#3 is a girl and we're at a loss for names

[Citryne]

We agreed on our first boy’s and first girl’s names while we were still dating. They were both honor names, his grandfather and my grandmother. We were able to agree on a second boy’s name but it looks like baby #3 is a girl so we’re back to the drawing board.

I love vintage names, like ones that were popular in the early 1900’s. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband loves 80’s names because they are familiar and he grew up hearing them constantly.

Our son is [name_m]Carl[/name_m] and our daughter is [name_f]Esther[/name_f] so I would love to find a name that doesn’t sound weird with them. Our last name is a presidential name that starts with K.

[futuremama]

I think [name_m]Paul[/name_m] would work nicely, although it ends with an L like [name_m]Carl[/name_m] does. Not sure if that would both you or not.

[name_f]Nancy[/name_f]
[name_f]Helen[/name_f]
[name_f]Rita[/name_f]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]

[name_u]Amos[/name_u]
[name_m]Simon[/name_m]
[name_m]John[/name_m]
[name_m]Ralph[/name_m]
[name_u]Stanley[/name_u]
[name_m]Floyd[/name_m]

Edit: I’m so sorry, I just realised you said that your baby is a girl Please forgive me, I was half awake I’ll leave the boy names up in case someone else in the future is looking at this for inspo

Your name choice is amazing! I actually had a rabbit named [name_f]Esther[/name_f]! So it’s a shame I’ll never be able to use it! For girl names I love the name [name_u]Holly[/name_u]! But that name is more associated with [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] babies and might not fit your theme or 1900s (it goes more with your husbands name) other suggestions are the name [name_f]Iris[/name_f] ([name_f]Esther[/name_f] and [name_f]Iris[/name_f] seem so cute to me), [name_f]Paula[/name_f] (It more 1900s but would fit your husbands ironically) and [name_f]Jane[/name_f]! I thought the name [name_f]Carol[/name_f] to! But it seems so close to [name_m]Carl[/name_m], and the name [name_f]Karen[/name_f]! But if your from the U.S that might not be the best options

[Citryne]

@futuremama totally get it lol. I’ve been in a sinus fog all day

Thanks all! Some of the listed names we’ve looked at and some are new so we’ll have to look over the lists once the hubby is home.

Ruth!

[expecting_motherof4]

Mabel, [name_f]Astoria[/name_f], [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], or [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] may be a good compromise! Or maybe do a 80s name for the first and a classic for the second (or vice versa). [name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps and congradulations xx

[Citryne]

We finally came to a decision! Thank you all for your help.

Thanks to a suggestion from my brother and his wife, we agreed on [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]. It fit my early 1900’s and my husband liked that it was familiar but a little bit fantasy sounding.
