[name]Hi[/name] Nameberries!
I am in full blown panic mode and need input, suggestions, and most of all, honesty. Our latest addition is due at the end of February/begging of [name]March[/name] and it feels like we just aren’t getting anywhere with her name. I am having major guilt since we had her siblings names picked out by the time we found out what we were having. We would really like to stay away from the top 20 or 30 on the popularity list and chose a name that goes along well with her older sister and brother’s names, [name]Mikayla[/name] [name]Marie[/name] and [name]Riley[/name] [name]Lane[/name] (believe it or not they weren’t as popular when we chose them).
Our last name begins with P so we are also trying to stay away from first names that begin with P and be mindful of not only what the initials spell, but also what her monogram would spell. We all loved [name]Averie[/name] [name]Eileen[/name], but her monogram would have been APE which is just horrible!
The only thing we have been able to agree on is her middle name which will be [name]Eileen[/name] in honor of her great-grandmother.
Here is what we have so far…
[name]Evie[/name] [name]Eileen[/name] (initially we considered [name]Evelyn[/name], but we can’t seem to get past the old lady image)
[name]Melody[/name] [name]Eileen[/name] (alt spelling [name]Melodie[/name])
[name]Meredy[/name] [name]Eileen[/name] (alt spelling Meredie)
[name]Elodie[/name] [name]Eileen[/name]
My husband and I do like [name]Charlotte[/name], but we are very hesitant it seems to be so popular right now and is only showing signs of moving up on the charts.
Names we can’t use (already taken by family members): [name]Zoe[/name], [name]Chloe[/name], [name]Olivia[/name], [name]Janelle[/name], [name]Madison[/name], [name]Harley[/name], [name]Lyn[/name], [name]Lauren[/name], [name]Cassie[/name], [name]Elizabeth[/name], [name]Jennifer[/name], [name]Hayley[/name], [name]Holland[/name], [name]Morgan[/name], [name]Julia[/name], [name]Emily[/name], [name]Emma[/name], and [name]Elle[/name].
I love [name]Isla[/name], but my husband can’t stand it and honestly it does sound too much like the beginning of [name]Eileen[/name].
Thank you in advance for any help or suggestions you can offer…sorry for such a long-winded post.
