Honoring my wife (updated again... we're having a GIRL!)

[james]

Hey everyone!

Before I say anything, I hope it”s ok that I”ve created a second post based upon a suggestion from Merylp I was thinking the old one was getting kind of long but I wasn”t sure if it was ok or not to make a new one. So if its not, I”m sorry and I will swiftly go back to the old one!

[name]Whitney[/name] had her 14-week checkup today, unfortunately we were not able to definitively tell the gender just yet but more importantly, the baby is 110% ok from [name]Whit[/name]”s electrical incident on [name]Sunday[/name]. We really wish we knew if we were having a boy or a girl but that news is the only news we needed to hear right now!

As for names, we have really been too busy worrying over our little one to worry about narrowing down our list anymore. However, at merylp”s request I wanted to repost our present ”shortlist”.

BOYS:
[name]Camden[/name]
[name]Henry[/name]
[name]Redford[/name]

GIRLS:
[name]Cambria[/name]
[name]Camille[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name]
[name]Jacqueline[/name]

BOYS (MIDDLES):
[name]Colt[/name], [name]James[/name], [name]Jameson[/name], [name]Knight[/name], [name]Louis[/name], [name]Page[/name], [name]Penn[/name], [name]Quill[/name] and [name]Whitford[/name]

GIRLS (MIDDLES):
[name]Caroline[/name], Corette, [name]Fable[/name], [name]Hope[/name] (this one”s actually new-we thought it was fitting after our scare), [name]Ocean[/name], [name]Persephone[/name], [name]Poet[/name], [name]Shelby[/name], [name]Sonnet[/name], [name]Story[/name], [name]Vivian[/name], [name]Whitney[/name], [name]Winter[/name], [name]Wisteria[/name]

Like I said, we haven”t done much with it but the one name [name]Whit[/name] seems hung up on is [name]Cambria[/name], and she has played around with it some to try and distract her mind from worrying so much. So, at her request, I wanted to share with you all some of her ideas for [name]Cambria[/name]

[name]Cambria[/name] [name]Eleanor[/name]
[name]Cambria[/name] [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Hope[/name]
[name]Cambria[/name] [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Ocean[/name]
[name]Cambria[/name] [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Sonnet[/name]

[name]Cambria[/name] [name]Fable[/name]

[name]Cambria[/name] [name]Hope[/name]

[name]Cambria[/name] [name]Ocean[/name]
[name]Cambria[/name] [name]Ocean[/name] [name]Hope[/name]

[name]Cambria[/name] [name]Poet[/name]

[name]Cambria[/name] [name]Shelby[/name]
[name]Cambria[/name] [name]Shelby[/name] [name]Poet[/name]

[name]Cambria[/name] [name]Sonnet[/name]

[name]Cambria[/name] [name]Story[/name]
[name]Cambria[/name] [name]Story[/name] [name]Hope[/name]

[name]Cambria[/name] [name]Winter[/name]
[name]Cambria[/name] [name]Winter[/name] [name]Hope[/name]
[name]Cambria[/name] [name]Winter[/name] [name]Ocean[/name]

As always, thank you all” you guys have been so great to us and we appreciate it so much

[name]James[/name]

[rollo]

[name]Just[/name] quickly I will come back later.

I like [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Story[/name] [name]Hope[/name].

I just love [name]James[/name] as a fn but good idea as a mn and I love [name]Jameson[/name] too.

[name]Henry[/name] [name]Jameson[/name] is nice, isn’t your last name French? If so [name]Henri[/name] I would prefer [name]Henri[/name].

I love [name]Harry[/name] [name]Jameson[/name] and in the Aussie pronunciation it is not said as ‘hairy’.

[pandapaws]

I really like [name]Camden[/name], and [name]Story[/name]!!! Good luck!!!

[system]

I would just fawn over [name]Cambria[/name] [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Hope[/name]! I would stay away from winter as first of two middle names, just out of practicality; you want a name, not a description. So happy to see [name]Wisteria[/name] made it to the short list! I am loving [name]Redford[/name], but think [name]Henry[/name] [name]Knight[/name] would be fantastic!

Blessings,

[name]Bella[/name] <3

(by the way, post away!)

