[name_m]Hi[/name_m]!
We just found out we are having a daughter. But shockingly… we are having a hard time deciding on a name!
Our two main priorities is that it works well in Spanish and [name_f]English[/name_f] and that we use the middle name of [name_u]Louise[/name_u]. [name_u]Louise[/name_u] is the name of my deceased mother and baby is due on her birthday, so it’s important that we honor her in same way!
Our main choice is [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_u]Louise[/name_u]. We both love the name and my MIL is named [name_u]Nelly[/name_u], which is a way to honor both of our moms. However, my name is [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] and I only go by [name_f]Aly[/name_f].
I feel like [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] is a natural nickname for [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]. Is [name_f]Aly[/name_f] and [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] way too close? [name_m]Can[/name_m] we still use [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] but establish early on we won’t be using [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] at all?
I like [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_u]Louise[/name_u]. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband can’t stand [name_f]Ivy[/name_f].
[name_f]My[/name_f] husband likes [name_f]Lucia[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] with the nickname [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]. [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is my middle name and the name of my grandma that passed away a few weeks after we found out. I really like [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] but it doesn’t feel THE one to me.
Any other names that match our style and criteria?
Sorry for writing the next great American novel, ha!
TIA!
