Baby Names

Girl name for third baby

We need a name for a girl.  The middle name will be Jeanette, which is my mother's name, who is passed.  We are pretty set on it.  Siblings are Liam and Annabel.  Would prefer something Irish or Scottish, but it doesn't have to be.  Here is a list of names we've been talking about, but can't agree it.  They are all over the place in terms of time and style, but we just can't settle on something we can agree on.

Ryan (I don't think I love it for a girl, but will probably use if baby is a boy)
Sophie (I love, husband isn't crazy about it)
Clara
Claire 
Kate (Katherine or Katelyn)
Isla
Naomi 
Cora
Brenna (I love, husband dislikes)
Evelyn
Haley (I'm turned off by all of the Haylee/Hayleighs, etc. but love the connection to the Irish surname.)
Laurel
Natalie


I would love to hear some opinions or other suggestions.  I'm kind of stuck on Haley.  This is what my mom wanted to name me, but couldn't because it rhymed with my maiden name.  She always said if I had a little girl someday I could name her Haley... and I may, just stuck on the popular/trendy -ley names.

Re: Girl name for third baby

  • Ryan Do not use this for a girl. Just...no
    Sophie I don't think this sounds good with Jeanette
    Clara I am meh on this one
    Claire I am also meh on this one
    Kate (Katherine or Katelyn) I like Katherine out of the three choices the best
    Isla I like it, a lot! However with your sib-set it kind of sticks out.
    Naomi Not a fan
    Cora Also not a fan, it isn't a bad name but I don't think it goes well with Jeanette
    Brenna Pronounced like Bren-nuh? If so I do not like it paired with Jeanette
    Evelyn on the fence about this one
    Haley I love this! I think it sounds great paired with Jeanette. Also sounds nice with sibslings.
    Laurel I am meh on this
    Natalie I am meh on this

  • I like Naomi and Evelyn with your other two. 

    I do know a girl named Ryan, and I've never thought it was 'weird.' Riley may be a more accepted unisex name. 
  • With your sib set, I think Evelyn or Haley. Haley is on our short list!

  • Haley is not one of my favorites but I do like it with your backstory. If you like it I say go for it. It's relatively uncommon these days.

    This! My first daughter is Natalie. My 2nd is Ryan. I love it for her (it was also my maiden name so it meant a lot to me to keep it). I've received a lot of positive comments around it, and really nothing negative. I agree with @emilyalso though that Riley is maybe a more accepted unisex name.
  • Ryan - not for a girl, 
    Sophie - Good name, but if Dh doesn't life it, maybe a MN?
    Clara - I'm not usually a big fan of old name,s but I like this one!
    Claire - meh. Nothing wrong with it at all, just never one of my faves. 
    Kate - would be a great MN. Haley Kate?
    Isla - Love this name. My fave of your list, but can't work Haley into it anywhere. Sorry! (Isla Kate is pretty though!)
    Naomi - perfectly fine name. 
    Cora - Another good one
    Brenna - I like this, but if DH doesn't, that's a moot point. 
    Evelyn - I like this one, and it;s great for NN's. (Eve, Eva, Evie, Lyn)
    Haley - 
    Laurel - Love this name too. Haley Laurel has a a decent flow. 
    Natalie - another perfectly fine name. 

    Good luck!
    The McC 3 - DH, (38) Me, (34) and DS (3)
    A.J.M. - Born 6/11/13 after 17 BFNs including 1 failed IUI.
    Maybe Baby #2 - Started TTC Feb 2015. Called it quits after 29 cycles.
