Hiya,
I'm 3-1/2 months along...

Do you like/dislike the following names:
Simone (girl)
Derek (boy)

Also, can you think of a good middle name for Simone? I'm stumped!!
Our last name begins with an "L" and has 2 syllables.

Thanks!

I like both names. I actually suggested Simone this time but my husband
said "too French" - lol.

As for middle names - do you have one? You could use that as the girl's
middle name. Use your husband's middle name for the boy's middle name, or a
maiden name from your family tree, or your maiden name.

LOl about your husband... tell him that it's also a Hebrew name (I
looked it up last night)!
Hmm... good ideas but I'm still stumped for a middle name... no good
maiden names in our families (all too funky)!

What about your name as a middle name?

Hi..

All I can think of is Simone Nicole L---------

I'm not hot for Derek, but it's not up to me...

Those are both nice names, and there are plenty of things that would work as a
middle name with Simone. What sort of names do you prefer? Is there a family
member you'd like to honor by using her name (or perhaps a feminized version of
his name) as a middle name? Are you looking for something that comes from a
particular linguistic or ethnic background? Do you care about the *meaning* of
the name (e.g., a place name that reflects where the baby was conceived, a
religious or personal characteristic name that reflects your hopes for this
baby)? Is there a name that you liked but rejected because it's too popular,
or too unusual, or too whatever, but it would work as a middle name?

Just for sounding nice together, I'd look for something with more than one
syllable; with the emphasis on the second syllable of Simone I just think it
would sound nicer. Simone Marie or Simone Elizabeth work better to my ear than
Simone Ann or Simone Lynn.

And I would avoid anything that ends in an "L" so that it doesn't run together
with your last name. Unless you come up with something you just *love* that
violates that rule -- after all, most of the time people don't use their full
names. :-)

I have a friend names Samone Elizabeth... I am guessing Simone is pronounced
the same way or simular

I really like Simone; not especially partial to Derek. How about a middle
name that starts with a vowel and has a 3-syllable sing-songy quality to
it, something like Simone Elena? I would stay away from a name that starts
with N because it will run together with Simone.

In my family, the general 'thing that is done' (at least for the first child
of each sex) is to either have a daughter with the mom's first name as her
middle name and a son with dad's name as his middle name, or to have a
grandparents first name as the middle name.

My brother and I each have one of our parents names as our middle name. My
nephew and my daughter each have a grandparent's name as their middle name.
My son has his father's first name as a middle name.

Around here some of the most common middle names I've heard a Marie,
Ann, Lynn and Rose. They all sound good after many first names, they are
short, easy to pronounce and flow nicely.

Don't you just love it when they rule out a name becasue its too (insert
ethnic origin here). I pointed out to DH, that between both heritage lines,
this bub will be part Irish, German, Scottish, English, Cornish (my GGfather
would *never* say he was "English") and Polish ... so his dismissiveness of
names because they sound "too Scottish" (as is my fav boys name) is just
silly.

**GREAT ideas, everyone... thanks so much
I like the name Derek because it just seems like a "cool guy's"
name--kind of funky/artistic/athletic... don't ask me why! My husband
doesn't love it either.

We are still on fence about Simone.

Our toddler son's name is Bjorn; my husband's family is Norwegian & we
went Scandinavian with baby #1.

For some reason, I pore over the baby name books & nothing jumps out
at me; good thing we have almost 6 months to decide on something... it
might just be the pregnancy-induced brain fuzz?? We find out the sex
next week, so that should help narrow things down... lol.

Ps. Camden is a super cool name, Holly!
