Please help with girl name!

stewy-2 · February 2017

We were told at our 20 week ultrasound that we were having a boy, but now at 36 weeks we've been told the tech made a mistake and it is a girl! We have been thrown for a loop as we've had our boy name picked out for months! We really need some help...middle name will very likely be Catherine or Elisabeth (both family names) depending on which sounds better with the first name.

So far our favorites are:

Audrey
Helen
Amelia

Open to suggestions!

Love Audrey Catherine!

Love Audrey Catherine

KyleeWaller · February 2017

I like Helen the best out of your options! I think Helen Elizabeth has a better flow, but I like Catherine better as a name.

All solid choices! Audrey Is my favorite

100 percent vote for Helen. There are little Audrey's all over the place. Helen feels fresh. I do love Amelia but consider that they may end being Amy and decide if you like that or not.

Love Audrey and both middle names go well. Helen is my least favorite, maybe because the only ones I know are very, very old.

mercury94 · February 2017

I like Amelia, but I think it's getting really popular (I know at least 2 born in the last 6 months). I don't know if that bothers you.

MrsN092714 · February 2017

Audrey Elisabeth! It's beautiful

mrs_tacos · February 2017

I like Audrey Catherine the best. Helen is ok, but I prefer Helena, I think it has a more feminine edge.

I would suggest:
Winifred (Don't know if you like NNs, but I love the NN Winnie.)
Vivian
Phoebe
Matilda
Roslyn
Bridget

Mamabeagle · February 2017

Helen is the least common and a GP name to me.

FakeFinn · February 2017

You can't go wrong! I like all three

My favourite is Elisabeth. Would that be a first name option?

Other suggestions:
Marigold
Odilia
Beatrice
Margaret
Sybil
Agnes
Vivienne
Georgia

Helen Elizabeth

Thank you for all your responses!

Audrey is my favourite and Helen is my husband's...I like Helen but having trouble getting past it as an "old lady name". We both like Amelia, but I'm worried about it being too popular

SKZW · February 2017

I don't think Amelia is terribly popular. The SSA shows that in 2015, there were not quite 10k babies given that name, just one half of one percent of all the girl babies born. You might want to look it up by your state to be more certain!
I agree about Helen being an old lady name. Would you consider using a nickname? That way she has the option of using a more formal name later in life.
Lenny, Lonnie... Hellie, Nellie... Len, Nell... etc.

joforyoga · February 2017

I would go with your gut. I think Audrey is way more popular than amelia anyways and they are all old lady names. The ones that have become more popular in recent years we now associate with little girls that's all.
