Need Help Naming Our Baby Girl!

ehp8 · July 26, 2013, 7:37am

[name]Hi[/name] All! My husband and I are expecting twins, and recently found out that we are going to have a little boy and a little girl! We’re adding these two little ones to our very large brood (him and I already have two daughters together, but we each have children from previous relationships). I’ve already started with lists for our new babies, and I’m trying to find a name that I absolutely love, but my husband and I still haven’t found one we love! The names we have on our list right now for our daughter are:

[name]Elowen[/name] (I love this name, but I haven’t quite sold my husband yet)
[name]Cecilia[/name]
[name]Alice[/name] (after my husband’s mother. I don’t love the name but it does hold significance to us)
[name]Felicity[/name]
[name]Annabelle[/name] (our girls contributed this one. I’m not too wild about it)
[name]Seraphina[/name]

Our daughters names are [name]Avery[/name] ‘[name]Ava[/name]’ [name]Jane[/name] and [name]Grace[/name] [name]Elspeth[/name], and I have my two daughters [name]Lucy[/name] [name]Isobel[/name] and [name]Catherine[/name] [name]Abigail[/name], and my husband’s four, [name]Matthew[/name] [name]John[/name], [name]Michael[/name] [name]Tyler[/name], [name]Kylie[/name] [name]Rose[/name], and [name]Christopher[/name] [name]Bryan[/name].

Any help and contributions would be much appreciated!

My favorite is [name]Cecelia[/name]. I love that name so much I think [name]Alice[/name] fits really well with your kids’ names as well. My picks in order:

[name]Cecelia[/name]
[name]Alice[/name]
[name]Felicity[/name]
[name]Seraphina[/name]
[name]Elowen[/name]
[name]Annabelle[/name]

[name]Do[/name] you guys have the boy’s name picked out? That would help. If not, what are the choices? Maybe we can help pair up names for you.

[name]Alice[/name] and [name]Felicity[/name] stood out for me from your list.
good luck and congrats! (:

[name]Cecelia[/name] and [name]Felicity[/name] both are beautiful and would go with your children’s names! Good luck and congrats!

I really like [name]Elowen[/name] and [name]Felicity[/name]

[name]Elowen[/name] - a life time of spelling and pronounciation horror for your child
[name]Cecilia[/name] - best one!
[name]Alice[/name] - too common
[name]Felicity[/name] - okay with your sib set but think [name]Cecilia[/name] reaches out and expands the sibset without going too far
[name]Annabelle[/name] - dont let your kids name more of your kids
[name]Seraphina[/name] - way to frilly, doesnt fit in your sibset, trendy

[name]Cecilia[/name] - lovely, fits with your current kids.

Great list, I love, [name]Alice[/name], [name]Cecilia[/name] and [name]Felicity[/name].

[name]How[/name] about [name]Alice[/name] [name]Elowen[/name] or [name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Elowen[/name]?

Suggestions:

[name]Gwyneth[/name]
[name]Arwen[/name]
[name]Camille[/name]
[name]Corinne[/name]
[name]Arden[/name]

[name]Cecilia[/name] means ‘blind one’ and if she ever watches the movie ‘Aquamarine’, [name]Cecilia[/name] wouldn’t be a good choice. I like [name]Elowen[/name].

Right now our ideas for our son are [name]Luke[/name], [name]Peter[/name], [name]Samuel[/name], and [name]Jack[/name]. Thank you for your response and I look forward to your feedback!

ehp8 · July 26, 2013, 5:39pm

Our choices for our son are [name]Peter[/name], [name]Zachary[/name], [name]Jack[/name], [name]Luke[/name], and [name]Samuel[/name], but we are still open for suggestions as well! Thank you for your input and I look forward to your feedback again!

[name]Camille[/name] is so adorable I will definitely be adding it to the list! Thanks!

ehp8 · July 26, 2013, 5:41pm

What do you think of [name]Celia[/name]? or [name]Cecily[/name] instead?

saraann12 · July 26, 2013, 6:00pm

I like [name]Cecilia[/name] and [name]Alice[/name].
For your boys names I like [name]Samuel[/name] and [name]Peter[/name]

I think [name]Cecilia[/name] would work well with your sib-set.

For middles you could do

[name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Alice[/name] (since that name holds significance, plus it would sound fab next to [name]Cecilia[/name])
[name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Margaret[/name]
[name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Violet[/name]
[name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Poppy[/name]
[name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Gwyneth[/name]
[name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Gwendolyn[/name]
[name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Ruth[/name]
[name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name]
[name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Blair[/name]
[name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Ashlyn[/name]
[name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Moon[/name]
[name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Harlow[/name]
[name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Helen[/name]
[name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Danielle[/name]
[name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Mary[/name]
[name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Paige[/name]
[name]Cecilia[/name] [name]Julianne[/name]

Oooh [name]Felicity[/name]!!!

Question for you berries: If we do name our daughter [name]Cecilia[/name], what would her possible nicknames be, besides [name]Celia[/name]? Because right now we’re debating whether or not we would go with [name]Cecilia[/name] or just [name]Celia[/name]. What do you guys think?

mountains_and_miro · July 31, 2013, 4:57pm

I’ve heard “CC” (“Cee-cee”) as a nickname for [name]Cecilia[/name] in the past. [name]Lia[/name] would also be a neat choice, but I doubt it would come up naturally unless you really made it a habit of calling her that. My vote is for [name]Celia[/name] over [name]Cecilia[/name], especially if you think you’d use it anyway!
