Hello everyone, I found out on Monday I am pregnant. I am really happy + have already started to look at/discuss baby names. I would appreciate other peoples opinions on the ones I do like, I prefer unique names rather than over used ones.
Girls: Sistine Fleurette Long, Starlette Maybel Long.
Other girls names I like: Dita, Saskia & Ettie.
Boys names: Channing, Kaylum, Jovi, Elino, Guy, Bruno + Barney.

I am open to other suggestions & what names look good together with the surname Long.

Thanks.

I really like Saskia and Guy, but agree with pp that unfortunately Guy doesn’t work with Long. How about Guido or Gus?

Some other girl suggestions:
Danica
Sapphire
Minerva

Hello.

Thank you for your honest opinion. I really like the name Minerva, so I have added that to my list.
My new list is the following: Anetta Izelle Long, Minerva, Rosina, Saskia, Odette, Elinor & Ettie.

Boys: Jovi, Bruno, Edmund, Amos, Jovan, Johan and Eli for the middle name as chosen by my partner.

Your new shortlist names are all good, op!

MerryChristmasToYou · 11/10/2024 10:26

Sistine - Awful
Fleurette - too close to florette
Starlette - awful
Maybel - Mabel isn't too bad but Maybel is awful
Dita - Not a huge fan
Saskia - Really nice
Ettie - A full name would be better
Izelle looks like a mix between Isabelle and Gazelle. Not in a good way
Channing - Channing Tatum is what I think.
Kaylum - Dreadful
Jovi - Joby is ok
Elino - too close to Elinor and lino
Guy - Love it
Bruno and Barney - Both OK, but Barney Long looks like Long Barn

The surname being an adjective means you need to watch that the name doesn't sound silly - e.g. Long Guy.
