Woohoo! Have 4 hubby approved fns and a few hubby approved middles! Combos?

I adore [name_f]Estelle[/name_f] and [name_f]Elinor[/name_f]!

[name_f]Gwyneth[/name_f] [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] or [name_f]Gwyneth[/name_f] [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] would be lovely. [name_f]Gwyneth[/name_f] is so underappreciated.

They’re all such beautiful names! Your daughter will have a great name whatever you end up choosing. I love [name_f]Elinor[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] the most - i have a huge name crush on [name_f]Blythe[/name_f], and i love the [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Austen[/name_u] reference in [name_f]Elinor[/name_f]. [name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Nora[/name_f] for a nickname? I can’t get over how much i adore [name_u]Arden[/name_u] [name_f]Mae[/name_f], it’s just brilliant!! Seeing as [name_f]Birdie[/name_f] doesn’t seem to obviously derive from [name_u]Arden[/name_u] or [name_f]Mae[/name_f], could you give [name_f]Elinor[/name_f] [name_f]Blythe[/name_f] a similarly less related nickname? I always like it when nicknames aren’t too obviously derived from a full name.

Best of luck!

Thanks for these - we had a delivery room naming disaster last time so I am insisting on taking 4 beautiful choices to the hospital. I forgot to mention that this tiny woman will be close in age to my toddler [name_u]Arden[/name_u] “[name_f]Birdie[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]”, so from a sibset perspective it’s a little tricky. None of my others have nicknames, but they are 10+ years older.

I knew this was you!! I started reading this thread and when I saw your signature, I said: Hey, I know her! Always loved little [name_u]Arden[/name_u] “[name_f]Birdie[/name_f]” [name_f]Mae[/name_f]'s name and story… (@
tuppence42: siblings thought little Arden sounded like a Birdie when she cooed/cried that the nn just stuck!) Congratulations on your newest addition! Now down to names.

I really really really really love [name_f]Clarissa[/name_f] best [name_f]Clarice[/name_f] is one of my ABSOLUTE faves, so I’m a bit biased! I personally love the suggestion [name_f]Clarissa[/name_f] [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] simply because [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] is my first nieces’ name, named after my late grandma

But this is totally not about my style, it’s about yours (however, now I may have to tuck Clarissa Ruby or even Clarissa Mae into my favorites list now)! I really love [name_f]Elinor[/name_f] for you, as well as Maris. Maris seems to reflect your Arden Mae taste somewhat, I believe. And even tho Estelle and Blythe aren’t my personal style, they fit yours so well! I personally love Rosalie. Goodness, I’m afraid I’m not being much of a help here, am I? I love all your choices! You have such beautifully elegant-yet-spunky taste!

Estelle Rosalie, Clarissa Estelle and Estelle Maris are like the darling-est of the darling-est!
