More girl baby names for consideration

[Deleted]

1. Julia or Juliet Love both of them

2. Eleanor or Norah Like Eleanor, love Norah

3. Maria NMS

4. Gwendolyn (but last name starts with N so I heard that's a no-no here before) Like

5. I love love love Katherine but it is DH's most significant ex's name, should I push on this? hahaha. I prefer Catherine but I probably wouldn't use an ex's name.

[vanillacourage]

Love Juliet and Norah. Nora was my great-grandmother's name and it was a strong contender had DS2 been a girl.

I wouldn't push on naming a kiddo after DH's ex - not only would I want to avoid the association but I wouldn't want everyone else thinking "hmm, that's weird, didn't she know that's his ex? AWKWARD!".

[dcrunnergirl]

I like Julia or Juliet the best. I love the name Juliet.

I definitely don't like Maria. It sounds outdated.

Katherine is cute, but NMS.

Of the names you've posted, I like Juliet, Julia, and Hazel the best.

[partiallysunny]

I like Julia or Eleanor. I've never like Nora/Norah, but ever person I've met named that have been amazing people.

[luvmagoldn]

Julia!

I would avoid Norah if your last name also starts with an N.

[Deleted]

I like Juliet, Norah, Gwendolyn, and Hazel.

Of those, I personally would choose Juliet or Gwendolyn (love Gwen as a nn).

I love Katherine as well (in fact that is what we're naming our DD) but I wouldn't use it if it was the name of my H's significant ex. I think that would be too weird.

[drloretta]

Julia or Juliet Love Julia

2. Eleanor or Norah Love Eleanor

[h]

I love Julie, Eleanor, and Norah. Katherine is great but I wouldn't push it if it is weird for your DH. Hazel is my favorite of yesterday's contenders, but I prefer Julia, Eleanor, or Norah to it.

[Brie]

I love Julia a lot with your LN.

[ijack]

I love Eleanor/Nora!

[spiderspray]

1. Julia or Juliet Love Juliet, as long as the obvious reference doesn't bother you

2. Eleanor or Norah Love both

3. Maria Meh

4. Gwendolyn (but last name starts with N so I heard that's a no-no here before) Like the name, but I agree with the last name issue. Might sound a little jumbled

5. I love love love Katherine but it is DH's most significant ex's name, should I push on this? hahaha. - Definitely a No! lol

6. Gabriella (DH's grandma's name) I can't stand the nn Gabby, so I vote no on this one

7. Hazel I actually dig this one quite a bit

8. Laura Classic, simple, not overly popular. Always a good choice.

[dreamgirl]

Other than maria and laura, i love the names! I would probably not do katherine because of the history, which is too bad.

Very cute names

[caramia17]

1. Julia or Juliet Meh

2. Eleanor or Norah Like Eleanor, esp with a nickname Ellie, Love Norah

3. Maria Meh

4. Gwendolyn (but last name starts with N so I heard that's a no-no here before) Love, but may not work for a "N" last name

5. I love love love Katherine but it is DH's most significant ex's name, should I push on this? hahaha. Afraid it might get too popular with the dutchess. Prefer Catherine.

6. Gabriella (DH's grandma's name) Meh

7. Hazel Like

8. Laura

[Deleted]

I like Gwendolen. I'm also a fan of Penelope.

[lmb5109]

I still like Gabriella the best

[rootbeerfloat]

I like Juliet, Norah and Gabriella (in that order).

Also, re: the Gwendolyn and your last name starting with N. We broke that rule with DS, and I don't think it sounds bad.

[rex]

Hazel & Norah are my favorites.

[locarb]

Gwen, Gabriella and Hazel are my fave

[Deleted]

I know your last name, and I will say I'm not a fan of Norah with it (and Norah is my favorite girl name, so I do really like it in general!)

My favorites with your last name are Julia or Juliet (I prefer the latter but either are fine) and I actually don't dislike Gwendolyn, despite the 2 n's I think they go together fine.

I also like Hazel and Laura. I think that Gabriella is beautiful and I like the association with her great grandma, but I think combined with your last name it is kind of a long and complicated name. In general I prefer more simple names with complicated last names and vice versa (that's what I dislike about my last name, it is SO simple that many names are too short/plain to go with it).
