We have 4 days until my c-section and still undecided on a name! We thought we were set on [name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Imogen[/name] but DH just couldn’t get on board with [name]Imogen[/name]. It then switched to [name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Violet[/name]. And now I am getting cold feet. We currently have a 2 year old son, [name]Henry[/name] [name]William[/name]. Our top 3 picks are:
4 days? We better get you a name. I suggest you narrow it down to 3 options you love and take them with you. S
Since you have three favorite names, just find some middle names to go with it.
[name]How[/name] 'bout…
[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Margot[/name]
[name]Louisa[/name] [name]June[/name]
[name]Harriet[/name] [name]Alice[/name]-- My favorite with [name]Henry[/name]
[name]Love[/name] [name]Harriet[/name] [name]Alice[/name]! Thanks for the middle name suggestion : ) We aren’t planning on officially naming her until we see her, but I just thought I would be a little more sure of things by now lol
[name]Louisa[/name] is my favorite of your choices!
For middles…
You could go with a short, spunky middle like [name]May[/name] (like [name]Alcott[/name]), [name]Ivy[/name], or [name]Pearl[/name]
or
Something more full-sounding like [name]Katherine[/name], [name]Nicole[/name], or [name]Charlotte[/name].
I also vote for [name]Louisa[/name]. I think [name]Louisa[/name] [name]Violet[/name] or [name]Louisa[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] (suggested by flamingo) would be beautiful. Good luck!!
I think you should stick with [name]Beatrice[/name]. It sounds the best with [name]Henry[/name], [name]IMO[/name]. I think [name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Louisa[/name] or [name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Louise[/name] sound lovely. Congratulations!
Someone mentioned [name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Louise[/name] which is a great combol, I think [name]Beatrice[/name] is a lovely with [name]Henry[/name] so here are a few more middles for [name]Beatrice[/name].
[name]Louisa[/name] is my favorite of the bunch. [name]Harriet[/name] is too close to [name]Henry[/name]. ([name]Harriet[/name] is a form of [name]Harry[/name] which is a form of [name]Henry[/name]). I think you should branch out.
Then again you already agreed on [name]Beatrice[/name] maybe you should go with gut.
As for middle names, rather than pick random names you like, maybe you should try to find one that’s meaningful for both of you. I would look at family names, character names from books, movies, tv, names of mutual friends, etc. Month names are almost alway good as middle names, so pick any month with special meaning for you (ie when you got married, when you first met etc.) and try it on. Good [name]Luck[/name]!
Hmm. I agree that [name]Harriet[/name] is too close to [name]Henry[/name] (I have a [name]Henry[/name], too, and removed [name]Harriet[/name] from consideration for that reason). I love [name]Louisa[/name] and [name]Beatrice[/name] with one-syllable middles - maybe [name]Louisa[/name] [name]Jane[/name] (my fave), [name]Louisa[/name] [name]Rose[/name], [name]Louisa[/name] [name]Grace[/name]? [name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Jane[/name], [name]Beatrice[/name] [name]June[/name], [name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Kate[/name]?
I agree with [name]Emily[/name] that the middle spot is a perfect place for a name with special meaning. Good luck!
I think [name]Beatrice[/name] is lovely. You both can obviously agree on it so go with [name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Violet[/name]. A very pretty name. I actually prefer [name]Beatrix[/name], I think it is so spunky. I don’t know it that is a consideration or not but either are gorgeous.
I think [name]Pearl[/name] would be a great middle name for all three. I like [name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Pearl[/name], but I think I prefer [name]Harriet[/name] [name]Pearl[/name] ([name]Hattie[/name]) the very best. I’m just not a big fan of [name]Louisa[/name].
Additionally, I want to point out if you’re calling her [name]Hattie[/name] most of the time it’s not going to be that close to [name]Henry[/name]. Besides [name]Henry[/name] and [name]Harriet[/name] sound adorable.
And then I realized that you are going in for a C-Section on [name]April[/name] 10th. I go to be induced with my daughter on [name]April[/name] 10th as well. I have a clear favorite in my signature but I’ve had to work on possible alternatives in case I look at her and the name doesn’t suit her. It’s okay…sometimes things just don’t go as planned. It’s good that you have several options to take to the hospital. I’ll take special care to look for your birth announcement when I’m back from the hospital! Good luck mama!!! <3
I like [name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Louisa[/name], as well.
For your other options:
[name]Harriet[/name] [name]Amelia[/name]
[name]Harriet[/name] [name]Valentine[/name]
[name]Louisa[/name] [name]Joanne[/name]
[name]Louisa[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
I’ll take special care to look for your birth announcement when I’m back from the hospital! Good luck mama!!! <3
