help me come up with family name!

kstirton

I'd like our girl name to incorporate a name from DH's family but I'm having a hard time coming up with something we like ...

MIL - Belinda Lou

FIL - Jon Eric

Grandparents: Patricia and Wayne

Maiden name: Reece

DH and all siblings were named J names ... something else we could consider to "Carry on" the tradition.

Thanks for your help!! Like something kind of unique vs. traditional (Patricia, Jon etc...)

Those are all nice names on their own.  Could you not use one as a MN and be done with it? You don't want to smoosh names or be like "we're calling her Penelope after grandma Patricia" are you?

Naming her a J name after her Daddy is lovely, espeically if you happen to love a J name. 

I agree you have nice names to work with. 

What typles of names do you like?

We thought about Jessa

Hubby likes Reece as a middle name. I like Reece as a first name. Trying to find a middle ground there. Could use it as a middle name but I think it sounds kind of masculine to me.

I like Lou as a middle name but he's not fond. I'm trying to get some fresh ideas to throw out at him b/c I feel like I've tried everything lol. I know we have a lot of time but he is extremely picky!!

For the boy we have Gage Alexander - Alexander is Jace's middle name (my husband)

Jessa Reece sounds fine to me. 

Not sure I follow your logic about not liking Reece as a middle because it's too masculine, but preferring it as a first name for a girl.

Yeah I don't really follow it either. lol I don't know maybe it just needs to grow on me. it sounds fine with a girly first name. For a little bit we liked Harper Reece but I felt like it was TOO gender neutral with 2 gender neutral names. Hopefully that makes some sort of sense. Jessa Reece does have a nice ring to it ...

Jessa Reece does have a bit too much of the "ssss" sounds gonig on.  Girl J suggetsions to go with Reece in the middle spot (to keep the J name going):

Johanna Reece

Jacquilne Reece

Jenna Reece

Jane Reece

Louisa Reece.
