I am trying to find the perfect girl name for baby #3. I have a few names that I love for a day or two but nothing that makes me fall in love as much as [name_f]Etta[/name_f].
I love [name_f]Etta[/name_f] because It’s beautiful and classic yet rare to find one. It is a name we all know and can spell but don’t hear very often (Yet). She isn’t close to the top 100(at least last I checked I could be wrong on that). [name_f]Etta[/name_f] was my one of two top names when I was pregnant with DS right along with [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]. I of course had a boy so didn’t use [name_f]Etta[/name_f] or [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]. We named Him [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Jon[/name_m]. I’ve dropped the name [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] because DH never really liked it and a friend of a friend has a [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] so [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] has lost her charm. But [name_f]Etta[/name_f], I can’t help but keep going back to [name_f]Etta[/name_f]. The problem is I have a [name_m]Henry[/name_m]. [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_f]Etta[/name_f] is just way too… It’s what you would name siblings in a cartoon lol.
I’m looking for something with similar style.
NOT [name_f]Ella[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]Eva[/name_f], Or [name_f]Eva[/name_f] those names are [name_m]WAY[/name_m] too popular for me. I like real names, classic names that you don’t hear often.
My list:
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] NN [name_f]Bea[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] - DH thinks of movie says its a character name
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_f]Willa[/name_f]
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f] -getting too popular and I know a dog [name_f]Mable[/name_f] but DH loves it
[name_u]Wren[/name_u]- DH hates
[name_f]Opal[/name_f]- DH doesn’t hate but doesn’t love. But I’m over the moon about [name_f]Opal[/name_f]!
Oh and I also can’t use [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] or [name_f]Evy[/name_f]. I have a niece [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] NN [name_f]Evy[/name_f]
