We are expecting baby #3 in [name_u]June[/name_u] and don’t know gender. Our first two children are boys with extremely meaningful names that honor family and a close friend that we lost as teens. I feel so much pressure to choose the perfect girl name, but I’m none make me feel like it’s “the one.”
Sons are [name_m]Grant[/name_m] and [name_m]Will[/name_m] ([name_m]William[/name_m]).
Top contenders for girls are:
[name_f]Mae[/name_f] (family name- but both mine and hubby’s names start with M and I’d prefer not to repeat the initial. In the grand scheme, probably shouldn’t be a deal breaker)
[name_f]Louise[/name_f]- called [name_u]Lou[/name_u] (family name but I feel like it runs into [name_m]Will[/name_m] too much with the L. Over thinking?)
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] ([name_m]Charles[/name_m] is a family name, so a bit more of a stretch, but works in my mind. [name_u]Haven[/name_u]'t convinced Hubby yet though)
I’m worried I’m overlooking THE name because I’m trying to use honor names, but I know I’m less likely to regret choosing a name with meaning, especially since we have such special names for our boys. I like classic, vintage names and hubby likes 80/90s classics like [name_f]Emily[/name_f] and [name_f]Katie[/name_f]. He has agreed to [name_f]Mae[/name_f] or [name_u]Lou[/name_u].
Middle name will be [name_f]Pamela[/name_f].
If the baby is a boy, we’re leaning towards [name_u]Beau[/name_u] even though it has no significance. We’ve already used 4 honor boy names between our two sons so feel a little better about using an outside name for this (middle name would still honor). Other option would be [name_m]Davis[/name_m] to continue the honor names but I don’t love the nickname [name_m]Dave[/name_m] and would prefer another one syllable boys name or at least nickname like [name_m]Will[/name_m].
Any thoughts or feedback? Thanks for reading!
