Name Issue

mainesmichelle · February 2012

Hey Ladies,

I don't post much anymore due to my new job, but I am an avid lurker and do post when i feel I can help. Is anyone else having a hard time choosing a name. We know that we are having a girl, but we can't decide on a name- I think we are going to have to wait until after she is born. We have choosen the middle name "Elizabeth" after my twin sister, but this is as far as we get. Everyone keeps asking and its making me frustrated when I get a "what the hell is wrong with you look".

These are the names we are down too. Any thoughts?

Blythe Elizabeth

Evelyn Elizabeth (nickname Eves) (my husband mother's name)

Amelia Elizabeth

Arden Elizabeth

Ellie Elizabeth

Ellison Elizabeth

Ellery Elizabeth

Cordelia Elizabeth

Langley Elizabeth

TIA,

Michelle

I like Amelia Elizabeth.

Evelyn is one of our two names we have picked out so I like that one, but Amelia is nice too.

Evelyn or Amelia are nice the rest are too weird!

I like the unique names. Ellie, Ellison and Langley are my favorites. I like Arden too but with Elizabeth it sounds like cosmetics

I like Evelyn and Ellie.

And yes, we are having a very difficult time agreeing on a boy name

I don't have a strong preference for any one over the others, but there are a few that I would, personally, rule out:

Ellie Elizabeth, Ellison Elizabeth, Ellery Elizabeth --- I don't care for these because the first name is so similar to the middle name.

Langley Elizabeth - I have trouble with this b/c the first name ends in an "e" sounds and the middle name starts with the same sound. It's hard to enunciate well enough to make them sound like two separate names instead of one really long run-on name.

This. And I am SO tired of all the Ellies!

I like Arden! OMG Cordelia! Did you used to watch Anne of Green Gables? I like that name too!

I like Cordelia

I like Amelia. I know someone who has a daughter named Amelia and they use the nickname Miels.

I love Evelyn and Amelia. The rest are not my style.

Evelyn would have been my top girl choice but it is too similar to my last name. And, we are having a boy so it didn't matter!! :-)
