i still can’t believe even you had a [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] sign for me. if we ever get to welcome her, you’ll have to be honorary godmother :laughing:

i agree that [name_f]Hosanna[/name_f] “Honey” can feel a bit much. even when i wasn’t religious, i loved the sound of her, but wonder if maybe a child who grows up to not connect the same way we do wouldn’t care for it
 maybe another [name_f]Annie[/name_f] name that we could use alongside E.lowyn & [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f], someday. i’ve just always loved “Annie” and they seem like perfect sisters!

[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Celeste[/name_f] is gorgeous, and the meaning of “dew from heaven” feels perfect. [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Tess[/name_f], [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Fawn[/name_f], and [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Dot[/name_f] are also amazing :face_holding_back_tears: i have to look into [name_f]Dorit[/name_f]! i’ve never heard her before!

thank you, [name_f]Madison[/name_f]! :white_heart:

both of these names are so precious, honestly i think a little girl would be lucky to have either of them :hugs:

i actually have a baby cousin (well she’s not a baby, she’s like ten but still a baby to me) named r0sie d0rothy :sweat_smile:. i also think dorothy’s meaning “gift from God” is incredibly special.

personally though, i prefer hosanna :honey_pot:

i really like the way that it flows with your daughter’s name, along with sharing the “n” sound which makes them sound nicer when i say them out loud. both honey and annie are such sweet nicknames, where i feel like she could be such a hippie but also a princess.

hosanna theodora
hosanna eleanor
hosanna dorothea
hosanna rosalie
hosanna juniper
hosanna maple
hosanna marlowe
hosanna violet
hosanna wren
hosanna wildrose
hosanna bloom
hosanna beatrice “honey bee”
hosanna clementine
hosanna olive
hosanna hilda
hosanna valley
hosanna ruthie
hosanna marigold
hosanna dove

i got a little carried away there, i hope you like something :sunflower::heart_hands:t2:

I prefer [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]! While [name_f]Hosanna[/name_f] is absolutely gorgeous, it does feel much more religious than what you’ve chosen for E and your babies in heaven. [name_m]Not[/name_m] a deal-breaker by any means, I just think [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] fits in stylistically. It also has the bonus of already honoring [name_f]Mary[/name_f], so you could have freedom in the middle spot!

[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Tess[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Joan[/name_f]

I absolutely love both for you, but I think I like [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] better in your sibset? [name_m]Wynn[/name_m] and [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] are adorable especially :face_holding_back_tears:. Would you consider [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] as honoring the [name_f]Mary[/name_f]? Here’s a few ideas:

  • [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Thea[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_m]Psalm[/name_m]
  • [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Judith[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Edith[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Ilana[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Sunday[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Eliana[/name_f]

Good luck!

we would consider [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] to honor my husband’s grandma [name_f]Mary[/name_f], yes! i also had a great grandmother named [name_f]Rose[/name_f], who was Dorothy’s mama, so really [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] covers all the honoring bases :white_heart:

i adore [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_m]Psalm[/name_m], [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Sunday[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] [name_f]Judith[/name_f]! thank you, [name_m]Ash[/name_m]! :face_holding_back_tears:

I’m blanking on middles but I’m leaning more towards [name_f]Hosanna[/name_f] with the rest of the siblings.
