Help/input needed for a name for DD!

futuremrssmith7 · June 2013

The baby names board hasn't been very helpful so I would like to turn to you ladies to give me some input into our possible middle names for DD. We do not really have any family names we would like to use and did not use any with DS. We are still open to suggestions too!

FYI - last name is Smith and big brother is Adrian Cooper

Annika Bryn/Brynn (we like the name Bryn but don't LOVE it)

Annika Claire (we love the MN Claire but it is a bit harsh sounding with the hard K/C)

Annika Jane (like but the both have pretty similar meanings)

Annika June (ok, month of birth and suggestion from DH)

Annika Leigh (my MN as well as my mom's is Lee)

Annika Mae (middle initial shared with great-grandmas on DH's side)

Annika Paige (ok for us, more of a compromise as DH likes Piper and I don't)

Annika Reese (We like the name and meaning but the double S-sound with Reese and Smith may be a bit much)

TIA! We are hoping to really narrow it down to 1 or 2 middle names as our take to the hospital list has 4 first names on it: Adalyn Claire, Adeline Claire / Reese, Annika_____, and Ava Caroline.

I like Annika Mae it has a sweet sound to it.

Claire or Jane!

Claire or Mae! I don't think Annika Claire is harsh sounding at all!

I like Leigh because it has the greatest connection to your family. I'm not a fan of the middle name we picked for our baby (Donald), but it will mean more that he is named after my FIL, my BIL, and my grandpa. I would much prefer that over any random middle name.
