Getting close to meeting baby... any final suggestions?

Girl Names
1

I’m trying to offer myself some peace in these final weeks. My past 2 babies came at 35 and I’m nearly 38 weeks! I’d love to make it all the way, honestly, and even if I did, I think it’s time to step aside and try to stop panicking about her name before I meet her. I feel I have an OK list, hoping that meeting her will spark something beautiful and I’ll just know.

Some names that we like/love but cannot/will not use: Rose, Poppy, Ophelia, Seraphine, Lenora, Elowen, Honora, Helena, Cecily.
Some names that we are considering more seriously to pick when she’s here: Sylvie, Juliet, Maeve, Vanessa
Some names that we are considering more tenatively, possibly based on the above: Violet, Daphne, Marie
Middle is firm as Diana, not Diane, no variations as this is an honor for my late mom.

I’ve been following your posts and love the classic, familiar vibes of your other kids’ names. After reading this post, one name that immediately sprang to mind for you (which is not one I’d normally suggest!) is [name_f]Sophie[/name_f].

[name_u]Liam[/name_u], [name_f]Elise[/name_f], [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u], [name_f]Clara[/name_f], and [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] sound complete to me!

[name_f]Sophie[/name_f] has a classic familiarity like sisters [name_f]Elise[/name_f] and [name_f]Clara[/name_f], an “of the moment” spark like brother [name_u]Liam[/name_u], and gives me a slightly proper get approachable vibe like brother [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u]. [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f] sounds lovely! She also has similar sounds to [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] and seems to fit in with your other favorites of [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], [name_f]Juliet[/name_f], and [name_f]Vanessa[/name_f].

Others I think would be a good fit:

[name_f]Audrey[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f]
[name_f]Hallie[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f]
[name_f]Katherine[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f] “Kate” (I love [name_f]Kate[/name_f] with your set but feel like she may need a more formal name)
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f]
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_f]Diana[/name_f]

Honestly I’ve been following your naming journey and I want to wish you all the best within your pregnancy as your approach delivery. I wish you a safe, happy (peaceful) and healthy delivery that also leads to a happy + healthy mama & baby :white_heart:

I’m in love with [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] for you I just think she’s stunning so ethereal, whimsical and soft. I like [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] with your kiddos names along with loving how the name translates as divine forest… so gorgeous! :evergreen_tree:

The only name I want to put forward is [name_f]Sybil[/name_f]. I think [name_f]Sybil[/name_f] has the whimsical flair of [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] along with sharing similar sounds. She has the rediscovered vintage feel of [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] along with the familiarity of [name_f]Vanessa[/name_f] and [name_u]Marie[/name_u]. [name_f]Sybil[/name_f] feels very cool! [name_f]Sybil[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f] translates as divide prophetess which makes my inner feminist smile and I think works wonders with your other kiddos names.

Good luck

I’m team [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f] all the way! So gorgeous and dreamy. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f] is also pretty, but it doesn’t quite capture my interest like [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f].

Thank you all so much for your kind words as well as for your ideas & suggestions <3 You’ve been so patient and helpful and I can’t thank you enough!!! This site has been the most wonderful with the name help. I know i’ve been really frequent with name posting and changing my mind consistently and not once has anyone been rude about it. Really grateful for a place to help release thoughts and anxiety about the naming process! It’s been tricky this time for sure.

I’ve been following your naming journey from the beginning and I am so excited to see what name your little one eventually ends up with. I know it’ll be perfect for her because you have put so much thought and effort into choosing the right name. I hope you have a smooth rest of your pregnancy and delivery.

Regarding your current options, I think [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] and [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] really capture your style and what you want to encapsulate for your baby. [name_f]My[/name_f] wildcard pick is [name_f]Vanessa[/name_f], which I think is a criminally underrated name and I actually like the double-a endings of [name_f]Vanessa[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f] in this case.

I know you’ve scoured a ton of names and gotten a lot of suggestions, but I’m going to throw out some more that may pique your interest. The style will be quite varied, but who knows where you’ll find the one, right? These names I think sound well with siblings [name_u]Liam[/name_u], [name_f]Elise[/name_f], [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u], and [name_f]Clara[/name_f], with middle name [name_f]Diana[/name_f], and with last name P-.

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite from your list is [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]. It’s a beautiful sound, it doesn’t MATCH your kids’ names but it coordinates wonderfully. It gives all of the kids their own beginnings and endings to the names. Its meaning is lovely–“youthful”.

I’ve been following your journey, and I have to say throughout all of your posts that my favorite has remained as

[name_f]Violet[/name_f]

To me, [name_f]Violet[/name_f] just feels like your daughter! It works so lovely with [name_f]Clara[/name_f] and [name_f]Elise[/name_f] as sisters, and so darling with [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] and [name_u]Liam[/name_u]. I love how melodic and charming [name_f]Violet[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f] is, like a theater in the midst of a ballet with raindrops trickling down outside during the night.

[name_f]Violet[/name_f] captures the zippy feel of [name_f]Vanessa[/name_f], with simple elegance of [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] and [name_u]Marie[/name_u]. Sharing a melodic ending with [name_f]Juliet[/name_f], the name feels so perfect.

:cherry_blossom::tulip::ribbon:🩷 :ballet_shoes:

[name_f]My[/name_f] second choice goes for [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] if you want another vote. 🩷

Struggling to narrow it down any further, so I can’t imagine being in your shoes! I wish you the best; the perfect name will come to you, no worries!!!

From your list I love [name_u]Marie[/name_u], it’s classic, sophisticated and underused as a first name. I also like [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] and [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]

A few suggestions:

[name_f]Sibella[/name_f] / [name_f]Sybella[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] (starts with a P I know, but doesn’t have that sound and means radiant or shining one)
[name_f]Annabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Irene[/name_f]
[name_f]Ingrid[/name_f]
[name_f]Marceline[/name_f]

I just love [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] for you . [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f] is so pretty ! I feel [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] goes so well with [name_u]Liam[/name_u] [name_f]Elise[/name_f], [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] & [name_f]Clara[/name_f]. I also love how many nicknames she could have !

I am so swooning over the suggestion of [name_f]Kate[/name_f]!
