Outside opinions as we cull our girls list

[name_f]Louise[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- [name_f]Louise[/name_f] is on my list as a middle (Evangeline [name_f]Dagny[/name_f] Louise) but it’s mostly been filler until this point [name_f][/name_f]- but reading about your husband’s love for her is making me love [name_f]Louise[/name_f] in my own combo even more! [name_f][/name_f] I love [name_f]Lou[/name_f] and Lulu; I think it goes so well with your boys too!

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- gorgeous name, and has some fun nn options (Indie, Inga), and it goes really well with your boys’ names imo too! [name_f][/name_f] I like [name_f]Louise[/name_f] a little more today, but I love [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] and have for a long time.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Fern[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- works well with your boys’ names but I cannot get on the [name_f]Fern[/name_f] bandwagon, sorry :rofl:[name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f] [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Love[/name_f] the associations to your husband’s family, but maybe [name_f]Fern[/name_f] could be a middle if not a first?

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Susie[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- still feels middle aged to me, I have a hard time liking it. [name_f][/name_f] I do love [name_f]Sosie[/name_f] and [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] or even just [name_f]Susan[/name_f], though!

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Maxine[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- another one I haven’t been able to get into, but she works great with your boys! [name_f][/name_f] It still feels very much old lady for me, and there are other -ine names I like more. [name_f][/name_f] But it feels like it belongs in the same pea pod as [name_m]Warren[/name_m] & [name_m]Clyde[/name_m]! [name_f][/name_f] It’s a great name objectively; just not for me.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Bea[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- like this, even more than the timeless [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]. [name_f][/name_f] I do like [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] best of the [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] family, but I could easily see you with a [name_f]Bea[/name_f] or a [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]! [name_f][/name_f] I could see how [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] feels fussy for you, and what a shame about [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]! [name_f][/name_f] If you want something longer than [name_f]Bea[/name_f] I suppose you could do anything with a B in it that you like [name_f][/name_f]- even [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] or [name_f]Ruby[/name_f] or [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] etc., etc.!

[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- (see [name_f]Bea[/name_f] lol)

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Priscilla[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- lovely name, I like the original [name_f]Prisca[/name_f] more myself though. [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Priscilla[/name_f] does seem to have the vintage vibe that suits your sons’ names a little better, though! [name_f][/name_f] I think of the [name_f]Priscilla[/name_f] in [name_m]Johnny[/name_m] Tremain[name_f][/name_f] which I loved[name_f][/name_f] as a kid. [name_f][/name_f] I also love the tie to [name_f]Aquila[/name_f] and [name_f]Priscilla[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- since [name_f]Aquila[/name_f] is so high on my list, not sure I could use [name_f]Prisca[/name_f] or [name_f]Priscilla[/name_f], but I read a novel a few years back focused on Priscilla’s story and I fell in love with her. [name_f][/name_f] She’s a lovely name.

From your combo ideas, I like [name_f]Louise[/name_f] [name_f]Jeanine[/name_f], [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f]Fern[/name_f], [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f]Magdalene[/name_f], [name_f]Maxine[/name_f] [name_f]Annemarie[/name_f], [name_f]Maxine[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_f]Maxine[/name_f] [name_f]Audrey[/name_f], [name_f]Bea[/name_f] [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] (!!), [name_f]Bea[/name_f] [name_f]Jeanine[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Sunday[/name_f], etc. best! [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Ingrid[/name_f] [name_f]Fern[/name_f] & [name_f]Bea[/name_f] [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] are by far my favorites; I would love to see [name_f]Louise[/name_f] [name_f]Magdalen[/name_f] or [name_f]Louise[/name_f] [name_f]Sunday[/name_f], too.
