I’m due in a couple of weeks and desperately need name ideas for a girl. We don’t know what we’re having, but we have 2 pretty definite ideas for a boy.
I think I’ve read every single name book out there, including Beyond [name]Ava[/name] & [name]Aiden[/name], but I still haven’t fallen in love with any names; however, our current list includes the following:
[name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Rose[/name] - I’m concerned about its popularity
[name]Gabriella[/name] - Husband’s pick
Our last name begins with an F and is 2 syllables. It seems that I’m drawn mostly to the classic and vintage name lists, but I’m looking for something a little different at the same time.
[name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Rose[/name] - [name]Charlotte[/name] is such a classic! While [name]Rose[/name] is a very popular mn, it is very pretty too.
[name]Ainsley[/name] [name]Rose[/name]/[name]Grace[/name] - I can’t really see [name]Ainsley[/name] on a girl myself. [name]Rose[/name] and [name]Grace[/name] are both lovely, but very popular.
[name]Jordan[/name] - reminds me of [name]Jordan[/name], the British page 3 Glamour model who married [name]Peter[/name] [name]Andre[/name] (she is very famous over here, and not exactly a desirable namesake)
[name]Hadley[/name] - I’m not a fan.
[name]Gabriella[/name] - I know a lot of Gabriellas, so the loveliness of this has worn off on me, but it is actually unusual and pretty.
I’m sorry - my previous post sounded more negative than I meant it to!
I know [name]Ainsley[/name] is a unisex name, and I think it could easily work in [name]America[/name], where they are more common.
[name]Hadley[/name] is also quite cute, even though it is not my personal style.
More suggestions :
[name]Romilly[/name] (rom-ill-ee) nn [name]Romi[/name]/[name]Milly[/name]
[name]Andromeda[/name] nn [name]Andie[/name]/[name]Romi[/name]
[name]Amelie[/name]
[name]Phoebe[/name].
[name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Rose[/name]: I really love [name]Charlotte[/name]! It’s a timeless classic, but like you said, at #87, it has become popular. I love [name]Rose[/name] as a first name, but it’s unfortunately become the #1 middle name for girls, which may or may not bother you.
[name]Ainsley[/name] [name]Rose[/name]/[name]Grace[/name]: [name]Ainsley[/name] isn’t my style, but I can see its appeal. That said, I wonder if it will become the next [name]Ashley[/name].
[name]Jordan[/name]: [name]Jordan[/name] isn’t my style, and to me, it’s starting to feel dated. (That’s just me, though.) It’s currently #48 for boys and #130 for girls, so if popularity is an issue for you, [name]Jordan[/name] may not be the best pick.
[name]Hadley[/name]: Not my style, but I prefer it to [name]Ainsley[/name] or [name]Jordan[/name].
[name]Gabriella[/name]: I really love this name, but it’s currently #35, which is more popular than [name]Charlotte[/name].
