Need help for our first daughter's name!

Girl Names
1

My husband and I are finally expecting our first girl (after 3 boys)! We struggled a LOT with our boy names, but our sweet baby girl will have 3 awesome big brothers: [name_m]Haddon[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m], [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] (dad wants to call him [name_u]Theo[/name_u] EVENTUALLY, but everyone calls him [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] right now), and [name_m]Judah[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u] (occasionally [name_u]Jude[/name_u] but rarely).

He really likes the name [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] for a girl, but I prefer [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]. We both kind of like [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f], [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], and [name_f]Emily[/name_f], but only kind of. (Also my god-daughter’s name is [name_f]Emma[/name_f], and [name_f]Emily[/name_f] cuts it a little close for my liking.) We haven’t yet found a name we [name_u]LOVE[/name_u].

Obviously, we have a fairly traditional selection of names (although I’m hearing now that [name_m]Judah[/name_m] is considered “hip” these days :D). Our last name is a common Japanese surname: Tanaka, and since we’ve picked fairly classic-sounding, relatively uncommon names for the boys, we’d like to continue that with this girl!

Names we already have thrown out for good: [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_f]Ava[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Caroline[/name_f], [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], [name_f]Audrey[/name_f], [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]/[name_f]Sophie[/name_f], [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f], [name_f]Ella[/name_f].
Names we can’t consider for other reasons: [name_f]Mabel[/name_f] (niece’s name is [name_f]Maple[/name_f]), [name_f]Astrid[/name_f] (dog’s name), [name_f]Leah[/name_f], [name_f]Susannah[/name_f], [name_f]Rachel[/name_f], [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Lydia[/name_f], [name_f]Hannah[/name_f], [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Emma[/name_f], [name_f]Louise[/name_f].

(Have I mentioned how picky he is/we are? And how impossible this task has been for us?)

From your front runners, I like [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] best with your sibset-- it fits the traditional vibe really well. [name_f]Alice[/name_f] or [name_f]Eve[/name_f] would also be great choices with your last name. I’d stay away from girl’s names ending in A to avoid rhyming with your last name.

Some other possibilities:

[name_m]Samuel[/name_m]/[name_u]Sam[/name_u], [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]/[name_u]Theo[/name_u], [name_m]Judah[/name_m]/[name_u]Jude[/name_u], and

[name_f]Abigail[/name_f]
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]
[name_f]Camille[/name_f]
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f]/[name_f]Katherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Claire[/name_f]
[name_f]Edith[/name_f]
[name_f]Ellen[/name_f]
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Esther[/name_f]
[name_f]Frances[/name_f]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]

[name_f]Naomi[/name_f] was our first pick, but when you google it some…less-than-appropriate stuff starts popping up! Hahaha.

I really like many names suggested, but Dad over here does not. [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] and [name_f]Maisy[/name_f]/[name_f]Maisie[/name_f] have made it on our to-consider list. [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] is still my top choice, dad won’t budge on [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], and [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] seems like our only middle ground. Let’s hope we can decide on something we love before she makes her appearance!
