I love classic names! If I had another girl, I may want to name her Abby, or Abigail.
@Pollywog: you just named my entire 1980s elementary school girl crew!
-
@catgirl: love Thea and Jane!
@pollywog: aren't popular in general. But not too off the wall.
@jessemuller88: I like Ellen and Margot!
@ladydi: DH likes Paige. It's growing on me
@agold: Abby is cute!
Names are so hard! It took DH and I forever to name big sis!
-
@winter_wonder: I tried and tried to convince DH about Julia, such a good name!
What about...
Lena
Iris
Lucille
Margeaux
Helen
Cora
Rose

Edith
Margot
Eloise -
@winter_wonder:
Tess
Maeve
Mabel
Ivy
Fern
Wren

So many great names here that were also on my baby name list (we ended up with two boys lol). Also love:
Oona/Una
Natalie
Willa
Sylvie
Elina -
Beatrice (Bea) is probably on my list. We have. Daisy which I clearly love.
-
@karenbme @NCSUchick27: DH suggested we could use Lina/Lena as a NN for Adeline.
@poppygirl15: I like Hazel!
@am110613: I think Sylvie is adorable! DH is less convinced, but I love it.
@macsunshine: Bea is so sweet
What do you all think of Bernadette? I think it's beautiful, but DH thinks it sounds like an 85 year old woman. Any cute NN for this name besides Bernie?
-
@winter_wonder: I love Bernadette! You could do Be (or Bee), Betty (or Bette), Etta, or even Birdie.
-
Re: Julia... my daughter is Juliet!
For some reason these names are making me think of Audrey. Not sure how popular that name is right now.
-
@ElbieKay: Audrey is lovely! It also feels timeless and classic, which i love!
-
@winter_wonder: My daughter’s name is Bernadette! We use Berdie as her NN and my parents call her Bee. I like that it gives her options as she grows, she can stick with Berdie or switch to Bee, Bette, Etta, Bertie, Bernie, Nat or really any B/N/D/T combination and the full name is beautiful when she’s a teenager/adult (obviously, I don’t think it’s an old lady name). And it’s got a great meaning, too.
-
@Mommy Finger: I've always liked Kate for this same reason
-
@karenbme: aww, it means brave! Love that. The NN are so cute too
-
I always like the name Sara. You can name her Seraphina . Her nickname can be Sara of Phina.
-
I have a Kara
Love that it's simple, classic-ish but not super common!
