[name]Hi[/name] there,
My DH LOVES short, cute girls names - we already have a son [name]August[/name] and I feel any name for our daughter to be born in 4 days (yikes!) should have some depth to it as well.
He is really pushing for [name]Macy[/name], [name]Sam[/name] or [name]Pippa[/name] - all cute nn’s but not really names. Can you help me with some good ‘real’ names to go with these?
Thanks,
[name]Georgia[/name]
You have some great nicknames to work with! I agree that a more formal name would work better with big brother [name]August[/name].
For [name]Macy[/name], pretty much any M- name you like could work (favorites starred):
[name]Margaret[/name]*
[name]Magdalene[/name]*
[name]Mary[/name]/[name]Marie[/name]
[name]Mae[/name]
[name]Matilda[/name]
[name]Margot[/name]
[name]Maeve[/name]
[name]Maris[/name]
[name]Maren[/name]
[name]Maude[/name]
[name]Marissa[/name]
[name]Melisande[/name]
[name]Marina[/name]
[name]Mariel[/name]
[name]Marlena[/name]
[name]Marguerite[/name]
[name]Maxine[/name]
[name]Minerva[/name]
[name]Magnolia[/name]
[name]Marcella[/name]*
[name]Miranda[/name]
Or something with a m- in the middle, like:
[name]Amaris[/name]*
[name]Amara[/name]
[name]Amelie[/name]/[name]Amelia[/name]
For [name]Pippa[/name], P- names will work:
[name]Phillipa[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name]*
[name]Persephone[/name]
[name]Portia[/name]*
[name]Pilar[/name]
[name]Paloma[/name]
[name]Phoebe[/name] (a bit of a stretch, but it could work)
[name]Perdita[/name]
[name]Priscilla[/name]
[name]Palmira[/name]
For [name]Sam[/name], these may be more of a stretch, but almost anything starting with an S- could work. My guess is that everyone will assume her full name is [name]Samantha[/name] regardless of what you choose.
[name]Sabrina[/name]
[name]Sabine[/name]/[name]Sabina[/name]
[name]Scarlett[/name]
[name]Sebastiane[/name]
[name]Saskia[/name]
[name]Simone[/name]*
[name]Tamsin[/name]
Best wishes! [name]Hope[/name] these spur some ideas!
