Due December 2013... Opinions

Girl Names
1

So we still haven’t told anyone we are pregnant. I will be 12 weeks at the end of the month so we will be doing a big reveal Memorial Weekend when we go to visit family. However, not being able to talk about the awful morning sickness or baby names is making me crazy.

We have two children already… [name]Alex[/name]@ndra ([name]Allie[/name]) and Keeg@n… LN is P@rker Our styles for boys and girls names are VERY different.

Here are our girls names so far…

[name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Grace[/name] P@rker (NN would prob be G.G., [name]Genna[/name] or [name]Evie[/name])
Anavieve/Annevieve [name]Grace[/name] P@rker (not sure I would actually use it but its a family tree find and its similar to my favorite [name]Genevieve[/name])
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Grace[/name] P@rker (dont like the nn [name]Penny[/name]… slowly fell in love with this name after repeated exposure while watching Criminal Minds… love Ms. [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Garcia[/name] from the show)
[name]Juliette[/name] [name]Grace[/name] P@rker (No nicknames because of 13 year old niece who goes by [name]Jules[/name] and JuJu and we see often… not even sure I would use it because its so similar to nieces name)
[name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Grace[/name] P@rker (No nicknames because I dont like [name]Charlie[/name], [name]Carlie[/name], or [name]Lottie[/name])
[name]Madelyn[/name] [name]Grace[/name] P@rker (NN would be [name]Mads[/name]/[name]Maddie[/name])
[name]Madeline[/name] [name]Grace[/name] P@rker (NN would be [name]Mads[/name]/[name]Maddie[/name])
[name]Gemma[/name] [name]Grace[/name] P@rker (Might occasionally call her [name]Gem[/name])
[name]Brenna[/name] [name]Grace[/name] P@rker (Might occasionally call her [name]Brenn[/name])

Guilty Pleasure Names… (not sure if I would use them, but I still like them)
[name]Adelyn[/name] [name]Grace[/name] P@rker (After all the combined spellings, so popular but this is my husbands absolute favorite and I really like it too… and we would call her Adelyn, no nickname)
Everleigh [name]Grace[/name] P@rker ([name]Love[/name] the sound of this name, but can a grown woman pull it off?)
[name]December[/name] [name]Grace[/name] P@rker (Is this name just too out there? Does the double ER in [name]December[/name] and P@rker sound off?)

I am open to other suggestions as well as opinions on the names I’ve listed! Thanks so much!!!

[name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Grace[/name] P@rker (NN would prob be G.G., [name]Genna[/name] or [name]Evie[/name])
I like [name]Genevieve[/name] but I would hate seeing it diminished to “G.G.” Other nn possibilities could be [name]Eve[/name], [name]Viv[/name], and [name]Genna[/name]'s not that bad.

Anavieve/Annevieve [name]Grace[/name] P@rker (not sure I would actually use it but its a family tree find and its similar to my favorite [name]Genevieve[/name])
Pretty.

[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Grace[/name] P@rker (dont like the nn [name]Penny[/name]… slowly fell in love with this name after repeated exposure while watching Criminal Minds… love Ms. [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Garcia[/name] from the show)
I do not like this name, mostly for what you mentioned. [name]Penny[/name] is not a good nn and there are pretty much no other nicknames for this name. [name]Penelope[/name] is a huge mouthful.

[name]Juliette[/name] [name]Grace[/name] P@rker (No nicknames because of 13 year old niece who goes by [name]Jules[/name] and JuJu and we see often… not even sure I would use it because its so similar to nieces name)
Personally prefer the spelling [name]Juliet[/name] (doesn’t seem so pretentious). I like this name but I don’t think [name]Grace[/name] goes with it.

[name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Grace[/name] P@rker (No nicknames because I dont like [name]Charlie[/name], [name]Carlie[/name], or [name]Lottie[/name])
I like [name]Charlotte[/name] but I feel that a) it’s too popular and b) whether you like it or not it’ll be shortened to [name]Charlie[/name] by someone. I also don’t feel like [name]Grace[/name] goes with it.

