I’m having my first baby around Halloween. We don’t know the gender yet. I need help brainstorming names. We have a super common last name so we want something a bit more unusual for the first, however we don’t want anything made up or any strange spellings.
Some names we like but either aren’t sure about or can’t use are:
I love [name]Amelia[/name], that is going on the list. I also love [name]Nora[/name]. I am not sure about [name]Rose[/name]. I worry it’s too plain. Maybe [name]Rosemary[/name] or [name]Rosalie[/name]. I love [name]Catherine[/name] as well, but I think with our last name it’s just not unusual enough. Thanks for the help!
I [name]LOVE[/name] your list; [name]Eleanor[/name], [name]Alice[/name], [name]Margaret[/name], [name]Claire[/name] and [name]Louisa[/name] are all some of my favorite names…
Thanks for so many suggestions! I love so many of your ideas!
