A couple more possibilies we're considering for #3

bb2duesoon · January 20, 2011, 12:16pm

It is still early days and I’ve posted a few other messages recently. We don’t know what we’re having, but suspect it might be girl #3.

Two names we’re considering at the moment are:

[name]Amaya[/name] [name]Grace[/name] _____
[name]Clara[/name] [name]Isobel[/name] [name]Blythe[/name]

We want 2 middles because that’s what our other girls have. At least one middle will be used to honour a family member or close friend.

Any comments on these names? I know the fns are very different in style. [name]Amaya[/name] is less classic, but we like it’s meaning and I have a special connection to Japan (and this is one of the most usable Japanese names for English speakers)
Does [name]Amaya[/name] sound too close to [name]Isla[/name]?
[name]Will[/name] a girl named [name]Amaya[/name] always be correcting people when they ask her name: “What’s your name?” “[name]Amaya[/name]” “[name]Maya[/name]?” “No, [name]Amaya[/name].” ??? Or will they think “[name]Amaya[/name]” sounds like she’s saying “I’m [name]Maya[/name]”?

Thanks.

Personally I am not a fan of either [name]Amaya[/name] or [name]Grace[/name], but I think [name]Clara[/name] [name]Isobel[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] is just perfect! [name]Blythe[/name] is one of my favorites.

I love [name]Clara[/name] [name]Isobel[/name] [name]Blythe[/name]! [name]Blythe[/name] is fabulous. [name]Amaya[/name] is nms and is too similar to [name]Isla[/name] imo. (I’m assuming one of your other girls is [name]Isla[/name]) I don’t love [name]Grace[/name] in the middle because it’s so overdone.

[name]Clara[/name] [name]Isobel[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] is perfection! [name]Amaya[/name] is too similar to [name]Isla[/name] I think.

Definitely [name]Clara[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] [name]Isobel[/name]! (I think this flows a little better.)

Agreed on both counts!

I don’t like [name]Amaya[/name]. I especially don’t like [name]Amaya[/name] and [name]Isla[/name].

I love [name]Clara[/name] however.

[name]Isla[/name] and [name]Amaya[/name] are too close, I think

[name]Clara[/name] [name]Isobel[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] is a great name! I love it!

Also, I love the sound of [name]Isla[/name] and [name]Gracie[/name] together… you could definitely use [name]Grace[/name] as a first name, I think!
