We are still hopelessly deadlocked :) my hubby is so attached to the name Matilda so I might need to cave on this one :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-baby-girl-names#post-2318395 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 19:43:27 +0000 Cole 2318395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my goodness, I LOVE Cora Jane. I think Cora is on my short list for a future baby. I do really love Matilda too though and you could use Milly or Tilly as a nick name which I think is adorable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-baby-girl-names#post-2318389 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 19:39:13 +0000 mfa_lady 2318389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love your name picks! Cora was on our short list, and I loved Matilda but DH vetoed. I like the middle name Jane best with both! You could use the NN Mattie or Tillie for Matilda! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-baby-girl-names#post-2303004 Sat, 26 Sep 2015 15:10:44 +0000 babybean404 2303004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love Matilda, there is a clothing line Matilda Jane which might be why that sounds "right"/familiar! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-baby-girl-names#post-2302999 Sat, 26 Sep 2015 14:51:52 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2302999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Matilda Jane because I like the nn Tilly </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-baby-girl-names#post-2302926 Sat, 26 Sep 2015 11:47:17 +0000 Ginabean3 2302926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love love love love Matilda! We would have used that but there is already a Mathilde in the family.....and she's the same generation and pretty close to us so it would be weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-baby-girl-names#post-2302892 Sat, 26 Sep 2015 09:38:52 +0000 lauren0817 2302892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shellio: thank you!!

Ohh all three of those names are adorable - I'm adding them to our growing possible names list :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-baby-girl-names#post-2283818 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 09:30:30 +0000 lauren0817 2283818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Chocolate: yeah I hadn't heard of the clothing line until recently but that's definitely something to keep in mind :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-baby-girl-names#post-2283605 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 20:51:19 +0000 Foodnerd81 2283605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaryM: my LO's middle name is Mae after my mom and grandmother, who are both Mary (and my middle name is). Her name is really similar to Cora Mae. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-baby-girl-names#post-2283532 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 20:05:58 +0000 lady grey 2283532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lauren0817: I love your name style. Cora a high up on my girl name list, its was my great grandmother name. I like Matilda too! Others ideas:<br /> Hazel<br /> Willa<br /> Eloise </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-baby-girl-names#post-2283386 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 16:08:52 +0000 mauxie 2283386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like both, but considering how popular Matilda is, I'd go with Cora Jane :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-baby-girl-names#post-2283379 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 16:01:43 +0000 Mrs. Chocolate 2283379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Matilda Jane but it makes me think of the clothing line too. Its not a bad association just one that sticks out </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-baby-girl-names#post-2283378 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 15:59:53 +0000 lauren0817 2283378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: that is a very good point - I think Downton Abby might be partly responsible :) I also like the super popular names - I guess I understand why they're so popular! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-baby-girl-names#post-2283377 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 15:58:34 +0000 lauren0817 2283377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaryM: oohh Mae is cute!

Then it's not obvious I'm naming her after me, but it's still there. </p> <p>But we had a lot of friends use the name so I dropped it for Jane. </p> <p>Cora Mae would be cute though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-baby-girl-names#post-2282488 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 05:38:01 +0000 Ree723 2282488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooh, love both Cora Jane and Matilda Jane! I really wanted to use the name Matilda and call her Tilly but DH just wasn't on board. We have a family member who calls her Mathilda, Tilda and it sounds so adorable! Both names are great though - you can't go wrong! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-baby-girl-names#post-2282487 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 05:35:20 +0000 hellobeeboston 2282487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cora Jane!!! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-baby-girl-names#post-2282446 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 01:03:43 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2282446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about Rosemary Jane?</p> <p>That way you have Mary AND Jane included, and she could go by Rose, Rosie, Romy, Rosemary, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-baby-girl-names#post-2282444 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 01:02:24 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2282444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It doesn't get much cutter than Matilda Jane!</p> <p>Plus, there are cute nickname options. Mattie, Tilly, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-baby-girl-names#post-2282387 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 22:09:12 +0000 lauren0817 2282387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My grandmother's name is Mary and that is also my middle name so I would love to use it if possible, but it just doesn't sound right with either of these names. I might try to come up with a couple more options that work with Mary as a middle name before deciding. If you have any suggestions, I would love to hear them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-baby-girl-names#post-2282383 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 22:07:01 +0000 lauren0817 2282383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Peanut: interesting point about the r's! I knew the combo didn't quite sound right, but couldn't put my finger on why. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-baby-girl-names#post-2282335 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 21:16:44 +0000 Mrs. Peanut 2282335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Cora Jane. Cora Matilda had too many A sounds for me and your DH may want to use Matilda for a future child. Cora Mary seems like too many Rs. Cora is lovely! </p>
