Help us pick between 3 girl names!
Due in May with our first! We’re rotating through 3 we like. We’ll use Rose as a middle name-sentimental family name. My last name is clearly Italian ‘DiXxxxx’ (3 syllables)
- Evelina Rose D. (Ev like ‘never’)
- Athena Rose D…..
- Mattea Rose D….
For Evelina, I think we’d call her Eve, Evie, maybe Lina for short. We like it bc it sounds beautiful and the meaning of the name is derived from ‘the desired one’. We had to do IVF to get pregnant and so this baby was especially on our hearts. It’s really elegant and I think flows well.
For Athena, we’re not sure the nickname. Maybe Ena. Athena as a name is elegant and beautiful. My husband has a particular affinity to the Classics. And we think Athena is rich, complex and there’s a lot to draw on.
For Mattea, Tea (tay-yuh). We like that it’s unique and is feminine but strong. Its meaning is ‘gift from God’, similar to Matthew. So again, is connected to how long we tried to have her.
Thanks for your thoughts!
