Girls Names

edited April 2016 in Baby Names
This is our first baby, due in early July! We've been debating names for a while and are open to other suggestions for first names. The middle name is not super open to discussion as it's a family name. We are mostly traditional in name choices and spelling and aren't really interested in overly unique names.  Our last name rhymes with "game." Thanks for your help everyone! :smile:

    My favorite name is Audrey but I think Lillian goes best with the MN so that's what I voted for. I would toss Addison.

    Voted Audrey. Also like Lillian. Not a fan of the others, esp with mn.

    @hollieileen What middle names might you like better with some of them?

    I voted Lillian.  I probably would not use an A name with the middle name Ann Marie.

    I think Addie is an adorable nickname but I don't like Addison. Lillian/Lily is okay but I'm pretty bored with it. Sophie just doesn't feel like "enough" to me, its cute but it has a nickname feeling to it.

    Audrey gets my vote, its a good name that I think will age well too. I don't like Ann-Marie though. Would prefer just Marie.

    ETA: I do think Sophie Ann-Marie has the best flow. As someone else mentioned, I don't like Ann with the A names, also Ava is so boring that I just realized that I completely forgot to even comment on it in first post! LilliAN Ann is too repetitive with the two Ann sounds running together. Audrey Ann-Marie sounds okay though.

    Love Lillian! I would use it if I had a girl, but she would have a cousin Jillian so we had to toss it from our list.

    I don't like the -an in Lillian with Ann in the MN spot. I also think think you're going to get people thinking her first name is Whatever Ann and MN is Marie. Ann is such an easy flowing name I think people just naturally do it  

    Why the hyphenated mn? That seems problematic when it comes to legal forms and things of that nature. 

    I prefer Sophia and I think it's your best choice. Sophie seems more like a nn.

    @CaboBride2015 The hyphen is because it's a French first name "Ann-Marie"

    I don't understand how the hyphen makes it French? All the Annemarie's I know spell it as one word. I agree that a hyphen is a little unnecessary and makes the name seem bulkier.

    I think the A names and Lillian make for too much alliteration. I really love Sophie Ann-Marie. Personal preference :)
