Ok friends, it just got real. Give me some girl names!

Irishcurls · October 2014

Had our a/s yesterday and saw a perfectly perfect baby girl in there! DH has refused to have a serious talk about names until we knew the sex, so I armed him with some lists yesterday and we agreed to come to the table this weekend with our tops and go from there. I honest-to-God thought this was a boy and have a whole gorgeous list that I now don't need.....

Below are names I like (some more in concept that IRL but to get you in the right direction). Middle name also up for grabs, don't have a family name that jumps out at us other than Jean, which I'm VERY meh on. Last name is one syllable, mispronounced eleventy% of the time, sounds like Lean.

Fiona

Estelle (not great with LN)

Arwen

Hazel (hard pass by DH but I love it)

Olive (maybe only MN)

I love you but would side eye the use of Arwen. What about Elowen?

I don't love Estelle, but do love Estella. That small change could help with the last name issue.

EDIT: Where is my head?

CONGRATS on your baby girl!!!!!

Thanks!! I agree though, it'll stay GP for me. Elowen I like a lot, but is it too "el" heavy with an L LN? Though I agree Estella fixes that...

Irishcurls · October 2014

@bromios and @helenahhandbasket Beatrice/Beatrix are SO high on my list of things that make me question why I married my DH. He HATES them. I love them so much. And Thea has major MN potential...

Love Margot, Maura, Cecelia! Thanks ladies!

I heart Fiona and Clara...name son my list currently! I think both work with the mn option you have so far. Any other family names you maybe haven't thought of for a mn?

And as pp said, Elowen Lean doesn't sound bad to me either!
