Girl Names

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] all, my little one is due 7/29 and were still trying to narrow down her name…we have

[name_f]Hattie[/name_f] (name her [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] colleen)
[name_f]Lyla[/name_f] colleen (or [name_f]Lila[/name_f] spelling)
[name_f]Millie[/name_f] (name her [name_f]Camille[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f])

Colleen is my aunt’s name who passed away so I’d love to use that, and Camille is my mother’s name, so if we go with Millie it seems a nice tribute. Our last name is pagano.

Also do you think Hattie can be a standalone name? And is Lila getting too popular?

Thoughts to help us tiebreak? Or suggestions or names in the same sounding category?

Thanks in advance!

I’d say [name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_f]Colleen[/name_f] or [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Colleen[/name_f] (if not [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] or [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f] as other [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] names though they don’t go as well with [name_f]Colleen[/name_f].)

[name_f]Camille[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f] is a bit of a tongue twister and [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f] seems to overtake [name_f]Camille[/name_f]. [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], [name_f]Camilla[/name_f] or [name_f]Millicent[/name_f] are all [name_f]Millie[/name_f] names that are easier to say with [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f].

I prefer [name_f]Camilla[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] or [name_f]Camille[/name_f] [name_u]Hadley[/name_u]
or even Lila Hadley though Lila Colleen as a combo is an unexpected and pretty name.

Tough choices!

  1. [name_f]Lyla[/name_f] [name_f]Colleen[/name_f]
  2. [name_f]Camile[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f]
  3. [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Colleen[/name_f]
    I love all of these! Not knowing how they sound with your last name this would be the order I rank them in but I don’t think you can go wrong with any of these.

I like [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Colleen[/name_f] very much, but I wonder if it would be tough to make [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] stick for [name_u]Hadley[/name_u]. I also really like [name_f]Camille[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f], and I might go with that if a nicknames important to you. [name_f]Lyla[/name_f] [name_f]Colleen[/name_f] is pretty too but the other two would be a little more unexpected.

5

[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Colleen[/name_f] is very sweet! I also love [name_f]Camille[/name_f] “[name_f]Millie[/name_f]” but with a different middle name. And I also prefer the [name_f]Lila[/name_f] spelling.

6

They are all lovely choices. I love [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] and I do think it works fine as a stand alone name. [name_f]Camille[/name_f] and [name_f]Lyla[/name_f] are also beautiful names, but I’d vote for [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] [name_f]Colleen[/name_f] :)!

I love [name_f]Camille[/name_f] nicknamed [name_f]Millie[/name_f] but would like [name_f]Camilla[/name_f] even better. Then, I think you could get away with [name_f]Colleen[/name_f] as a middle. [name_f]Camilla[/name_f] [name_f]Colleen[/name_f] is very sweet. C.C. could be another nickname option.

[name_f]Lyla[/name_f] is okay, but I don’t think it works with [name_f]Colleen[/name_f]. Too many L’s. I know there’s a lot in [name_f]Camilla[/name_f] [name_f]Colleen[/name_f], but they are spaced better and the c consonants help with saying them.

I don’t really see [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] working for [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] and would prefer [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] alone (sure, it’s fine) or as a nickname for something else. [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] [name_f]Colleen[/name_f] is a lovely combo.

I adore [name_u]Hadley[/name_u]! I also like [name_f]Lyla[/name_f] (I’d pronounce [name_f]Lila[/name_f] as [name_f]Leela[/name_f] and like this even more).

9

I have a soft spot for [name_f]Millie[/name_f] and family names. [name_f]Camilla[/name_f] [name_f]Colleen[/name_f] would get my vote.

10

[name_f]Lyla[/name_f] [name_f]Camille[/name_f] Pagano would be my pick, but [name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_f]Colleen[/name_f] Pagano is cute, too

11

I like [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] [name_f]Colleen[/name_f] with [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] as the full name. Second choice would be [name_f]Camilla[/name_f] [name_f]Colleen[/name_f]. I do like [name_f]Lila[/name_f] but it might blend in with popular [name_f]Layla[/name_f], [name_f]Leah[/name_f], [name_f]Ella[/name_f], and [name_f]Lily[/name_f].

12

[name_f]Camille[/name_f] ([name_f]Millie[/name_f]) [name_f]Colleen[/name_f] is adorable. You could have a sister named [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f]. [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] and [name_f]Millie[/name_f] seems like a SUPER cute sibset to me.

[name_f]Lorelei[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f]
[name_f]Camille[/name_f] [name_f]Colleen[/name_f]

Thanks for all input! Due yesterday and still somewhat torn! I think we’re eliminating the lovely [name_f]Lyla[/name_f] due to popularity and adding the name colette to consider so choices are:

[name_f]Hattie[/name_f] [name_f]Colleen[/name_f] Pagano
[name_f]Colette[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Lettie[/name_f]) [name_f]Camille[/name_f] (or [name_u]Morgan[/name_u]) Pagano
[name_f]Camille[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Millie[/name_f]) [name_f]Colleen[/name_f] Pagano

Any last minute insight would be much appreciated!!

I’m not a fan of [name_f]Millie[/name_f], and [name_f]Camille[/name_f] seems outdated imo.
I adore [name_u]Hadley[/name_u], but don’t like [name_f]Hattie[/name_f]. [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] is my favourite of these though.
[name_f]Lyla[/name_f] is beautiful - I’d pronounce [name_f]Lila[/name_f] like [name_f]Leela[/name_f] so there may be some confusion there.

  1. [name_f]Lyla[/name_f] [name_f]Colleen[/name_f]
  2. [name_f]Camille[/name_f] [name_f]Kathleen[/name_f]
  3. [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_f]Colleen[/name_f]

To me, all three names all work very well on a little girl born right now.

16

I love [name_f]Millie[/name_f] an [name_f]Hattie[/name_f]. I don’t care for [name_u]Hadley[/name_u].

17
  1. [name_f]Camille[/name_f] “[name_f]Millie[/name_f]”–such a beautiful tribute
  2. [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] as a standalone name–I vastly prefer it to [name_u]Hadley[/name_u]
  3. [name_f]Lyla[/name_f]/[name_f]Lila[/name_f]–I love this name but since I know so many, it has lost some sparkle for me
  4. [name_u]Hadley[/name_u]
18

I think [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] is very cute but I am not a fan of [name_u]Hadley[/name_u]. I also like [name_f]Lila[/name_f]. I think my favourite, though, is [name_f]Camille[/name_f] with the nickname [name_f]Millie[/name_f], it’s really lovely :slight_smile:
