Baby Names

Love an opinion...

DH and I are starting TTC this summer and we have already started talking about baby names. I thought it would be nice to get some opinions from total strangers.

Ada Lynn

Lucy Catherine

Anna Rose

Also, if you like Anna Rose would you use it as a double name or just go by Anna? We are southern so double names are nothing unusual where we live.

Thanks!

Re: Love an opinion...

  • I like Lucy Catherine the best.  Anna Rose is nice too, but I'd have her just go by Anna rather than make it a double name.

  • I really like Anna Rose, I like the double name. We have an Emma Grace and everyone calls her that no matter what we do.

  • of all the names, i would like anna catherine. or you could name her annabelle rose.

    I thought about this, but I worried that Annabelle said with a southern accent would sound too much like an extra from Gone With the Wind.

    Also, Lynn, Catherine and Ann are family names. My mn is Ann and I got it from my grandmother, so I was hoping to keep as close to the namesake as possible while still making it feel updated. (I always felt like Ann was the most boring middle name, but Anna felt cute.)

  • I vote Lucy Catherine.
    Blank!
  • I love Anna Rose, followed by Ada Lynn

    Both very very pretty!

    Good Luck TTC, and agreeing on names with DH.  I know both have been very trying for us hehe Smile DH and i have the hardest times agreeing on names, the only name weve agreed on 100% is the girls names, the boys names are the hardrest for us!

    Thanks! It has been the opposite with us...we are loaded up with boy names with both like but girl names are a different story. I think DH only likes names that seem common, which exactly what I'm NOT looking for. Oh well, at least we've got time.

    Ditto.

  • I like Lucy Catherine and Anna Rose

    I also like Lucy Rose, Catherine Rose, and Catherine Anne :) Those names have tons of great possible combinations!

  • I love Lucy....hehe. I actually really like that name, DH vetoed it, or else it would be on mine.
  • I like Anna Rose...I'd probably call her by both Anna and/or Anna Rose.  I don't really care for names that are strictly meant to be double names though.

  • Loving Ada!?

    Loving it so much I'm off to ask DH what he thinks of it.... (and we're not starting TTC until December! Isn't it fun to think of names?!)?

  • There was a kid at the school where I used to teach named Anna Rose and she went by both names.  When you think about it, it's only 3 syllables, so it's not any longer than Madelyn or Stephanie when you say it out loud.  I think it's a really pretty, classic name.  I love the first name Lucy, too, but I'm not as big on Catherine or Ada Lynn.
  • Bruin,

    my husband and I have been talking about names for at least 2 years already, and we're not starting TTC for at least 2 more years!  We just love talking about potential names (and we both have big time babies on the brain even though we know we shouldn't have a baby right now).  It's good to know that I'm not the only one who obsesses so far in advance!  Although you at least are planning on TTC this year, so you are not as crazy as me :)

    Ada really kept jumping out at me every time I was looking at vintage names.

    I think DH is still deciding whether he loves it or not...but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

  • I think it's smart to start talking about all of this baby stuff in advance (if that's an option of course!). DH and I used to only talk about names that we liked...and I always said "I know I'm not ready for a baby because all I care about are names and cute clothes". But now we've expanded our discussions...just today we had a conversation about diapers! HA. We're ready now! hehe.

    I did float Ada past my DH - and he didn't shoot it down right away! Always a good sign!

    What about Ada Rose? (But I know you said Lynn was a family name...)?

  • I like Lucy Catherine.
  • I like Anna Rose as a double name, but I can see Anna being the primary nickname.

  • I have always loved the name Anna. Was on the baby name list. I'd go either way with it either double or just Anna. It sounds nice either way.

  • my vote is for Lucy Catherine.  I also like Anna Rose.
  • Ada Lynn - I like Ada but not Lynn

    Lucy Catherine - Don't mind Catherine as a mn but dislike Lucy as a given name (only like it as a nn)

    Anna Rose - Love Anna, dislike Rose.

  • Ada Lynn is my favorite but what about Catherine Ann.... since Ann is the namesake, you could call her Catie Ann... just thought I would throw it out there for you!

  • I love Anna Rose. Anna has been our girl name since we started dating - we may not even use it, but we've always loved it. I think it sounds fine solo or as a double name. ?Just don't hyphenate it.?

    Lucy is very cute btw. ?