BOYS:
[name]Camden[/name]- Nice name. I’m not sure if you are overly concerned with style but [name]Camden[/name] is very different that both [name]Henry[/name] and [name]Redford[/name]. [name]Camden[/name] is a bit trendy and fits in with the current -en trend. It sounds very current and “new” whereas [name]Henry[/name] and [name]Redford[/name] feel more vintage. I’m not saying [name]Camden[/name] is bad in anyway, just pointing out the vibe it gives.
[name]Henry[/name]- [name]Lovely[/name], strong and classic. I think this is a nice subtle nod to your wives favorite car. You will know who it is after but no one else really will.
[name]Redford[/name]- So handsome and strong. I think [name]Red[/name] would make a cute nn too. Plus Im pulling for a chevy man

GIRLS:
[name]Cambria[/name]- So pretty. Im not sure if you are aware of this but there is a hotel chain called [name]Cambria[/name] Suites. I just noticed one for the first time today and it made me think of you. Im not sure how wide spread they are either. I still think it is a lovely name.
[name]Camille[/name]- I love [name]Camille[/name]. So sweet and delicate.
[name]Eleanor[/name]- [name]Love[/name], as always.
[name]Jacqueline[/name]- Eh, Im only luke warm on this one. I dont think you will be able to stop the nn [name]Jackie[/name] either given that it is so obvious. You can insist on [name]Ellie[/name] all you want but most people will just revert to calling her [name]Jackie[/name]. For example, my sister has a [name]Jacob[/name] that everyone calls [name]Jake[/name], even though she insisted before he was born that he would only be called [name]Jacob[/name]. She has since given up on that and now calls him [name]Jake[/name] also.

Hmm how about [name]Henry[/name] [name]Jameson[/name] [name]Knight[/name] or [name]Redford[/name] [name]Louis[/name] [name]Quill[/name]?

[name]Cambria[/name] [name]Eleanor[/name]
[name]Cambria[/name] [name]Sonnet[/name]
[name]Cambria[/name] [name]Winter[/name]

These are my three favorite combos.

[rollo]

[name]Just[/name] wanted to chime in on the [name]Jacqueline[/name] conversation. My daughter is named [name]Jacquelyn[/name] she heartily dislikes anyone calling her [name]Jackie[/name] so her friends call her [name]Jac[/name]. I always say her name in full and she loves it too but it is difficult to stop the nn trend. I always loved the name [name]Jacqueline[/name] and JFK’s wife was so elegant and sophisticated that I am sure that this swayed my decision but I am not a fan of the nn’s.

[lemon]

[name]Hi[/name], [name]James[/name]!

Too bad you and [name]Whitney[/name] weren’t able to tell the sex, but it is still very early. I’ll post my favorite combination for each first name with either one or two middle names, okay?

[name]Camden[/name] [name]Louis[/name] [name]Page[/name] OR [name]Camden[/name] [name]Whitford[/name]
[name]Henry[/name] [name]Jameson[/name] [name]Quill[/name] OR [name]Henry[/name] [name]Whitford[/name]
[name]Redford[/name] ([name]Whitaker[/name]) [name]James[/name] OR [name]Redford[/name] [name]Louis[/name]

I had to add [name]Whitaker[/name] in there because it sounds so incredible with [name]Redford[/name]! [name]Love[/name] that one! Actually, I’ll post three for [name]Redford[/name] because I’m also in love with [name]Redford[/name] [name]Whitaker[/name] [name]Penn[/name]…

[name]Cambria[/name] [name]Vivian[/name] [name]Story[/name] OR [name]Cambria[/name] [name]Vivian[/name]
[name]Camille[/name] [name]Winter[/name] [name]Poet[/name] OR [name]Camille[/name] [name]Vivian[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Sonnet[/name] OR [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Fable[/name]
[name]Jacqueline[/name] [name]Story[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] OR [name]Jacqueline[/name] [name]Winter[/name]

Good luck to both of you, [name]James[/name]!

