I know people that used the mom's family name and love it. Hobson, they call him Hobbs. I think it's a great way to honor your family without having to have a long hyphenated name. Cotner would be a cute name for sure. Henry is my favorite name, but I have been seeing it lots too.
Nameberry.com is a fun place to browse names! I like all of your name ideas Sara! I love very unique names like Avett but also names that honor a family. I am named after my great-grandmother and love that connection to her even though we never met. My friend named her baby Liberty because of their love of Boston and US History. Isn't that cute?
I have a friend who's named Lewis (his mother's maiden name) and I always thought that was a wonderful way around the his name-her name quandary. I love names that connect within a family.
And your letter to Coconut is beautiful; what a wonderful thing for him to have when he's older.
I promise I am open to feedback and truly appreciate hearing others' insights into my choices (it's like free therapy!), but please say it in the same way you would say it if we were sitting across from each other at brunch or next to each other on a park bench while our children play.
Love that you're writing to the baby. Also, you have amazing printing! Gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteFunny to hear about your Henry name problem. Henri is not all popular (anymore ?) for babies here in france !
ReplyDeleteVery short names are popular such as Noa. Or Leo. :)
Good luck with picking a name.

ReplyDeleteI love Cotner, and I think you should add a nest with an egg in it to your bird picture.
