If you were going to deliver on the forth of [name]July[/name] what name would you use?
I would probably use [name]Elizabeth[/name]! So much versatility, classic, and has a lot of American history associations ([name]Betsy[/name] [name]Ross[/name], the nn [name]Libby[/name] which could be a nod to “liberty”, etc. Or maybe just a FN I loved and a patriotic MN–something like [name]Ariana[/name] [name]Liberty[/name], [name]Isabelle[/name] [name]Free[/name], [name]Arabella[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name], [name]Posey[/name] [name]Abigail[/name] (for [name]Abigail[/name] [name]Adams[/name]), [name]Julia[/name] Mayflower, etc., something like that.
My first thought was [name]Liberty[/name], but that’s a bit cheesy… However, I love the nickname [name]Libby[/name], and ash’s suggestion of [name]Elizabeth[/name] is quite sweet! I like [name]Abigail[/name] as well.
[name]Martha[/name] for [name]Martha[/name] [name]Washington[/name]? [name]Molly[/name] for [name]Molly[/name] Pitcher?
I agree with the above-- the first name I thought of was [name]Liberty[/name] with nn [name]Libby[/name]. I also have a friend who has an adopted daughter from [name]China[/name]. While her “official” birthday was [name]May[/name] 1 (birth of Communist Party), the pediatrician said she was probably born in the summer. So my friend gave her [name]July[/name] 4th as a birthday and named her [name]Mary[/name]. Another suggestion is to use [name]Julia[/name], [name]Julie[/name], [name]Julianne[/name], [name]Juliet[/name], etc. since [name]July[/name] comes from that same Latin root.
[name]Virginia[/name]!! It would definitely be [name]Virginia[/name]. Since so much of the US history takes place in [name]Virginia[/name] it just seems like the perfect name for a 4th of [name]July[/name] [name]Baby[/name].
We are due with a girl right around the 4th of [name]July[/name] as well. I don’t really want to get cheesy with the name but we’ve played around with related names for fun. [name]Liberty[/name], [name]Ruby[/name] ([name]July[/name]'s birthstone), [name]Summer[/name], [name]America[/name], [name]Blue[/name], [name]Glory[/name] (or [name]Gloria[/name]), [name]Freedom[/name] ([name]Frieda[/name]), [name]Justice[/name], [name]Hope[/name]…
[name]Liberty[/name] or Independence
Yeah I’m really not going for cheesy either. The most tempted I’ve been is to add an R name in so her initials would spell free. Have you picked a name yet? We are pretty set on [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Eldrid[/name].
[name]Just[/name] for fun though I’m still curious what others would choose.
Independence, nn [name]Indy[/name]
Oo <3 Felicity but im biased as that is my dds mn 
Also love your idea of FREE initials, I hope you do that!

[name]Love[/name] the suggestion of [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Rose[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]!!!
When I saw your subject I thought of Yankee Doodle Dandy the song, you know “born on the fourth of [name]July[/name]…”
[name]George[/name] M. Cohan
[name]Georgia[/name] M.
[name]Georgia[/name] [name]Mae[/name]
But in real life, if you didnt want to dedicate a whole name to a word association, I like the idea of incorporating [name]Ruby[/name] as a mn for the [name]July[/name] birthstone or perhaps [name]Martha[/name] ([name]Washington[/name]) or [name]Abigail[/name] ([name]Adams[/name]) as a mn.
My niece has this birthday and they named her [name]Scarlett[/name]. They were down to three names – [name]Scarlett[/name], [name]Stella[/name] and [name]Sienna[/name]. They picked [name]Scarlett[/name] because it reminded them of “[name]RED[/name], white and blue” =)
I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Ruby[/name], though!
Oh I love the idea of [name]Scarlett[/name] for [name]Red[/name] white and blue!
And I swear I almost jumped out of my chair and said “[name]Scarlett[/name] [name]Bianca[/name] [name]Blue[/name]!” (now I’m just getting silly…but it’s surprisingly pretty!)
I was almost born on the 4 of july. If i was born 5 minutes earlier I would have been, but I’m Canadian so… we celebrate [name]Canada[/name] [name]Day[/name] on july 1! Anyways, I was thinking [name]Ruby[/name] (my birthstone), [name]Liberty[/name], [name]Hope[/name] and [name]Summer[/name].
So I live in Europe and I’m really curious: Would you actually give your child a different name just because it was born on that day?
No, I would have chosen [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] regardless of when she was born. I just think it would be interesting to note the holiday with an extra middle. Joyfulmomto8, I too love [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Rose[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name]. However on DH’s side of the family the name [name]Rose[/name] has a very tarnished and tragic story so I can’t use it.
I dont know if I would change my baby name because he/she was born on the fourth of [name]July[/name]. I do love the name [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] by the way, its really pretty. I also love [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Rose[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name], too bad you cant use it. Congrats on your baby girl
