So the baby is due any day now and it’s looking like we may be one of those couples deciding the name when we meet our little girl -which was not the plan.
I’d love some thoughts on our current name list.
Our most enduring candidate has been Kathryn. It’s a family name on both sides and I’ve always loved Kate as a nn, but I’m hesitant to use a name that’s so common.
Our other current favorites are Beatrix, Sabrina, Elowen, Miranda, and Rowan.
[name_f]Lyra[/name_f], [name_f]Grace[/name_f], and [name_f]Adelyn[/name_f] are the finalists for middle name.
[name_f]Nora[/name_f], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], and [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] were other names that we really liked but had to be rejected for various reasons.
I welcome your thoughts on combinations, the current list, or another name possibility.
Thank you!
I love [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]. It’s simple and beautiful. I’m for using the enduring name that you’ve always loved, and the fact that it’s a family name is a plus. [name_f]Kate[/name_f] is a great nn. I also love [name_f]Miranda[/name_f].
I second [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f], it’s lovely.
They’re all beautiful I love Elowyn [name_f]Grace[/name_f]
I like [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] the best! 
The others don’t really appeal to me. I like [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] (or even [name_f]Katherine[/name_f]/[name_f]Katharine[/name_f] or [name_f]Catharine[/name_f]), but I could never get into the [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f] spelling. I respect it for its family (I assume) ties, though.
I really love [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], and [name_f]Amelie[/name_f] from your rejected options, too, but if they’re not options anymore, [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] definitely gets my vote. I like [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] the best, I think, but [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] is nice, too. [name_m]Just[/name_m] not quite as striking, imo.
Good luck!
I have never seen [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] before but I think it is stunning! Paired with [name_f]Grace[/name_f] it makes a beautiful name. I also like [name_f]Catherine[/name_f], but like a previous poster, am not a fan of the [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f] spelling. [name_f]Sabrina[/name_f] is very pretty too. No matter what, your baby will have a lovely name!!
