We could try to be strategic about the nicknames! Haha. Also we have tons of Williams in our family and I tried so hard to get DH on board with Willa, but he just didn't love it. I hope you get to use it!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please/page/2#post-1951102 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 15:56:41 +0000 loki 1951102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: totally. what about classic like Elizabeth? but then you have the nickname issues.<br /> My favourite right now is Willa and my husband's is Gemma. I also really loved Alice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please/page/2#post-1951084 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 15:50:30 +0000 mfa_lady 1951084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loki: I love that, but our last name is one syllable, too....which I think is a little much. Know what I mean? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please/page/2#post-1951080 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 15:47:43 +0000 loki 1951080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: haha boooo! (i'm pregnant with a girl too and we are struggling with names)</p> <p>ETA: another we LOVE but ruled out because it rhymes with my husband's name is Maeve. Maeve Claire would be pretty and you could honour BOTH family members. not sure if it's your style though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please/page/2#post-1951079 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 15:47:40 +0000 mfa_lady 1951079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: Thanks, lady! Love these. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please/page/2#post-1951078 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 15:46:49 +0000 mfa_lady 1951078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loki: I can't post them! Haha. My DH would kill me because we're not telling anyone IRL what they are, and if I was found out somehow on the Bee he'd never forgive me. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please/page/2#post-1951077 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 15:46:30 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1951077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: hmmm!</p> <p>Magnolia Claire<br /> Fiona Mae<br /> Ruby Mae or ruby Claire </p> <p>I'll keep thinking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please/page/2#post-1951073 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 15:44:51 +0000 loki 1951073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: that is exactly why i can't use it! so i get that. what are the new names on your list? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please#post-1951071 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 15:43:50 +0000 mfa_lady 1951071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loki: I like Caroline, too! My cousin and his wife considered it briefly for their DD, but it left the running pretty early on...so that's fair game, right? My main concern is her becoming "Carrie"--just because we know a TON of Carries. Haha. But I guess that's my job to keep her "Caroline," right? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please#post-1951070 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 15:42:12 +0000 loki 1951070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not sure if anyone has suggested it but I feel like you might like Caroline based on Josephine... i LOVE caroline but can't use it so you should! Caroline Mae would be beautiful!!!</p> <p>ETA: ah just scrolled up and saw you had family considering Caroline. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please#post-1951067 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 15:41:26 +0000 mfa_lady 1951067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Radish: That's so encouraging! I mean, I do love the names we've thought of...but it's like, THIS IS MY BABY. AND IT'S HER NAME FOREVER. That's a lot of pressure. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please#post-1951065 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 15:40:21 +0000 Radish 1951065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: I can totally relate to the no name feels like HER name. I felt that way with DD1 as well, but they really do grow into their name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please#post-1951017 Wed, 19 Nov 2014 15:12:00 +0000 mfa_lady 1951017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumping this for fun...as suspected, the babe IS a girl, and now at 33 weeks we've come up with another name or two that we both like, but I'm not convinced yet that anything we have is going to be HER name. Any more suggestions? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please#post-1727780 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 15:33:27 +0000 mfa_lady 1727780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pmrlady: Love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please#post-1727314 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 13:06:11 +0000 pmrlady 1727314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How about Sophie claire? or Sophia Mae? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please#post-1727283 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 12:52:50 +0000 mfa_lady 1727283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: True! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please#post-1727282 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 12:52:17 +0000 mfa_lady 1727282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@IRunForFun: Ack, I like Clara Mae too--but my cousin and his wife (more like a brother and SIL to us) are considering Clara (also a family name for us) or Caroline for their baby girl on the way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please#post-1727281 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 12:51:57 +0000 swedishfish 1727281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: Ginny is an adorable nickname for Virginia though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please#post-1727278 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 12:51:24 +0000 mfa_lady 1727278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: LOVE Louisa. That's a family name, too! I also suggested Georgia to DH...he said "Georgia's cool....but Virginia's better." Ha! We've both lived in Virginia all of our lives but I'm not crazy about it as a name. Anyway, love these suggestions. Thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please#post-1727277 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 12:51:20 +0000 IRunForFun 1727277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think Clara Mae is adorable! Sort of similar to Claire... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please#post-1727275 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 12:49:22 +0000 swedishfish 1727275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Louisa, Genevieve, Beatrice, Georgia </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please#post-1727265 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 12:46:47 +0000 mfa_lady 1727265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: Oh and maybe if it's a boy, we can just name him ScottFoley Middlename Lastname. Thoughts?! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please#post-1727263 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 12:45:47 +0000 mfa_lady 1727263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@namaste: We're lucky in the boy name department...we have a loads of good family names! I THOUGHT we had great family names for gals, too...but DH isn't so sure. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please#post-1727257 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 12:44:21 +0000 namaste 1727257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: True but you guys are synced for boy names. ;) we have no boy names and one girl name. It rakes me forever just to name a new computer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please#post-1727252 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 12:42:46 +0000 mfa_lady 1727252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@namaste: I appreciate the vote of confidence! Maybe I can talk him into it. I have six months to work on it! :) (And there is the part where it may be moot since a 12 week scan isn't even that reliable...haha!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-help-please#post-1727248 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 12:40:15 +0000 namaste 1727248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Josephine Claire actually :P.