[name]Madelyn[/name] [name]Grace[/name] P@rker (NN would be [name]Mads[/name]/[name]Maddie[/name])
[name]Madelyn[/name] is a huge no for me.

[name]Madeline[/name] [name]Grace[/name] P@rker (NN would be [name]Mads[/name]/[name]Maddie[/name])
Same goes for this name. [name]Madelyn[/name], [name]Madeline[/name] and [name]Madison[/name] are names I cannot believe are still being used.

[name]Gemma[/name] [name]Grace[/name] P@rker (Might occasionally call her [name]Gem[/name])
NMS.

[name]Brenna[/name] [name]Grace[/name] P@rker (Might occasionally call her [name]Brenn[/name])
This isn’t a bad name, but I do feel like it’s a 90s name. I do like [name]Bryn[/name] though.

As for [name]Adelyn[/name], Everleigh and [name]December[/name]… I think [name]Adelyn[/name] will spend her entire life having to spell out and pronounce her name to everybody. Everleigh I like, but prefer the spelling [name]Everly[/name]. And [name]December[/name] I actually really like, you could even call her [name]Ember[/name] for short if you wanted to! Because baby will be born in [name]December[/name] I think it might be a bit much, but I think it’s cute.

You have some lovely names picked out! My two favorite names from your list would have to be [name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Grace[/name] and [name]Penelope[/name] [name]Grace[/name]. Good luck deciding and congratulations on being pregnant!

4

In my opinion, the best name flow-wise is [name]Madeline[/name] [name]Grace[/name] P*arker.

5

I like [name]Madeline[/name] [name]Grace[/name] best, I think.

6

Congratulations!!! You have a very nice list!! Really I like them all… but my favorite would be [name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Grace[/name]! I just love it, and it flows very well!!

I really like your list. :slight_smile: My favourite would be [name]Genevieve[/name]. [name]Alex[/name]@ndra and [name]Genevieve[/name] sounds so great together.

[name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Grace[/name] P@rker (NN would prob be G.G., [name]Genna[/name] or [name]Evie[/name])
Anavieve/Annevieve [name]Grace[/name] P@rker - I like it. [name]Just[/name] heard it today. This would be my 3rd choice.
[name]Penelope[/name] [name]Grace[/name] P@rker - I love this combo, but have the same problem with you. Dislike [name]Penny[/name]…
[name]Juliette[/name] [name]Grace[/name] P@rker - have to say no. [name]Juliette[/name] and [name]Jules[/name] sounds close. Your family may call her by her full name, but maybe someone elsse will shorten it to [name]Jules[/name] too.
[name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Grace[/name] P@rker - my 2nd from your list. It’s classic and beautiful.
[name]Madelyn[/name] [name]Grace[/name] P@rker - prefer [name]Madeline[/name] spelling.
[name]Madeline[/name] [name]Grace[/name] P@rker - pretty!
[name]Gemma[/name] [name]Grace[/name] P@rker - sounds a bit short next to [name]Alex[/name]@ndra
[name]Brenna[/name] [name]Grace[/name] P@rker - same as above.

[name]Adelyn[/name] - Prefer [name]Adeline[/name].
Everleigh - like. I think it’ll age well.
[name]December[/name] - dislike, sorry.

Thanks everyone for the input! Looks like the top two are [name]Genevieve[/name] and [name]Madeline[/name]. Those were my top two as well with [name]December[/name] rounding out my top 3.

I am not sure what I like so much about [name]December[/name]. I was looking at one of my forms and it said [name]December[/name]; [name]Parker[/name] and I just kinda liked the way it sounded. I just dont know if I could name a real child [name]December[/name] but I really like the sound of it!

9

I’m a fan of alliterations so I’m instantly attracted to [name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Grace[/name] and [name]Gemma[/name] [name]Grace[/name]. I also love [name]Brenna[/name] [name]Grace[/name]. [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Grace[/name] is nice but too common/popular.

10

[name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Grace[/name] or Annevieve [name]Grace[/name] would be my vote. There’s something about [name]Genevieve[/name] and [name]Alex[/name]@ndra that I like.

I love [name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Grace[/name] with your children’s names!
