![]() This was one of the reasons Bix didn’t end up a Hazel, b/c the name just seemed to explode in popularity. I like Juniper a lot, but I already know/know of 3 little Junipers just in my circle. The only name we agreed solidly upon so far is Juniper, mainly b/c she doesn’t love coming up with names and basically just wants veto power (which I’m fine with, she’s doing the hard work of growing the kid!). We also like but can’t use Clementine, Ramona or Audre. ![]() ![]() Ticks all my buttons, but she’s not sold. The wife has unfortunately nixed my favorite, Wells it’s nature/word name, badass female author name, kinda unisex, etc. Also considered Aurelia to get to Goldie)īess (kind of an oblique honor name for several Elizabeth in our lives)Īstra/Estrella (her fetus name is Twinkle, so the wife likes star names) We’ve also considered and nixed Paloma, Columba, Sparrow and Wren to get to Birdie) We’re very nicknamey people, and I love a longer name with an unusual nn, preferably those kicky early 20th century-ish ones, like Kit/Birdie/Goldie, or something else that sounds like she’s a character in the Great Gatsby or maybe a wild west show? I also love a nature name and/or a word name and/or a very unusual name (hence my trying to make Aviatrix happen.) I’m okay with explaining a name – I thought Beatrix was safe, but I have to say “No, Beatrix, with an x” or “No, Bixie, like Dixie with a b” almost every time she introduces herself.Įilish (AY-lish, not EYE-lish, nn Ailey, like the dance company!)Īvis (Mostly just to get to nn Birdie, but I don’t hate it as a name. The thing that sold me on Beatrix was the nickname Bix. Like, is there just a name I haven’t seen/thought of yet that’s perfect, or am I overthinking? As a refresher, our last name sounds like muh-HALF-fee, and the kid will have my wife’s maiden name as a second middle, so sounding like First Middle MAC-irish muh-HALF-fee. I’m falling prey to all the second baby how-to-live-up-to-the-first’s-name problems, and I know that it’s because Beatrix is now a person and not just a name, but I just keep feeling like I haven’t found IT yet, despite my endless research. Photo: © Alphapress.Hello! You helped us name our first baby (Beatrix Dare, nn Bix/Bixie, for whom we considered the name Aviatrix until y’all talked us out of it) and we’re back again for help with her sister, due in December. Along with his older sisters Princess Mako and Princess Kako the tot will be getting to spend some quality time with his grandparents who are also enjoying the rural break.Įmpress Michiko and Emperor Akihito, who in the New Year wrote a poem dedicated to his grandson, will be looking forward to some rest and relaxation with their family after hosting their Swedish counterparts, King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia, on an official state visit for the past week. Held by his proud mother Princess Kiko, the little boy - now sporting an impressive head of hair - calmly surveyed his new surroundings at the royal residence in the town of Takanezawa, where all the food for the Imperial family is produced. The six-month-old, who according to the current constitution is third in line to the Chrysanthemum throne after his uncle Crown Prince Naruhito and his father Prince Akishino, was on best behaviour as he arrived for a stay at the family's farm north of Tokyo on Thursday. ![]() Young Prince Hisahito of Japan lived up to his name - which means serene and virtuous - this week. ![]()
