Finally pregnant and Hubby wants to talk names!

Girl Names
1

Hello Berries! We’ve known since we adopted [name_f]Miri[/name_f] that we wanted to give her a sibling someday, and I’m finally pregnant! I’m only 2 months along so we don’t know the gender yet, but Hubby already wants to talk girl names (he’s sure it’s a girl). He’s listed a few that he really likes, but I’m not too keen on any of them. I love the ‘feel’ of them (if that makes any sense), so I would love to find names with the same feel if possible. Because [name_f]Mireille[/name_f]'s name isso unique (in the States), neither of us want to give the next baby/s common, everyday names. Any and all suggestions are greatly appriciated!

His list:
[name_f]Blythe[/name_f]
[name_f]Mavis[/name_f]
[name_f]Alys[/name_f] (this spelling only)
[name_f]Lyda[/name_f] (not Lydia)

Congrats on your pregnancy! I like the list you have. My favorite from them is [name_f]Blythe[/name_f]. [name_f]Mavis[/name_f] reminds me too much of [name_f]Mavis[/name_f] [name_m]Beacon[/name_m]…

I still like [name_f]Mavis[/name_f] better. [name_f]Mavis[/name_f] and [name_f]Miri[/name_f]

[name_f]Do[/name_f] you pronounce your kid’s name Mee-ray? If so, maybe another [name_m]French[/name_m] name would suit your family (none of your husband’s choices really fit with [name_f]Mireille[/name_f] imo)

I love so many of the suggestions you already got from the others and would like to add [name_f]Cecile[/name_f].

Ooo great list! I especially love [name_f]Lyda[/name_f].
[name_f]Miri[/name_f] and [name_f]Lyda[/name_f] are so pretty together.

Maybe you’d like [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]?

11

Maybe [name_f]Alessia[/name_f], [name_f]Vienna[/name_f] or [name_f]Francesca[/name_f]. [name_f]Mireille[/name_f] is stunning!

12

What about…

[name_f]Malia[/name_f]

[name_f]Elodie[/name_f]

I like [name_f]Mireille[/name_f] and [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f], but maybe the double M’s is too much.

[name_f]Freya[/name_f] is also nice with [name_f]Mireille[/name_f].

14

I like [name_f]Blythe[/name_f], [name_f]Mavis[/name_f], and [name_f]Alys[/name_f]. He has great taste.
[name_f]Mireille[/name_f] is gorgeous!
