Cannot decide on a girl name

madamsmurfette · February 2011

We're team green and have had our boy name selected for months, but still cannot settle on a girl's name. We have it narrowed down to four names we both like. DH has his favorite, but I don't. Not only have I been unable to select a favorite, but I've also been unable to narrow it down further. I guess I'm looking for some opinions. Maybe someone will say something we haven't thought so and it will help us narrow it down, at least. The middle name is set in stone and honors two of our grandmothers. Lila Agnes Elizabeth Agnes (nn would be Libby) Winifred Agnes (DH's favorite, nn would be Winnie) Audrey Agnes DH loves that Winifred isn't in the top 1000 names and it's similar to my father's given name. I like both of those facts, but still am not sold on it.

1. Elizabeth Agnes

2. Winifred Agnes

3. Audrey Agnes

4. Lila Agnes

I would just take all four with the hospital with you and see what she looks like!

I almost agree here I like:

Winifred Agnes

Elizabeth Agnes

Audrey Agnes

Lila Agnes

I also agree that if you cant choose pick at the hospital.

I love Agnes!

I think Elizabeth and Winifred pair best with Agnes. Agnes is hard since it begins with A, I'd avoid names ending in -a.

I'm with YH---Winifred is my favorite of your options, too, and Winnie is a great NN.

My runner up would be Elizabeth. It's a classic, and Libby is darling.

I like Audrey and Lila, but both are getting so popular.

I like Elizabeth the best- good, solid name.

I really don't like Winifred.

I agree with waiting until she is born and then picking a name. Or narrowing it down to two and then bringing those two to the hospital with you. You may stress over it and then end up having a boy anyway.....so I say don't stress and just decide after you hear "its a girl" and see what she looks like!

I like Elizabeth and Audrey the best. Both are classic, but both are very popular.

You're correct that Winifred isn't in the top 1000. I've never been a huge fan, but I think Winnie is a really cute nn. You could also name her Gwendolyn, nn Winnie.
