Torn between 2 names?!

Kery1499 · February 2009

I love Madeline and Julianna.. Dh is leaning more towards Julianna and I think I might be leaning more towards Madeline (which was my Grandmas name) but idk.. Any advice on how to make it easier to decide? Im the absolute worst with making decisions. even the smallest ones. I have no idea how im gonna do this???!!!

You probably shouldn't take advice from me (we're MILES from picking a name) but since you have 2 you like and you're still relatively early in your pregnancy, I would say to live with the 2 of them for awhile and see if 1 starts taking the lead with you and your DH. No reason you need to pick now.

Or you could go with Julianna Madeline and be done with it!

If it is important to you to name your little one with a family name go with Madeline (i love that name). And hey its a good excuse to sway DH toward Madeline if thats the one you want.

Can you decide at the hospital? DH and I have a few girls names and a few boys names and will decide when we see the baby. That may help you finalize it.

Yea i def couldnt pick until we have her. But im also afraid i will regret it after. Im like that.. Crazy Neurotic.. Ha

We're bouncing between two names, too. We've just been trying them out (alone - we're not using them in front of others) to see if we gravitate towards one. If we're still debating in three months when the baby is born, we'll decide when we see her.

...although sometimes DH gets stressed about it and starts pleeding to my belly "WHAT do you wan to be NAMED!?!" which is totally hillarious.

I like this idea - she may totally look like one or the other. FWIW, I like both names.

I agonized over names for months, and my daughters had set-in-stone designated names.........UNTIL THEY WERE BORN! We ended up naming them something completely different after we'd decided, each time, that they didn't "look" like the name we'd chosen. So all the stress was for nothing!

You'll JUST KNOW what the best name is when you look at her precious lil face.

I have no idea how to make it easier for you to decide but for what it's worth, I like Julianna better, lol. Sorry... I'm no help!

Those are two of my FAVORITE girl names. I would go with Madeline because it is a family name.

I would wait until she is born and see which one of those fits her the best!

Which nicknames do you like better? They are both longish names so I'm guessing she'd end up being called a shorter version at least some of the time. That might help you decide.

You know my choice....I love Julianna - it goes better with the last name I think...You could always do Julianna Madeline (to represent your grandmother) - I feel like there are soo many Madelines (Maddy's) out in the world today...and with Julianna you can call her Jewel - LOVE IT!!

I love the name Julianna!!! That's what I wanted to name our baby if it was going to be a girl but it's a boy........and his name will be Jackson Robert.
