Found out today we're having a girl! we have a few names picked out but we feel like we want some fresh ideas. Any suggestions based on our list?
Aurora (Rory) (DH says it sounds like a stripper)
Alessandra (Aly is ok. Don't love the nn sandra)
Cecelia (CeCe)
Iris
Ivy
Sabrina
Scarlett
Serena (my fave but DH is just so-so on it)
Violet* (This one we both like, but we're worried it will get too popular)
Re: our list needs some fresh ideas
Congrats! Not sure if these are even close to what you would consider...
Lydia
Teaghan
Lillian
Maribel or Mirabelle
Adelynn
Thanks for the suggestions! I love Lillian and love love Lily, but we have two dogs Lola and Leo, I feel like that would be too much. My sister says that's a stupid reason not to use a name I love but I don't know.
I also love Mirabelle from your suggestions
Victoria
Kaytlynn
We named our daughter Emmalee (pronounced Emily)
I have also seen Emmaleigh.
I actually love all of your names. Non are too crazy, YouNique, or plain weird I say stop while the stopping is good.
Violet is still far off from becoming trendy. If you love it I would totally go that one.
First, I love your names. Actually, we have gone back and forth on two middle names that are on your list. Our girl name is Marianna ________ Rose. We were at Marianna Aurora Rose, but I also love Allessandra. And my mother's name is Sandra, and she has a very aggressive cancer.
Other names I love: Julianna, Gwendolyn, Katarina, Thalia, Mellissande (I could never really use it, I just love it), Juliette, Margaretta, Daphne, and Anastasia.
I love Gwendolyn! It was my grandma's mn, she was Jennie Gwendolyn. It's different but not bad different.?
Congratulations!
I kep seeing the same popular suggestions over and over (Charlotte, Ella, etc...) so I sorta want something different too just not all that unusual.
These are some that I like that I don't think are overly popular
Megan
Sara
Chloe <--this I can't use but I think it is so pretty!
Marren (I just like the sound of it even though it is different)
Evelyn or Evie (I actually want the name "Ever" but I know there is no way my DH will go for that)
Ellen or Elena
LOVE Cecelia, and nn Cece. I also like Sabrina a lot.
Some others that I think of as similar are: Carina/Karina, Delia, Serena, Fiona, Mariana, Lila, Lily, Liliana, Alisa, Marcela.
I don't think Violet is going to get super popular. Are you associating the popularity with Private Practice and the boom of Addison?
Also I hate Rory. I know a man with that name and think it is uncomfortable to pronounce so I never say it out loud.
