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!
Re: Girl name to go with her 3 brothers
Frances nn Frankie/Frannie/Fannie
Elizabeth nn Betsy/Bettie/Birdie
Winifred/Gwendolyn nn Winnie
Margaret nn Mamie/Margo/Margie/Millie
Other favorite vintage names without obvious nn's (but confident one would come to y'all!)
Gladys
Louise (Weezie?)
Ada
Lorna
Adding:
Charlotte nn Lottie
Vivian nn Vivi or Viv
Genevieve nn Genna, Vi
Amelia nn Mia, Lia
Violet nn Vi
Penelope nn Penny or Poppy
C/Katherine nn Kate, Kat, Katie
Baby #2 Due 3/7/20

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?
