Girl name input

lislynn

Hi all,

I'm a first time poster on the baby names board, but I'm a long time stalker.. .I mean lurker. I had my first baby last November, Evelyn Lorraine, and am due with my second little girl at the end of Dec/1st part of January. I'm really struggling with the name of our second daughter. We tend to like more traditional, classic, vintagy style names. Some first names that we've tossed around are -

- Anna (nice, but simple. Need a good middle name with this one)

-  Annelise (not sure of spelling yet. We're worried that this might be too much of a mouthful when combined with Evelyn)

- Annabel (cute, but is it too out there?)

- Charlotte (beautiful name, but quite popular according to the boards)

- Hannah (pretty name, but popular)

Given these name styles, do you have any suggestions for first and middle names? - or do you have any favorites from this list? Also, some family names for middle name consideration are Katherine, Mary, Alice, and Florence - I'm just not sold on any of them.

Thanks for the help ladies!!

I love Alice as a first name.

Alice Katherine

Also, I love Annabelle (spelled that way).

Annabelle Elise

Really love Charlotte, too, but it is a bit more trendy.

Cecilia

Pearl

Rose

Marielle

Lilla

Beatrice

DD is Annabel so obviously I am a fan--  she was VERY close to being Annelise.  If this baby had been a girl it would have been Elise, Emily, or Savannah... not sure if any of those are up your alley or not.

Georgia

Virginia

Caroline

Carolyn

Claudia

Suzanne

I like Anna and Annabel. A good middle name is Marie.

Rose.9.6.03

Obviously, I like Evelyn and Charlotte together.  

I love Anna.  I think Anna Katherine and Anna Mary are nice.  

I love Annelise, but I do think it will be a ton twister with Evelyn.  

Annabel is eh for me.  Too close to all the Isabelles/Bellas that  are out there.

Hannah is pretty.

 

We picked Evelyn first (it was a family name) and the other names we considered besides Charlotte were:

Clara

Greta (which would have been my choice, but DH wasn't fully on board)

Rosalie

Violet

Lucy

Millicent

 

Also - names we didn't really consider, but I love:

Lydia

Iris

Josephine

Penelope

Genevieve

Camille

Ada, Leona and Elaine are a few of my favorite girl names, and I think they match your style pretty well, with the "vintage" feel! I also really like Adelaide I saw on a pp!

Since my DD is Evelyn I throw out a few on our list for LO2...

Cora

Scarlett

Cecilia

Lucille

Sylvia

Vivian

I love older vintagey names too hence Scarlet and Tess    Marion and Florence were my grandmothers and I would def. use them as MN's if I had another.  (used our Moms for DD's)   Not a fan of Annelise or Annabel or Hannah but do love just Anna..

suggestions- Matilda, Helena, Maeve, Mabel, Grace (I know its uber pop MN these days but I don't know one little girl with it!) Louisa, Caroline
