I actually prefer it for a Dec baby vs my May baby :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/classic-girl-names/page/2#post-2252896 Mon, 03 Aug 2015 07:51:40 +0000 Foodnerd81 2252896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@78h2o: I like Holly but the baby is due a week before Christmas, so it could be a little much. Though I'd consider Noelle as a middle name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/classic-girl-names/page/2#post-2252861 Mon, 03 Aug 2015 07:23:53 +0000 daffodil 2252861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FOODNERD81 What about June, Mabel or Iris? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/classic-girl-names/page/2#post-2252860 Mon, 03 Aug 2015 07:23:40 +0000 78h2o 2252860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: congratulations on your girl! I like classic names too. We named our first Julia. I wanted Clara for our second, but my husband nixed it. We ended up naming our second Holly after a friend of mine who had passed. I also really like Grace (which was another dream DH dashed, lol!).</p> <p>If you don't use Grace, here are some other ideas...</p> <p>Clara &amp; Elise (my fav!)<br /> Clara &amp; Rebecca<br /> Clara &amp; Susannah<br /> Clara &amp; Lauren<br /> Clara &amp; Lucia<br /> Clara &amp; Julia<br /> Clara &amp; Maye</p> <p>Less classic, but your husband might like:<br /> Clara &amp; Alyssa<br /> Clara &amp; Alison nn Ali<br /> Clara &amp; Morgan </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/classic-girl-names/page/2#post-2252835 Mon, 03 Aug 2015 06:08:18 +0000 Foodnerd81 2252835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.KMM: I really like Paige but Dh doesn't. </p> <p>@lemondrop: @youboots: we do both like Alice and have discussed it. But it somehow seems meh with our last name, like it needs some sound that pops. But it's not it of the running. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/classic-girl-names/page/2#post-2252813 Mon, 03 Aug 2015 02:14:50 +0000 lemondrop 2252813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about Alice instead of Alicia? You can't get more classic than Alice, I love that name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/classic-girl-names/page/2#post-2252790 Sun, 02 Aug 2015 22:57:54 +0000 ElbieKay 2252790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Matilda? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/classic-girl-names/page/2#post-2252789 Sun, 02 Aug 2015 22:56:55 +0000 youboots 2252789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A few more ideas... I think a short name might be nice to go with your DDs name. Check out one of those name sites that show the bell curve for popularity- I'm in the same camp that Alicia is no good while Alice is certainly lovely.</p> <p>Sally<br /> Jane<br /> Ruby </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/classic-girl-names/page/2#post-2252785 Sun, 02 Aug 2015 22:37:26 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2252785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought of another name that goes well with Clara - Paige! Although I don't know that it works that well with Grace. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/classic-girl-names/page/2#post-2252476 Sun, 02 Aug 2015 12:44:35 +0000 AmandaB8 2252476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a Natalie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/classic-girl-names/page/2#post-2252459 Sun, 02 Aug 2015 12:23:57 +0000 Foodnerd81 2252459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: I really like Nora but I feel like it is too matchy with Clara. </p> <p>I really wish my taste wasn't so similar to so many other mamas right now. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/classic-girl-names/page/2#post-2252454 Sun, 02 Aug 2015 12:20:17 +0000 NovBaby1112 2252454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: love Nora!!! </p> <p>I love Emma, Violet, Emily, Lucy, Sophie, Elizabeth for classic names </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/classic-girl-names/page/2#post-2252440 Sun, 02 Aug 2015 12:01:23 +0000 Miss Ariel 2252440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like Emma. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/classic-girl-names/page/2#post-2252434 Sun, 02 Aug 2015 11:54:20 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2252434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh what about Nora? Clara and Nora. Is that too matchy? