Mom-To-Mom: What Would You Name This Child?


Hello Moms and Name-Enthusiasts! Here is another baby-naming dilemma that could use a bit more input!  The mom-to-be is looking for the following:
  • Girl name beginning with either W, P or Q. 
  • Feminine but does NOT begin or end with a vowel.
  • Avoid the Top 100 names.
  • Longer first name with a one syllable middle name.
  • Middle name cannot start with an A.
  • The last name is also one syllable.
Right now, the priority is to find a name that ends with a consonant sound that mom and dad can agree on. Their naming styles seems to differ. He likes common and classic whereas she is a bit more adventurous.  They have two children with somewhat classic names, but she is not concerned at all about finding a name to "match".

Liked names:
Quinn
Gwen
Willow (despite vowel ending)
Pippa  (despite vowel ending)
Whitney

What other names would you suggest? I've sent plenty of options and am waiting for another reply once she has a chance to talk with her husband but I thought I'd open this up to all of you name-lovers and see what ideas we can compile for her!

Thanks!

Winifred - I think it's classic and adventurous. It's also close to Quinn and Gwen. You could use Winnie or Fred or Effie as nicknames.

Wallis Quinn? Winter Rós? Pilar Wren? Phoenix Eir?
My immediate thought was Guinevere Rose or Gwendoline Lark, both nn Gwen. The classic middle name Rose might make Guinevere seem more "normal" to dad, while Lark (or some other "cool" middle name) might jazz up Gwendoline for mum.

Sorry just remembered was meant to start with W, P or Q!

Winter Rose, Persis Claire, Willabelle Plum.

I can't think of a feminine name starting with Q ending with a consonant offhand - there's always unisex Quentin.

Colonial Names for Boys and Girls

The Freake Limner (American Colonial Era Painter, active 1670-c 1680) Mrs Elizabeth Freake and Baby Mary 1674 British Colonial America was a very important time in our history. They are the ones that started it all with a sense of freedom and independence. The ones who made the voyage over were discovering a whole new land and developing their own rules in their own new towns. They also had some interesting names, some of which you don't hear often today, and others that might just be cool enough to actually use again. These names were popular in colonial times, taken straight from the 18th century! Some of these overlap with the Biblical names list, and they seem to be much different than the names popular in England during the Victorian era. If you're looking for some cool, historical choices, perhaps you'll find a name that you like here! Boys:                              Abel Abiel Abijah Ab...

The Power of Names: More Than Just a Label

Names hold immense significance, serving as the foundation of identity and the thread that connects individuals to their heritage, culture, and personal narrative.  They are much more than mere labels or a series of letters—names carry the weight of familial history, traditions, values, and aspirations. A name is often the first gift a person receives from their parents, imbued with love, dreams, and hopes for the future.  But why are names so important? The answer lies in their profound influence on our personal lives, social interactions, and how we navigate the world. A Symbol of Connection and Heritage A name anchors us in the rich tapestry of human experience, linking us to our ancestors and culture. Whether passed down through generations or chosen for its meaning, a name can reflect family history or cultural significance, often serving as a bridge between the past and the present.
