Baby due in 10 weeks. Still no name. Please help!

General Name Discussion
1

[name]Hi[/name]. I have been getting imput on babynames from other berries a few times now during my pregnancy. But now the birth is ten weeks away and neither I nor my husband has any clue! I am about to panic! We do not know the gender of the baby, so we are looking for both boy and girl names.

I like three-syllable names, with cute nn, and he loves classic-sounding names. I am really fond of [name]Noah[/name] for a boy and he has gotten stuck on [name]Kayleigh[/name] (which is not at all a name that will work in our native [name]Sweden[/name]). I am still waiting for the name-fairy to give me the perfect name. Please help!

Three syllable, classic, cute nickname, works in [name]Sweden[/name]. For a boy how about [name]William[/name]? Very classic, timeless, not trendy at all. Nickname could be [name]Will[/name], [name]Wills[/name], [name]Willy[/name], [name]Liam[/name], etc. For a girl I love the suggestions of [name]Katherine[/name] ([name]Kate[/name], [name]Katie[/name], [name]Kit[/name], [name]Kat[/name]) and would also suggest [name]Margaret[/name]. It has SO many nickname possibilities, is classic and pretty. Nicknames could be [name]Meg[/name], [name]Maggie[/name], [name]Margo[/name], [name]Greta[/name], [name]Maisie[/name], [name]Daisy[/name], [name]Peggy[/name], etc. Other options:

[name]Caroline[/name] - [name]Carrie[/name], [name]Caro[/name], [name]Carly[/name]
[name]Georgina[/name] - [name]Georgie[/name], [name]Gigi[/name], [name]Gina[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name] - [name]Josie[/name], [name]Jo[/name], [name]Fee[/name]
[name]Helena[/name] - [name]Nell[/name], [name]Nellie[/name], [name]Leni[/name], [name]Lena[/name]
[name]Louisa[/name] - [name]Lulu[/name], [name]Lou[/name]
[name]Matilda[/name] - [name]Tilly[/name], [name]Matty[/name], [name]Tilda[/name] ([name]Love[/name] this name a lot!)
[name]Rosemary[/name] - [name]Rosie[/name], [name]Romy[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name] - [name]Ellie[/name], [name]Lena[/name], [name]Nora[/name]

Thank you all for your suggestions!

I love the suggestions of [name]Blythe[/name] and [name]Georgina[/name] (which unfortunately are difficult to pronounce Swedish), [name]Vivianne[/name] (which my mother hates, so a no-go), [name]Eleanor[/name], [name]Lorelai[/name] and also [name]Leonard[/name] and [name]William[/name] (which is really popular now in Swden, so perhaps not what I am looking for unfortunately). When it comes to classic Swedish names I feel that they are way too used in [name]Sweden[/name] and my baby will just be one out of many. [name]Annika[/name] is really cool though if you do not live in [name]Sweden[/name] were it is very common. I would like more of an international name.

But I have realised something when I read your suggestions! I want a classic-sounding, “longer”-name with a good nn, but one that is not too common, but more quirky or exotic, but not too exotic… Am I on a mission impossible? :slight_smile:

Thanks for all your input, and I know I should not panic, but I am. Everybody is harassing me about names, and asking questions about why I haven’t thought of a name yet… So help my fellow-berries, help! :slight_smile:

Wow! Thanks for your input!

I love the suggestion of [name]Coralie[/name], [name]Iris[/name], [name]Clementine[/name], [name]Hermione[/name], [name]Aurora[/name]. They are definately going on our list, even though I think [name]Hermione[/name] will be a difficult name to pronounce well in a Swedish way. But I will try it out!

[name]Nathaniel[/name] and [name]Devon[/name] are beautiful suggestions but my husband says no. He has become really fond of [name]Alexander[/name], which is lovely of course. We’ll see.

I have become fond of the names [name]Esther[/name] and [name]Diana[/name] which both have a really lovely classical feel to it. Hmmm…

[name]Esther[/name] [name]Aurora[/name] sounds nice! :slight_smile: Thanks again for all your input!

11

[name]Alexander[/name] is perfect, good choice. I love [name]Alexis[/name] and [name]Alex[/name] also.

12

[name]Hi[/name] you have made some nice choices in [name]Alexander[/name] and [name]Esther[/name] and [name]Aurora[/name] is a lovely name.

I thought that [name]Estelle[/name] may be one you would like too.

Some more suggestions:

[name]Alexander[/name] [name]James[/name]
[name]Alexander[/name] [name]Arne[/name]
[name]Alexander[/name] [name]Leif[/name]
[name]Alexander[/name] [name]Bjorn[/name]

[name]Anais[/name] [name]Caroline[/name]

[name]Estelle[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]

[name]Giselle[/name] [name]Allegra[/name]

[name]Aurora[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] (love for a red haired child)

Best wishes

[name]Hi[/name]! Thanks for your input again guys.

[name]Estelle[/name] is a pretty name that I haven’t thought about… gonna give it a try. [name]Alexis[/name] is also cute… it would honour my dad whose middle name is [name]Alexander[/name].

[name]Anais[/name] is too much I think, it is very difficult to pronounce properly in my native language. The same goes for [name]Giselle[/name]. But thanks for the suggestions!

Any other quirky, longer but classic-sounding names out there? Would love to have more suggestions!

14

Josefin/[name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name]
[name]Norah[/name]/[name]Nora[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name] - pronounciation problem?
[name]Adele[/name]/[name]Adela[/name]
[name]Eva[/name]
[name]Nina[/name]- In my opinion the most international it gets when it comes to names for girls!
[name]Margaret[/name]
[name]Susannah[/name]/[name]Susanna[/name]
[name]Amelia[/name]
[name]Amalia[/name]
[name]Natasha[/name]
[name]Victoria[/name]
[name]Helena[/name]
[name]Regina[/name]
[name]Rosalie[/name]

[name]Cecilia[/name]
[name]Virginia[/name]
[name]Julia[/name]
[name]Antonia[/name]
[name]Mary[/name]
[name]Carlotta[/name]

I also like classic sounding with a twist of exotic. Several names I thought of when reading this were already suggested, but I wanted to add:

GIrls:
Adelena
[name]Avalyn[/name]
[name]Hannelore[/name]
[name]Honora[/name] (nn [name]Nora[/name])
[name]Karina[/name]/[name]Katarina[/name]
[name]Leora[/name]/[name]Leanora[/name]
[name]Natalie[/name]/Natialia

Boys (I tend to like shorter boys names, but these are some of the longer ones I’ve come up with):
[name]Asher[/name]
[name]Caleb[/name] (very popular in the US)
[name]Donovan[/name]
[name]Elliot[/name]
[name]Isaac[/name]
[name]Orlando[/name]
[name]Tobias[/name]

[name]Hi[/name]!

Our baby girl was born in august and I’ve been so busy I havn’t had the time to update you all on our name choice!

Her name is [name]Aurora[/name] [name]Pamela[/name] Esofin. We call her [name]Rory[/name]. [name]Pamela[/name] is after my mother and Esofin is a made-up name of the swedish words “She is so beautiful/nice” (E s” fin). :slight_smile: I love her name!

Thanks everyone for your help in discussing name options! I am already looking forwards to the next baby and the naming process!

[name]Love[/name],
[name]Natalie[/name]

congratulations on your little girl! love her name and love the nickname “rory”!
