Getting close...I think?

Girl Names
1

My DH and I are trying to get to her name…there are Three that we like a lot. All are family names–which we love (that is how we named our boys too)…

[name]Blythe[/name] [name]Anna[/name]
[name]Alice[/name] [name]Bradley[/name]
[name]Poppy[/name] Islet

Thoughts?

I like [name]Blythe[/name] [name]Anna[/name] and [name]Alice[/name] [name]Bradley[/name]. [name]Poppy[/name] and Islet are sweet names separately but together make me think of Popeye. Islet [name]Poppy[/name] might be better…
Good luck!

[name]Blythe[/name] [name]Anna[/name] is beautiful.

I love both [name]Blythe[/name] [name]Anna[/name] and [name]Alice[/name] [name]Bradley[/name]. I think Islet is really cool, but I find [name]Poppy[/name] a little cutesy or unsubstantial.

5

I really like [name]Blythe[/name] [name]Anna[/name] and [name]Alice[/name] [name]Bradley[/name] but [name]Poppy[/name] Islet doesn’t work as well for me. It flows together too much I think.

6

I love [name]Alice[/name]! Not sure I would go with [name]Bradley[/name] as the middle name. [name]How[/name] about [name]Alice[/name] [name]Anna[/name] or [name]Alice[/name] [name]Blythe[/name]? [name]Blythe[/name] [name]Anna[/name] is also very pretty.

[name]Blythe[/name] [name]Anna[/name]! Beautiful.

[name]Alice[/name] is my DH’s grandmother (d) and [name]Bradley[/name] is my paternal grandmother’s (d) maiden name (she is [name]Gretchen[/name]–and my dad does not want me to use it–Quite honestly, I am OK with that :wink: ).

Not much of a fan of [name]Blythe[/name] and [name]Alice[/name] cause I find them to be for older woman and I have a hard time picturing a baby, young girl and even young adult with these names. But that’s just my opinion. [name]Poppy[/name] reminds me of poppy seeds. What about [name]Anna[/name] [name]Bradly[/name]? [name]Anna[/name] Islet? I also think combining [name]Anna[/name] and [name]Bradley[/name] to make Annaley ([name]Anna[/name]-[name]Lee[/name]) Islet…

I love [name]Alice[/name] [name]Bradley[/name].

11

My vote goes to [name]Alice[/name] [name]Bradley[/name]. I also like [name]Blythe[/name] [name]Anna[/name], but it runs together a bit and sounds like one long name. I prefer [name]Alice[/name] [name]Bradley[/name] for the literary associations with [name]Alice[/name] in Wonderland, and I’m a huge fan of maiden names in the first or middle spot.

I like [name]Alice[/name] [name]Bradley[/name]-- the flow is melodious, and it’s a nice mix of the classic and the unexpected. [name]Blythe[/name] is pretty in meaning and on paper, but a bit blunt to the ear. [name]Anna[/name] doesn’t do much to soften it (maybe because it blurs easily into blythanna?) [name]Poppy[/name] to mean is insubstantial and childish… And makes me think of opium. I understand what you were getting at with Islet, but don’t care for it, even though it somewhat grounds [name]Poppy[/name],

I echo previous posters-- maybe play with the combos a bit more?

[name]Alice[/name] [name]Blythe[/name]
[name]Anna[/name] [name]Blythe[/name]
[name]Blythe[/name] [name]Bradley[/name]
[name]Blythe[/name] + something ornate, like [name]Corisande[/name], [name]Isabeau[/name], [name]Alessandra[/name]…

[name]Alice[/name] [name]Bradley[/name] is lovely. Family names are always a plus!

[name]Blythe[/name] [name]Anna[/name] is cute, too - but I prefer [name]Blithe[/name], since that’s how the word is usually spelt.

The three name combinations are important to us for different reasons. There is a reason for each one…if we change the combinations (too much)–it causes issues. Spellings must stay the same. These are ALL important family affiliations–one from my side and one from DH’s side.
