Have a new (nonexistant fantasy) girl name!

ablou

We aren't even considering TTC#2... like, my Mirena will probably "expire" first, and I got it after Bean was born.

Bean's name is Charles Stewart; his "girl name" was Harper Morgan, but Harper has become so very popular, and while I still love it, I'm afraid that it's too popular for my tastes now (also, one of my close friends has a baby girl named Harper.  I rarely see her, but, still).

But I've decided that I love love love  the name Loretta. 

Loretta Morgan.  It sounds like a song!

I like it! I have to agree with you that Loretta sounds lyrical and melodic; I think it's a fun, energetic, unique name, and Loretta and Charles make a cute sibset--much better than Charles and Harper (though I adore Harper), which seems a little "ar" heavy.

Great choice!

Love Loretta a thousand times more than Harper, especially with brother Charles.

Love Loretta Morgan...much, much (and much) better. And Loretta and Charles are both 7 letters long which makes the name nerd in my super happy.

i like it better than Harper, seeing that the name has offically became a unisex name.  you can't go wrong with a classic, old-fashion name. good job

Eh... unisex has never been an issue for me.  I'm actually one of those people that likes traditionally male names & last names on girls.

I really like the name Loretta and I agree with the pps that it sounds great with Charles.

Charles was on our list of boys names.

I love Loretta! What a lovely name! I dislike Harper, so maybe it's for the best. :P hehe

I really like Loretta Morgan too. Harper not so much.

I like Loretta. One of my best friends named her daughter Lyric, just a suggestions. The dads name is Elric, maybe that why

Harper was what DS would have been named if he was a girl, but I feel the same way you do about it now.  I like Loretta, but it seems a little country to me.  Probably because of Loretta Lynn and also because my grandma's very country family has some Lorettas in it.  Etta is a cute nn, though.

It's funny... Loretta Lynn was the inspiration!  I love how unapologetic, kind, and honest she is.  I have no problem with country roots.  I'm a city girl, but I love the country, too. Originally, DS's girl name was Ella Rae (after my great-grandparents), but my DH thought it was waaaay too country!
