Baby number 3

Hello all,

We are currently expecting number three and are having a hard time deciding on her name. We have two other children [name_f]Emma[/name_f] and [name_u]Nick[/name_u].

[name_f]Isla[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
[name_f]Holly[/name_f]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f]

[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] or [name_f]Lily[/name_f] :slight_smile:

I think [name_f]Isla[/name_f], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] & [name_f]Lily[/name_f] are nicest, and fit really well with siblings [name_f]Emma[/name_f] & [name_u]Nick[/name_u], but [name_f]Isla[/name_f] would be my favourite/first choice.

[name_f]Holly[/name_f] & [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] would be the least expected choices [name_f]IMO[/name_f], but I like both of them w/[name_f]Emma[/name_f] & [name_u]Nick[/name_u]. [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] seems the closest stylistically, then [name_f]Lily[/name_f], but both of those (especially [name_f]Lily[/name_f]) seem to be extremely popular & IDK how you feel about that. [name_f]Isla[/name_f] is (again just [name_f]IMO[/name_f]) probably in the middle range between [name_f]Holly[/name_f] & [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] at one end & [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] & [name_f]Lily[/name_f] at the other. Although [name_f]Holly[/name_f] is my favorite name of the five, I’d probably go w/[name_f]Ivy[/name_f], only because w/a [name_u]Nick[/name_u] [name_f]Holly[/name_f] may be too “Christmassy.” [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] has less of an obvious connection w/the holiday.

If I were to hear you call all three names out at the playground I would hear [name_f]Emma[/name_f], [name_u]Nick[/name_u], and [name_f]Lily[/name_f] or [name_f]Emma[/name_f], [name_u]Nick[/name_u] and [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and think they sound like they belong together as siblings. But I honestly like a lot of the names you listed. My favorites are [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], and [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]. I also really like [name_f]Isla[/name_f] (but I wouldn’t love spelling and pronouncing it to people all the time, but if that doesn’t bother you go for it.) For some reason I like [name_f]Holly[/name_f] more as a middle name.

I love [name_f]Isla[/name_f] with your current 2. But if you decide to go for a fourth you may have to pick another 4 letter name - I believe in 2 is a coincidence and 3 is a theme - So that being said I also [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] and [name_f]Holly[/name_f]. [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] would match [name_f]Emma[/name_f]'s popularity so that may also be something to consider?

My first choice would be [name_f]Emma[/name_f], [name_u]Nick[/name_u] and [name_f]Holly[/name_f] :). [name_f]Isla[/name_f] would be a very close second!!
