Girl name opinions/ clicky poll

SpruceGrouse

I know there is a name board, I post there sometimes but I wanted August 2012 opinions this time.

We are team green, our boy name will be Richard Scott.  Richard after DH's dad who died when DH was little and Scott is my dad's mn (also this baby will be born in Scotland). You can give an opinion on this if you want but it won't be changing.

The girl name is not decided yet.  I have 2 that I keep coming back to, so I think I will take both to the hospital to see what fits, but even these 2 are not set in stone.

Elisabeth Katherine is one (Betty Kate).  Elisabeth is in honour of DH's grandmother and Katherine is my great grandma's name and my mom's mn.

Anna Charlotte is the other one.  I just like the name Anna, I keep coming back to it, our last name is 3 syllables and 9 letters long so I like the simplicity of Anna.  Charlotte was my grandma's mn and it was because she was born in Charlottetown PEI so I like the Canadian connection there. 

I realise that both these names are very common and may be considered boring but I still like them.  I don't believe it is a name that makes someone unique.  Even if there are so many others out there with these names she would be my Elisabeth or my Anna.

I know you didn't ask for suggestions but I love the way Kate Elisabeth sounds! If your last name is long and you like Anna, I just thought I'd throw it out there. Kate is one of my favorite first names.

That is tough.  I like Anna Charlotte (we were going to name this one Charlotte - Lottie for short if he was a girl), but I really like Betty Kate.  That is super cute.

I bet if you have a girl, one will seem more right once you see her.  Hopefully though you and DH agree on which one seems right!

Thanks for votes and comments and suggestions are ok with me too.

Personally, I love the sound of Betty Kate.  Vintage yet new again.

I voted for Anna but I think would like Elisabeth Katherine better if the nn wasn't Betty - not a fan of Betty. Maybe Libby?

I also like the flow of Charlotte Elisabeth if you were interesting in switching them up.

I love, love, love, love Betty Kate!! Underused, classic, just adorable.

They're both great names, you can't go wrong!  I voted for Anna just because you said your last name is fairly long and Elisabeth Katherine is pretty lengthy on its own!  Good luck!

I love Richard Scott, and the meaning behind it.

I love both Anna and Elizabeth...so this was a hard choice but voted for Elizabeth Katherine. Betty is an adorable nickname (I also like Betsy as a nn for Elizabeth).  You really can't go wrong with either.  If you are really torn, you could always make your final decision when she is born and see what suits her better.  Great choices, though.

I wanted to name our daughter Betty, but SO vetoed! I love that name!

I voted Betty Kate but it only won by a hair. You can't go wrong with either choice. I like pp suggestion that you have a look and make a game time decision when you meet your daughter (if she is, indeed a girl! Team green is so fun!).

I honestly LOVE both, but I chose Anna Charlotte because you said you had a long last name.

I adore the name Anna. So simple, feminine, and classic.

I voted for Anna Charlotte..I actually like Elisabeth Kate a lot, but the nn Betty Kate is NMS.

I really dislike the name Betty so I didn't vote for it.  I love the meaning behind your names.

Betty is a nickname that reminds me of the Flintstones. How about Annabelle Charlotte and call her Anna?

I love family names, names that have meaning, not just a name. My son's middle name is after his grandpa and great grandpa. This LO's middle name is after her grandma. We didn't have any other names we liked for first names to pass on from family, but since you do, I like that! And Betty isn't popular, I don't think. Anna is, I think.
