Baby girl due in 5 weeks - need your help!

Girl Names
1

Hello -
We’re expecting a baby girl in 5 weeks and after weeks (months!) of trying to find the perfect name, my husband and I still can’t agree on one! We have two boys - [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] and [name_m]Foster[/name_m]. I love the unique but surname/traditional sound of their names, and want to find a girl name that fits in well with that style. I tend to prefer classic (my husband calls them “old lady”) names, and also like the idea of another surname, but am worried about the trendiness of names like [name_u]Emerson[/name_u] and [name_u]Harper[/name_u].

Here are my favorites, most of which have already been vetoed, but this should give you an idea of my preferences - would love your input/suggestions!! Middle name will likely be [name_f]Mae[/name_f] after my [name_f]MIL[/name_f] or [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] after my grandmother. Thanks in advance!

Classics:
[name_f]Willa[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]
[name_f]Claire[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]

Surnames:
[name_u]Emerson[/name_u]
[name_u]Harper[/name_u]
[name_u]Quinn[/name_u]
[name_u]Kennedy[/name_u]

Side note, love the nicknames “[name_f]Evie[/name_f]” and “[name_f]Emme[/name_f]”

Congratulations! I love your sons’ names :slight_smile:
Of what you listed, I like [name_f]Willa[/name_f] and [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] the most: they’re probably the least trendy and match your boys so well. Since [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] and [name_m]Foster[/name_m] are both surname names, I’d probably consider making that protocol for boys and using classics for girls: otherwise, you’ll lock yourself into a pattern that might be difficult to keep up. Of course, if you’re not planning on having more kids (or many more) that stops being an issue, but I thought I should mention it.

Other ideas:
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m], [name_m]Foster[/name_m], and [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m], [name_m]Foster[/name_m], and [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m], [name_m]Foster[/name_m], and [name_f]Clara[/name_f] (I know [name_f]Claire[/name_f] is on your list, but I think this one matches better and is also less popular)
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m], [name_m]Foster[/name_m], and [name_f]Delia[/name_f]
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m], [name_m]Foster[/name_m], and [name_f]Flora[/name_f] / [name_f]Florence[/name_f] ([name_f]Florrie[/name_f] seems like your kind of nickname, maybe?)
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m], [name_m]Foster[/name_m], and [name_f]Georgia[/name_f]
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m], [name_m]Foster[/name_m], and [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] (Not sure how you’d spell it, but you could definitely get your [name_f]Emme[/name_f] fix here)
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m], [name_m]Foster[/name_m], and [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m], [name_m]Foster[/name_m], and [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] (you could go [name_f]Maggie[/name_f], [name_f]Molly[/name_f], [name_f]Polly[/name_f], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]… all kinds of things)
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m], [name_m]Foster[/name_m], and [name_f]Victoria[/name_f]
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m], [name_m]Foster[/name_m] and [name_f]Virginia[/name_f]

I would definitely go with more classic/vintage girl names over a surname for a girl with your boys [name_m]Bennett[/name_m] & [name_m]Foster[/name_m]. Of your choices, I like [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] (I think you could use [name_f]Evie[/name_f] as a nn!) and [name_f]Claire[/name_f]. I like the suggestion of [name_f]Clara[/name_f]. And I love the suggestion of [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] - that would be a beautiful fit!

Thanks so much for your suggestions! :slight_smile:

There have been a lot of great suggestions. I particularly like [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] on the classic side. One suggestion for a surname that I don’t think is too trendy would be [name_u]Ellison[/name_u], or [name_u]Ellis[/name_u] for short. That was on my list, but got vetoed :slight_smile:

Good luck!

18

I have seen a few suggestions of [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f], which is really growing on me! [name_m]How[/name_m] would you pronounce it? [name_f]Emme[/name_f]-line or [name_f]Emme[/name_f]-lean?

Thanks!!
