Girl Name Help to go with Gus

Girl Names
1

Hi berries!

I am in the process of adopting (eek!) and am in search of the perfect baby girl name. Should this precious baby be a boy, he will likely be Forrest Augustus “Gus” after my dad. But I am also considering Jude, Bennett, Thatcher, and Hayes.

A girl name has been so much harder, though. I have a list of several names that I like, but I’m not sure I love any of them. I had always said I would use Kayla as a middle name because my grandparents are Kay and La, but I just don’t know. This is hard :sweat_smile:

My list consists of

Eleanor
Eloise
Charlotte
Elisabeth “Lilibet” (my middle name and a combination of my mom’s name (Lisa) and my aunt’s (Beth))
Louisa (grandma’s middle name was Louise)
Vivian (family name)
Hope (family name)
Marigold
Leonore
Birdie
Freya
Alice
Mae/Maeve/Margaret

Any and all help would be appreciated!

With [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_m]Augustus[/name_m], I really like [name_f]Marigold[/name_f], [name_f]Hope[/name_f], or [name_f]Birdie[/name_f]. They are word-y nature names that aren’t too matchy matchy.

Congratulations! That’s so exciting!

I think [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] [name_m]Augustus[/name_m] “Gus” is adorable! I love the meaning behind it.

[name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Kayla[/name_f] or [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Kayla[/name_f] work nicely. I like both of those names. Again, I really like the family meaning behind the names you chose. That’s beautiful.

Thank you all so much for your help. This is such a sweet time for me and I am so excited to meet my (soon to be) little one.

Aww thanks :blush: I know that [name_f]Kayla[/name_f] isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but I love honor names!
