Family Favorites Friday

My sister and I are going to tell you our favorite names from the 1890's and 1900's posts.
Susanna Marie
Boys:
1. Walton- I really love the name Walt, but I don't like Walter and Walt by itself feels incomplete. Walton is a really handsome name with the adorable nickname Walt.
2. Roscoe- This name sounds really fun to me and reminds me of the name Ross, which was my maternal grandfather's middle name. 
3. Artis- This name has a really great meaning and it sounds like artist, which gives it an artsy, fun feel.
4. Boyd- I really like one syllable boy's names and there is just something about Boyd that I really love.
Girls:
1. Ethelyn- This name has a wonderful meaning and sounds really beautiful to me.
2. Audra- This name also has a great meaning and it is a variant of Audrey, so it gives me that old Hollywood feel the way Audrey does, because of Audrey Hepburn.
3. Tessie- This is such an adorable and spunky name.
4. Flora- I love that it means "flower" and it sounds very beautiful to me.
(My sister) Shelby
Boys:
1.Hollis- This is a really cute name with the accessible nickname "Ollie".
2. Sumner- This name sounds manly and cool.
3. Howard- This is our father's middle name and she loves the nickname "Howie". It also has really nice meanings.
4. Watson- This name sounds cool and she likes the association with Sherlock Holmes.
Girls:
1. Theodosia- This name sounds really cool with cute nickname options, "Thea", and a great meaning.
2. Audra- sounds pretty and has a wonderful meaning.
3. Portia- Although it doesn't have the best meaning, it is a gorgeous name.
4. Tessie- It is short and sweet with a nice meaning.
