Girl name help!!

mrsdarveaux

Hi
We are expecting a girl in April. We are looking for a name. On our list is Blake, Charlee, Nora, Cora.

I have a boy Carter and a girl Avery. We like unisex as well as girly. But we are finding a name that jumps out.
Riley, Quinn,Olivia,Reagan, Gracie are not options due to family
Thank you so much

I see you like Charlie/Charlee; have you considered it as a nickname for something like Charlotte or Charlize?

Nora and Cora are great. Drop charlee, even if you decide to go "unisex" your daughter deserves a full name, not a nickname. It also doesn't make sense with your other kids names.

Suggest

Sloane
Meryl
Veda
Frances
Rowena
Hazel
Gail

I like Cora

I like Nora best. I agree with the previous poster about Charlee...not keen on nicknames as full names, and I personally am especially not keen on the spelling. If you're doing a boy's name, do a boy's name. Don't change the spelling to feminize it.

For the record, my MIL was really pushing for us to name our baby Charlie (a girl) and suggested Charlotte as the full name to sweeten the deal. They're both lovely (though Charlotte is way too popular for my liking), but we already have a name picked.

Love Blake!

I think @baby'smom had some great suggestions.

TBH- and this may not be popular but since your daughter is Avery (which I love) I would do another unisex name for this daighter... I don't love the way Avery sounds with something super feminine like Amelia for example.

mrsdarveaux

I agree. There some pretty girly names but my daughter has a unisex name and I though. Girly names didn't fit that well. My husband is Riley, I'm Alex (alexandra) and then Carter and Avery. Lots of unisex names.lol so even if it's not unisex, it can't be something super girly.

Kinley is on my list also. Not 100% about it but it's different and not super girly.

With the exception of Blake Lively, I don't really consider Blake unisex.

I think Charlotte, nn Charlee is okay but Charlee by itself is too cutesy for a full name in my opinion.

I love Nora, but I like Cora best with your other kids' names.

It's not very different. I know or have heard of several babies named Kinley. I think it'll end up being a name like Tiffany, very specific to a certain time period and then not really used much. Definitely not a name that will age well.

Then you add the Kinsley, Tinely, Henley, tinsley, Kinsley etc and it's th new Aiden of trendiness.

I love Cora. It's not overly used either, which is nice

Drop Charlee and Blake. They are all boy (even with the ee at the end). Cora and Nora are both really nice. I would go with Cora because I think Nora is getting kind of popular. Given your style, I also suggest Kendall, Hadley, Payton, Reese and Sydney.

mrsdarveaux

That's for all the suggestions. I love Kendall but that's my brother in laws name

Nora or Cora

Blake is my dogs name

Charlee is just awful

LoveLee85

My sons name is Carter. Love the name!
My nieces name is Blake. My sister gets compliments NONSTOP on the name. She's such a Blake, also. Beautiful, tough(3 older brothers), and takes over all attention when she walks in a room(without saying a word). I secretly wanted that name for a daughter but she beat me to it! I have a 'boys' name also, and would like a daughter with it, too. That being said, if parents start naming girls Carter I'll be annoying AF. Ha!

My vote is Blake!

Blake

I find it super bothersome when people claim to like "unisex " names, but worry that their sons name might be associated with girls. Either you like unisex names for both sexes, or you like masculine names and are perpetrating that feminine names, and by extension feminine qualities are inferior.

sexism hurts everyone.

I like Cora and Nora. No to Blake and Charlee.

mrsdarveaux

Thanks ladies!!!

SOO much yes to this.

With that said, I vote Cora.