[james]

Hey there, everyone! I’m actually on my way out so this is very brief and I haven’t been able to read all of your posts yet, but there are a couple more names that we wanted to throw out there: [name]Pearl[/name] and [name]West[/name]. We’re unsure of where they would go (first or middle), but they are actually taken from the lines of one of [name]Whit[/name]'s favorite songs and we like them both. Like I said, I just wanted to toss them out there real quick. Thank you all so much and I will get back to everyone tonight!

[MerylP]

hello [name]James[/name],

So glad to hear that [name]Whit[/name] and baby are ok after the fish tank accident. BUT I am so annoyed that the Dr. couldn’t see the sex! You can post as many times as you like. I posted 10 times when i was pregnant. I think all your names are really amazing and you cant go wrong. I know you said that knight felt like a last name but i do not see it as a last name at all. I love [name]Henry[/name] and [name]Redford[/name] both handsome and good as sibling names. Although Camben is a nice name it feels a little trendier. Also if you use [name]Camden[/name] I dont think you can use [name]Cambria[/name] as they are too similar. [name]Cambria[/name] is such a pretty name!

I love [name]Henry[/name] [name]Knight[/name] and [name]Cambria[/name] [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Ocean[/name],
[name]Cambria[/name] [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Sonnet[/name]. You have great taste. Let us know when you find out the sex.

[james]

Alright, everyone! I”m nice and settled in for the night and ready to read all of your always amazing posts. Have I mentioned you guys are awesome? Maybe they should look into renaming this site Awesomeberry, haha. [name]Just[/name] kidding!

[name]Rollo[/name]: Thanks so much for posting! Our last name is French and we both like the look of [name]Henri[/name], but since the name is more in honor of [name]Henry[/name] [name]Ford[/name] we probably would stick with that spelling. [name]Whit[/name] does really like the look of [name]Henri[/name] Giroux, though! She thinks it looks like the name of a distinguished author or something [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Story[/name] [name]Hope[/name] is beautiful.

Pandapaws: Thank you so much for the comment! I really like [name]Camden[/name], too, and I think [name]Story[/name] would make an awesome middle name

Spotlightstarlit/[name]Bella[/name]: Thanks so much for your comment! You have a point about [name]Winter[/name] and its definitely something we will keep in mind, thank you. I really do love [name]Wisteria[/name]! It just doesn”t seem to really ”click” as a first name for us, but we love it too much to let it go entirely.

Leah_9: Thank you so much for your input! I always love reading everyone”s comments about the names on our list. We both really love [name]Henry[/name] [name]Jameson[/name] [name]Knight[/name], thank you so much for suggesting it. You also really hit the nail on the head with our concern for [name]Jacqueline[/name]. I know sometimes, nicknames are unstoppable. I got called [name]Jim[/name] or [name]Jimmy[/name] so many times as a kid it drove me crazy (I always hated it ” no offense to any [name]Jim[/name]”s or [name]Jimmy[/name]”s out there!) and [name]Whitney[/name] isn”t always thrilled with [name]Whit[/name]. We really want to be sure if our child”s name easily shortens into a nickname, it is something that we actually like ” such as [name]Cam[/name] for both [name]Cambria[/name] and [name]Camille[/name] and [name]Ellie[/name] for [name]Eleanor[/name]. But [name]Ellie[/name] for [name]Jacqueline[/name] isn”t nearly as obvious. We love the name but it”s probably going to be the next to get bumped.

[name]Rollo[/name]: You”re so great, thank you so much for the awesome second comment! I do like [name]Jac[/name] a lot better than [name]Jackie[/name], it”s very spunky and fun ” kind of reminds me of [name]Cam[/name]. But I, too, rather prefer [name]Jacqueline[/name] either in its whole form or as [name]Ellie[/name].

[name]Lemon[/name]: I take my prior comment back, maybe they should rename the site Lemonberry! Haha, just kidding again, but seriously, you (and everyone else!) are so awesome to us. Thank you so much for always being ready to jump in, give your opinions and make suggestions each time I make a new post. Your suggestions are awesome as always. Thank you!

[name]Michaela[/name]: We both love the suggestion of [name]Faith[/name]! Thank you. [name]Whitney[/name] has recently decided she likes ”virtue” names, and [name]Faith[/name] is another one that I think fits our baby perfectly. I think we”re definitely adding it to our list of potential middle names I think [name]Cambria[/name] [name]Whitney[/name] [name]Faith[/name] is utterly beautiful and so is [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Ocean[/name] [name]Faith[/name]. Thank you so much!

