DH and I are having a hard time agreeing on a first name for a girl. Our DD is [name]Miriam[/name] [name]Katherine[/name] ([name]Miriam[/name] is a family name) and our boy name picked out is [name]Dominick[/name] [name]Randolph[/name] (both family names). If we have a girl, her middle name will most likely be [name]Margarett[/name] (pronounced [name]Marguerite[/name], also family name).
So far, I like [name]Willa[/name], [name]Ruth[/name], [name]Evelyn[/name], [name]Lydia[/name], [name]Edith[/name], [name]Alice[/name], [name]Jane[/name], [name]Hazel[/name]
DH likes [name]Wilhelmina[/name], [name]Esther[/name], [name]Juliette[/name], [name]Gwendolyn[/name], [name]Estelle[/name], [name]Victoria[/name]
I feel our styles are somewhat similar but we just can’t seem to find the right fit. Any other suggestions to add to our lists will be appreciated. Thanks!
I like all of your choices, but my favorites are [name]Willa[/name] and [name]Estelle[/name]. [name]Lydia[/name], [name]Esther[/name] and [name]Ruth[/name] are probably stylistically the closest match and go very well with [name]Miriam[/name]. [name]Jane[/name] seems a bit plain for [name]Miriam[/name], and [name]Victoria[/name] and [name]Juliette[/name] seem like a departure; that said, if you are trying to depart from the Old Testament-y feel, I don’t think they are so far off that they would jar with [name]Miriam[/name]. You could go with [name]Wilhelmina[/name] and use [name]Willa[/name] as a nickname?
I really like [name]Ruth[/name] [name]Margarett[/name], [name]Esther[/name] [name]Margarett[/name] or [name]Lydia[/name] [name]Margarett[/name] with [name]Dominick[/name] and [name]Miriam[/name]. [name]Dominick[/name], [name]Miriam[/name] and [name]Ruth[/name]/[name]Esther[/name]/[name]Lydia[/name] sound lovely together.
I love [name]Willa[/name] [name]Margarett[/name]…
