Since the naming post was such a hit. . .

Here's some new ones I have come up with the past few weeks. Feel free to honestly comment~~as if you wouldn't! These are names I like and kind of have been kicking around. They have either been suggested by someone or I have found them in books.

Mercy
Scarlett
Bronwyn
Eliza
Ella Grace (as in one name, not first and middle)
Piper
Margaret (this is one I would break my no nickname rule on) Probably Meg or Maggie
Penelope
Hilary
Mary Kate~~I really like this but is it too Olson twins?
Georgia
Tessa
Kathleen
Meredith
Eleanor
Charity

So whaddya think?!

You do realize we all risk our lives by commenting on this, right? I shouldn't give a hormonal pregnant woman my thoughts on names she's chosen, only offer my own ideas. :) Well, since you asked...
I love these ones:
Bronwyn
Eliza
Ella Grace (as in one name, not first and middle)
Georgia (our choice for Sam if he was a girl)
Tessa (our other choice for Sam if he was a girl...did you know it means '4th born'???)
Meredith

Now for these:
Hilary (reminds me of Hilary Clinton)
Mary Kate~~I really like this but is it too Olson twins? YES

I so agree on Hilary! :-) I sat on an airplane next to a little girl named Hilary once. WAY before the Clinton era. Always loved it since then and now she has ruined it for me! :-)

My favorites:
Mercy
Margaret (love Meg!)
Tessa
Kathleen (but not Kathy)
Charity

My great aunt's name is Mercy, but that is short for Mercedes. But obviously you mean just Mercy. Anyway, I have a preference because of her...

I agree with Amanda on Hilary and Mary Kate. What about just Kate? Too plain?

I will never quite understand the idea of naming a child something with the intentions of calling them something else - as in Margaret and calling her meg or maggie. Why not just name her Maggie or Meg?

Yes, Mary Kate is too olson twinnish - although I like the name, i'm not sure it would be associated with anything else.

Ella is very popular, isn't it? Does the Grace after it negate the popularity rule?

Don't like Penelope Cruz - I just think of black eyebrows with that name.

Of course, I love Georgia:)

Do you think Meredith might become popular because of Grey's?

I have a neice named Tessa - very cute, but I'm not sure it goes with the rest of your girls' names. Neither do Bronwyn, Piper, Tessa, Scarlett, Mercy or Charity.

Eliza is too close to Elise, I thought???

What do you call pacifiers? If you call them pipes, then Piper is definitely out.

And I agree with the Hilary comment.

Normally, I am not a nickname fan. I like the idea of them having a more "formal" name to use in the event they wish to become an astrophysist or something. Maggie just doesn't sound super professional to me.

Jen said...

And the Grace after Ella makes Tim like it more b/c it adds an syllable. :-)

I like Eleanor out of all of them. Please no Hilary!! Tessa is cute, but I have a Tressa so it just doesn't sound right to me.
I recently rented one of my favorite movies from when I was a kid called Savannah Smiles. What about Savannah?

I can't believe you are having this conversation on the web...I thought we had agreed that conversations about names leads to heart break...because if you love one name and someone else hates it...then you go ahead and name your child that...you KNOW they hate the name??? Dangerous...but daring!

I really don't like Eleanor...I think of Stoub...sorry.

Love Tessa! Love Tessa! Love Tessa!

What about Izzie? It's so Greys!

Oh. My. Y'all have some time on your hands. There is one name at that list that has been considered. And I do love you staying in the pole name catagory!

i am not said...

On that note, can I add a suggestion? How about Effen? So you can go around yelling "Hey you Effen Lampen!" or "You're an Effen Lampen" or "You're an Effen girl" or "Look at my Effen baby."

Its a thought:)

Was the name you considered Vickoden? I like Oleander. You have good friends.

Mercy? Charity? Are you serious? How about Georgia or Charlotte? Those are very nice. Eleanor is also acceptable. No to all others. Now go pair your socks or something else a bit more useful.

Okay so I really love Bronwyn and Georgia. I'm also partial to Eliza Jane (as in for a first name, not first and middle). My second daughter name (since I have only one and a son) is Naomi Joy. You can borrow it if you'd like, but I expect it back when we adopt a baby girl (which probably won't happen since my husband says he's too old).