Merylp: [name]Trust[/name] me, we were so looking forward to knowing the sex of our little one ([name]Whitney[/name] has an inkling that it”s a girl, which I would be great with!!!) but like I said, the main thing is that he or she is ok after the incident-that-shall-not-be-named-says-[name]Whitney[/name] We definitely aren”t planning on using [name]Camden[/name] if we use [name]Cambria[/name] or vice versa. I love [name]Henry[/name] [name]Knight[/name], too! Thanks so much for your input!

We haven”t made much progress on our names list, though [name]Jacqueline[/name] and [name]Camden[/name] are both close to getting crossed off and now we”ve got [name]Pearl[/name], [name]West[/name] and [name]Faith[/name] in the running for middle names [name]Whit[/name] is still very in love with [name]Cambria[/name]. What do you guys think of [name]Cambria[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] [name]Faith[/name] or [name]Cambria[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] [name]Hope[/name]?

You guys are awesome… thank you!!!

[name]Redford[/name] [name]Earnest[/name] [name]James[/name]

[name]Do[/name] you like any of these?

[lemon]

[name]Hi[/name], [name]James[/name]!

Oh, you are just too nice! Anyway, it seems [name]Jacqueline[/name] and [name]Camden[/name] are on the way out, so you are left with these, right?

[name]Henry[/name]
[name]Redford[/name]

[name]Henry[/name] [name]Jameson[/name] [name]Knight[/name], [name]Henry[/name] [name]Whitaker[/name] [name]Penn[/name], [name]Henry[/name] [name]Whitford[/name] [name]James[/name], [name]Redford[/name] [name]Jameson[/name] [name]Knight[/name], [name]Redford[/name] [name]Whitaker[/name] [name]Penn[/name], and [name]Redford[/name] [name]Jameson[/name] [name]Quill[/name] are my favorites!

[name]Cambria[/name]
[name]Camille[/name]
[name]Eleanor[/name]

As for [name]Cambria[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] [name]Hope[/name] and [name]Cambria[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] [name]Faith[/name], I don’t like the repeated one-syllable names, personally. Where did [name]Pearl[/name] come from, and would you be willing to use a name that means “pearl” instead? I was thinking a two-syllable name would be perfect, and thus I thought of [name]Margo[/name]/[name]Margot[/name]/[name]Margaux[/name]. I sort of like the [name]Margaux[/name] spelling because it looks even more French, and it repeats the ending of Giroux - is that weird? If so, I’d choose [name]Margo[/name]. So, what do you think of [name]Cambria[/name] [name]Margaux[/name] [name]Faith[/name] Giroux?

Another I thought of for you is [name]Frances[/name], which means “from [name]France[/name].” It could be a cool way to honor your French heritage! Something like [name]Cambria[/name] [name]Frances[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] Giroux, [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Frances[/name] [name]Penn[/name] Giroux, or [name]Camille[/name] [name]Frances[/name] [name]Faith[/name] Giroux would be pretty…

As for virtue names, one of my favorites is [name]Felicity[/name], which means “happiness.” I think it accurately fits your feelings both regarding this baby and the positive outcome of [name]Whitney[/name]'s “accident.” I think something like [name]Camille[/name] [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Page[/name] would be stunning, but I just realized [name]Page[/name] Giroux is a bit awkward - [name]Camille[/name] [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Penn[/name] Giroux? I’m starting to love [name]Penn[/name] or [name]Pen[/name] for a girl, and I totally think you could get away with just [name]Pen[/name]! [name]Amanda[/name] Peet’s oldest daughter is called [name]Frances[/name] [name]Pen[/name]! [name]Mercy[/name] would be great, too, as in [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Mercy[/name] [name]Fable[/name] Giroux! And, though not overtly a virtue name, what about [name]Naomi[/name], which means “my joy or my delight”? I think [name]Cambria[/name] [name]Naomi[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] Giroux is pretty!

