3rd Trimester

Thoughts on our girl names...

Hi ladies!

We have narrowed it down to 2 girl names and just wanted to get your thoughts on them...thank you in advance! Both middle names are family names.

Lauren Evelyn

Emerson Claire 

I thought by now we would have a clear standout, but it hasn't been that easy! 

I appreciate it!

Re: Thoughts on our girl names...

  • I tend to like less "common" names, so my choice is Emerson Claire.  However, both are great options!
    Love: 8.10.99
    Marriage: 12.18.04
    DD1: 5.19.10
    DD2: 4.11.12
    #3 EDD 4.23.16

  • Love Emerson, it was one we talked about.

  • Love, love, love Emerson Claire.  Though like a pp, I like the more unconventional names.  We actually looked at old baby names from the 1800s and up to decide on our name.

  • I think both are beautiful. I like Lauren Evelyn because I prefer more traditional names, but I think Emerson Claire flows a little better. Have you thought about keeping both and deciding when LO arrives. We were team green and actually went in with 1 boy name, but 2 girl names because we liked both. We agreed right away which one fit DD when she came out.
  • Thank you so much!  I really appreciate the feedback!!

  • They are both very cute, personally I love Laren Evelyn!

  • I have to say, while I like less traditional names, Emerson makes me think of the poet Ralph Waldo Emerson. As a teacher, if I saw the name Emerson on my roster, I would assume the child was a boy, so although I love Claire, I would vote the other one.

  • I like both names, but IMHO, Emerson to me is a boy's name. If I saw it written down somewhere I would assume it was a boy. I like the name Claire though!

    BFP #1 6-8-11 EDD 2-19-12. DD born 2-3-12 via induction due to pre-e.
    BFP #2 9-7-13 EDD 5-22-14. It's a GIRL! DD#2 is on her way.
  • I think it may be one of those things that we wait until we see her.  It's so hard to pick the perfect name without seeing her!  :)

  • I like Lauren Evelyn.  Lauren Claire would be cute too.

  • I vote Lauren, it's so pretty. My favorite cousin is named Lauren so I'm a little biased. Emerson is just not my style.

  • I absolutely LOVE Lauren Evelyn. Very classic and pretty! I also love Lauren Claire and think it flows a little bit better too.

    I consider Emerson to be a masculine name and really don't like it on a girl. Sorry.

  • Neither. I vote for Lois Lane. (In other words, what do YOU want?)

  • Love Emerson!

  • Ha!  It changes daily!!  :)  We had our boy name all decided on, but some reason, the girl name is more of a challenge!  

    I love hearing the responses from everyone, lots of good thoughts and ideas.  

    I do know that some people think of Emerson as a masculine name, so I think that does worry me a bit, but I also think by pairing it with Claire and most likely a nickname of Emmy, there will hopefully be no gender confusion, but it's hard to say.

    Thank you all so much!!

  • Lauren Evelyn by a landslide.

    Emerson is a boy's name.  She would experience gender confusion her whole life.

  • I think it is silly to assume a child will experience "gender confusion" their whole life...ridiculous.

    Emerson, back in the day, yes, was more of a boys name. Times are changing. I like both names and think Emerson Claire sounds cute. I'd call her Emy for short if I knew her ;)  But like another post said, and I agree.... it is your child. What do YOU like?

  •    They are both beautiful names, but I personally like Emerson Claire the best. But, my opinion is a bit biased... We have a niece named Emerson and one of our names we were tossing around this time was Claire. :)

       Best of luck to you and your new little addition! :)

  • I love Emerson Claire-so pretty!
  • I love Lauren Evelyn!! Evelyn was one of the names I liked for a girl!
  • Lauren Evelyn or Lauren Claire. Very pretty

  • My choice would def by Emerson Claire.  I LOVE it!  A little different, but classic at the same time!
  • I really like both (obviously since we're naming our daughter Lauren).

    They are different naming styles, but I seriously love them both. Emerson is really pretty and definitely not as common.

  • I'd go with Lauren Evelyn. Emerson is all boy to me.

  • I think I am the minority when I say I have ALWAYS pictured Emerson being a girls name. Possibly because my friend has a DD with the name? Anyways, I love Emerson Claire. Lauren Evelyn sounds a little too clunky for me... Maybe Laurel Evelyn? I think that sounds more "flowy," FWIW.

  • I love the name Emerson! I'm having a girl and naming her Aydin Nicole. Personally I think it is somewhat rude for people to tell you what is a girl's name and what is a boy's name. Go with what you what!

  • honestly I think Evelyn Claire is prettier than both of them :)
  • I think you should do Lauren Claire.
