Suggestions wanted for daughter #3

Girl Names
1

Hello everyone! This is my 1st post, though I’ve been reading regularly for the past few months. Our 3rd daughter is due in 4 1/2 weeks & I would love some middle name suggestions. My husband is absolutely no help when it comes to names. :slight_smile: Please also feel free to give opinions on my names & suggest some I may have overlooked.

[name]Helena[/name]
[name]Clementine[/name]
[name]Luella[/name]
[name]Mirabel[/name] or [name]Maribel[/name]
[name]Rosemary[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Laurel[/name]
[name]Lorelei[/name]
[name]Cordelia[/name]

[name]Klara[/name] [name]Jewell[/name] - These are my grandmothers names. I actually prefer the more traditional spellings of these names, but is it appropriate to change spelling when honoring a family member?

Should probably add that our last name is one syllable.

[name]Hi[/name] there! I love your name choices, [name]Lisa[/name], and don’t think there’s any problem with spelling [name]Klara[/name] with a C. (Like you, I prefer it this way.) Nameberry had a blog about this issue, and updating relatives’ names was deemed perfectly proper and acceptable.

[name]Helena[/name] ([name]Will[/name] you be pronouncing it Hel-len-uh, Hel-leen-uh, or Hel-[name]LAY[/name]-nuh?)

[name]Helena[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]

[name]Love[/name] [name]Clara[/name] [name]Jewell[/name] and [name]Klara[/name] [name]Jewell[/name]! I think I love [name]Clara[/name] the most.

[name]Hi[/name] [name]Jill[/name]! You’ve certainly offered some pretty names to contemplate. A few are on my list, [name]Charlotte[/name], [name]Ivy[/name], [name]Juliet[/name], & [name]Louise[/name]… my mother’s middle name, but most I hadn’t thought of.

I prefer the pronunciation Hel-[name]LAY[/name]-nuh for [name]Helena[/name]. At the moment [name]Helena[/name], [name]Luella[/name], [name]Clementine[/name], [name]Laurel[/name], & [name]Clara[/name] are on my short list, though we won’t decide until we meet her. I’ll look for the blog entry about updating family names. Think I read this, but I’ve read so many posts I can’t be sure.

Thanks so much for your help!

Thank you [name]Susan[/name]! My husband & I have considered the name for our two daughters, but for whatever reason chose other names. We’ll have to wait a few more weeks to see if the name suits her. : )

Best wishes to you, [name]Lisa[/name]! Please keep us posted! :slight_smile:

[name]Lisa[/name], I think all your names are pretty. :slight_smile:
[name]Cora[/name], that is one awesome list of names! Wow!
