Narrowing down baby girl list!

zanephoebe · July 2013

Baby girl is due in 9 weeks and we can't narrow it down to one name. Just for fun- let me know your opinions Middle name will be Katherine.

Names we agree on:

Mabel

Veda or Vada (VAY dah)-- This one is throwing me off because I can't decide which spelling is best. I don't want it to be mispronounced all the time.

Names I wish I could get DH to agree on:

Louise

Beatrice

Name my husband wishes I would agree on:

Tessa

No real point in this post, other than to get outsider opinions We aren't sharing names with anyone, so interested to hear feedback from others.

I love Tessa Katherine. :-)

I would spell it like Veda.

Could you bring the list of 5 names with you and name her when she is born?

StickyBaby · July 2013

Have you considered Beatrix, nn Trixie?
To me that name combines your style with your dh's style.

I love Veda! I had forgotten about that name.
Why not just go in with a list of names and see what she looks like?

Love Mabel and Veda!

I think Veda Louise would be awesome.

I think in the movie My Girl, it was spelled Veda. But I could be wrong.

I'm a huge fan of Tessa. I think it's cute.

I work in a nursing home so some of the older names I have a hard time with. I've met an abundance of crazy old ladies named Mabel. As much as I want to like it, I just can't. Have you considered Maybelline? I think it's super cute.

I can't get on board with Louise. But Beatrice is cute.

I think that is what we will end up doing- going in with a list and deciding. I worry that we won't be able to decide then either. People always say the baby "looks" like a certain name, which I have trouble believing, but I guess we will see! Mabel has been our top for months now. It is good to have other choices if she really doesn't look like a Mabel.

I think Beatrix out there too- DH turned it down.

I love Tessa but I also love Vada wasn't that her name in my girl?

My favorite is Mabel. Tessa is on our list, too. I'm not sure about Veda, I think your DD will constantly be spelling/pronouncing it.

kaylynne · July 2013

I like Veda spelled that way.

I don't like Louise with Katherine (but I like Veda Louise)

I like Mabel, but don't love it with Katherine (ditto Beatrice)

I think Veda or Tessa flow best with that mn.

I like Beatrice and Tessa. Not a fan of Mabel even a little... I usually like the old lady names but that is just way to old lady for me. I don't care for Louise either.
