Hello all,
I need help thinking up potential names for a sibling (sex unknown) for my daughter, [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Maisie[/name] (but she goes by [name]Charlie[/name] ALL THE TIME)
I feel like I would prefer something that has a good nn, maybe because names ALWAYS get shortened and being preparing by choosing a name with a GOOD nn beforehand doesn’t leave you with a short form you don’t like.
It needs to be original, as in: not common - I don’t want her to be one of five in her class, but not weird or outlandish.
Another problem I’m having is that my husband is nixing a lot of names that I like…
Basically it has to be a name that I simply [name]ADORE[/name]…and have found a lot that I like…or ones that I love but aren’t good candidates for one reason or another (ie: I love ([name]LOVE[/name]) [name]Holland[/name] for a girl but can’t call her [name]Holly[/name] for short and that’s sort of a gimme so that name is out). I’ve done a lot of name research so I don’t feel like there’s going to suddenly be a name that I come across that I have not yet considered but I guess that’s what I’m hoping for here!!
Some that I like but hubbies not really on-board are: cordelia nn cora, anabel nn annie, lila (love it but don’t love [name]Delila[/name] as a long form), [name]Linden[/name] (boy, nn??)…
Any suggestions???
