Sweet baby is a GIRL! Anna, Charlotte, Caroline..oh my!

Girl Names
1

Today had my ultrasound. So thankful all looks great, and baby is a sweet girl. This is our fourth girl in four years… Which really made hubby and I think. Our other three girls have s names ( [name]Sophie[/name], [name]Sarah[/name], [name]Serena[/name]) … Would this baby feel left out without an s name, or is another s name just one too many? They are each a year apart (3,2,1 and baby due in Nov.)
Our other girls do not have s names, but they are quite a bit older ( 19, 14, 12 & 8)
In a strange “twist” the nurse was new, so hubby asked her, her name… [name]Tessa[/name]…lol! Hubby likes it, I am not sold… [name]Just[/name] seems " lacking" … So…here we go!

[name]Anna[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Joy[/name]
[name]Caroline[/name] [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Madeline[/name]
[name]Grace[/name] [name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name]

These are the ones we keep coming back too, more than any of the others. So, thoughts, opinions, suggestions, anything you got :slight_smile: thanks!

I should say, we were all set on [name]Luke[/name] [name]Elliot[/name] for a boy…that was so easy for us… Why are girls names so hard?

3

I would go with a name that sounds s-like but is not an S. so based on your list, i would say:
[name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Jane[/name]

5

I’d pick either [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Jane[/name] or [name]Grace[/name] [name]Caroline[/name].

6

I love [name]Anna[/name] [name]Caroline[/name].

7

Yay, another girl!

Thinking of your last name, I like [name]Caroline[/name] and [name]Charlotte[/name] most. And [name]Madeline[/name], actually! [name]Madeline[/name] [name]Felicity[/name], [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Felicity[/name], or [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Jane[/name] get my vote off this list.

Someone was talking about the “s” sound - what about [name]Cecily[/name]? Cute with your last name! [name]Cecily[/name] [name]Anna[/name] [name]Jane[/name]? [name]Cecily[/name] [name]Jane[/name] [name]Theresa[/name]?

Congratulations! That’s awesome. My favorite out of your list is [name]Anna[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Joy[/name], it just flows the best. Plus- I love both [name]Anna[/name] and [name]Joy[/name]. However, I’d like to suggest a double barrel name since you have so many good choices. I like [name]Anna[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name] a lot!!

9

[name]Anna[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Joy[/name]! I absolutely adore the combination of [name]Anna[/name] and [name]Caroline[/name]. Two incredibly gorgeous names put together.

10

[name]Anna[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] gets my vote too! Beautiful!

11

[name]Anna[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Joy[/name]! I won’t give up on it!!!

Congratulations on your little girl! [name]Luke[/name] [name]Elliott[/name] was very handsome!

L- I love the sound of [name]Cecily[/name] but not sure I can get over the meaning… Let me look up the meaning of [name]Cecilia[/name]… Is it the same? I love the sound of it too. Oh, hubby shot down [name]Morgan[/name] and [name]Sydney[/name]…I do really like [name]Morgan[/name] but he was quick to say no.

Lots of votes for [name]Anna[/name] [name]Caroline[/name], not sure why I just can’t get behind it? I do think it is a beautiful combo, and getting my [name]Joy[/name] in there makes me super happy,…maybe I am totally over thinking… Maybe i just can’t believe it was that easy?? I mean it does have that elegant, sweet, slightly southern feel I adore…don’t you think?

My younger girls [name]Love[/name], [name]Love[/name] [name]Madeline[/name]! My 8 yo keeps reminding me in the book that I read to them " the smallest of them all was [name]Madeline[/name]. " it’s totally tugging at my heart strings, but I worry about mispronunciation, I just do not love [name]Madelyn[/name]…maybe I am over worried about that… Plus I am not sure of a middle… [name]Madeline[/name] [name]Jane[/name]?

13

[name]Anna[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] is my favorite! And I actually really like [name]Tessa[/name]. All great choices!

14

I love [name]Anna[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Joy[/name] or [name]Grace[/name] [name]Caroline[/name]!

15

If you spell it [name]Madeline[/name], I think you’ll get the -line pronunciation. [name]Madeline[/name] [name]Joy[/name], [name]Madeline[/name] [name]Felicity[/name], [name]Madeline[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Jane[/name], [name]Madeline[/name] [name]Johanna[/name], [name]Madeline[/name] [name]Joy[/name]-[name]Anna[/name]? I really like [name]Madeline[/name] with your last name.

Sorry hubby said no to [name]Morgan[/name]!

[name]Cecily[/name] and [name]Cecilia[/name] have the same meaning. I thought [name]Cecilia[/name] was on your list at one time?

[name]One[/name] I just thought of is [name]Natalie[/name]. Or [name]Valerie[/name]. Pretty with your last name, not heard everywhere, nice with [name]Jane[/name]!

16

[name]Anna[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Joy[/name] and [name]Madeline[/name] [name]Grace[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] get my votes!

Oh my goodness - it’s a girl! I am so happy for you! Now for the names: :wink:

I love [name]Anna[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Joy[/name] (as you know!) If [name]Anna[/name] is too plain for you, how about [name]Anna[/name]-[name]Joy[/name] [name]Caroline[/name], and calling her [name]Anna[/name]-[name]Joy[/name]?
Another idea is to call her by the sweet nn of [name]Annie[/name] - I love [name]Annie[/name] with your last name. :slight_smile:

My second choice is [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Jane[/name], although it is a bit heavy on the number of syllables. Would you call her [name]Caroline[/name]?

[name]How[/name] about [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Jane[/name]?

Thanks so much everyone!!

L- Last night I spent some time looking over my various lists, and YES! [name]Cecilia[/name] was on one of them (sorry, I have had so many lists, I think I am having a hard time keeping track!)
I do like the name [name]Natalie[/name]!.. I considered it when I was pregnant with [name]Emma[/name], as I remember thinking that it went well with [name]Kelsey[/name]… :slight_smile: But do you think it would be strange for a child not born around [name]Christmas[/name]? As it means born on [name]Christmas[/name]? Though this baby is due Nov…

K- I really like [name]Anna[/name]-[name]Joy[/name]… Hubby isn’t big on it… It’s the [name]Joy[/name]. He has never been a huge fan of it for some reasons, and seems much happier with it in a second middle name position… to add, if we went [name]Anna[/name] [name]Caroline[/name], he really is pushing to hyphenate it… [name]Anna[/name]-[name]Caroline[/name]…

So- I think this morning I am going to try to make a “bare-bones” list of the ones we seem to both agree and both really like… and see where we are.
I’ll be back… :wink:

[name]How[/name] about [name]Esther[/name]?

  1. [name]Tess[/name] is a nickname for [name]Esther[/name].
  2. It has the ‘es’ sound at the beginning without starting with S.
21

A non S name is probably best. My pick from your list is [name]Charlotte[/name] though, since it has an S sound, but doesn’t start with an S.
Other names like this are [name]Chantal[/name], [name]Celeste[/name], [name]Chantilly[/name] (cute nn [name]Tilly[/name]), [name]Cynthia[/name]…
[name]Natalie[/name] means birthday, not necessarily born on [name]Christmas[/name]. I love the name [name]Natalie[/name]! This could be your last chance to use it!
