Hellobee Boards

@GrapeCrush: Oooh that's great to know. Thanks for chiming in.

@oliviaoblivia: Be still my heart, that is so cute that she said that. That would make me okay with it, too. Oh, your daughters are SO sweet and make me want another one so M can have a sister! I do like Sloane with our sibling set. I don't think DH loves it, though. He likes the "o" sound at the the end of M's name and how it softens it up. I think he thinks Sloane is a little bit masculine. I don't see it at all. He likes girlier names. He suggested Mirabelle last time. And Daphne.

@magnolia: I'm going to read each and every suggestion to DH after the kids are down tonight so we can start making a list!

@Ra: Dang! You have good taste, lady! All but three of those names are ones I have considered at some point during these baby making years...I need to revisit! Especially like the Greer mention - such a classic name no one uses!

Bumping this because we found out baby is indeed a girl! Any and all ideas welcome we're still debating!

@Boogs: I still like Quinn, too, it's just not jumping out to me as the one but that could change. At the ultrasound today I was really struggling and knew while looking at her that naming would not come easily this this time! Usually at the ultrasound something just stands out but nothing did this time! Eeek. Now I feel lucky naming our first two was so painless.

@AprilFool: I love Greer but couldn't use it because of our last name - it becomes too mushy.

@Mrs. Champagne: Sutton is such a boy name to me but I will ponder it.

@Miss Sarah: I like Adelaide but it's a departure from my usual tastes. Addy made me think of it.

I do think Willa is a front runner right now because it's the only name DH has suggested this go around and it's also a name of an author and our other two have author inspired last name type names - DH is the English need. I like it but am not entirely sold. Pondering!

So, update. We're thinking of using the middle name Annalee - thoughts? It's too honor two relatives who have passed this last year - my grandmother, whose middle name was Ann, and DH's grandfather whose name was Lee.

BUT, that means the first name needs to sound good with it. Thoughts about which names sound good with Annalee?

@avivoca: That's what I'm thinking. I made DH go through this thread the other night and the only one he liked is Sloane and I'm wondering if that goes - Sloane Annalee? Blake Annalee is cute too.

@T.H.O.U.: I actually prefer names that mirror a bit like that. My daughter has a similar feel.
