So we are now officially ttc #2! Our son is [name]Lorcan[/name]. After much help on this site, we have decided that if number 2 is a boy, he will be [name]Findlay[/name] (definitely that spelling) and a girl will be [name]Elspeth[/name] or [name]Greer[/name]. My main question is, as my hypothetical sibset is hopefully about to become a little less hypothetical, which girl name do we pick? [name]Elspeth[/name] or [name]Greer[/name]? We love both and hope to eventually have both, but in the event of our next baby being a girl, we need to assume it may be our only girl and pick one or the other! So, ultimately, which goes best with [name]Lorcan[/name]: [name]Elspeth[/name] or [name]Greer[/name]? My other question is spelling: [name]Greer[/name] or [name]Grier[/name]? Thanks is advance,
Personally I think I like [name]Greer[/name] better with [name]Lorcan[/name] and [name]Findlay[/name]. But my decision could be colored by a snotty character in a book I read who was named [name]Elspeth[/name].
I’m a [name]Greer[/name] fan! I like either spelling, and it fits so well with [name]Lorcan[/name].
I agree that [name]Elspeth[/name] is a little hard to say. At least when I say it, it sounds like I’m trying to get the name “[name]Elizabeth[/name]” out as quickly as possible.
Well, I disagree with the majority, here, I think!
If your future baby turns out to be a girl, and you might only have one girl, I’d use [name]Elspeth[/name]! Why? Because both [name]Lorcan[/name] and [name]Findlay[/name] have two syllables, like [name]Elspeth[/name], and [name]Greer[/name] has just one - at least how I say it, it does.
I see how the hard sounds of [name]Greer[/name] may play nicely with [name]Lorcan[/name], but I love the softness of [name]Elspeth[/name] next to [name]Lorcan[/name] and [name]Findlay[/name]!
Either name would be beautiful. Go with your heart. And, good luck!
I would use [name]Grier[/name] for sure! I know someone named [name]Elspeth[/name] and she quite often gets frustrated because when she is introducing herself many people think she is saying '"[name]Elle[/name] [name]Smith[/name]"!
