Anyone want to name my DD?

mollynpatrick

Please??? :-) We have a handful of names that we both think are ok but we haven't come up with one that I love yet.

DS's name is Evan Patrick. I like traditional names for girls but I feel like I can't go too traditional or formal because then her name won't "go" with Evan. I'm sure most people wouldn't worry about that - but I do. I'd like something with an Irish/Gaelic feel but my DH doesn't like anything too out there (ex. I LOVE Maeve - he hates it).

Here are the names we are ok with....any advice? thoughts? suggestions??

Mary Katherine a.k.a. Mary Kate (maternal great grandmother and grandmother's names)

Quinn Maureen (Maureen is family name). Quinn is trendy but I feel like it "goes" with Evan.

Anna Maureen or Anna Katherine

Lily (our last name starts with an L - too sing-songy?)

Caroline

The last two are late additions that I haven't really obsessed over enough to call them genuine contenders. :-)

Probably way out there but the little model we had out today was named

Sarafina Anne ___________

her agent called her Fin she was sooooooooooooooooooooo cute.

REOM

I love Maureen, why not as a first name? 

Since you don't seem thrilled with the other names that you have, I'll throw out other Irish names that I like (b/c I'm sure you care what I like

Nora, Rory, Jayne, Bridgette/Bridget

But I really do love Mary Kate

I love the nn Finn. I suggested Finley a while back but DH vetoed it.

Katie&Jason2005

Charlotte?

I want someone to name their daughter Phoebe because I adore it, but it doesn't go with my last name (plus, my cousin already used it)

So, I say Phoebe 

Of your suggestions, I love Anna (either MN) and Caroline.

I like quinn and I do agree that it goes well with your ds's name.

Quinn Maureen

I think you have some great choices on your list. I'm usually not crazy about double names, but I think Mary Kate is really cute! I like Quinn a lot too - it would probably be a name we'd consider in the future if it went better with our last name.

Good Luck!

I will name your child if you name mine:)  Funny thing, we have very similiar criteria.  Right now I really like Elizabeth for a first name, but no middle name.  Other names I have considered that DH has vetoed:

 Mary Elizabeth (I like Mary Kate as well)

Natalie

Charlotte

Allison

Leslie

Noelle

If you like Irish names what about Colleen?

I LOVE Maeve.... but I haven't convinced H yet either.

Random suggestions:

Maisie

Norah

Blythe

Callista

Hadley

Juliet

Mara

Tessa

 

... I do like Quinn, Kate, and Caroline.
Evan and Kate sound really cute together

Kelly Madonna

I think Abigail, not just because I have one, but because I think it goes with Evan but still meets your other criteria.
