Jami Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 We just found out this morning that we're having another girl, if the ultrasound was read correctly of course. My son is dealing with this news pretty cheerfully, it won't be easy having three little sisters I suppose. But his dad survived and so will he. :001_smile: We have a name choice that dh prefers and I'm still wavering a bit on. But I'd like to hear what name you'd suggest, preferably one that fits the other kids: Bennett Daniel Olivia Katherine Sophia Joanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amy g. Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I have an Olivia, and my baby's name is Louisa. If I have another daughter, I'm leaning toward Sophia, so I think those names go well together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2legomaniacs Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I didn't ever have any girls, but here are some that I like: Ellie Elizabeth (cousin's oldest dd with sisters Olivia Grace and Mary Claire) They call the youngest by the whole name, Mary Claire. I like that one too. Brain just stopped working. I had a couple of others and boom they were gone in a flash. Stinks getting older!:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astrid Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I'm partial to Molly Catherine :D but Molly's other middle name is Linnea, (Lin-AY-uh) which is the national flower of Sweden. I've always loved the name, and if I ever had another dd (out of the question at this point! :D) I'd use that as a first name. We also know a little girl names Sarabel, which I think is a pretty name as well. I love the name game, but I'm much better at dog names--- give me the name of a kennel and I can have a registered name for any breed dreamed up in seconds! :-) astrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracey in TX Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Pretty names for your children! I like how the girls end in "a", so I would probably stick with that. ie: Francesca, Alexa, Gabriella, Julia/Julianna. Let us know what you decide to name the baby.

Jennifer in MI Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I'm partial to Molly Catherine :D We always wanted to use Molly. But our last name ends with -y and it was just too sing songy!!! (Of course, we call our baby Meg and it is always getting changed to Meggy - so we got sing songy anyway!!) Hmmmm . . . I'm partial to Margaret Elizabeth!! I love your other kids' names!!! Very traditional. How about Julia/Juliet Josephine Elizabeth Beatrice Eleanor Bridgette (another one we nearly used for dd) Katherine/Catherine (call her Kate/Cate or Katie) Lucy/Lucette (I LOVE these - but it didn't match our last name) Good luck!!!

Jennay Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Do your kids go by their full names or by nicknames? Sometimes that makes a difference in deciding on a name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jami Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 Do your kids go by their full names or by nicknames? Sometimes that makes a difference in deciding on a name.

Jami Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 Thanks for the great ideas so far! Julia/Juliana is one we're considering. And I love Charlotte and Lucy, more than dh does though. Victoria and Gabriella were mentioned and are very pretty, but we have one of each in the family already. I'm compiling a list for dh to see.

Andie Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I love the names you already have, Jami. I lean toward the classic names, myself, but I just HAVE to veto Lydia for you. (I have veto power, yes? lol) People always mishear my Lydia's name as Olivia and vice versa. If we have another baby girl, eek and gulp and ack I'll name her Josephine, I think and then I'll run away from home. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crissy Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I'm terrible with names, so I'll just add my congratulations! And some other insignificant information: I love your children's names! I often thought I'd love an Olivia if I had a girl. My brother had three sisters. He was always such a gentleman, regardless of his company. I always thought it was because he lived with so many girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jami Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 More great suggestions you guys. Debra, I found a list of "endangered British names" I think most of yours were on it. ;) Maxine Lorraine is my paternal grandmother's name, I know you love those names from the 20s and 30s. I do like Norah, I think that's on your list. I'm testing it on dh right now. I also like Phoebe, but wonder if Friends is still too recent to not have *that* Phoebe come to everyone's mind. It's fun to try and find the perfect name though, thanks for your help all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jane Elliot Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I love the names you've already used. I have nieces named Kristiana, Mariella, and Lillia, all very classy, I think. We have a Gillian and I love saying that more than I ever dreamed I would. Dh named her. I have a friend about ready to adopt and they like Eliza and Louisa and I think those are lovely. I keep trying to talk them into Eleanor, even though I do like their choices. Someone here mentioned Ava and I liked the ring of that with your other names. I think Gabriella would also go well with your other names. Let us know what you choose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrie12345 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I wasn't going to look at this thread b/c I'm currently fighting baby lust, but I couldn't resist. My favorites are probably Charlotte and Tabitha. And, of course, the ones we used- Haleigh and Morgan.:) We've backed ourselves into a corner though. We have 4 kids with 2-syllable names, each with it's own first and last letter. I am so anal retentive, that I would absolutely insist on doing the same with another baby. Which cancels out a gazillion names, including Charlotte and Tabitha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
