tracy Tracy once. Gordon for a boy? JK.
ReplyDeleteGirl...Avery or Paige
Boy....Logan (or maybe not with Gordon) Myles. Samuel.
Andrew for a boy.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea for a girl. Wait How about Gillian, (pronounced Jillian).
Naming our son took lots longer than I thought.
My husband and I each wrote down a list of our favorite names , then narrowed the potential names to the ones we had in common. It was tough!!! That was just for the first name. For the middle name we went with Cooper because we love the Mini Cooper cars!
I will throw my two unused names into the ring..If you can figure out, I may or may not be embarrassed.

Good Luck!
