Beatrice is the Italian form of Beatrix. Beatrix is thought to be from Viatrix , a feminine form of the Late Latin name Viator meaning "voyager, traveller". It was altered in the middle ages to be associated with the Latin beatus meaning "blessed, happy".

It's one of those names that Jay really likes—he likes Beatrix as well—so it keeps popping up. It shows up in dreams as well so I'm rather fond of it right now.

I think Betsy, Birdy / Birdie, Bunty, or Bee would be a perfect nickname.

Hazel is from the Old English word hæsel meaning the tree or light brown.

In British folklore, hazel trees are associated with love and fertility. In Celtic Ogham, hazel trees are associated with Brighid, goddess of wisdom and divine inspiration. It gives me great imagery of autumn and beautiful changing leaves.

Emily is an English feminine form of Aemilius, derived from the Latin aemulus meaning "rival".

I dreamt that we had a daughter named Emily and the name shot to the top of my list. It is my go-to for a middle name as well.

Pearl is an English name from the Medieval Latin perla , which is of unknown origin. There are two possible origins that I have found. The first is thought to perhaps be from the Vulgar Latin *pernula , a diminutive of the Latin perna which was used due to the shape of the mollusk's shell but actually meant "ham"! The second is that it may be from the Late Latin pirula meaning "little pear", likely referencing the gem’s shape

Pearls are thought to impart health and wealth to their bearers. A perfect gift! Pearls are also my birthstone.

Mabel is a Medieval form of the Late Latin name Amabilis meaning "lovable".

It is another autumnal beauty for me, she smells of warm pancakes and cool morning air and sounds like the softest of leaves crunching under foot.

June is thought to be from Iuonius, a contraction of Iunonius meaning "of Juno, sacred to Juno". Juno is the Roman Goddess of adult women, marriage, and childbirth. Juno possibly means "the young one" as it is from the Proto-Italic *juwen meaning "young". She was noted for her beauty and fits of jealous rage.

For me, the name is the childhood summers, bright and happy. It's early mornings by the stream, bare feet on dewy grass, sunshine filling the trees. It is carefree and limitless. June is also the month I was born in!

Nell is a Medieval diminutive form of names beginning with El-, like Eleanor or Helen which may have arisen from the affectionate phrase mine El .

I think it sounds quite sweet. It feels a bit prim but also friendly, approachable.

“I never approve, or disapprove, of anything now. It is an absurd attitude to take towards life. We are not sent into the world to air our moral prejudices. I never take any notice of what common people say, and I never interfere with what charming people do. If a personality fascinates me, whatever mode of expression that personality selects is absolutely delightful to me.”

— Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

Conan is an Irish name meaning "little wolf" from the element cú meaning "wolf, hound" combined with a diminutive suffix.

My first thoughts when it comes to Conan are foxes (not wolves for some reason), red hair (thanks to O'Brien), and Sherlock Holmes' author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Actually, if I think on it for a bit, I also remember Conan the Barbarian, created by Robert E. Howard.

Conan feels earthy but fresher than names like Rowan and Ronan as well. Though I quite like Ronan!

Henry is from the Germanic elements heim "home" and rih "ruler". It's a name that has stood the test of time and while traditional, it still has some warmth. I was never a huge fan of Harry or Hank though.

Clay is from the Old English clæg meaning "stiff, sticky earth; clay". It is also an English surname which referred to a person who lived near or worked with clay.

It reminds me of the story of the creation of man from Christian tradition. In Genesis 2:7, Adam was formed from the dust of the earth and God breathed the breath of life into him. It gives it some earthiness and humility. I believe this is also the basic creation story for those of Jewish and Muslim faiths as well.

Harold is from the Old English name Hereweald , derived from the elements here "army" and weald "power, leader, ruler". It was the name of two kings of England including Harold Godwinson, the last Anglo-Saxon king of England. The name fell out of use after the loss of the Battle of Hastings and the Norman Conquest. It was revived in the 19th century.

Harold is cuddly. A sweet teddy bear of a name that makes me think of cozying up with a good book, a just-right cup of cocoa, and a soft blanket. I also think of the movie Harold and Maude and the children's book Harold and the Purple Crayon .

I adore the nickname Halley, like Halley's comet. Rollo would be quite cute too. Then there's Holly and Harry as well… Options! Note: Jay is 100% against Halley. ☹️ Harold is on the list of names that he'd actually use though!

Angus is a Scottish name from the Old Irish Óengus , possibly meaning "one strength" from óen meaning "one" and guss meaning "ability, excellence, strength". Aonghus (sometimes surnamed Mac Og meaning "young son") was an Irish god of love and youth, one of the Tuatha Dé Danann. It is also associated with the County in Scotland named after the 8th century Pictish king, Óengus I.

I grew up on a farm and I will never not think of black angus cows, so named for the county in Scotland they are associated with. It almost feels like a nod to my dad without using his actual name (Joseph, "Joe").

Angus feels strong, tough, but still soft as though he was quite bookish and maybe he'd wear glasses. It's cozy and friendly.
