Baby Names

At hospital and still no name for baby girl...

We cannot decide on a name!! DHs list is Emma and Jessica, my list is Eleanor and Ruby, our "maybe" list is Nora and Molly. Big sister is Josephine nn Josie. Mn probably Mae. Any suggestions?? I want a name that is still traditional but not overused...many of the reasons I like DD1s name. DH says this baby has "spunk" and is a "spitfire" and wants a name to match. thanks!!

  • Veronica, we almost used it.  NN Vera.  We ended up going with Emilia because DH loved the name Emma.  Oh and both of our kids didn't have names for 2 days.
  • I think Jessica and Josephine would be so cute together!

    Depends on whether you will have a Jess or Jessie. I think Jessie and Josie are a little too close.

    Im a Jessica that goes by Jess unofficially. Ive never loved my name. A June12 mom has a baby Jessica and I love it on her baby. I think it's adorable.

    Ruby!!!  Cute, traditional, spunky.

    Exactly! I also think Molly fits too, but not a fan of it with Mae.

  • I'm not too sure about the Eleanor Ruby suggestion. It's too close to Eleanor Rigby IMO.

  • I like Eleanor Mae, nn Ellie.  Ellie and Josie sounds really cute as a sibset!

    Ruby Mae and Molly Mae are cute too.

    I agree with pp that Jessica, nn Jessie sounds too much like Josie.

    We didn't name dd2 until 2 hours before we were discharged from the hospital.  You have time :)

    Jessica Mae - nn Jessie which sounds spunky for a girl  

    I think Josie & Jessie sound kind of cute together

    I think Piper is the spunkiest name of all though ;)

  • Congratulations! I add my vote to the Ruby Maes.

    Ruby!!!nbsp; Cute, traditional, spunky.


    Exactly my thoughts! Love Ruby.
    Dislike Jessica, and Emma is way too popular.

    I like Elanore, Nora and Ruby in that order.
    I dislike your hubby's choices but love all of yours!
    Good luck!! Go w/ your gut!
  • lisamoelisamoe member

    Ruby and Emma are my favorites.  If you want to lean more traditional, I would go with Emma.  I would pick Ruby if you want to be more modern.

    GL!

  • I feel Jessica is a bit dated 80's next to Josephine.
    Emma isn't spunky at all to me.
    I vote Ruby Mae, which is very spunky and suits Josephine perfect.

  • To me Eleanor and Ruby are "old lady" names. I like Emma Mae a lot, but it is VERY popular. Jessica to me is dated - think early 1980s. I really like your maybe list of Nora, but I would spell it Norah, and Molly. I think Norah Mae is really nice. I don't like Mae as a MN for Molly. Good luck! My vote is for Emma Mae or Norah Mae.

  • There isnt 1 name that you both agree on? Why do you each have your own lists?
    I like Emma best.
  • HBirdieHBirdie member

    Emma and Jessica do not say "spunk" or "spitfire" to me... I really don't like Jessica at all, seems overused and boring. Emma is cute but it's more of a pretty, cutesy name than it is spunky. Eleanor also seems pretty, not spunky.

    Ruby Mae is my brand new little cousin's name! I really like it and it's spunky. I also loooove Nora and Molly, they're both on my list! I'd vote Nora Mae as my number one choice, then Ruby, then Molly. :) Congratulations!!! This is so exciting for you!

  • Josie was always one of my favorites!  I like Ruby, too!  Or Ellie.  Not too much of a fan on the other names, but go with what you feel is right!  Picking a name is tough!  
  • g8trkimg8trkim member
    I like Eleanor (NN Nora) best. I think it goes really well with Josephine and has "spunk" too.

    I'm sure she wouldn't be asking for help if there was 1 name they agreed on already. I feel like I'm pointing out the obvious here, but sometimes it is hard to find names you both like.

    OP, I love Emma and Eleanor best. I like that you can do Eleanor nn Nora and use one of the names you both like. But Ruby is more spunky than Emma and Eleanor, I think, and is also a nice choice.

  • I have a Norah and she is definitely spunky and a bit sassy lately too ;)  My sister is Molly.  She is sweet, funny and has many friends but not snobby.  I love Ruby on your list too!

  • I like Ruby and Nora, both with Mae. I think Jessica with a potential nn Jess is too close to Josie. I wouldnt want a name that close to my sister.
