lots of girls names I love but pairing them up is a problem!

dukegirlsc · January 2015

Below is my list for girls names, my DH and I cannot agree at all! He likes 70's style very plain names and I prefer something southern, classic and elegant. I also want to try not to choose a popular name...I have a name like that and it's tough being 1 of 4 in the classroom! Can you ladies help me put together some lovely names out of this list? Many thanks!

Ella
Kate
Cora
Brynn
Elise
Olivia
Ashby
Grace
Avery
Finley
Emery
Emerson
Emory
Vivianne
Alexandra
Annabeth
Emmeline
Annabelle
Isabelle
Audrey
Annalise
Isla

Well Ella Olivia Audrey and Isabelle are all very popular

Emory Emerson emery Finley Brynn and Avery are male names so cross them off

Ashby is just ridiculous

Isla is becoming more popular for sure

Annalise many people say sounds and looks like anal ease

I would say Alexandra Beth
Grace Catherine
Vivian Kate are best

If you're having trouble pairing names, and you personally like southern, one syllable middle names tend to flow best with longer first names, in my opinion.

Finley Kate
Isla Grace
Emerson Grace
Vivianne Kate
Cora Grace
Emmeline Kate
Avery Grace
Etc...

Just flow wise without the southern charm, I like short first names with long middles.

Brynn Alexandra

All "Elle/Ella" names are getting crazy popular, so if that's a concern for you, I'd stay away from Ella, Isabelle, Annabelle, etc. So is Olivia.

I like your names :-)

I like Alexandra Kate, Vivienne Grace, or Brynn Annabelle

Hey there friend!

I like several names off your list. If I put the ones I like together, I would suggest:

Ella grace
Audrey Kate
Cora Emmeline
Vivianne Elise
Alexandra Kate
Isabelle Grace

Other suggestions:
Katherine Olivia
Gabriella (nn Ella)
Charlotte Ava
Amelia Brynn

@CML11 thanks! DH and I are polar opposites on this subject, I think he is on board for Ella Grace but is shooting down the rest of my choices! I really wanted a daughter named Vivienne, so we could call her Vivi!

CML11 · February 2015

@dukegirlsc‌ MH is just meh on every name. Won't do a family name and doesn't like anything too unusual. So far I have 3 that he hasn't shot down for girls and I don't know how I feel about them (for boy's names, we have too many choices!). The names he likes:
Nora/Norah
Mariah
Meredith

He's shot down some really good ones. Here's some of my favs that I can think of off the top of my head.
Elianna
Rosalie
Evelyn
Amelia
Olivia
Plus a huge list of already taken names by cousins with the same LN. If we have twin girls I don't know what we are going to do!

Bhahahahaaaaaa just spat out my drink

dukegirlsc · February 2015

@CML11 I feel your pain with the shooting down of names, it gets to be exhausting trying to please them! I really like Nora and Elianna is just lovely! You could try the water drop technique I am employing, just keep dropping the name you like best into the conversation till it wears him down, ha! and of course if you start talking to the belly and calling the baby by name..he won't be able to imagine anything else. It's manipulative, I know, but I think our daughters will thank us!

mommabird77 · February 2015

I like:

Alexandra Grace

Alexandra Elise

Cora Grace

Annalise Grace

CML11 · February 2015

@dukegirlsc‌ maybe that's what MH is doing, he refers to the baby as Thor. It makes me giggle, but it's never going to be a name contender of course!

dukegirlsc · February 2015

@CML11 maybe he wants an Avengers son! :-O my DH doesn't even refer to the baby yet…I think that will change after the u/s next week, I am on pins and needles!

lots of girls names I love but pairing them up is a problem!
