I’m having a baby girl in less than a month, and I can’t agree on a name with my husband. Our other kids are named [name]Dane[/name] [name]Anders[/name], [name]Soleil[/name] [name]Jean[/name], and [name]Colton[/name] [name]Gage[/name]. I’m not too concerned about the name matching her siblings. We have a three syllable last name that starts with an L. We would possibly like to honor relatives by using the names [name]Ann[/name], Mae, or [name]Elsie[/name] as a middle name, but this isn’t necessary. We also like first names that can use [name]Annie[/name] or Mae as a nickname, but that’s not a requirement. Here are a few names that we can both tolerate:
[name]Rowan[/name]
[name]Dakota[/name]
Maylee
[name]Hayden[/name]
[name]Emmaline[/name]
[name]Susannah[/name]
Mayanna
[name]Mayella[/name]
[name]Carolina[/name]
[name]Ashton[/name]
[name]Monroe[/name]
[name]Rayna[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]
[name]Quincy[/name]
[name]Skylar[/name]
[name]Marin[/name]
[name]Annora[/name]
Any suggestions using these names, a portmanteau of these, or other names you’ve heard?
Thanks:)
I like [name]Annora[/name] and [name]Susannah[/name] to get the nn [name]Annie[/name]. [name]Susannah[/name] [name]Elsie[/name] and [name]Annora[/name] [name]Elsie[/name] are lovely.
If you’re pronouncing it care-oh-LEEN-uh, that’s my favorite. If not, or if you just really want an [name]Ann[/name] first name, I like [name]Susanna[/name]. I also like [name]Marin[/name] and [name]Violet[/name] but not sure about [name]Violet[/name] with an L last name. It would depend on the name I guess.
My husband likes western place names, so he’d probably like [name]Montana[/name]. I like [name]Jana[/name], but he hated that. He’s been pushing for names with 4+ syllables, and doesn’t understand why that would be a mouthful when combined with a long last name.:D. Oh well…we have an agreement that he picks the boys’ names and I pick the girls’ names, so I get the final say. :D…even though I was trying to pick something that he doesn’t despise.
[name]Susannah[/name] and [name]Annora[/name] are my favorites from your list.
[name]How[/name] about:
[name]Johanna[/name] [name]Mae[/name] - nn [name]Annie[/name]
[name]Rosemary[/name] - nn [name]Mae[/name] or [name]Romy[/name]
[name]Marianne[/name] - nn [name]Mae[/name] or [name]Annie[/name]
[name]Ann[/name] [name]Marie[/name] - nn [name]Annie[/name]
[name]Magnolia[/name]
[name]Margaret[/name]
[name]Margo[/name]
[name]Marion[/name]
[name]Marian[/name]
[name]Mabel[/name]
[name]Mae[/name]- I think this is so sweet and vintage even on its own!
Out of your choices I love [name]Susannah[/name], [name]Carolina[/name], [name]Violet[/name], [name]Marin[/name], and [name]Annora[/name]
[name]Annika[/name] is my favorite [name]Ann[/name]-name. I also like using [name]Elise[/name] or [name]Elysia[/name] to honor [name]Elsie[/name]. [name]Annika[/name] [name]Elise[/name] is a good combo.
There’s always [name]Anneliese[/name] or [name]Annabeth[/name] if you like portmanteaus!
My top fav. from your list are Maylee nn [name]Mae[/name], [name]Dakota[/name], and [name]Hayden[/name]. So you could do Maylee [name]Ann[/name] nn [name]Mae[/name]. I think that’s really pretty! You could also do [name]Baylee[/name] [name]Ann[/name] too! But on the other hand I don’t know if that would sound right with a last name that starts with L so… I think [name]Dakota[/name] [name]Mae[/name] sounds good
The Ones I love:
[name]Rowan[/name]: I’ve seen [name]Roman[/name] for a boy, but never [name]Rowan[/name] for a girl. [name]How[/name] cute!
[name]Susannah[/name]: This has a huge western feel to it, yet it’s still a very pretty name.
[name]Ashton[/name]: I can’t believe no one has commented on this name yet. It’d be really cute on a girl.
[name]Monroe[/name]: Classy name (:
[name]Quincy[/name]: This name is unique sounding.
[name]Annora[/name]: This name would be perfect for the nn [name]Ann[/name] or [name]Annie[/name]
Combo Suggestions (fn and mn come from your list and mine):
[name]Rowan[/name] [name]Mae[/name]
[name]Annora[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] nn [name]Ann[/name] or [name]Annie[/name]
[name]Julianna[/name] [name]Mae[/name] nn [name]Ann[/name]/[name]Annie[/name]/[name]Anna[/name] or [name]Julie[/name]/[name]Julia[/name]