Okay, enough talking for me…

[name]Lemon[/name]

[james]

[name]Michaela[/name]: Thank you so much for the list of virtue names. [name]Whitney[/name] (who is unfortunately at work right now… I miss her!) will definitely appreciate them! I will certainly let her pick her favorites, but I think mine are [name]Hope[/name], [name]Faith[/name], [name]Love[/name], [name]Serenity[/name], [name]Mercy[/name] and [name]Joy[/name]. You and [name]Whit[/name] both have a point, virtue names are very nice! [name]Valiant[/name] is super awesome for a boy, too.

I personally love so many of your suggestions. My favorites of yours are [name]Cambria[/name] [name]Verity[/name] [name]Hope[/name], [name]Cambria[/name] [name]Whitney[/name] [name]Joy[/name], [name]Cambria[/name] [name]Ocean[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] (Like pearl of the ocean, I love this!); [name]Camille[/name] [name]Persephone[/name] [name]Love[/name] and [name]Camille[/name] [name]Sonnet[/name] [name]Faith[/name]; [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Whitney[/name] [name]Joy[/name] and [name]Jacqueline[/name] [name]Shelby[/name] [name]Faith[/name]! For boys, I think [name]Camden[/name] [name]Louis[/name] [name]Page[/name] and [name]Henry[/name] [name]Valiant[/name] [name]Jameson[/name] are awesome. Thank you, [name]Michaela[/name]! You have been so great to us!

[name]Lemon[/name]: We haven”t ”officially” discounted [name]Camden[/name] and [name]Jacqueline[/name] yet, but we are very much so on the verge so I guess we might as well! It hurts to let them go, but I know we need to work on narrowing things down

As for [name]Pearl[/name], it (along with [name]West[/name]) came from the lines of one of [name]Whit[/name]”s favorite songs. It”s actually by the same band that [name]Cambria[/name] came from. One of the lines is ”She”s my angel from the west” and the actual song is called ”My [name]Pearl[/name] of the Stars.” So, that”s the origins of [name]Pearl[/name] and [name]West[/name] both Because of that, we probably wouldn”t use a name that simply means [name]Pearl[/name], though [name]Margo[/name] sounds pretty enough.

I do like [name]Frances[/name]! I have an ”uncle” (really just a very close friend of my dad”s) whose last name is actually [name]Francis[/name] and I always thought it was a really cool name. [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Mercy[/name] [name]Fable[/name] is beautiful, but I have to say [name]Whitney[/name] ruined [name]Naomi[/name] for me, haha. She likes to spell thinks frontwards and backwards and one time pointed out that an acquaintance named [name]Naomi[/name]”s name”s spelled backwards is ”I moan.” And I”ve never been able to get it out of my head since then!

Enough talking for me, too… thank you both so much!

[name]James[/name]

[name]Just[/name] want to chime in on the virtue names with the lovely [name]Verity[/name]! [name]Blythe[/name], too, with it’s calm and relaxed connotations is nice, and there’s the simple but quirky [name]Love[/name], which makes a good middle in certain classic combinations, and reminds me of [name]Story[/name], [name]Fable[/name] and [name]Sonnet[/name].

Now, for boys - I’m glad you’re swaying towards either [name]Henry[/name] or [name]Redford[/name], as I think both are just stunningly handsome, and they feel much more interesting and vintage to me than [name]Camden[/name], which seems to me like it might get a little lost amongst all of the two-syllable boys’ names ending in N which are currently popular ([name]Aiden[/name] et al).

I’ve used [name]Whitaker[/name], I hope you don’t mind, as I just love the flow of it.

[name]Redford[/name] [name]James[/name] [name]Whitaker[/name] - honouring both you and [name]Whitney[/name], and reflecting your love of cars. I adore this one!

[name]Henry[/name] [name]James[/name] [name]Knight[/name], or, for something longer, [name]Henry[/name] [name]Whitford[/name]/[name]Whitaker[/name] [name]Knight[/name].

In short, I think any combination of [name]Henry[/name]/[name]Redford[/name], [name]Whitaker[/name], [name]James[/name] and [name]Knight[/name] works excellently, and is guaranteed to be absolutely swoon-worthy. I do like [name]Whitford[/name], too, but I worry that if you used, say [name]Henry[/name] [name]James[/name] [name]Whitford[/name], you then couldn’t use [name]Redford[/name] on another son … and I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Redford[/name]!

