Looking for suggestions for baby #3! Our daughter will be joining…

Big [name_f]Sister[/name_f]: [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] [name_u]Ainsley[/name_u]
Big Brother: [name_m]Declan[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u]

A few names on a long list currently are [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f], [name_f]Sabrina[/name_f], [name_f]Tessa[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]…But DH and I have a really hard time agreeing on names, and some of these he has dismissed and won’t budge on! :frowning:

Open to first and middle suggestions based on the naming style of our first 2.

Thanks!

I love [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] and [name_f]Tessa[/name_f].

If hubby isn’t feeling those names, you could do a variation or a similar sounding name so you get the same “feel” but the sound may be different enough to work for both of you.
Instead of [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] try: [name_f]Coraline[/name_f], [name_f]Coralie[/name_f], [name_f]Cordette[/name_f] or [name_f]Coretta[/name_f], [name_f]Corinna[/name_f], [name_f]Corinne[/name_f]
Instead of [name_f]Lily[/name_f] try: [name_f]Lillian[/name_f], [name_f]Liliana[/name_f], [name_f]Lilah[/name_f], [name_f]Lilia[/name_f], [name_f]Layla[/name_f]
Instead of [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] try: [name_f]Felicia[/name_f]
Instead of [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] try: [name_f]Emilie[/name_f], [name_f]Emilia[/name_f], [name_u]Emlyn[/name_u], [name_f]Emma[/name_f], [name_f]Esme[/name_f], [name_f]Eve[/name_f], [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], [name_f]Eveline[/name_f], [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]
Instead of [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] try: [name_f]Teresa[/name_f] (nickname [name_f]Tessa[/name_f]) or similar ending [name_f]Vanessa[/name_f] (nickname [name_f]Nessa[/name_f])

Thanks for the feedback!! This is so hard. [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] is my favorite. I’ve loved it for quite a while. But DH does NOT love it, and I’m afraid he’s just going to “give in” because I keep mentioning it. But I don’t want his daughter’s name to be something he just “settles” on. We know a family with a [name_f]Cora[/name_f] DSs age, so that’s blocking that version of it a bit.

I like [name_f]Fiona[/name_f], and I think he does do, but I’m stuck on the [name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_f]Fiona[/name_f] connection from Skrek. That is probably dumb, but it’s where my head goes. But I might be able to get over it.

We both like [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]. But there’s the confusion of the [name_m]French[/name_m] = leen, Modern = line pronunciation I’m stuck on. I wonder if there will always be confusion? Also, our DD would have a baby cousin about a year older names [name_u]Emerson[/name_u] they call [name_f]Emmy[/name_f]. They live quite far away and we don’t see them all that often so I might be able to get over the similarity. Plus, I actually wouldn’t want that nickname because I have an [name_u]Abby[/name_u] and wouldn’t want and [name_u]Abby[/name_u] and and [name_f]Emmy[/name_f] - too close.

We both like [name_f]Lily[/name_f], but it’s pretty common (but then again, so is [name_f]Abigail[/name_f])…

We know and frequently see people with these so they are out, although they are lovely - [name_f]Audrey[/name_f], [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f], [name_f]Ella[/name_f], [name_f]Madeline[/name_f].

I like [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] a lot, not sure what DH thinks, but its my boss’ daughter’s name, so it feels an potentially awkward choice.

I like [name_f]Tessa[/name_f], but DH hasn’t commented either way on that one.

My Mom’s [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] so i can’t do any version of that (i.e. [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]) - we don’t like to name out kids after anyone in the family (someone gets hurt).

He really likes [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]. I do as well, but don’t want people calling her “[name_f]CHAR[/name_f].” Ugh.

Anyway, I’m babbling. THANKS FOR THE INPUT. We’ll keep working on it! We have until [name_f]February[/name_f]!

Maybe he’ll just magically fall in love with [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]…
