Stuck! with 5 weeks to go!

Girl Names
1

My husband and I are expected #3 in just 5 weeks! We have hit an impasse and are hoping for some advice. Our current children are [name_u]Noah[/name_u] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] and [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] (middle names are family names). Middle name for this little girl will likely be [name_f]Grace[/name_f], after my husband’s grandmother.

We have a really hard time with girls names (I find boys names much easier!). We like classic, timeless names (for example, both [name_f]Emma[/name_f] and [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] were in the top 10 in the 1880s!), and clearly popularity doesn’t really phase me. Right now the only name we agree upon is [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], which I like, but I keep thinking there is something else out there I am missing. Names we have discussed but rejected are:

[name_f]Anna[/name_f] (too close to [name_f]Emma[/name_f])
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] (husband doesn’t like it)
[name_f]Abigail[/name_f] (I don’t think it is “the one”)
[name_f]Tessa[/name_f] (husband thinks it is too ‘cutsey’)
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f] (husband doesn’t think it is “the one”)

Any suggestions you can send my way would be helpful! Thanks!

Some names in the top 300 in the 1880s:
[name_f]Adeline[/name_f] (instead of [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f])
[name_f]Madeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f]
[name_f]Myra[/name_f]

And these weren’t popular in the 1880s, but maybe could work for you?
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u]
[name_f]Jillian[/name_f]
[name_f]Ginger[/name_f]

12

I think [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] is beautiful!

13

I think [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] is absolutely beautiful and sounds great with [name_u]Noah[/name_u] and [name_f]Emma[/name_f]!

14

[name_u]Noah[/name_u], [name_f]Emma[/name_f] {and}

[name_f]Abigail[/name_f], [name_f]Adeline[/name_f], [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f], [name_f]Caroline[/name_f], [name_f]Charity[/name_f], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], [name_f]Eva[/name_f], [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Hannah[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Lydia[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f]

{“antique charm” names}

I loved the suggestion of [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f].

16

You could go [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] - sort of a combination of [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f] and [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] - and beautiful paired with [name_f]Grace[/name_f].

[name_f]Adeline[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f], and you could use the nickname [name_f]Addie[/name_f].

17

[name_u]Noah[/name_u] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] and:

[name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] is beautiful and if you both agreed on it why not? However you wanted more (and I totally understand!) so:

[name_f]Rachel[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]
[name_f]Leah[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]
[name_f]Theresa[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]

You other childrens are so classic and short. These are the best I could come up with. Looks like you have a lot of suggestions.
