Baby Girl #3

Girl Names
1

We have two daughters, [name_u]Harper[/name_u] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] and [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_u]Everly[/name_u]. We love surname/boyish names for our girls. We went with more girly middle names. I really love both of their names and am finding it hard to choose another girl name that I love just as much. We have some options but reservations with each of them.

[name_m]Palmer[/name_m]- We really love this name. I guess we’re worried that it might be too out there. Does it fit on an adult woman? There aren’t really any nickname possibilities and I’m really into nicknames. I think it fits well with her sisters though. [name_u]Harper[/name_u], [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], and [name_m]Palmer[/name_m].

[name_f]Mila[/name_f]- We also love this name. It is funny because I loved it when we were naming the first two but my husband always vetoed it. This time around, he likes it, go figure. It doesn’t really fit with our naming style, it is so girly [name_f]IMO[/name_f].

[name_f]Gemma[/name_f]- No real reservations with this name except that some close friends considered it for their daughter. They didn’t go with it, but I don’t want them to think we “stole” it from them. [name_u]Love[/name_u] the nn [name_f]Gem[/name_f].

As for middle names, we don’t really have any yet. I would love to honor my grandmother, [name_f]Imogene[/name_f]. I would use the whole name but not sure if I could get on board with just “jean”. Although, [name_f]Imogene[/name_f] seems a little heavy in the middle spot with both [name_m]Palmer[/name_m] and [name_f]Gemma[/name_f]. [name_f]Mila[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u] seems a little country to me.

[name_f]Do[/name_f] you have a favorite from our current three? Any name suggestions based our list? Any middle name suggestions? Thank you in advance!!

I don’t love [name_m]Palmer[/name_m], sorry. It’s just quite masculine-sounding to me. I like [name_f]Mila[/name_f]. You’re right that it doesn’t necessarily “fit” with your other girls’ names, but the way I look at these things is that while a complementary sibset is nice, kids aren’t going to be scrutinized as a matched set once they turn into adults, so if it’s the name you both love, use it anyway. [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] I adore, it’s my favorite of these three, but [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_f]Imogene[/name_f] sounds pretty bad - just too many repetitive sounds. [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_u]Jean[/name_u] is better.

A few suggestions I think might work with the vibe you’re going for:

[name_u]Adair[/name_u]
[name_f]Blythe[/name_f]
[name_u]Darcy[/name_u]
[name_u]Ellery[/name_u]
[name_f]Grier[/name_f]
[name_u]Kendall[/name_u]
[name_f]Lark[/name_f]
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]
[name_u]Tegan[/name_u]

I’m not too keen on the name [name_m]Palmer[/name_m] with your other names. Also, I don’t like that two names would end in “er.” Here are some other suggestions:

H@rper [name_f]Kate[/name_f], R0wen [name_u]Everly[/name_u] and…

[name_u]Carlisle[/name_u]
[name_u]Aubrey[/name_u]
[name_u]Kendall[/name_u]
[name_u]Merrill[/name_u]
[name_u]Merritt[/name_u]
[name_u]Laine[/name_u]
Ardsley
[name_u]Finley[/name_u]
[name_f]Kiera[/name_f]
[name_f]Fiona[/name_f]
[name_f]Leonie[/name_f]

I could imagine using [name_f]Imogene[/name_f] with any of theses names, although I think I’d prefer something simpler (along the lines of [name_f]Kate[/name_f] and [name_u]Everly[/name_u].)

I’d like the sound of [name_u]Gene[/name_u], (shortened [name_f]Imogene[/name_f]) [name_f]Blythe[/name_f], [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], [name_u]Brooke[/name_u], [name_f]Greer[/name_f], [name_f]Hope[/name_f]. [name_f]Mila[/name_f], [name_u]Mika[/name_u], [name_f]Eve[/name_f], [name_f]Eva[/name_f], [name_f]Ava[/name_f], [name_f]Jane[/name_f] in the middle spot with any of the names I suggested above. You have to see what YOU like best…

4

I’m guessing [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] is too common? [name_f]McKenna[/name_f]? [name_m]Kendrick[/name_m]? Some other surname like [name_m]Calloway[/name_m]? [name_u]Waverly[/name_u]?

5

[name_f]Gemma[/name_f] is great in your sib set! It’s a bit more ‘feminine’ but [name_u]Jem[/name_u] is a long-standing literary boys’ name so I think it blends just fine. I would do an I middle that’s a variation of [name_f]Imogene[/name_f] - [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_f]Ione[/name_f], [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f]. I would even say [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] itself could be an honor name for [name_f]Imogene[/name_f] - I mean the letters are all in there! That way you can use whatever you want for the middle - [name_f]Imogene[/name_f]’s birth month; her surname; her middle name; where she was born, etc…

6

I think [name_m]Palmer[/name_m] is awesome, I can definitely picture it on a grown woman, even if some imagine it’s her surname. Possible nn’s could be:
[name_f]Pam[/name_f]
[name_f]Alma[/name_f]
[name_m]Al[/name_m]
Or you could use the middle name to come to a nn, eg, [name_m]Palmer[/name_m] [name_u]Jean[/name_u], PJ.
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f] fits your sibset more than [name_f]Mila[/name_f] [name_f]IMO[/name_f], though [name_f]Mila[/name_f] would make a great middle.
Other surname/unisex names:
[name_u]Carter[/name_u]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u]
[name_f]Jolie[/name_f]
[name_u]Robin[/name_u]
Ensley
[name_u]Keegan[/name_u]
[name_u]Sage[/name_u]

7

Oh! I also think [name_f]Greer[/name_f] would work beautifully with your sibset!

8

[name_u]Harper[/name_u] [name_f]Kate[/name_f], [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_u]Everly[/name_u] and…

I like [name_f]Gemma[/name_f] the best of your list, and I also agree that it works itself as a tribute to [name_f]Imogene[/name_f].

Otherwise:
[name_u]Delaney[/name_u]
[name_f]Lenore[/name_f]
[name_f]Irene[/name_f]
[name_m]Farley[/name_m]
[name_f]Nell[/name_f]
[name_f]Zadie[/name_f]
[name_f]Frances[/name_f]
[name_f]Greer[/name_f]
[name_u]Tierney[/name_u]
[name_f]Ingrid[/name_f]

10

[name_f]Lovely[/name_f] strong names. [name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_u]Peyton[/name_u]? Always loved that one. [name_u]Peyton[/name_u] [name_f]Mila[/name_f], [name_u]Peyton[/name_u] [name_f]Imogene[/name_f]. Some others:

[name_u]Elliot[/name_u]
[name_u]Paris[/name_u]
[name_u]Ellis[/name_u]
[name_f]Marin[/name_f]/[name_f]Maren[/name_f]
[name_u]August[/name_u]

11

[name_f]Gemma[/name_f] gets my vote! It is such a lovely name. But I am not a fan of names like [name_u]Harper[/name_u], [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] and [name_m]Palmer[/name_m] for girls. [name_f]Mila[/name_f] is nice too.

12

I love [name_m]Palmer[/name_m]! The only thing I don’t like about it in your case is that it’s a little similar to [name_u]Harper[/name_u].

[name_u]Harper[/name_u], [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], &

[name_u]Finley[/name_u] (love these 3 together!!)

[name_m]Ingram[/name_m]
[name_u]Blakely[/name_u]

I never thought of [name_m]Palmer[/name_m] for a girl before. It’s kind of awesome, but I also agree with you it might be too out there.
