>>>hello world!

Welcoming my little girl [name_u]Harmony[/name_u] [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] into our family of now four! She was born 3 days ago after a nearly pain free labour, and joins her 20 month old sister [name_u]Eden[/name_u] [name_f]Willow[/name_f]. We are so excited (and a bit scared!) about the days and weeks to come.

We chose [name_u]Harmony[/name_u]'s name after the birth from a long shortlist as my husband felt he couldn’t say anything for sure until he saw the baby. It’s something of an unusual name but my husband is a music graduate, violin teacher, ex-barbershopper (as am I) and church worship leader so we think it fits! Only drawback so far is no obvious nicknames… Any ideas? :slight_smile:

Congratulations!

Nicknames that could work?
[name_f]Harlow[/name_f]
[name_f]Minnie[/name_f]
[name_f]Mona[/name_f]
[name_u]Romy[/name_u]

Wow, her name is wonderful! It sounds whimsical and lilting to me. I think a nickname derived from her full name is a great option, something like [name_f]Harlow[/name_f] or [name_u]Harley[/name_u]. Or maybe [name_f]Marnie[/name_f]? I can see that coming from [name_u]Harmony[/name_u]. I really love your daughter’s name, best of luck and I hope you are enjoying your new darling!

[name_f]Minnie[/name_f] is an adorable nickname for [name_u]Harmony[/name_u]. There is also [name_m]Harry[/name_m], [name_f]Marnie[/name_f], [name_u]Ari[/name_u], and [name_m]Morry[/name_m]. Congrats!

[name_f]Welcome[/name_f] [name_u]Harmony[/name_u]… Have fun with your two girls!

Congratulations I too love the name you have chosen. I wouldn’t want a nickname I think [name_u]Harmony[/name_u] can’t be bettered.

rollo

While your children’s names are not “my style” there is something elegant, and almost lyrical about them. Nice work!

Congrats to you and your family on the safe arrival of your baby girl, [name_u]Harmony[/name_u] [name_f]Laurel[/name_f]. [name_u]Eden[/name_u] and [name_u]Harmony[/name_u] are a smashing pair of sisters!

Thanks everyone for your well wishes and nicknames! [name_u]Harmony[/name_u] has been a perfect newborn (I say this of course before the first growth spurt) and [name_u]Eden[/name_u] is surprisingly sympathetic and accomodating of the new baby as well. I think [name_f]Minnie[/name_f] sounds cute and I like [name_f]Marnie[/name_f] - husband is a bit ambivalent but I suspect he just prefers the full name :slight_smile: well we will see what sticks!

Usually I’m the name geek out of the two of us so I’m really pleased that my husband likes [name_u]Harmony[/name_u]'s name so much :smiley: he already started talking about naming #3…haha

Congratulations! :slight_smile: I adore [name_u]Harmony[/name_u].

Congratulations! My very first best friend in life was named [name_u]Harmony[/name_u], so I have a wonderful association for the name. Goes great with big sister [name_u]Eden[/name_u]. Congrats! I like Harmie and [name_f]Marnie[/name_f] as nn’s.

[name_u]Harmony[/name_u] and [name_u]Eden[/name_u] are perfect congratulations. Mon could work as a nickname I know two [name_f]Monique[/name_f]'s who use it as a nickname
