The name angst is over!!

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] all! I’ve been pestering y’all for half the year it seems about the name for baby #2. My gut was right, and we had a lovely little girl, born at home two weeks early on [name_u]July[/name_u] 16th. After spending a few hours with her and our three finalists, [name_f]Forsythia[/name_f], [name_f]Eudora[/name_f], and [name_f]Euphemia[/name_f], we decided on [name_f]Forsythia[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]. She joins her sister, [name_u]Flannery[/name_u] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f]. Thanks for all the help! [name_f]Forsythia[/name_f] is a lovely yellow flowering shrub that grows all over the area we live in, and [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] is for my [name_f]MIL[/name_f], [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] and her grandmother, another [name_f]Margaret[/name_f].

Congrats! Beautiful choice. [name_f]Glad[/name_f] you and baby are doing well.

Congratulations, lovely name :slight_smile:

Congrats to you and your family on the safe arrival of your second daughter, [name_f]Forsythia[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]. An unusual but memorable choice.

Congratulations : )

[name_u]Unique[/name_u] and utterly lovely!

Congratulations! I think I remember being intrigued by seeing [name_f]Forsythia[/name_f] in your signature (if I’m correct?) but I did think it went well with [name_u]Flannery[/name_u]. Best wishes, she’s got a lovely name to match her sister’s.

Thanks, everyone!

So excited to see this news!! Congratulations!! :slight_smile: lovely choice!

Congratulations! I’m glad you went with [name_f]Forsythia[/name_f], it’s wonderful.

What an unusually beautiful pick from the garden! I’m curious to know if big sister goes by a nickname, also what this baby would go by if you were to choose a shortened version?

Congratulations!

Congratulation! [name_f]Forsythia[/name_f] was the name I chose on your poll, and I love the familial honoring of [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] (It’s a family name for me as well, hence [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] and [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]) All the best!

I love forsythias! Great name!

Congratulations! Beautiful choice!

YAY! You went with my favourite! Congrats :slight_smile:

No nicknames (or at least nn’s derived from the names themselves) for either so far, though [name_f]Forsythia[/name_f] is a hard name for a not-yet-2-year-old, she says something like “Sippipee” now.

[name_f]Lovely[/name_f] choice! Congratulations! Does she have a nn? Wondering what it might be:)

Oh wow, I was waiting to hear! So happy for you! I remember making my case on here for [name_f]Forsythia[/name_f]! :slight_smile: Congratulations.

Congrats! The names go so well together! And I love the nature connection :slight_smile:

Congratulations!! Her name is absolutely beautiful. :slight_smile:
