I want to add [name]Gemma[/name], [name]Katherine[/name], [name]Holly[/name], and [name]Phoebe[/name] to my list. Any suggestions? Here’s a little more info:
[name]Gemma[/name]: I love this name! My only concern is that my best friends’ name is [name]Emma[/name]… do you think that’s weird/awkward? I’m not going to have kids for a long time, so should I even care?
[name]Katherine[/name]: I really like this name, but only as a middle.
[name]Holly[/name]: I’m really struggling with this name. At first, I was debating between [name]Hallie[/name] and [name]Holly[/name], but I think I’ve settled on [name]Holly[/name] (for now anyway). I had [name]Holly[/name] [name]Margaret[/name] on list, then I changed it to [name]Holly[/name] [name]Virginia[/name]… but someone pointed out that both [name]Holly[/name] and [name]Virginia[/name] are word names (plant, state), so I scrapped that. What do you think I should do?
[name]Phoebe[/name]: I’m definitely crushing on this name… but I don’t know if I love it yet. I need a great middle name to convince me to keep it.
[name]Gemma[/name]: I like it! It reminds me of the pretty actress of tess of the D’Urbervilles, [name]Gemma[/name] arterton. I dont see a problem its not like she your daughter. If that was your daughter’s name then I would think that would be a little too close. Some suggestions- [name]Gianna[/name] [name]Giselle[/name], ruby (since [name]Gemma[/name] means precious stone).
[name]Katherine[/name]- [name]Love[/name] it! A classic name with a lot of history. [name]Love[/name] the meaning of pure. Sugesstion [name]Katrina[/name], [name]Catalina[/name],
[name]Holly[/name]- I like [name]Holly[/name] [name]Margaret[/name].
[name]Phoebe[/name]- [name]Phoebe[/name] [name]Michelle[/name], [name]Phoebe[/name] [name]Anne[/name], [name]Phoebe[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name].
[name]Hope[/name] I helped. Good luck!
[name]Gemma[/name]- probably my least favorite of this list. I am not sure what turns me off this name, but it’s never grown on me.
[name]Katherine[/name]- feminine, classic, with a great nn option: [name]Kate[/name]! love it.
[name]Holly[/name]- I personally prefer [name]Hallie[/name] but [name]Holly[/name] is a lovely name, if a bit wintery.
[name]Phoebe[/name]- has long been towards the top of my list! What about [name]Phoebe[/name] [name]Matilda[/name]? [name]Phoebe[/name] [name]Kathleen[/name]? [name]Phoebe[/name] [name]Virginia[/name]?
[name]Gemma[/name] - love it! Probably my favorite from your list, or tied with [name]Phoebe[/name] for my favorite. I think it could actually be a nice nod to your friend, so I would definitely keep it! Lately I’ve liked [name]Gemma[/name] [name]Felicity[/name] and [name]Gemma[/name] [name]Cecily[/name] as combos… do either of those appeal? I used to love [name]Gemma[/name] [name]Corinne[/name], [name]Gemma[/name] [name]Sophie[/name], and [name]Gemma[/name] [name]Adelaide[/name], too.
[name]Katherine[/name] - I love the classic appeal of this. Only one more thing would make it both more classic and more spunky at once–[name]Catherine[/name] nn [name]Cate[/name]! I like the “C” so much more, personally. I love short-and-sweet Italian names with [name]Catherine[/name]/[name]Katherine[/name]–I think [name]Catherine[/name] [name]Sofia[/name] and [name]Catherine[/name] [name]Elena[/name] are pretty much to die for.
[name]Holly[/name] - both [name]Hallie[/name] and [name]Holly[/name] are a bit dated for me, but I do prefer [name]Holly[/name] of the two. I don’t have a problem with [name]Holly[/name] [name]Virginia[/name]… what about [name]Holly[/name] [name]Victoria[/name]? Less thing-y.
[name]Phoebe[/name] - love! I used to hate it but I’ve grown to love it. It’s spunky and fresh and timeless and a bit ancient all at once. I would love to meet a [name]Phoebe[/name]. [name]Phoebe[/name] [name]Alice[/name] and [name]Phoebe[/name] [name]Kate[/name] are all I can think of right now. [name]Olivia[/name] [name]Phoebe[/name] [name]Claire[/name] was quite a huge consideration for my [name]Olivia[/name] combo–I think [name]Phoebe[/name] [name]Olivia[/name], [name]Phoebe[/name] [name]Olive[/name], and [name]Phoebe[/name] [name]Claire[/name] would be very sweet.
Love Gemma and Phoebe- both are beautiful names.
I like Katherine as a mn, prefer Kate. Holly is NMS unless baby was a Christmas baby.
