We have a good friend with that name, which is the only reason it wasn't in the running for us. Our DD is Natalie, which doesn't have an obvious nickname, and I think would be lovely with Ella. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-girl-name-suggestions#post-2677934 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 11:34:03 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2677934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also, I liked Blake but DH preferred Brooke. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-girl-name-suggestions#post-2677929 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 11:30:21 +0000 LibbyLou 2677929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cora, Amelia, Maeve, Mae, Elliot.

And it goes well with Ella, both classics :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-girl-name-suggestions#post-2677855 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 10:22:05 +0000 schubr03 2677855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi all! Looking for some name suggestions. We are having another girl! We absolutely do not want names that can be obviously shortened (ex. Catherine to Katie, etc). We know that nicknames can happen no matter what the name is, but would like to try to avoid if possible. </p> <p>These are our current in the running names.<br /> Avery, Blake, Luna</p> <p>For what it's worth, we have an Ella right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley/page/2#post-2230960 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 07:25:36 +0000 Finfan 2230960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyD: I've known one Hadley since high school and that's what her friends and family called her too. I don't know her well at all but I've always liked the name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley/page/2#post-2230959 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 07:24:32 +0000 Finfan 2230959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@keepcalmcarrie: They are definitely both pretty. Caroline is my leading contender. Just need to get DH on board! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley/page/2#post-2230849 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 22:32:04 +0000 cheesetomywhine 2230849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@keepcalmcarrie: Interesting! Thanks for sharing. I wonder if it is regional as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley/page/2#post-2230847 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 22:26:55 +0000 keepcalmcarrie 2230847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Finfan: @cheesetomywhine: yeah, I get the "line" all the time. As I said, I think that's pretty too. It is more common now for "lin" to be associated with Carolyn. But I guess, traditionally, it was the short "i" sound with the traditional spelling. Like Catherine, Jasmine, etc.</p> <p>My mom gets super huffy about this, because everyone "mispronounces" my proper name. But since 99% of the time I go by my nickname, it really makes no difference! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley/page/2#post-2230819 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 21:38:03 +0000 Finfan 2230819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cheesetomywhine: That's my reasoning too. I think it's more likely to be pronounced -line in this area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley/page/2#post-2230786 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 21:06:21 +0000 JennyD 2230786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our LO is Hadley :)</p> <p>We didn't think there was an easy nickname but we call her Hads a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley/page/2#post-2230753 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 20:32:12 +0000 cheesetomywhine 2230753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Finfan: For what it's worth I'd pronounce Caroline with line at the end. Carolyn gets the lin sound. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley/page/2#post-2230745 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 20:26:44 +0000 Finfan 2230745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@keepcalmcarrie: I like them both, possibly leaning slightly towards Caroline? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley/page/2#post-2230682 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 19:17:12 +0000 keepcalmcarrie 2230682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My name is Caroline, nn Carrie, so I'm partial ;) How would you pronounce it? I prefer "Caro-linn," (think Kennedy) to "Caro-line," though both are pretty. And I think it pairs so nicely with Eleanor (and "Nora" is so, so cute!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley/page/2#post-2230674 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 19:09:20 +0000 mfa_lady 2230674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an Eleanor, too! I can't decide if I like Caroline or Hadley better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley#post-2230665 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 18:48:36 +0000 anbanan15 2230665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Finfan: Well that makes sense not to use it :wink: It is one of my favorite names! Great choice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley#post-2230663 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 18:44:38 +0000 FannyMae 2230663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Caroline, could use Carrie as a nickname. Ivy is also nice, its a very "now" name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley#post-2230644 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 18:00:30 +0000 Finfan 2230644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anbanan15: Eleanor is DD1's name so that's why we are not using it. It got popular right after she was born (of course!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley#post-2230643 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 17:59:20 +0000 Finfan 2230643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TemperanceBrennan: we would probably use a nickname with Caroline, at least some of the time. We are nickname people. DD1 goes by Nora, but she is named after a family member. </p> <p>I really like the name Hattie but DH would prefer it not to be the full name. I don't care for Harriet or Henrietta so I thought I would see what people thought about Hadley. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley#post-2230632 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 17:42:12 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2230632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ivy is my favorite of the names, but I think Caroline pairs best with Eleanor.</p> <p>Or, Hattie is a cute name in and of itself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/caroline-ivy-or-hadley#post-2230629 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 17:35:03 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 2230629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think those three names are pretty different style-wise. Since your first is named Eleanor, I think Caroline fits best with it. </p> <p>Do you use a nickname often for Eleanor? Would you use one for Caroline?</p> <p>I'm not a fan of Hadley with Eleanor, but if you wanted the nickname Hattie, there's Henrietta. I like that it plays off the currently popular Henry name for boys and has the nicknames Hattie and Etta. Just a thought. </p>
