can't figure out a girl name

Sarah VandeheySarah Vandehey
in Baby Names
My fiance' and I both agree on a boy name that we love, but coudn't agree on a girl name at all, I just found out we are definately having a girl, so now we are clueless. I love the name Carmen but can't think of other names, my biggest issue when it comes to girl names is I feel like there are way to many fad names that are out there for kids now days and I am not a fan of them. Does anyone have ideas of cute names that aren't too fad or mod?

    I think Carmen is cute and enduring. It is not overly popular but common enough that people have heard it before and is not "weird." I have a baby book (The Best Baby Names Treasury) that give alternatives to the top 10 baby names in America. These ARE NOT alternate spellings. They're other names that have the same feel and style as the popular ones but aren't as common and aren't over the top unique. I'd go to your local bookstore and check it out. It's only a couple of pages, 98-99, so you wouldn't have to buy it. Maybe something will pop out at you.

    I am a big fan of "vintage names". Names that people know and have been around for a long time but haven't been though of in a while. I liked Louisa, Rosalie, Cecilia/Cecily, Clara, and Amelia.

    Good Luck! You might try nameberry.com for more inspiration.
