First Baby— Alliteration

Hello! [name_f]My[/name_f] husband and I are due with our first baby in [name_f]April[/name_f]. We do not yet know the gender, so we are working to choose a name either way.

For a boy, we are set on [name_m]Grover[/name_m] for a first name with the possible nn of [name_u]Grove[/name_u]. We haven’t picked a middle yet, but it will start with a G. We are pretty set on alliteration for all of our children’s names.

For a girl, we have a few names that we like

[name_f]Millicent[/name_f] [name_f]Meadow[/name_f]
[name_f]Freya[/name_f] [name_f]Fern[/name_f] OR
[name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Fern[/name_f]

However, I really want to use some form of [name_f]Barbara[/name_f] to honor my late grandmother who passed away this year. We love the nn [name_f]Birdie[/name_f], so any variation of [name_f]Barbara[/name_f] would have a nn of [name_f]Birdie[/name_f]. Originally, our plan was to keep [name_f]Barbara[/name_f] as a first name, with the following options:

[name_f]Barbara[/name_f] [name_u]Blue[/name_u]
[name_f]Barbara[/name_f] [name_f]Blossom[/name_f]
[name_f]Barbara[/name_f] [name_f]Bloom[/name_f]
[name_f]Barbara[/name_f] [name_f]Bea[/name_f]

I am having second thoughts of [name_f]Barbara[/name_f] for a first name and trying to find a first name that I like and fits my style with either [name_f]Barbara[/name_f] or [name_f]Barb[/name_f] as a middle name. [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] would still be the name that she would go by.

I love [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Barb[/name_f], but my husband does not like [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] or [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f].

Any suggestions for B names that would go with [name_f]Barbara[/name_f] or [name_f]Barb[/name_f] for a middle? Also, feel free to suggest other alliteration names you think might fit my style :wink: Also would love suggestions for G middle names for [name_m]Grover[/name_m]! TIA
