denver & Indiana

hi, we don't know what we are having yet, but i am already searching for names...

so far for girls we are stuck on:

Denver Grace & Indiana (Addison)(Rose)(Ella)(for middle names)

we also like reagan, bailey


for boys we are stuck but have in mind...

Kohen & Coby
Kirby
deacon
miles
tate

what do you think or do you have any other suggestions.

 

I don't like Indiana Ella...thats hard to say BUT, I do love both of those names...just not together. I really like Addison but thats an awful long name. I think Rose is my favorite and honestly, I've never been a huge fan of it, but Indiana Rose sounds so good together! i'm completely sold on Denver Grace, too!

I like Kohen and Deacon...Kohen and Coby got me tongue tied

 

I've changed my mind The more I say Indiana Ella the more I like it! Its growing on me. I actually wanted Madison to be Ella but our last name is Bell.

 

I like don't like Denver for a name but LOVE Indiana!
I like Savannah and Sydney for g/g

I like Kobe and Kohen
Also like:

Rose for mn
Delaney
Dakota
Madison

 

Denver Grace & Indiana Ella/Indiana Rose/Indiana Addison:
Not a huge fan of Denver, (I prefer Reagan) but Grace is super cute! Indiana Rose is adorable - the other two middle names don't sound right with Indiana.

For boys, I really like Deacon Tate and Miles Kohen.

 

Definitely do not like Denver, but love Indiana.

ok, so we'll go with indiana rose...
we've been stuck on denver grace for about 4 years and is my hubbys fav,

just a question...as an aussie, does it bother you guys that we use american place names as baby names.I've been on another naming site where names like montana, indiana, alaska, etc austin, get crusified.

i've been to the states and loved it and so feel comfortable naming babies after places from a country i loved.

just curious from the few that didn't like denver...why? does it not sound like a girls name, name or is it just yucky?

thankyou for any help.

 

other girls names i thought about about (place names) were Missoula or missouri ( missy for short) but i wasn't sure if they were feminine enough.

does anyone else have any usa place name suggestions? we already have a georgia here(we live in a small town) and i've alwyas wanted to call my daughter savannah, but my friend just called her girl avannah.

 

I worked with a girl who's name was Brindiana. She went by Brin. Just a thought. I like Denver for a boy.

Some other thoughts for place names: Carolina, Lousinana (sp?), Sydney, Paris...I could keep going. There are also a lot of names of places in Hawaii that are quite feminine sounding. (Kehena comes to mind...its a beach...but it means underworld so its probably not a good choice )

 

I know a lady who has 3 kids named: Dakota, Kansas, and Jersey.

 

Charlotte is a place as well as a more common name her too. I think Indiana is different, I guess I have never thought of using State names as a name. Denver reminds me of someone that's older...or like countryish....like John Denver. I dunno...it's the famous people thing...like i have room to talk - we're deciding on Payton or Ashton and they're both famous actors names. As for the ? about how we feel, i think it's different..infact, if you all are naming your babies after states from teh US what about sharing some ideas of names that are more common around you that may not be common around here. Know what i mean?

I think that it is nice that you liked our country so much you want to use US place names.

I also think Denver is more masculine, it also makes me think of being snowed in at the airport :angry: .
Even though it end in ana, I also think of Indiana as a boys name, because of Indiana Jones.
While I like Missy (that's what I was called until I started university) Missouri is terrible for a name in my mind. I'm from a neighboring state and a lot of people intentially misspronounce it Misery.

Dakota can be a boy or a girl.
Maddison is a great city.
Lousiana would work, but it's kind of a mouthful.
Nevada could also work as a girls name.
America is also a nice girl's name.
My cousin wanted to name is daughter Wyoming, but his wife filled out the birthcertificate and put Heather, when he'd gone home to shower!
For boys you could use Washington or Lincoln, both places and great men.
Or Kentucky (nn Kenny)

There are also lots other pretty native American place names that are not famous places, so few people in Australia would know that's what they are.
I like Keokuk and Taliqua for example.

Yup, hate it. I just don't like those as names. (Sorry, just my opinion) Those are places, not names IMHO.

Denver is also very masculine.

I love Charlotte though. It's both a name and a place.

 

Funny you ask about place names,I am an American living in Australia for 5 1/2 years,half our kids were born in each country! The two oldest are Savannah and Sydney and had NO idea we'd end up living in Sydney,Australia one day!!! Anyway,I didn't intentionally name them after places so I don't mind it either way. Denver is more of a boys name IMO but I LOVE Indiana for a girl! Dakota and Montana are more girly now too I think! I know someone from another parenting messege board just had a baby boy named Boston Alexander and Brooklynn is very popular for girls as well these days....SO ,I say use whatever you like!

Oh,and I do LOVE the name Georgia but would never use it because I already have a Savannah! LOL! (Georgia Ruby is CUTE!)!

 

Oh,how about
Indiana and Georgia
OR
Indiana and Irelynn

 

thanks for your opinions.

i like indiana and geogia, maybe i should just go with an earlier name, savannah and indiana?
