I especially like the nickname Ellie, which I'm hoping is what I could use if we choose Everly for a name. Thanks!</p> <p>@lady grey: Yeah, it doesn't bother me at all - it's more my husband :)</p> <p>@LuLu Mom: I like Emerson and tried to get DH on board, but he's not taking the bait!!</p> <p>@littlebug: I like Kenley, although we do have a friend with a Kinley...so not sure if that's too close. I also like Ellery and might try adding it to the list!</p> <p>@2PeasinaPod: Yes, we've been throwing Mae or Maeve around for a middle name (depending on the first). Love it :)</p> <p>@sera_87: Ooh Ismae is very pretty and incorporates Mae. Thank you!</p> <p>@LibbyLou: Great suggestions, thank you! I love the nickname Fliss and hadn't thought of Felicity before. Also Larkin and Hartley I haven't heard and are so cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-name-help-please#post-2063283 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 19:20:37 +0000 LibbyLou 2063283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Really love your choices! Hazel is gorgeous and I don't think isla is getting too popular. I think it's a name people like- but not a name that gets used too much. You can check your state social security data to see how many have been named Isla the the last years. Other suggestions:<br /> Greer, Cora, Georgia, Felicity (love nn Fliss)<br /> Acacia, Jade/jada, Larkin, Hartley(nn hart)<br /> Arden </p> <p>Lots of great suggestions above but tried to name some that weren't suggested. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-name-help-please#post-2062903 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 15:34:42 +0000 sera_87 2062903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Keppa: similar to Isla - I really like Ismae. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-name-help-please#post-2062840 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 15:10:11 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2062840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any thoughts to Mae? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-name-help-please#post-2062796 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 14:47:49 +0000 littlebug 2062796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about Kenley? My neighbor's daughter is Ellery and I thought that was really pretty. And a good friend just named her daughter Elliot, which I love LOVE for a girl. I also love Brinley, but maybe that's too close to your son's name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-name-help-please#post-2062780 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 14:37:33 +0000 LuLu Mom 2062780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well Everly is actually our choice for DD2, so some other names I liked that we considered (maybe along the same style you like) </p> <p>Meredith, Lyla, Elodie, Elyse, Clara, Norah, Lydia, Kellan, Ellery, Elliot (I love the nickname Elly). Our dd1 is Emerson (goes by Emme.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-name-help-please#post-2062771 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 14:33:12 +0000 lady grey 2062771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Keppa: Personally I don't mind alliterative names at all, I actually think they are cute! Like Lucy Liu, Amy Adams and Marilyn Monroe. But do what whatever sounds best to you obs! Maybe you aren't looking for a "cute" style name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-name-help-please#post-2062752 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 14:21:24 +0000 tequiero21 2062752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Kenna and noelle. What about Ellice Or elyse? Pronounced el-leese... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-name-help-please#post-2062747 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 14:17:12 +0000 Mrs. Oyster 2062747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrschickpea: Thanks! My husband is actually ok with Kenna (didn't think he would be), but is unsure of Bridgette because he has a distant cousin with that name (grr haha). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-name-help-please#post-2062744 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 14:16:15 +0000 Mrs. Oyster 2062744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: Everly is definitely getting a bit more popular. I love Vivienne - but my SIL actually just named her baby girl that haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-name-help-please#post-2062740 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 14:15:35 +0000 Mrs. Oyster 2062740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ra: Ooh, Irie is beautiful. Isla has been on our short list, but I feel like it's getting very popular for some reason? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-name-help-please#post-2062737 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 14:14:38 +0000 Mrs. Oyster 2062737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lady grey: Aw, yes, I love Hazel. I should have mentioned that our last name starts with 'H' - so I'm still trying to figure out if I think that's an issue haha. Amalia and Eloise are definitely going on the list. Thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-name-help-please#post-2062735 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 14:13:32 +0000 Mrs. Oyster 2062735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lady baltimore: Our friend who named her daughter Everly, is a good friend but we don't see each other often. Our children won't be in the same school system and we're lucky to see them once a month. Thank you for your suggestions! I completely forgot about Neve - it was on our short list during my first pregnancy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-name-help-please#post-2061888 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 01:23:15 +0000 mrschickpea 2061888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually really like Bridgette and Kenna from your list! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-name-help-please#post-2061873 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 00:15:54 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2061873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everly is a beautiful name but it is definitely gaining in popularity. I love the name Vivienne! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-name-help-please#post-2061872 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 00:13:13 +0000 Ra 2061872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a friend whose daughter's name is Brenna, which is similar to Kenna and also goes with your son's name (unless it's too matchy?). </p> <p>I love Hazel. Some other thoughts: Eden, Violet, Annaleigh/Annalise, Irie, Amelie.</p> <p>Also, I typed in Everly in Nameberry and they listed the following as similar names: Coralie, Hadley, Harlow, Harper, Hartley, Isla, Kennedy, Natalie, Piper, Quinn, Sloane, Vivienne, Ellery, Elle, Emery, Kinley, Kinsley, Luna, Maeve, Paisley, Rosalie, Vera. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-name-help-please#post-2061834 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 22:54:46 +0000 lady grey 2061834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Keppa: If my next child is a girl she will be Hazel, so thats what I vote for!</p> <p>I also love: Cosette, Eloise, Evelyn, Josephine, Harlow, Winslow, Amalia </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-name-help-please#post-2061828 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 22:48:49 +0000 lady baltimore 2061828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Of your picks, I think Kenna goes best with your son's name.</p> <p>How close are you to the friend who used Everly? Do you travel in the same circles? Will your kids see eachother much?</p> <p>What about . . . Elodie? Briar? Hadley? Wren? Wynn? Jessa? Sonja? Lorna? Carys? Neve? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-name-help-please#post-2061822 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 22:41:01 +0000 Mrs. Oyster 2061822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Requesting some name help from my smartie bees! I'm due with a girl in May. We already have a son named Baylen. I love his name because it's uncommon but also seems strong to me.</p> <p>My first choice for a girl's name has been (for as long as I can remember) Everly. Recently a friend of mine had her 2nd little girl and was having trouble naming her, so I shared the name Everly and she asked if she could use it, as it was the only name she and her husband ended up liking. I didn't feel like it was "my" name persay, or my place to tell her she couldn't use a name (just seems silly) - so, long story short, that's their daughter's name. I still love the name, but the amount of love has just kind of changed since then.</p> <p>Annnnnyway - now we're looking for names and, although my husband's still set on Everly, I'm hoping for other suggestions. Some other names I like include Noelle, Kenna, Hannah Lyla, Hazel and Bridgette. So I guess thoughts on any of those names with our son's name, or other suggestions would be great!</p> <p>Thank you for your help!!! </p>
