Not pregnant yet, but planning TTC in early 2016. Since we have a bit of lead time, we’re thinking names already! I am fickle and it’ll probably change a million times - only my son has kept the name chosen for him during pregnancy, all of my girls ended up with different names toward the end of the pregnancy or after birth - but it’s fun to think about
Current kiddos are [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Willow[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f], [name_m]Adam[/name_m] [name_m]Isaac[/name_m], [name_f]Arielle[/name_f] [name_f]Susanne[/name_f] [name_f]Belle[/name_f] (called [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]), and [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_f]Saoirse[/name_f] (called [name_f]Rosa[/name_f] or [name_f]Rosie[/name_f]).
The middle name will be Patricia after my MIL. Depending on our final choice, a second middle name might be in there as well, though not sure what it’d be yet.
In no particular order -
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] - nn [name_f]Cora[/name_f] or [name_f]Cordie[/name_f]. I like the [name_m]Shakespeare[/name_m] reference that matches with [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]. Not sure if my husband likes it or not.
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] - nn [name_f]Tillie[/name_f].
[name_f]Camille[/name_f] - nn [name_f]Millie[/name_f].
[name_f]Lucille[/name_f] - nn [name_f]Lulu[/name_f] or [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]. My husband really likes this.
[name_f]Zelda[/name_f]
[name_f]Althea[/name_f] - nn [name_f]Thea[/name_f]. The current front-runner because my husband loves the TV show [name_m]Arrow[/name_m] and [name_f]Thea[/name_f] is a main character. I love it but my only gripe is another A initial in the family - we already have two A’s, and my sister’s three children are all A’s as well.
Opinions and any other name suggestions very welcome. As should be obvious, all of my girls’ names have L in them and we’d like to continue that should we have another little girl. Our boy’s name choices right now are [name_m]Levi[/name_m], [name_m]Archer[/name_m] or [name_m]Oliver[/name_m].
Wow I love [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_f]Saoirse[/name_f], great choice!
Anyway my choice would be be [name_f]Lucille[/name_f] “[name_f]Lulu[/name_f]”, I love how sophisticated this name is yet it has such lovely nicknames which work well right into adulthood. [name_f]Lulu[/name_f] would also be a nickname that doesn’t have the ee sound at the end so it wouldn’t be too matchy with [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosie[/name_f].
To me it matches the best with the elegant feminine names of your other girls
My second choice would be [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] “[name_f]Cora[/name_f]” which I also think is lovely and fits in really well
[name_f]Camille[/name_f] and [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] are also nice, but I don’t like [name_f]Millie[/name_f] and [name_f]Tillie[/name_f] as much as [name_f]Cora[/name_f] and [name_f]Lulu[/name_f] or [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], which are much nicer and are better able to grow up into adulthood [name_f]IMO[/name_f]
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f]! I would take out [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], [name_f]Cecily[/name_f], and [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] because the sister right above is [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] and those choices dilute the loveliness of her name! (all of your names are gorgeous!). I think [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] is great - lush, romantic, whimsical, yet strong enough to stand up to three older sisters. I also like all the. Nn choices - [name_f]Della[/name_f], [name_f]Lilah[/name_f], or [name_f]Dolly[/name_f]! [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] [name_m]Arrow[/name_m] would be a fun choice - I kind of like [name_m]Arrow[/name_m] Or [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] [name_u]Rowan[/name_u]!
Oh woops! I wasn’t actually looking at your list…I was looking at a pp’s list…sorry! Well, I still vote for [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] Second choice would be [name_f]Lucille[/name_f] Or [name_f]Talulla[/name_f], which also gives you the nn [name_f]Lulu[/name_f] and sounds fresher and spunkier to me than [name_f]Lucille[/name_f]. Could you use [name_f]Pansy[/name_f] as an honor name for [name_f]Patricia[/name_f]? Or [name_f]Patience[/name_f]? I like both of those with [name_f]Talullah[/name_f]!
[name_u]Love[/name_u] so many of these! A few wouldn’t work because they are friends’ childrens’ names ([name_f]Helena[/name_f], [name_f]Delilah[/name_f].) [name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_f]Lydia[/name_f], [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] - all on our long list but didn’t make the top spots for various reasons. Husband hates [name_f]Caroline[/name_f], [name_f]Cecily[/name_f]/[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]. I like the suggestion of [name_f]Colette[/name_f], never considered that one!
I wish my husband liked [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f]! I love it, he hates it.
The furthest I’m willing to modify [name_f]Patricia[/name_f] is to [name_u]Patrice[/name_u] if the first name has an A sound at the end to prevent it being repetitious.
Or [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] [name_u]Rowan[/name_u]!
