Name Help?

[laurenh]

Now that baby zarapipe is here, is anyone up for another round of please help me name my babies? Coming up with 2 names is hard!

Pertinent details:

*poof*

- I don't want them to begin with the same letter, or with an H
- I don't so much care about popularity as long as it's a strong name for a professional as an adult

Some contenders are: Addison, Charlotte, Reagan, and Sloane.

Any ideas or thoughts?

[dulcemariamar]

From your list I only like Charlotte.

How about


Greta

Sarah

Allison

Lydia

[smock]

Off the top of my head . . . Chelsea, Amelia, Olivia. OR how about PIPER!!!

[cincodemayo]

Gwen?
Caroline?

On your list I like Reagan and Charlotte

[spk926]

I don't think of Sloane as a professional name, sorry. I like

Charlotte
Addison
Olivia
Audrey
Caroline

Also... Regardless of which way you swing personally, I would be hesitant to name a kid Reagan just because it might come off as politically charged.

Or maybe it's just my area that all of the super conservative Republicans all name their kids Reagan. lol

I agree. I wouldn't pick any presidential name for this reason.

I love Charlotte.

I also like Margaret, Rose, Juliette, Elizabeth, Matilda, Katherine, and Victoria.

I also highly recommend Beatrix/Beatrice, but I'm biased there.

[laurenh]

@this I didn't even think of that, thank you! I have never met anyone that has named their kid that but I am a Yankee

[laurenh]

You guys are good!

No hard feeling spk926, I like getting other perspectives! Just not from my family members lol.

[laurenh]

@this it's a really good point, I think we'll pull it from the list. I can hear certain family members commentary now.

Bullet dodged!

[dancingirl21]

I love Sloane. It's on our list for a girl.

Others:

Samantha
Claire
Kate
Victoria
Avery

I like all of these. Although I have a hard time getting the old Simon & Garfunkel song out of my head about Cecelia. (H keeps suggesting it.)

[laurenh]

How do we feel about Reese? Would you assume it was a boy? Or perhaps a chocolate lab?

[countthestars]

@this - Piper is on my list. Not sure if H will go for it, though.

[laurenh]

H keeps giving me helpful (read: ridiculous) explanations, such as "we can't use Audrey because of the lady on 24 and she looks like a horse."

[countthestars]

I like Reese!

Also:
Natalie
Audrey
Aubrey
Sadie
Claire
Alexa/Alexis
Eva

 This is exactly why I nixed Audrey from our list!!

Lol, DEAD.

[sjh722]

I like Reese as a middle name, too.

Charlotte Reese would be pretty!

And my H does the same thing. "Once I knew this one person who had that name and they were a jerk. NO."

[Ashley&Scott]

Not really a fan of Reagan or Sloane.

Other ideas:
Elise
Ava
Amelia
Elizabeth
Vivienne

[rosebud]

I try to stay away from celebrity/popular names, but I'm a saddled with a SSI #1 name from 1970-1984... Popular names aren't fun IMO

ladygrey I was like she has such great taste in names! I love those!

Then I remembered our DDs have the same name. lol

I know! I felt a special sense of camaraderie once I found out your DD's name from IG

[Brie]

Our short list for girls was:

Alice
Claire
Tessa
Lila
Gemma
Lorelai

[stacyb1983]

Out of the names you listed, I like Charlotte. I love the nickname Charlie for a little girl. I love the name Molly.

[turtletop90]

Our friends just named their twins Eva and Mila. I think it's a cute pairing. (maybe too similar sounding though?)
