Looking for a classic, pretty, not-too-trendy girl’s name…
I am slightly (too) conservative and am tempted some of the braver choices on my list (Beatrice, Georgiana) but am a bit hesitant about using them and think that maybe I prefer them on other people’s children. Does that make sense?
For example, I am drawn to Katharine/Katherine and Anna (I was given a classic name). However, I worry that Anna and Katharine may be a bit overused or a bit boring? Or rather, are they classics which will serve a person beautifully across their life?
Do I push the boundaries and go with a name like Georgiana or is that the type of name which is a bit too much in real life – for example, we don’t own a manor house in Devonshire,
P.S. [name]Jane[/name] and [name]Kate[/name] are both departed grandmothers’ names
Shortlist:
My classic / conservatives are:
Katharine Beatrice Jane (Kate, Kit)
Anna Katherine Jane
My adventurous (for me) picks are:
Georgiana Kate(Georgia or Anna)
Beatrice Katherine Jane(Bea, Triss or Tricia Kate)
I really like all of these choices but the [name]Katherine[/name] [name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Jane[/name] and [name]Georgiana[/name] [name]Kate[/name] are my favorites. [name]Katherine[/name] [name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Jane[/name] has the right flow and the names are beautiful. However ometimes less (2 names VS 3) is more when it comes to substance and sophistication and I think [name]Georgiana[/name] paired with [name]Kate[/name] is pretty perfect. Theyre all lovely choices though and I wouldnt worry about your style being too conservative, I tend to be conservative too and I fear that when I have kids if I go out on a whim I will regret it because by nature I am not that type of namer!
Conservative naming is boring to some but what really matters is who the person bearing the name is and sometimes I think its better to raise a child that stands out instead of giving them a name that stands out (not sure if that makes sense). I enjoy seeing the more adventurous names but theyre not for me and Im fine with that My advice is try and work an adventurous name into one of your combos and sit with it for awhile to see how you really feel.
I love [name]Anna[/name] & [name]Beatrice[/name] & [name]Kate[/name] & [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Adele[/name] makes me think of the very popular singer…I think the name is going to rise in the ranks big time this year, besides it really isn’t my style.
[name]Georgiana[/name] is cute, I like [name]Georgia[/name] much more though.
Maybe:
I really like [name]Anna[/name] the best, and your combo of [name]Anna[/name] [name]Katherine[/name] [name]Jane[/name] is very beautiful! I think that [name]Anna[/name] is very underused as a first name, and I really like it! Best of luck with your decision!
Yes, I think you may be right. Especially since she just cleaned up at the grammies (or whichever it was) last week! Good point. I have taken Adele off the list because in all honestly I don’t think I like it as much as the others.
