I thought I would post here as a last ditch effort… We have been trying to find a way to use [name_f]Greer[/name_f] as middle name for baby sister and an “A” name for the first name. But have sort of run into a dead end.
[name_f]Greer[/name_f] is for my husband’s grandmother and the A name is for my grandmother [name_f]Alma[/name_f], and I am due around her birthday! We love [name_f]Greer[/name_f], don’t love [name_f]Alma[/name_f], but I loved her dearly as a person, so trying to find a way to honor her.
Older siblings are [name_m]Marshall[/name_m] and [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]. Last name is 1 syllable ends in -odd.
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] [name_f]Greer[/name_f] - Always loved the name, afraid there are too many D’s with combo with last name and [name_f]Addie[/name_f] nn problem (way too many of them)
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f] [name_f]Greer[/name_f] - Seems to match the spunk of [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] but not a long time favorite just a new idea
[name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Greer[/name_f] - [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t love [name_f]Anna[/name_f] but love [name_f]Annie[/name_f]. We named daughter [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] not [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] bc that’s what we wanted her name to be but my husband won’t agree to just name this baby [name_f]Annie[/name_f] so I’m holding out on [name_f]Anna[/name_f]. [name_u]Anne[/name_u] is really short with [name_f]Greer[/name_f] and our 1 syllable last name.
[name_f]Annelise[/name_f] - the [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] tie is too similar I think but I do like this name (my husband won’t go for [name_f]Annika[/name_f] sadly). We can’t seem to find another long name for nn [name_f]Annie[/name_f] that works.
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Greer[/name_f] - seems the best name sake for [name_f]Alma[/name_f], my husband loves it, I struggle liking it.
Popularity is an issue for me, really don’t want to go with something over used currently. Trying to find something classic like my other kids names. And I prefer a name not likely to be nicknamed, there is such a simplicity to my others, just go by their names and that’s it! Which is why [name_f]Annie[/name_f] has been problematic. [name_m]Just[/name_m] love it for some reason on its own.
FYI - I posted another thread ditching the [name_f]Greer[/name_f] all together and using [name_f]Alma[/name_f] as a middle name bc we are running out of time and need to find something we love!
