Here are the names I am looking at these days that dh hasn’t completely shot down (goodbye [name]Esme[/name] and [name]Isla[/name]):
[name]Olivia[/name] (nn Livi)
[name]Juliette[/name] (nn [name]Jules[/name])
[name]Eleanor[/name] (nn [name]Ella[/name])
Middle Names:
[name]Gray[/name] - my maiden name
[name]Anna[/name] variations - after my grandmother and dh’s sister
And dh’s favorite is [name]Guinevere[/name]. Not likely for him to win the use of that name, but if you think of a lovely combo using it that would be helpful
[name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Guinevere[/name] [name]Gray[/name] - stunning stunning stunning! [name]Love[/name] the alliteration of [name]Guinevere[/name] [name]Gray[/name]. Best of both worlds!
He doesn’t care for [name]Genevieve[/name] or [name]Gwyneth[/name]. I think [name]Gwen[/name] is a great name - but don’t want to give a name that I will never call the child, so I can’t bring myslef to make [name]Guinevere[/name] a first name. He loves [name]King[/name] [name]Arthur[/name] stuff. Seriously.
[name]Olivia[/name] [name]Gray[/name] is my absolute favorite! It’s so regal and classy sounding! After that I’d like [name]Juliette[/name] [name]Anna[/name] or [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Gray[/name]
I really love [name]Olivia[/name] [name]Gray[/name]! Very quirky and sweet. I like the idea of [name]Olivia[/name] [name]Guinevere[/name] or [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name], as well… what about:
With brother [name]Noah[/name] I’d love a little [name]Olivia[/name]. They are both names with good history to ground them, but popularity at the moment ties them together, as does the letter O. Also, the names are alphabetically aligned - a subtle connection, and not, to me at least, one where you’d have to make baby #3 a P baby if you have one.
[name]Olivia[/name] [name]Gray[/name] is just gorgeous. If [name]Anna[/name]'s your preference for a middle name, then I like [name]Eleanor[/name] [name]Anna[/name] with [name]Juliette[/name] [name]Anna[/name] a close second.
If you like [name]Vera[/name], a little [name]Vera[/name] [name]Gray[/name] evokes the sounds of [name]Guinevere[/name]…
