Baby Names

Fun name generator and help with DD #2 name please!

On a whim I did this baby name genie generator and wouldn't you know!?  Out pops the name DH keeps coming back to no matter how many times I use veto power! 

Our DD1 is Eloise.  I like old fashioned names and uncommon names.  He really likes the name Olivia (as does the Baby name genie, apparently), which is lovely but way too popular in our area.  I want Olive but he thinks it is too weird.  I also like Mabel and Blythe, both of which he is okay with, but I am struggling because I don't love any of the names as much as I loved Eloise when I was pg with my first DD. 

So, experts, which name would you choose: Mabel, Olive, or Blythe? 

Or do you have any other suggestions?  TIA!

  • Love your taste in names! Olive is so cute. It's not weird to me at all. Yes, a little spunky but I love unique names too. Although it's very similar to Olivia, and you know how popular that name is right now.

    I don't like Mabel, it sounds too old-lady-ish to me. I can see that it might come back in style though in a few decades.

    Blythe, I like that it's different and cute. It's just OK to me but it's the kind of name that grows on people.

    Some similar style names:
    Charis
    Harper
    Hollis (a more uncommon girl name from the same time as Mabel. Love it.)
    Raine
    Etta
    Calla (like a calla lily.. so pretty)
    Verity
    Briar
    Briony
    Leora
    Isla
    Margo or Margot

  • Sorry, I like Olivia a lot more than your choices.

    Suggestions - Alice, Josephine, Ada, Cecilia, Lucille, Clara, Matilda, Meredith, Daphne, Susanna, Flora, Helena, Gwendolyn, Margaret, Harriet, Rosalie

  • Eloise is a beautiful name :P. 

    Of the ones you listed, I would fight hard for Olive. I LOVE it and wish we hadn't used it for our dog pre-babies. I think it's a perfect sister name for Eloise b/c both are unique and spunky.

    Other suggestions:

    Maeve, Lydia, Matilda, Rosalind, Josephine, Genevieve, Bridgette

    GL! 

  • Blythe

     

    I agree w/ PP. I've tried that Genie before, and he is off his rocker.

    Last one he gave me was Alicia Felicia. Confused

  • Mabel is too old fashioned for my taste, even though I do like old fashioned names.

    I definitely vote Blythe. It is one of my top 5 girl names. I used to love Olivia too, but I think it is becoming too trendy.

    Another old fashioned name I love is Cora.

  • My vote would be Mabel

  • Thanks guys for the great suggestions!  DH and I will have to name shop tonight when he gets home.  Hopefully we can agree on something (if not, I am prepared to tanrtum until he agrees to Olive ;)
