[name]Hi[/name] Berries!
My husband and I are expecting our first baby- a Girl(!) in a couple months and could use your expert opinions! We are looking for something feminine, spunky, and a cute nickname is a plus. Our last name is 3 syllables and starts with “[name]Mac[/name]”. [name]Haven[/name]'t quite gotten to middle names yet… Please let me know what you think of our top first-name contenders and if you can think of any other choices that may work with our style. Here they are…
I love [name]Fiona[/name] nn Fi. Definitely my favorite from your list.
[name]Margaret[/name] nn [name]Meg[/name] or [name]Maggie[/name] is also cute.
Others in the same vein:
[name]Esther[/name] nn [name]Tess[/name]
[name]Lorelei[/name] nn [name]Rory[/name], Reia, [name]Lea[/name]
[name]Beatrix[/name] nn [name]Trixie[/name]
[name]Marlena[/name] nn [name]Marni[/name]
[name]Katherine[/name] nn [name]Kit[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name] nn [name]Nell[/name] or [name]Nora[/name]
[name]Elizabeth[/name] nn [name]Libby[/name]
[name]Adelaide[/name] nn Lady
[name]Bianca[/name] nn [name]Bee[/name]
[name]Gwendolyn[/name] nn [name]Winnie[/name] or [name]Gwen[/name] or [name]Wendy[/name]
[name]Catalina[/name] nn [name]Tally[/name]
[name]Karena[/name] nn [name]Ren[/name]
I love [name]Margaret[/name], but not with your last name. I really love [name]Fiona[/name] and [name]Emilia[/name] and they would work well with your last name.
Go with [name]Delaney[/name]!!! [name]Love[/name] it. I will most likely name my first daughter [name]Elaine[/name] (after my mom (mn)) and I will call her [name]Lainey[/name]. Very cute!
Seconding [name]Delaney[/name]! I love that name and it seems to hit all the notes you are looking for. You might also like:
[name]Georgia[/name]
[name]Adelaide[/name]
[name]Ryland[/name]/Rylant
[name]Ramona[/name]
I like [name]Keira[/name] and [name]Emilia[/name]. I prefer the [name]Ciara[/name] spelling but it’s a nice name either way. [name]Ciara[/name]/[name]Kiera[/name] [name]Fiona[/name] or [name]Emilia[/name] [name]Margaret[/name] would be nice. Have you considered [name]Margo[/name]?
I love [name]Margaret[/name] nn [name]Maggie[/name], but I agree it may not flow great with your last name. [name]Fiona[/name] is really cute, but not my [name]FAVORITE[/name]. Of your choices I would probably go with [name]Emilia[/name].
I love the suggestion of [name]Georgia[/name], [name]Gigi[/name] is an adorable spunky nickname option. You could also use [name]Genevieve[/name] to get to [name]Gigi[/name]. I think either would be a great option.
I’m loving [name]Fiona[/name] and [name]Keira[/name]! I also think they’d make a great sibset. I love the nn [name]Maggie[/name] (not that fond of [name]Margaret[/name]) but I agree that it’s a mouthful with your last name. For me [name]Delaney[/name] sticks out to me as not fitting in with the style of the others. I’m not sure if that matters to you or not.
