South Florida Babies

And the name is...

definitely Elise Sophia. 

JIC you missed the comments in my previous post - it is a girl!  I tried editing the post to include the sex, but I'm not sure that it worked.

Anywho, we're definitely set on the first name.  However, I'm open to suggestions for another middle name.  Of course, we couldn't keep the name to ourselves and have already received comments stating that the middle name and the last name rhyme.  It only rhymes on the last syllable which isn't a perfect rhyme anyway.  I think it gives the full name a melodic quality, but... UGH! People and their opinions!

Just for some options, what would you suggest as a middle name for Elise?

 

Re: And the name is...

  • I love the name. Elise has always been one of our favs also. Actually we have a beautiful, sweet and wonderful niece named Elise and we always wanted to name our daughter after her. Well not 1st name but I think your choice is perfect. Ignore the stupid comments people make. In the end it is going to be your and DH's baby girl. :)

  • I just wanted to say congrats on your baby girl!

    I wish I had suggestion for your middle name but I don't know what the "rules" are since we don't do middle names (DH and I don't have middle names and neither do our siblings or kid). One suggestion I do have is to forget about what everybody else says. If you like Elise Sophie leave it like that. Who cares if it rhymes or it doesn't rhyme! As long as your DH and you like it, that is all that matters!

  • i think its perfect the way it is!!!

  • Thanks, ladies!  You're right!  I'm going to keep it the way it is.  We both love it and it's a name that we've had picked out since before we were even TTC.  It was totally meant to be!

    Both names have a lot of meaning to us. The origin and meaning of both names are also very special to us.   I even remember having a music box when I was a little girl that played, "Fur Elise," and I've loved the name since then.  Wouldn't it be amazing if I could find that little music box again?!

  • I love the name! I don't get why people don't like names to rhyme. Like you, I think a full name has such a melodic quality to it if it flows well. The girl name we have picked out rhymes, and that's actually one of the reasons we like it. As long as you and your DH are happy, go with it!
  • I really don't know!  Some people think that she will be made fun of, but we don't really use middle names in this country anyway.  I don't have a middle name, but it's been an issue when there's someone else with the same name.  So, I just wanted to make sure that she has a middle name in case she ever bumps into a classmate with the same name.  We'll mostly call her by her first name anyway and kids will make fun of ANYTHING!  It doesn't matter what the name is, they can get pretty creative, lol. 

  • Ignore people! Go with the name you love.
  • It is a beautiful name! Who cares what anyone else thinks. It is you and your husbands baby! People will always have opinions.
  • I loooove the name!  Very romantic and classy!
  • I love the name you chose. I would not change it.

  • Congrats Adri! :) Little girls are so fun. I think the name is great and I think it sounds fine with your last name. Very few people are ever going to say her entire name together out loud, so I really don't think it matters.

    On another note, on my birthday about a month before Emma was due, my dad really wanted to get me a music box that played "Thank Heaven For Little Girls." My mom ended up finding a website that makes personalized music boxes where you can pick which box you want and what tune you want it to play and even personalize it with a little plaque. Anyway, I can get the info for you if you're interested and want to order one for Elise :)

  • Thanks, Jen!  Send me the info and I'll check it out.

    I just found this one online, but I haven't purchased it yet:  https://www.lenox.com/cat/index.cfm?fuseaction=prod&pid=8602&kf=&pagenum=1

    I was looking for the one I had when I was little, but it was from Precious Moments so I'm sure it's not manufactured anymore. 
  • I absolutely love the name Elise.. LOVE it.. Congrats again..
  • Beautiful! and congrats :)
  • LOVE the name!  : )

  • I love the name as well!!  Who cares what others think -- my mom hated the name Benjamin - I told her to deal with it :0) and wasn't crazy about "Chelsea" either - she tried to push Mariah Nicole on us...she is your child therefore, you get to name her.
