Hello, thank you for taking the time to read my post.
I’m expecting another baby girl by around end of Feb/beginning of [name_u]March[/name_u] next year and my partner is a little useless when it comes to baby names, most of the time he is in Queensland for work and has said “surprise me” with our last two children! (A little boy named [name_u]Douglas[/name_u] [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] after his and my grandfathers and a little girl named Lucianne a combination of my mothers name [name_f]Anne[/name_f] and my partners sisters name [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]).
My partner has stated that as long as the children are happy and healthy that names don’t really matter, he loves them just the same, but I’m a little stumped this 3rd baby was a definate complete and utter surprise, we did not plan on another after Lucianne was born, he was even considering getting the snip.
The names that I like is [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f], [name_f]Eponine[/name_f] & [name_f]Grace[/name_f]-[name_u]Lee[/name_u] (I’ve always loved the names [name_f]Grace[/name_f] and [name_u]Lee[/name_u] for a girl so I combined them) - I can’t really use the name [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f] since my partner does already have a daughter with that name with an ex way before he met me, so it is between [name_f]Grace[/name_f]-[name_u]Lee[/name_u] and [name_f]Eponine[/name_f].
I absolutely love both names but I do favour [name_f]Grace[/name_f]-[name_u]Lee[/name_u] over [name_f]Eponine[/name_f], however, the middle name Has to be [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] after my great-grandmother but the last name also starts with L and I think that the name :
[name_f]Grace[/name_f]-[name_u]Lee[/name_u] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] L******
Does sound a little funny with so many L’s in it but the name :
[name_f]Eponine[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] L******
Doesn’t sound right either, I’m one for unique, unusual or traditional names for a girl as long as they sound feminine and dainty. I know I’m in a bit of freak-out mode, my first child was born a month early, and my second was only two weeks before the due date and I don’t want her to be born nameless - the others were planned so names were already set in stone and dealing with a 3yr old and a 1yr old, as well as working till I get closer to the due date to take maternity leave and struggling through university, as well as preparing for a new baby, pretty much as a single mother till my partner gets back home but that isn’t till Aug next year which is heartbreaking cause he never missed the first two births but will miss this one - my mum helps out a LOT but I feel bad and feel like I’m dumping the kids on grandma. I just need a little advice, I hope that others can relate to me with this, I know it doesn’t seem like it’s that much of an issue since it’s “just a name” but to me, it is one of the things that keeps me up at night stressing about.
P.S - if anyone has any name recommendations that fit with what I’ve said above ^, that would be very helpful
