in Baby Names
We’re having our 4th baby in November and she is our first girl. I always thought naming a girl would be so much easier but I’m having problems.
My style: older names (think “old lady” names), must have a good nickname as all my other kids go by nn/shortforms.
Her brothers:
James Charles Robert (goes by Charlie, James is my husband’s family name)
Henry Alexander (nn Huck)
Edward Christopher (nn Teddy)
open to all suggestions!

i LOVE Beatrice but I have a cat named Bellatrix so would feel weird.
I also love Penelope but have a family member who just named her baby that.
Do you think it would be odd to use Louise if it’s my middle name?
