Baby names

sokr09 · May 2011

Who knew It would be so hard to pick out your child's name. I'm hoping once I see her she will just be the name of what we have picked out. Which name do you like better out of these two:

Paige Elizabeth

or

Elizabeth Paige-we would call her Lizzy or Liz

To me, Elizabeth Paige rolls off the tongue easier than Paige Elizabeth. But either order, both are beautiful!

I like the fluidity of Elizabeth Paige better, but I prefer Paige as a FN over Elizabeth. Sorry to be so confusing. But also Liz and Lizzy are NMS for nicknames which is why when my DH put Elizabeth on the list I sent it to the MN only list.

But also ... flow wise ... how often will you say her full name?? If I saw it on a business card or something I'd think what a beautiful name Paige Elizabeth ____ and if I heard it at a graduation I certainly wouldn't think "clunky!" lol

I think Elizabeth Paige flows better.

Being an Elizabeth I loved being able to 'change' my name with where I was in life. I have mostly gone by Beth and Elizabeth but was also called Liz for a short time.