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/classic-girl-names#post-2252427 Sun, 02 Aug 2015 11:41:29 +0000 Mrs. Peanut 2252427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Alicia does sound a bit 80's. Plus it's not a good choice if you are concerned about people misspelling it. They will. A lot. </p> <p>A few ideas:<br /> Delilah<br /> Mae<br /> Fiona<br /> Vivienne<br /> Marigold</p> <p>I would say Charlotte and Evelyn too but they're incredibly popular. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/classic-girl-names#post-2252375 Sun, 02 Aug 2015 10:11:42 +0000 MamaCate 2252375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: A few "classic" names that I haven't seen on here:<br /> Victoria<br /> Cordelia<br /> Lucinda (nn Lucy)<br /> Abigail<br /> Anna </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/classic-girl-names#post-2252367 Sun, 02 Aug 2015 09:40:06 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2252367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: we went with the Lyla spelling because it makes the pronunciation more obvious. I do get the Lila misspelling sometimes, but that wasn't as big a deal to me. I want substitute teachers to be able to say it correctly haha ;) </p> <p>Also, her middle name is Grace. I call her Lyla Grace a lot of the time. I love how they flow together! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/classic-girl-names#post-2252366 Sun, 02 Aug 2015 09:27:11 +0000 Foodnerd81 2252366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This thread has made me realize DH totally has a little bit of an 80s preference. He also liked Jason for a boy which felt weird to me- we weren't naming someone from our generation! I agree that Alicia feels like she should be 30, not a newborn. </p> <p>@Mrs. Lion: love Lyla but I worry people would misspell it a lot. Do you run into that? </p> <p>@Mrs. Deer: love both of your daughters names! Rose is definitely on the maybe list (for me at least). </p> <p>Also adding Ruby to my list. </p> <p>It was so much easier with Clara. Like, I saw it somewhere, thought hmmm, that's really pretty. Said to DH, how about Clara? He said, yeah, and suggested the same middle name I was thinking of, and done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/classic-girl-names#post-2252289 Sun, 02 Aug 2015 06:19:06 +0000 rachiecakes 2252289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anna<br /> Chloe<br /> Nina<br /> Elise<br /> Elle<br /> Jane<br /> Helen<br /> Rose<br /> Cora </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/classic-girl-names#post-2252270 Sun, 02 Aug 2015 03:29:14 +0000 Yogini bee 2252270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats @foodnerd81...how exciting! My name is Caroline and my grandma was Clara, so I'm liking your style! As you know I'm having a boy, which I'm finding difficult to think of names for, but I had quite a few girls names that I like that I think are similar to the ones you've mentioned: Lydia, Emma, Ruth, Olivia, Eliza, Margaret, Grace and Violet. My favourites are Grace and Lydia, so I think your choice of Grace is lovely :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/classic-girl-names#post-2252264 Sun, 02 Aug 2015 02:37:21 +0000 Ra 2252264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think Alicia sounds dated where Clara sounds classic. </p> <p>Ruby is my favorite name right now. I also love Eliza, Annabel, Amelie, Matilda, Eva, Audrey, Norah, Juliet, Beatrix, Delilah, Magnolia, Lola, Natalie, Poppy, Penelope, Alice, Camilla. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/classic-girl-names#post-2252263 Sun, 02 Aug 2015 01:15:40 +0000 erinpye 2252263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay for another girl! Having 2 girls is super fun! </p> <p>Looking at the suggestions so far, my thoughts are that Stella and Eleanor are really popular. I LOVE both Ruby and Margot, and think they go with Grace as a middle, as well as fit nicely with Clara. Ruby Grace makes me swoon :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/classic-girl-names#post-2252215 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 21:44:56 +0000 mfa_lady 2252215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our DD is Eleanor--I think that could work great for y'all!</p> <p>My other two faves (that I can't get DH on board with) are Matilda and Josephine. We also both love Louisa. </p> <p>Congrats, mama! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/classic-girl-names#post-2252211 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 21:36:34 +0000 Foodnerd81 2252211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: our friends dog is Sadie. :bummed: </p> <p>So many good names on here.
