Default I Need Some *Sweet* Help - NEW QUESTION P.5

from you SSD girls! K, we are now 3 weeks from this baby possibly making her appearance and we are still no closer to having a first name! I'm starting to worry. Her middle name is Francesca (after my great-grandmother), but we can't settle on a first name. My one true love name - Emma - that just clicked so well with Francesca was snatched by my brother and his wife back in February Since then, nothing has struck me as "that is it!"

FYI I've loved the name Emma Francesca for like 7 years, but only DH and and I discussed it, as we had a boy the first time, so it was really a non-issue. However, now I wished I would have said something so my brother wouldn't have used it!

So, give me your favorite girl names. I need some inspiration or this baby might just end up as "Baby" Francesca.

***NEW QUESTION ON PAGE 5 FOR YOU TO PONDER****

ie. Ella, Elle, Emmy

Ooooh! Girl names!! Since I only have boys, I have a whole bunch of girl names saved up! lol

Since Emma is a bit of an "old-fashioned" sounding name, here are a few others that I think sound good with Francesca...

Oliva Francesca
Amelia Francesca
Bella Francesca
Hannah Francesca
Sonia Francesca


Just a few suggestions... Good luck!

Aww, Emma was my grandma's name and was definitely my choice for a girl if we'd decided to have kids. If it's any consolation, though, Emma and Emily have topped the most common name lists in recent years, so she might have had a lot of other Emmas in her age range.

I like Ella!

Also...

Olivia
Sophia
Isobel

Have you thought of Isla? It's becoming quite popular and I think it goes gorgeous with Francesca.

My 2 cents... nobody ever wants my name opinions because I have a Yorick and a Phineas... lol.

I like Ella or Ava and they are similar enough to have that same "ring" to them... Plus Ava is my Marley's middle name so I'm partial! Good luck!

We really like Avery, but we have an 11 year old nephew that we literally see 3 times a month and he would die of embarrassment if we named his girl cousin after him. LOL

Oh! And if you ask my little boy what his sister's name, he says it's Isabella. I love that one too. However, do you think it's freaky that I LOVE Twilight and then my baby girl is inadvertently named after the main character?

You guys are awesome! You've given me such awesome ideas.

How do you pronounce Isla? That one is intriguing me.

I really thought about Ella for a long time because it's another one of my favorites, but then I worried that it was too similar to Emma and my brother or SIL would think I was trying to be like them, but just off a litte. I worry too much!

My girls are Ava and Lilith.
Other names I love

Quinn (Lilith's middle name)
Addison
Charlotte
Emily
Sophie

I find girls names so much easier than boys names! Hope you find a name that you love (and that no one close to you is already using it!)

you hit the nail on the head. you are worrying too much. this is YOUR daughters name and you have to love it for her FOR-EVER. pick what you and DH want and don't worry about what other people think/say. and if you get any lip let them know that lizzy will be knockin on their door for a little 'talk'.

There's been some beautiful suggestions! As for choosing a name that is too similar to your brother's child...here's a story for you, lol. I was the first in our family to get pregant, and we picked out the name Mason Joel if it was a boy (which it was, lol). I found out afterwards that my sister had chosen Grayson Joel years before but had never said anything. The "Joel" for each of us was important for different reasons - that was DH's little brothers name (he only lived for a few hours, born at I think 22 weeks), and for my sister it was the name of a close friend who was killed in an accident. Anyhow, she DID end up calling him Grayson but chose a different middle name, though I wouldn't have cared. It's funny because we call them Mason and Gray...not Mason and Grayson, kwim.

I know of 2 girls (sisters) that had babies very close together and they named them Ava and Ada. I still don't know which one is which, lmao. And Trev's cousins (also sisters) named their boys Aiden and Cayden.

So in all honesty, I wouldn't really worry about having a name that is TOO similar to your brother's little girl. They will both be distinct by personality and their names are different.

I second this, my BFF named her little girl Ily and I named my daughter Ivy. They have totally different personalities and the only time their names get mixed up is if one (or both) of them is getting a stern talking to, hahaha.

I love 'A' names for girls. My girls' names are Audrey and Abby. Of the ones mentioned so far, I really love Audrey, Ava and Ella with Francesca. They're such beautiful, classic names.

Good luck deciding!

You are so right! I just worry too much. I just need to calm down my pregnancy emotions and pick the name that we are thrilled with.

I wondered if it was pronounced that way! It's darling. My first name is Kyla - pronounced with the same long "i" in the first syllable. We'd have rhyming names Also, my dad's grandmother was Ila - pronounced the same way as Isla, just spelled differently. That would be cool to use two great grandmothers' names for her name.

Even though it is properly pronounced the way Bren illustrated...remember that not everyone will pronounce it right. They will read Isla and say Isla, kwim.
sorry just my own personal life experience with people saying mine and my kids names incorrectly.

I wonder if a shorter name with the longer middle would sound the best?

Bella Francesca
Aida
Ella
Celia
Eva
Maria
Mia-Mya-Myah
Mila
Gina
Lia

I was thinking about names as I was trying to fall asleep - hee hee - how about Mia (me-a) or Leah Francesca.

Close Name Story: I had Hayden in July and then my sister had a little boy in January - she named him Jaidan...very confusing for the grandparents, but in the grand scheme of things, it really doesn't matter as long as you love it!

I've never heard of Isla pronounced like that! I knew an Isla and was pronounced like East-la, but without the T. Eas-La. Isla.

I appreciate all the help and reassurance that we should just do what we want to do.

So, another question, do you think it would be weird or un-cool if I did name her Emma? If I was your sister-in-law (cuz it's really my brother's wife I'm worried about), would you hate me? Or do you think its weird?

A little extra info - we live in Cali, they are going to school in Iowa and will probably live in Utah when they are done with school. We'll probably see each other maybe twice a year. For instance, the last time I saw them was Christmas last year and since I'm prego now, I won't see them until my baby brother's wedding in June.

I don't think its a big deal at all. I mean, its one thing if you live in the same town and see each other every single day or something. Even then, its not like they're sisters. They're cousins! I say go for it. If you love Emma, then name her Emma and don't worry about your SIL. She'll probably be a bit annoyed cuz its "her" name, but she'll get over it.

Since you don't live in the same place, i would just use Emma.

I wouldn't use the same name as the first name. But that's just me personally. I didn't even name my kids anything that my cousins used either (my DH wanted to use the name "Dane" for Mason and I kept veto'ing it because it's my cousin's son's name). We don't live near any of my family either, but I still wouldn't do it.
