I love the name so much, and I agonized over my second daughter's name. We ended up naming her Cecilia. We now know 4 little Cecilias but Caroline is the one and only. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-9/page/2#post-2739816 Thu, 25 May 2017 06:51:51 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2739816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ruby<br /> Poppy<br /> Clara </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-9/page/2#post-2739782 Wed, 24 May 2017 23:14:46 +0000 birdofafeather 2739782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Addison<br /> Gracie<br /> Parker<br /> Clara<br /> Hazel<br /> Georgia<br /> June<br /> Henley<br /> Emerson<br /> Harlowe<br /> Natalie<br /> Tatum<br /> Amelia<br /> Isla<br /> Piper<br /> Ruby </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-9/page/2#post-2739778 Wed, 24 May 2017 22:46:22 +0000 Coral 2739778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: I have a friend who lives in Portland and her daughter's name is Cambria! What are the odds?! (I *think* I remember you are in Oregon.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-9/page/2#post-2739766 Wed, 24 May 2017 21:21:22 +0000 Shantuck 2739766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We almost named DD Sloane but ultimately picked Arden. I liked Caroline but couldn't get DH on board. I also liked Alexis (nickname Lexi) but couldn't get him on board with that one either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-9/page/2#post-2739764 Wed, 24 May 2017 21:05:46 +0000 ShootingStar 2739764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the name Emmeline. Our daughter is Lily. It seems common in general (characters on tv shows, I hear it in public, etc.) but I haven't run across other Lilys at daycare or among my friends' kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-9/page/2#post-2739715 Wed, 24 May 2017 17:30:28 +0000 autumnleaves 2739715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Caroline and don't know that many. If you are going with an H name, I think Harper sounds perfect with your boys. I also like Tabitha, Molly, Penelope, and Sarah. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-9/page/2#post-2739688 Wed, 24 May 2017 15:50:59 +0000 SweetiePie 2739688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know a Cecily Rose and they call her Cece (like C.C.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-9/page/2#post-2739674 Wed, 24 May 2017 15:27:41 +0000 Ms. RV 2739674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about Carolyn instead of Caroline? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-9/page/2#post-2739657 Wed, 24 May 2017 14:58:20 +0000 KayKay 2739657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maren?

Or maybe:<br /> Hadley<br /> Hettie<br /> Hana<br /> Hayden<br /> Hazel<br /> Hope</p> <p>Rose is a great middle name too. I love Harlow Rose. I do love Caroline too but not sure I love it as much with your boys' names. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-9/page/2#post-2739629 Wed, 24 May 2017 13:52:48 +0000 Smurfette 2739629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know one Caroline (friend of a friend's daughter). But I love it with Callie as the nickname. Even more that the boys picked it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-9/page/2#post-2739569 Wed, 24 May 2017 12:27:41 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 2739569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have many little Carolines in our area, but if you love the name, go for it! I also have a niece name Emmeline, and it's such a beautiful name, and a bit less popular, bit still in the Emma/Emily family. </p> <p>Go with your gut! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-9#post-2739568 Wed, 24 May 2017 12:27:31 +0000 Pancakes 2739568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Caroline but I know a lot of Carolines under 5 so that would personally deter me from using it. I really love the idea of an H name to give you E-F-G-H.<br /> How about:<br /> Hadley/Hattie<br /> Harriet/Hattie<br /> Helena/Lanie<br /> Harper<br /> Hazel<br /> Haley </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-9#post-2739563 Wed, 24 May 2017 12:21:28 +0000 pregnantbee 2739563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Molly -- Molly Rose sounds good to me :)<br /> Bridget<br /> Callie (as the whole name) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-9#post-2739555 Wed, 24 May 2017 12:10:55 +0000 Mrs. Turtle 2739555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE Caroline but had the same concerns about popularity. Our top girls name was Adeline. