Girl Names
1

We are having a baby girl in [name_f]June[/name_f] (first child) and we cannot agree on names.

[name_f][/name_f]

The #1[name_f][/name_f] name I like is [name_m]Kit[/name_m] which my husband also likes but hates and cannot get past the potential nn [name_f]Kitty[/name_f]. For me, I like names that sound familiar but are not in the top ~300. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband likes familiar names and does not care about popularity.

[name_f][/name_f]

Other names I like: Louise/Louisa, [name_f]Ramona[/name_f], [name_f]Greta[/name_f], [name_m]Drew[/name_m]

[name_f][/name_f]

Names my husband likes: [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Piper[/name_f], [name_f]Harper[/name_f], [name_m]Murphy[/name_m] (I like this but hate the meaning), [name_f]Norah[/name_f]

[name_f][/name_f]

The one name we both sorta like is [name_f]Davie[/name_f].

[name_f][/name_f]

Our last name is two syllables with two hard R sounds. Hit me with your suggestions!

[name_f][/name_f]

(Names we had both liked but vetoed for various reasons: Lucille/Lucy & Rose/Rosie)

Congratulations! It sounds like you both have some great taste, but also different preferences when it comes to popularity and vibe. I also totally understand the concern about nicknames like "Kitty.”

[name_f][/name_f]

Since you like [name_m]Kit[/name_m], [name_f]Davie[/name_f], [name_m]Drew[/name_m], and [name_m]Murphy[/name_m], here are some more masculine or gender-neutral style names that might fit:
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Ellis[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Emery[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Quinn[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Reese[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Remy[/name_m] / [name_f]Remi[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Rowan[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Sage[/name_f]

[name_f][/name_f]

For vintage-style feminine names similar to Louise/Louisa, [name_f]Ramona[/name_f], and [name_f]Greta[/name_f], I thought these might also resonate:
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Adeline[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Eloise[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Estelle[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Mabel[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Marlowe[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Thea[/name_f]

[name_f][/name_f]

And based on your husband’s preferences, here are a few names that could feel familiar yet fresh:
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Avery[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Freya[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Maisie[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Maia[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Sadie[/name_f]

I think [name_m]Kit[/name_m] is darling, and I don’t think [name_f]Kitty[/name_f] is a definite issue. You might be able to avoid it. If family members need a pet name, maybe suggest [name_m]Kit[/name_m] [name_f]Kat[/name_f] or something?

[name_f][/name_f]

But on with the other suggestions!

Congratulations :tada:

[name_f][/name_f]

Firstly I really like [name_m]Kit[/name_m] I think the name is really cool and outdoorsy with almost storybook flair. I think [name_m]Kit[/name_m] could just be known as [name_f]Kitty[/name_f] but you could nip this in the bud by correcting and saying we prefer just [name_m]Kit[/name_m]. However appreciate how it may put you off. I do really like [name_m]Drew[/name_m] however not overly keen on [name_f]Davie[/name_f] and [name_m]Murphy[/name_m] but looking at some unisex options you may like…
