Naming #3...

CKleinfieldt · May 2016

So, for a long while I was sure, if this baby was a girl, her name would be Darcy.

But I started second guessing it alot because I fear I doesn't fit well with my sib set and it lacks a NN, other than Darc...

So I think I've decided on Eleanor, NN Ellie, JoAnn

Open to other names with the NN Ellie.

Also, for a boy name I'm having a hard time choosing a middle name.
Forest Wayne or Forest Henry...

My children are Cecelia Michelle and Emerson Ryan.

I am adamant that this baby needs to have a name before next Wednesday for the gender reveal as our previous 2 had. But it's proving to harder than I thought.

I like Darcy much more than Ellie. Ellie has become overdone. I would choose Henry.

i also prefer darcy

Darcy is way better than anything Ellie. Nameberry has an entire list dedicated go getting Ellie it's just so overdone. Plus I would personally not do an E name with already having one.

I like Forest, I find it a bit different than your current Childrens names and think Henry Forest fits better but of the combos Forest Henry

Well I should add.
I also like Eleanor because she could go by Lenny, or Nora, or Leanora as well.

I've never met a child or infant Ellie, I'm surprised to hear it's so popular.

But I heard Emerson was trendy too, but I've yet to meet another Emerson at all.

The theme is old... or timeless.

I am naf of Henry as a first name.

It's my FIL's middle name, which is why we it's an option.

You might want to check the SS website for stats on your state, but nationally Ellie was 47 last year, Ella was 18 (and has been top 20 since 2008), Eleanor was 60 - that's only 3 Ellie names and that's a lot of Ellie's/Ella's if you combine them all. The Ellie question comes up on here all the time so if you do a search you will find lists of names people have proposed to get NN Ellie in the past.

The nn Ellie can be for about 20+ different names! It's all over here in the Midwest. Literally every other little girl nn is El, Elle, Ellie, Elly..

I'm also not a fan of all the Ellie names lately.

I notice you have Joann in the original post. Is that the middle name or a first name option? I'm so in love with Joanna- nicknames JoJo, Joey. You don't need a nickname but you could call Darcy D or DeeDee. Or what about something like Marla- I feel like that's similar to Darcy.

I am tired of the Ellie trend but Darcy is just NMS at all. Too surnamey and cutesie to me. I'd go with Eleanor and do a dif NN than Ellie.

CKleinfieldt · May 2016

JoAnn is the middle name.

I think I'm leaning towards the name Lenora JoAnn. And NN Lennie.

My husband seems to prefer Lenora over Eleanor.

I was coming back to suggest Lenore or Lenora. It stands out much more then Eleanor and avoids repeating initials.

jenna8984 · May 2016

I think that's much cuter!

queenbone · May 2016

I like Forest Henry over Forest Wayne, which sounds similar to the town of Fort Wayne.

saham07 · May 2016

Eleanor is MUCH better then Darcy. I would use the nn Nori instead of Ellie. Ellie is very over done.

jenEP · May 2016

Lenora nn lennie is adorable! Much better than Darcy or Ellie.
