Hello everyone!
We found out we are expecting a sweet baby girl and we are excited. However, naming her has been sooooo hard.
Please feel free to share genuine opinions and critiques on the names we have so far as this will be her name forever and we want to make sure itās a good choice. Name suggestions would be amazing as well! Something to keep in mind is we know for sure our second girl (if we are blessed to have more) will be named Juliette Joy.
We like feminine girly or elegant names. We favor longer names with nick name capability and we also really seem to like alliteration. We have to use āAnnā as a middle name, either as a second middle or just by itself as itās a family name given to all first born girls. Here are the name combos we have so far.
-
Adeline Ann with the nick name Ada or Elle.
Do you think Elle is too much of a stretch? Our worry about using Adeline is that there are many ways to pronounce and spell this name and we wouldnāt want her correcting people her entire life. We pronounce this name āAdd - a - lineā -
Magnolia May Ann with the nick name Maggie.
Sheād be our little Maggie May. Is Magnolia too southern or too strange? Honest thoughts are wanted! If Magnolia is too strange we do also like Margaret since the name means pearl. May is the month our anniversary is in so we liked May as a middle name. -
Cecilia Ann with the nick name Cece.
We couldnāt come up with any alliteration for the middle name that sounded good (suggestions welcome) but we like that Saint Cecilia is the patron saint of music as music is important to us. -
Violet Ann or Violet Vera Ann.
Does Violet Vera Ann flow weird? Other V name suggestions for the second middle would be good. We do think Violet is pretty but some people have said it sounds too similar to the word violent or the word violate? Do you find this to me true? And we werenāt sure of nick names for this one. -
Ophelia Ann or Ophelia Ocean Ann.
My husband really likes the name Ophelia but didnāt this character die in a play? My husband likes the nick name āOā but iām not too sure. I canāt think of any other nick names, so suggestions would be awesome! We do love the song Ophelia by the lumineers. -
Anastasia Ann. Nick name would be Ana.
Are there issues with pronunciation with this name? We would pronounce is Ana-stay-sha.
Names we love but canāt use are
- Alice (Used with Ann sounds like Allison and we donāt like the sound of it)
- Vivienne (Best friend named her baby this)
- Scarlet (Mother in law said Scarlet the Harlot so we already vetoed but itās so cute)
- Isla (Love this so much but too short)
- Ruby (Same as Isla )
- Mila (Niece is named Mia)
- Olive (Husband doesnāt want to think of food when he says her name)
- Gemma (Nieces name)
- Lucia (I LOVE this name but cousin is name Lucy )
- Rosalie (Cousin names her baby Rosie)
- Lily (My cousin is named Lillian and goes by Lily)
So many names I think we would have already chosen but we both have really big families. So sad!!! Sorry this so long. Please help itās so hard naming a person haha. I appreciate you taking the time to read this!
