I’ve been lurking this forum hardcore for so long! And I finally need some help with giving this baby girl a name!!
My DH and I have twin boys, [name]Chester[/name] [name]Ambrose[/name] and [name]Felix[/name] [name]Nathaniel[/name]. We both love their spunky, vintage first names! [name]Felix[/name] is a total trouble-maker while [name]Chester[/name] is the calmest, happiest kid you’ll ever meet. They fit their names perfectly.
Their middle names both honor their grandpas (my dad is [name]Nathan[/name] and DH’s is [name]Abraham[/name]). I’d like our girl to have a middle name that honors either my mother, DH’s mother, or one of our grandmas.
People we would like to honor: [name]Sylvia[/name], [name]Annabel[/name], [name]Mariella[/name], [name]Josie[/name], [name]Lillian[/name]
When we honor someone’s name in the middle, we want to tweak it and use it in a different form, like we did with turning [name]Abraham[/name] into [name]Ambrose[/name] and [name]Nathan[/name] into [name]Nathaniel[/name].
DH and I so easily agreed on boy names, but it’s totally different with a little girl on the way. He likes nothing! All the names I’ve suggested, he’s vetoed.
We’re confused. What little girl names would go well with her big brothers?
I would absolutely love to see [name]Lilia[/name] used in the middle! Or up front, I’m not picky [name]How[/name] about using two family names? [name]Lilia[/name] [name]Anneliese[/name] would be beautiful. Other ideas:
Your family names are stunning! I think [name]Lilibet[/name]/[name]Lilias[/name]/[name]Lilia[/name]/[name]Liliana[/name] would be lovely ways to honor a [name]Lillian[/name], [name]Sylvie[/name] for [name]Sylvia[/name], [name]Josephine[/name]/[name]Josefina[/name] for [name]Josie[/name], [name]Mary[/name]/[name]Maria[/name]/[name]Marietta[/name] for [name]Mariella[/name], and [name]Isabelle[/name]/[name]Mirabelle[/name]/[name]Arabella[/name]/[name]Anna[/name]/[name]Anais[/name]/etc. for [name]Annabel[/name]. You have lovely family names!
My first thoughts were [name]Olive[/name] and [name]Hazel[/name]–I think they go really well with [name]Chester[/name] and [name]Felix[/name]. What about [name]Olive[/name] [name]Lilibet[/name] or [name]Hazel[/name] [name]Isabella[/name]?
I ran [name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Olive[/name] by my DH and he hates them :(! So sad because [name]Hazel[/name] is lovely.
But he really likes [name]Charlotte[/name], which I don’t like because it’s so popular.
We both like [name]Gemma[/name] and [name]Clara[/name], but don’t love them.
I love the names you have for your boys…
I saw that you sugested to your DH the name [name]Olive[/name]… what about the name [name]Olivia[/name]?
Here are a few others to consider…
[name]Evelynne[/name]
[name]Lucille[/name] ([name]Lucy[/name] for short)
[name]Juliet[/name]
[name]Ruby[/name]
[name]Daisey[/name]
