BellaOnline Forums Health and Fitness Baby Names No Good Names for my Last Name

Hello! I've been trying to pick out both a boy and a girl name for my baby due this fall, but I feel like there aren't any that flow with my last name so I thought I'd turn to all of you for some advice and suggestions :-) My last name is Fekete (FEK-uh-tay) I'd say my style is typically non-traditional/unique but really, I'm open to anything! Thanks all!

Off the top of my head...

Harper

Could you give us some examples of names you do/don't like? That might help us come up with better suggestions.

Hi Nancy! Thanks for the suggestions! I really like Harper, Kendall and Silas. Some of my favorites for girls are Avonlea (av-un-lee) Seneca, and Elysia. For boys, I'd say Levi, Calum, and Gideon. I hope this helps give you a sense of my style. Really, I'm open to any suggestions though - I often find that there are names I don't particularly like at first that I end up loving later.

Thanks for the extra info! Ok, how about...

I like Seneca (although maybe not with your last name- lots of hard k's) and Levi. You may want to keep it in the "more recognizable" realm for the first name, since your last name is a little more uncommon. Maybe something with a lot of vowels, to balance out the consonants in the last name- Eloise, or Willow, or Joel, or Oliver, or Ian? -Karen
