Speaking of Names...

Megs&Nick · May 2011

We still can't seem to commit to a name for this baby. Current contenders in my mind are:

Paige Katherine (middle name is after DH's Mom/Grandma)

Katherine (nn Kate) Elizabeth

Corinne ___________

Jocelyn (nn Joss or Josie) ___________

DD #1 is Allison (Allie) Jayne, after my Mom. We have a simple last name.

Thoughts?

I love Jocelyn/Joss! Not a fan of Josie, though. It makes me think of Josie Grosie and Never Been Kissed.

I love the name Corinne. But using MIL name would be nice too.

I love Kate, but are you sure you want Kate & Allie?

Megs&Nick · May 2011

A few people have brought up the Kate & Allie thing. My DH said it was a TV show, but I have honestly never heard of it. Perhaps I grew up under a rock?

I think it bothers him a little bit but doesn't bother me at all simply because I don't have that association having never seen or heard of the show.

Jocelyn Marie was our decided girl name had Nolan obviously been a girl so of course I love this name!

Ttimes3 · May 2011

Paige and Kate go best with my last name, so I vote for those. Wink

cops_wife · May 2011

I like Paige and I actually like Josie too. I like Kate too but I feel like it's just a lot more common.

Moesten · May 2011

I like them all, Meg! Nice choices. I can see why you're having trouble deciding. I think my vote is still with Paige though.

sistrkate · May 2011

I like all of them except Corinne, and I think they all go beautifully with Allie except Corinne. What's nice about Katherine and Jocelyn is that they both can be elegant, grown-up names with cute nicknames for a little girl. Paige is a great classic name without the cutesy factor.

my personal favorite is Josie. I can hear you now: "Allie! Josie! Stop fighting and get in here to the dinner table!"

"Allie! Josie! Clean your rooms NOW or I am taking your phones. No arguments!"

LOL.

Katherine (Kate) Elizabeth was our #2 choice for Nora, so I'm a huge fan of that.

However, Corinne and Jocelyn are also really nice. I love that they are both classic without being boring or too common. What about Corinne Paige or Jocelyn Paige? I'm not too keen on Corinne Katherine or Jocelyn Katherine.

I think Jocelyn is my favorite.

Based on your choices I really don't think you can go wrong!

katpres06 · May 2011

I'm a fan of Josie, but not Jocelyn.

I kind of really like Allison Jayne. My newest niece's name is Allison (nn Allie).

Miller238 · May 2011

I think Katherine Paige sounds better than Paige Katherine. But I do like the name Paige.

I like Katherine Elizabeth. Completely timeless. Katelyn's middle name is Elizabeth, so maybe I am biased.

Corinne is nice. I had a neighbor growing up that was named this and her nickname was Corky. I didn't like that, but I think the full name Corinne is beautiful.

I like Josie, but not Jocelyn.

kristinleigh · May 2011

I love the name Paige - my BFF's daughter is named that.

My good friend who just had a baby last week named her daughter Corinne Nicole and I like that too.

MandiNewMommy · May 2011

I like Paige and Josie

addslove · May 2011

Love the name Josie! I also like Paige Katherine.

I'm 100% biased as Katherine Elizabeth is Katie's name, so of course I love it.

You have some pretty good choices there.

Megs&Nick · May 2011

Thanks for the feedback, ladies. We had talked about Jocelyn awhile back but decided we didn't love the nn Josie. DH said it made him think of the Duggars. I saw Joss the other day and liked that so I put it back on the list.

I think Corinne is a beautiful name, I'm just not sure it fits in our family. It seems so formal and put together and we are quirky, unorganized and crazy. I love the name but think I would feel weird calling my child that for some reason.

I really like Kate but somewhat fear the popularity with so many derivatives. It seems like the Kate & Allie thing is a negative as well.

I like Paige and we've been calling her that for awhile. I just don't know why I can't commit to it. Something is holding me back.

I'm terrible at making decisions.

kristinleigh · May 2011

What about Cori or Corrie as a nn for Corinne? That way you can use the name since you like it but use a nn that would better fit with your family. It would sound good with Allie since it's similar.

I agree with PP, Cori/Corie/Corey would be a good NN for Corinne.

I feel weird calling K "Katherine." She's Katie to me, only Katherine on paper & at the doctor's office. We've called her Katie since she a few hours after she was born when we finally settled on her name.

Megs&Nick · May 2011

Unfortunately, Corey doesn't have a great association for our family. It would have to be Corinne or nothing.

l.m.k. · May 2011

A friend of mine from high school has a daughter named Corinne and they call her Rinne.

buckeyethor · May 2011

I like Kate or Paige best with your family. I think Jocelyn and Corinne are beautiful names but don't fit as well with the rest of your names.

You have some good name picks. I say hold off making the final decision until you meet your baby girl. You will know the minute you see her what her name should be.

Kle2922 · May 2011

Katherine Elizabeth was my mother's name, so that's my vote:)

curlypie1 · May 2011

You know how I feel about Corinne. You are totally a Corinne family. Waving pinky finger in the air.

I truly like all your picks. How do you feel about waiting until she's born to decide? I know, I know...the wooden letters.

MrsMoher · May 2011

Just keep in mind with the royal wedding there will be a blue million Katherines. It was actually on our list for Addy, so I love the name. All the names are cute but I like Paige best. Like Katie said, Allie and Paige are very cute together.