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-9#post-2739554 Wed, 24 May 2017 12:10:17 +0000 catgirl 2739554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some ideas for recognizable but a little uncommon:</p> <p>Greta<br /> Harriet<br /> Laurel<br /> Margy<br /> Marnie<br /> Tessa<br /> Wendy<br /> Wren </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-9#post-2739548 Wed, 24 May 2017 12:04:07 +0000 mdf106 2739548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about just using Callie, without Caroline. Some other options are Sawyer, Alice, Ruby, Piper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-9#post-2739531 Wed, 24 May 2017 10:41:09 +0000 Foodnerd81 2739531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: I do love Caroline, and personally I only know one little Caroline. </p> <p>But speaking as someone who struggled with finding a name we loved that wasn't super popular, we ended up using the super popular name. G's name is #9 most popular in our state and has been for a few years. She's not in school yet but we have met quite a few in playgrounds and there is even another little girl (older) on our street. So my fears about it being really popular are definitely true. BUT, I don't regret naming her that. It just suits her and it's a lovely name and that's why everyone and their mothers use it. Maybe take a look at your state and see how popular it is before ruling it out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-9#post-2739530 Wed, 24 May 2017 10:36:39 +0000 pinkarmadillo 2739530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Lilah -- Lilah Rose would be nice :happy:<br /> Caroline was our runner up!</p> <p>We also like Molly Kate, and Annabelle </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-9#post-2739529 Wed, 24 May 2017 10:36:14 +0000 Mrs. Blue 2739529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I love Sloane, but DH vetoed. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-9#post-2739528 Wed, 24 May 2017 10:35:06 +0000 Mrs. Blue 2739528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: It was, but we decided we know too many Quinns in our area (I can think of 3 girls and one boy off the top of my head) and it's a lot more popular nationally than I would have thought. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-9#post-2739526 Wed, 24 May 2017 10:34:18 +0000 winniebee 2739526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Caroline (Callie). I only know one caroline (my cousin's daughter) and she's 14! I don't think it's popular - traditional, yes, but not popular!</p> <p>Some less common girl names:</p> <p>Paige<br /> Blythe<br /> Sloane<br /> Louisa<br /> Lylah<br /> Hannah<br /> Amaya<br /> Monica<br /> Maya </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-9#post-2739514 Wed, 24 May 2017 10:13:01 +0000 Rocker2014 2739514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How about Carolina Rose? </p> <p>FWIW, I know two toddler Emmelines and not a single Caroline or any derivative of that name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-9#post-2739510 Wed, 24 May 2017 10:00:36 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2739510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: wasn't Quinn a pretty high contender on the list? It's so cute!</p> <p>For us, if either of our boys had been a girl, it would have been Thea, Evangeline, and/or Adelaide.<br /> I also lean towards a little uncommon but not too out there. </p> <p>Other names we considered:<br /> Lana (my grandmothers name!)<br /> Madeline (tho not a fan of maddy so that was a deterrent)<br /> Gemma<br /> Serena<br /> Tatum </p> <p>Also love Emmaline! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-9#post-2739505 Wed, 24 May 2017 09:46:51 +0000 Pollywog 2739505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For Callie, could you do Callista? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-9#post-2739502 Wed, 24 May 2017 09:42:37 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2739502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: Boo!

I feel like because we started having kids later than most people in our area and I'm the youngest on both sides of our family, a lot of our favorite names have been used by people who are too close to us to repeat. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-9#post-2739498 Wed, 24 May 2017 09:27:17 +0000 Mrs. Blue 2739498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jennlin821: I was guessing that's what you were thinking. As excited as he is for a little sister, sharing his name might be too much. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-9#post-2739497 Wed, 24 May 2017 09:25:23 +0000 youboots 2739497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also- I only know one Caroline- she's 2 and adorable. </p> <p>In my area the names can be rather eclectic- including my DDs name. So I always dig a classic name.</p> <p>What about Cora? </p>
