Finally, a Girl!

After 6 years, 4 mischievous boys, 3 pregnancies, and too much testosterone for a woman to bear, I’m finally going to be welcoming a little girl!

But, seeing as I’m so used to having boys, I’ve neglected to choose a girl name and now that we’re almost 7 months in with no name, my husband and I have decided that we defiantly need to find that perfect one.

We’re struggling.

My hubby loves, loves, loves traditional names, while I love unique names - so that when you call their name at the playground, they’re the only one that comes running. I don’t want super weird names though - I’d prefer not to scar my baby girl forever.

My name is [name_u]Allison[/name_u] “[name_f]Ally[/name_f]” [name_f]Audrey[/name_f], my husband is [name_m]Matt[/name_m] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m], and our sons are: [name_m]Timothy[/name_m] “[name_m]Tim[/name_m]” [name_m]Joseph[/name_m], [name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]David[/name_m], twins [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] “[name_u]Alex[/name_u]” [name_u]James[/name_u] and [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] “[name_m]Ben[/name_m]” [name_u]Michael[/name_u].

(The second name with each of those being their middle names.)

We already have a middle name for her ([name_f]Diana[/name_f]).

The only name we can really agree on is [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] (call her [name_f]Lottie[/name_f]) but that was decided before the new little [name_f]Princess[/name_f] was born and I feel like everyone is going to be naming their daughters after her. (Plus [name_f]Diana[/name_f] is also one of the [name_f]Princess[/name_f]’ middle names - [name_f]Kate[/name_f] and I must think alike.)

If anyone, anyone at all, could pitch some ideas, that would be great!

I agree with you that [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f] would be too much.

You could go with a variant of [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], like [name_f]Charlize[/name_f], [name_f]Charlene[/name_f], [name_f]Carlotta[/name_f], but they’re not really the same feel.

Or with a classic, regal, but underused, name:
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]
[name_f]Jacqueline[/name_f]
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f]Katherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Veronica[/name_f]
[name_f]Virginia[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] (or the spunkier [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], or the rarer [name_f]Beate[/name_f] (bee-ah-teh)
[name_f]Alexandrina[/name_f]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Victoria[/name_f]
[name_f]Maude[/name_f]
[name_f]Blanche[/name_f]

Good luck and congratulations on your girl

I love [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] with your boys names, but do agree that [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f] is a bit too similar. I also think your boys names are EXTREMELY classic, so I would go along the same lines for a girl…

[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] “[name_f]Letty[/name_f]”?

Or…

[name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] (or [name_f]Lucienne[/name_f], [name_f]Lucille[/name_f], etc.)
[name_f]Katherine[/name_f] ‘[name_u]Kit[/name_u]’
[name_f]Fiona[/name_f]
[name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] ‘[name_f]Maddy[/name_f]’

[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f] is so pretty, but I agree that it is a bit too much.

[name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f]

I think [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f] is fine. Honestly, just because [name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] named her daughter [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] doesn’t mean that has to be everyone’s association with the name for the rest of time. If I heard the name [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f], a princess in a country that I don’t even live in, is never going to be my first thought. I also highly doubt anyone who knows you believes you are trying to replicate the name. I think [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] is absolutely gorgeous and I say go for it.

Some that have already been mentioned but here it goes

[name_f]Audrey[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f] -[name_f]Rose[/name_f] is often used as a middle name but it’s pretty as a first name too.

[name_f]Victoria[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f]

That’s alot I know but it might give you some ideas.[name_m]Even[/name_m] if you decide to go with [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f] .It’s very pretty and if you want it I don’t see a problem with going with it but if you feel like you don’t that’s good too it what you and your family feel comfortable with that counts.

[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f] -very pretty

All of your boys have very clean (no frills and no alternate spellings) and classic/down to earth (e.g. [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] instead of [name_m]Benton[/name_m]) names. They are also all Biblical. Including every one of their middles, and even your husband’s name. So, I would give your girl a name in that style, or as close to it as possible. She will be distinct in a house of boys due to just being a girl! So I wouldn’t choose a name ending in “ia” “ina” or elle, ella, bella, or belle. I like [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] because it’s a strong, classic name that doesn’t have those common “frills”. With [name_f]Diana[/name_f] I agree it’s just too much “[name_f]Princess[/name_f]” right now, unfortunately.

[name_m]Tim[/name_m], [name_m]Peter[/name_m], [name_u]Alex[/name_u], [name_m]Ben[/name_m] and

[name_f]Sarah[/name_f]

[name_f]Marielle[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f]
[name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] [name_f]Diana[/name_f]

I like [name_f]Martha[/name_f] too .

Also [name_f]Rachael[/name_f] is just a slightly different spelling for the name.

[name_f]Rebecca[/name_f] is also pretty.
