I am due in [name]October[/name] with a girl and I have no idea what to name her. My husband prefers to wait until the baby arrives to decide on a name; so he is not helping me out at all.
My daughter’s and son’s names both start with “m”. That wasn’t intentional, it just kind of happened that way. So do I stick with an “m” name or just forget about that?
I have always liked the name [name]Emily[/name], but have decided to stay away from it because of its over-popularity. I also like the name [name]Madeleine[/name], but my husband is not a fan.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
As you only have two children already, I don’t think a third, non-M named child would look left out. Also, if you plan to have any more children then it might be wise to break the pattern now in case you then are unable to think of a fourth M name that you love.
Could you give us an idea of your children’s names? If you don’t want to share for privacy, you could say something like “It is a name in the same style as [name]Elizabeth[/name]” - it would help us to pinpoint your taste.

What do you think?
Personally, I wouldn’t choose another ‘m’ name. I think you run the risk of it looking too cutsie, and in my opinion, it feels a bit dated to follow that letter pattern (but that association might come from my grandma choosing to give her 4 kids ‘r’ names).
I would definitely break away from the M theme. [name]Mia[/name], [name]Max[/name], and:
[name]Clara[/name]
[name]Bridget[/name]
[name]Eva[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name]
[name]Iris[/name]
[name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Rose[/name]
[name]Lydia[/name]
[name]Olive[/name]
[name]Daphne[/name]
[name]Celeste[/name]
[name]Amelie[/name]
[name]Isla[/name]
[name]Stella[/name]
[name]Eve[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]
Names which remind me of [name]Mia[/name] and [name]Max[/name], and I don’t think I mentioned before :
Boys :
[name]Finn[/name]
[name]Jude[/name]
[name]Zander[/name]
[name]Zane[/name]
Girls :
[name]Ada[/name]
[name]Alva[/name]
[name]Cara[/name] (caramia means ‘my darling’ in Italian, which may or may not be too cutesy)
[name]Clara[/name]
[name]Cora[/name]
[name]Lila[/name]
[name]Lily[/name]
[name]Nola[/name]
[name]Nona[/name]
[name]Nova[/name]
[name]Willow[/name].
I’m favouring my shorter suggestions from my first post, too, to go with [name]Mia[/name] and [name]Max[/name].

Thank you. These suggestions do help and I am feeling better about not choosing another ‘m’ name. I was starting to feel like I had to, especially because people are already asking me if it’s going to be another ‘m’ name.

I agree and would stay away from M names to avoid a theme…may I ask what you and your partner’s initials are? that may help tie in the names for a sibset.
Our initials are both the same…RM (we don’t have middle names either)
I think I’m starting to like the name [name]Lila[/name]. Of course, that could change tomorrow…but it has my attention for now.
I was thinking [name]Lila[/name] [name]Marie[/name].
[name]Lila[/name] is a lovely name! I think it suits [name]Max[/name] and [name]Mia[/name] as well!

[name]Ruby[/name]
