It was meant to be Everly & Spencer...

[Amee1992x]

Due twin girls the start of October.

We had decided on Everly Genevieve & Spencer Ottilie. My DH loved Spencer but has went off it recently & we are gonna choose another name.

He won't let me have Ottilie 😞.

We like -
Verity (DH choice)
Mila or Veda.

Help us 🤷🏻‍♀️

I think it sounds like a tongue twister if you say it a lot (you will). Too many 'l' and 'ee' sounds imo.

How about Vaila? It's a Scottish Island and sounds similar to Veda and Mila?

I find it odd when a post contains the sentence 'please don't' or 'you cant' like it's going to have some kind of impact on their own life! Don't forget OP you don't know these people.

Thanks, i also think that too.

Isn't mn all about gleaning opinions regardless of how they are expressed (sigh)? Please don't = I don't think it's a good idea. You can't (literally no one can say that to you even if is against the law, always your choice) = I don't think it's good idea.

Yes I agree, but how an opinion is received has everything to do with how it is executed. Enforcing your opinion (you can't, please don't) isn't going to be received as well as 'I don't think that is a good idea'. Too many people on here are so forthright. You are able to articulate yourself well clearly, why not be constructive and tactful at the same time?

Not a personal attack on you Merry BTW, just a general observation.

You're not spelling Everly the right way, OP. It's Everley. If you're still considering that name, don't put your child at a disadvantage.

Iv seen it spelled Everley, Everly and Everleigh.

& everyone keeps saying it reminds them of the Everly brothers 🤷🏻‍♀️

Everly is a well known spelling and probably the most popular.

You can't win on MN OP...if you call your baby Olivia or Oliver you 'lack imagination' but something more unusual 'your child will never be a lawyer' 🙄

I think Mila is a little popular in comparison to Everly as I know of a few. Everly may get misheard as Evelyn but that doesn't matter as plenty of names get misheard or mispronounced now and then.

Yeah i get that, I love hearing people's opinions & suggestions sometimes because it's an annonmous form people can be a bit harsh.

I guess I'm not all that tactful in real life either. I'm one of those people that's pretty good at understanding what people mean so it doesn't make much difference to me how it's said. In fact, it drives me a bit potty when people aren't upfront eg. They think something is a terrible idea and breast around the bush, but clearly they think it's a terrible idea. I want to scream: just say what you mean!! And then I have option to take it or leave it, rather than try and guess what you mean!

I wasn't having a go marigold I was meaning in general

Faye
Mabel
Briar
Melody
Joy
Jemima

You can tell people what you mean and be honest without being rude though. Not aimed at anyone specifically just in reference to what you said MerryMarigold

But what l why is it ruder to say, "Please don't..." rather than "I think it's a really bad idea...". Too me, they're exactly the same! But maybe I'm not nuanced enough.

No offence taken Amee. I think your name ideas are pretty cool!

Everly and odette?
Everly and collett?
Everly and Violet?
Think a time ending sounds good with Everly.

Everly and

Piper
Maddison
Mia
Tamara
Addeline
Scarlett
Eloise

Maeve or Maude

I have only heard of Everly as a surname, and it does make me break out in one of the Everly brothers' songs, so I don't like it as I don't like surnames as first names.
I like Margot though.

I have an Everly Rose Tabitha ( always get lovely comments about her name - good choice!) and am in hospital about to be induced still undecided on names.

Margot is on our list too as is Martha and Romilly.

So hard !

We had a still born baby last summer, Romany Mairead ❤️.

Romilly is a lovely name! Good luck x

I'm very sorry to hear about your loss.

I think Everly and Mila are nice but Margot goes a bit better in my opinion

Everly and Margot are great together, and they sound balanced, and are two totally different sounds so no tongue-twister moments - agree that Everly and Mila just don't sound good together. Also the middle names fit.

I'm not a fan of Everly I admit but also are you keen on Eve? Because it's highly likely that she will end up as either this or Evie for short.
