[name]Hi[/name] Berries,
I’m pretty new to Nameberry and would love some help. We are expecting a baby girl in [name]September[/name] and are totally undecided on her name. We have a son, [name]Mack[/name] [name]Alexander[/name] - we named him the day we found out he was going to be a boy (at 16 wks) and never looked back - so much harder this time! We lived in the south when [name]Mack[/name] was born, and love that his name is different (but not strange…), very uncommon and has a southern flavor (we now live in the northeast). We want to find something different/uncommon but pretty for baby girl. Last name starts with H and sounds like [name]Raymond[/name]. We agree on a few names (but I’m not sure I’m totally loving any of them - they are growing on me):
[name]Marlow[/name]/[name]Marlowe[/name] (we thought of this b/c I love [name]Harlow[/name], but wouldn’t use w our last name)
[name]Margot[/name] (Hubby’s fave this week, possibly mine too)
[name]Juliet[/name]
[name]Kate[/name] (we loved this for years, but w the Duchess, fear an explosion - plus possibly too vanilla for us)
[name]Lucy[/name] (Hubby likes this way more than I do - plus I much prefer [name]Luci[/name] or [name]Lucie[/name] spellings - hubby disagrees)
Hubby has 2 younger sisters, [name]Paige[/name] and [name]Elle[/name], and their first cousin is [name]Lila[/name] - so we can’t use anything that sounds anything like those (I particularly love [name]Lila[/name], [name]Gisele[/name] and [name]Sage[/name], but all are out for me - would use [name]Lila[/name] or [name]Sage[/name] in the middle spot, though). Three of my best friends have daughters [name]Lennox[/name], Mazzy and [name]Eden[/name], also love those names.
I really like but hubby already said no to [name]Wren[/name], [name]Jade[/name], [name]Bliss[/name] and [name]Annabel[/name], [name]Genevieve[/name] and [name]Vivian[/name].
Would greatly appreciate any thoughts on our current list, and of course any suggestions! Thanks in advance