For girls, my favourites in first place are [name]Camille[/name] and [name]Eleanor[/name], classic beauties who would make great sisters to each other and to [name]Henry[/name] or [name]Redford[/name]. I’m personally not very fond of the bree sound in [name]Cambria[/name], and find it less classic than your other choices, but as it is [name]Whitney[/name]'s favourite I’ve played around with some combinations for that, too.

For [name]Eleanor[/name], I adore [name]Lemon[/name]'s [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Sonnet[/name] - there are quite a few Ns there, but I feel like they tie the whole name together, somehow. Most [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] [two syllable name] combinations would work (I love [name]Caroline[/name]), especially [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Poet[/name].

I also love [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Verity[/name] [name]Fable[/name].

For [name]Camille[/name], [name]Camille[/name] [name]Persephone[/name] is by far my favourite, and I liked a lot of the one syllable second mn choices you mentioned [name]Whitney[/name] liked on your other thread :
[name]Camille[/name] [name]Persephone[/name] [name]Bay[/name]
[name]Camille[/name] [name]Persephone[/name] [name]June[/name]
[name]Camille[/name] [name]Persephone[/name] [name]Joy[/name]
and even [name]Camille[/name] [name]Persephone[/name] [name]West[/name] (or [name]Whit[/name]) are nice in my opinion. [name]Camille[/name] [name]Persephone[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] is wonderful, too.

Other than that, I really like :
[name]Camille[/name] Whisteria [name]Fable[/name]
[name]Camille[/name] [name]Vivian[/name] [name]Ocean[/name]

For [name]Cambria[/name], I’d ground her with something more traditional. I want to say [name]Vivian[/name], but the IA sounds repeat, so how about :

[name]Cambria[/name] [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Jacqueline[/name] (I don’t know where [name]Lucy[/name] came from, it just sprang to mind)
[name]Cambria[/name] [name]Jacqueline[/name] [name]Winter[/name]
[name]Cambria[/name] [name]Jacqueline[/name] [name]Fable[/name]
[name]Cambria[/name] [name]Whitney[/name] [name]Ocean[/name].

Good luck! [name]Auburn[/name]

[name]Redford[/name]: Since you seem to be a truck family, I feel like he could never buy a red ford…

When you get a chance could you let us know the top 5 girls names and top 5 boys names - if that’s possible?

[name]Auburn[/name]: [name]Verity[/name], [name]Blythe[/name] and [name]Love[/name] are all very pretty! Thank you. I think [name]Henry[/name] [name]James[/name] [name]Knight[/name] has got to be my favorite combination of [name]Henry[/name] yet! You’ve offered us some very beautiful suggestions. Thank you so much! [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Verity[/name] [name]Fable[/name] is very beautiful, as is [name]Camille[/name] [name]Wisteria[/name] [name]Fable[/name]. [name]Lucy[/name] is cute but unfortunately taken by a grandparent’s dog [name]Cambria[/name] [name]Whitney[/name] [name]Ocean[/name], I think, is very perfect given how much [name]Whit[/name] loves the ocean!

[name]Fay[/name]: Haha, very true point about [name]Redford[/name]. Luckily [name]Whit[/name]'s [name]Ford[/name] is yellow and my [name]Chevy[/name] is red! Part of me likes the combination (I’ve never really thought about it before) but I do wonder if it could ever be a problem. Hmm. Thank you for bringing it to my attention!

[name]Michaela[/name]: Right now, the only boys’ names we are really considering are [name]Redford[/name] and [name]Henry[/name]. As for girls, our top three are [name]Eleanor[/name], [name]Cambria[/name] and [name]Camille[/name]

Thanks everyone!!!

My favourite for a daughter is [name]Camille[/name].

[michaela]

[name]Just[/name] a thought but all your names -
[name]Henry[/name]
[name]Redford[/name]
[name]Camille[/name]
[name]Cambria[/name] and [name]Eleanor[/name] would make a great sibset! If you don’t use them now you could use them for your future children.
