Hello! I’m new to Nameberry, and searching everywhere for a first name my husband and I might like to go with the middle name of [name]Etta[/name]. Any ideas? We think [name]Etta[/name] is such a great name, plus it’s the name of a great-grandmother we’d love to honor.
We might just end up with [name]Etta[/name] as a first name – if so, we’d go with the middle name [name]Rose[/name]. But I’m just not sure about it. Our very favorite baby name for a girl is [name]Nora[/name], but I’m not sure about [name]Nora[/name] [name]Etta[/name] as a combination.
We tend to like names that are classic, but just slightly off the beaten path. Our son’s name is [name]Henry[/name], which we love. (Didn’t realize when we named him that it would get so popular! [name]Henry[/name]'s name is one of my reservations about giving our daughter the first name [name]Etta[/name], btw, since it can be a diminutive of [name]Henrietta[/name].) Other baby girl names we’ve seriously considered are [name]June[/name], [name]Rose[/name], [name]Rosemary[/name], and [name]Iris[/name].
