Favorite girl names?--UPDATE in OP

[BDKmom]

Update--

So, we are leaning toward Paige for the first name. Any suggestions for middle name? The only thing I have thought of so far is Elizabeth. DH didn't say no to it, but don't think he was excited about it, either.

If it helps, our last name starts with K, is two syllables, and ends with "y." (Probably pretty easy to figure out what it is, but a very common name, so not too worried about privacy.)



We just found out on Friday DC#2 is a girl. We have zero ideas in the name department, so I thought y'all could provide some inspiration.

What are you favorite girl names? Maybe your DC's name, or, if you are a DS mom, a girl name you would have used, or maybe something you liked but DH vetoed. All suggestions are appreciated.

For the sake of variety and not biasing your thoughts, I won't tell you what kind of names we tend to like, but our last name is two syllables and ends in -ey, so anything that would rhyme with that (-y, -ey, -ie,-i endings) is pretty much out.

Thanks!

Just randomly listing names I like

Margaret (nickname May)
Samantha
Juliet
Amelia
Catherine (yes, I do like my name. :) )
Sarah
Anne
Grace
Laurel

Catherine

[SnuggleBuggles]

I like classic names. Ds2 would have been Katherine (Kate), Sarah or Elisabeth.

[JoyNChrist]

Well my top two wouldn't work for you - DD is Sadie, and if we ever have another girl she'll likely be Darcy.

Other names that were on our list:
Claire/Clara
Katherine/Kate
Sarah
Abigail
Evelyn

[TwinFoxes]

Amelia
Marin (Mare-in, not Muh-rin)
Gabriela (can't stand "Gaby" or one DD would be named that)
Olivia
Natalie/Nathalia
Camilla
Ileana

I really liked Philippa, but I now think everyone will think Kate Middleton's sister.

I like names that end in "a" clearly! And uncommon but not whacky names.

[lchang25000]

I like Sophia, Ella, Ava, Ellie, Camille, Seraphina, Audrey, amonst many others that aren't too traditional.

[MommytoEliana]

Well, my favorites are my DDs' names: Eliana and Adria. :-)

Other names that were top contenders:

Sophia
Isabella
Clara
Kiera
Elisabeth
Megan
Adriana
Emaline
Victoria
Danae
Cassandra
Rowena
Malia
Makena
Aubrielle
Audrey
Fiona

HTH!

[wellyes]

Get something that doesn't have a -y nickname.

My personal favorites (today) are non-trendy old lady names:
Agnes
Esther
Edith
Pearl
Prudence

[ourbabygirl]

Some are repeats, of course, but these are some of my favorites:

Claire
Katherine (nickname Kate)
Laura
Lauren
Elizabeth
Anna
Susanna
Grace
Rose
Marie

that's all I can think of right now. :)

ETA: How could I forget Alexandra?! That was another one at the top of my list...I also love Alexander for a boy, and using Alex as a nn for either one, but the gender-ambiguity of that and Samantha (another favorite) kind of made it a no-go for me. I also think Josie is cute :-).

[karstmama]

ooh, i'll play since i can't use them!

charlotte, margaret, marae (lots of 'marie's in the family and mama's middle is 'rae'), maire (pronouced 'may-ree', an irish version of 'mary'), everette (family name, nn would be 'eve'), lillian, martha, adelle...

i love names!

[lowrioh]

I'm also a fan of the "old lady" names
Our list included
Anne
Beatrice
Betty
Bess
Alice
Ruth
Helen/Helena
Elizabeth
Pearl
Adele
Della
Margret
Irene
Lucille (not Lucy)

[AnnieW625]

My daughters are Elisa, and Lauren. Audrey is my favorite girl name and Abigail is DH's, but we already knew two Audreys and two Abigails from DD1's playgroup. Other names we liked were:
Christine/a (although DH is Chris and he didn't want that; we chose it for Lauren's middle name)
Genevieve
Jenna/Jena
Jocelyn
Madison
Violet
Victoria (DH lobbied hard for this one, but I just couldn't get into it)
Veronica

A friend once told me she could see me naming my daughter Charlotte, but I am glad we didn't use that name as DH's cousin named their daughter Charlotte two months after we had DD2.

I am an Anne, but have gone by Annie my entire life.

[momof2girls]

Whitney
Juliet (dds name)
Natalia
Victoria
Kendall

[curiousgeorge]

Lots of good ideas already...one I love and haven't seen mentioned yet is Sloan.

[meggswife]

Our two daughters are Mariah Elizabeth and Janae Yvonne (Jah-Nay). :)

[Mopey]

I like less common names, though the one I am considering if this is a girl is fairly straightforward. One of my very faves that the hubby has kind of vetoed (and also would not sound very good with our last name) is Hero. I love Shakespeare, and she was also one of Aphrodite's high priestesses :)

And hooray for old fashioned!! I love Prudence! Great song :)

Yes, Hero from Much Ado About Nothing, right?

[Mopey]

Yes :)

I really wish it sounded better with my last name!

[maestramommy]

Congratulations!

Check out my girls' names. In addition, Audrey is a name that was always on our short list. I think the reason we never went with it is because it was too popular. Eleanor is another one. One of my friends named her DD Phoebe Eleanor and I think both names are lovely. But Dh said Phoebe reminds him too much of Phoebe Cates:p Whatever.

[lhafer]

I can't believe other people like Hero! I've liked that name for ages. :) DH vetoed it pretty quickly though.

[MamaMolly]

Also: Millicent. I love the way my mouth feels when I say Millicent. Say it out loud. See?

[ilfaith]

Caroline
Susannah
Audrey

[brittone2]

Here's what I remember from our short list with DD 5 years ago:

Margot
Margaret/Meg
Vivien (I regret not using this as DD is very much a Vivien personality)
Ella
Nora
Charlotte
Catherine/Kate
Paige
Ivy

I also like Beatrice but that didn't work with the rest of the name. I also like Evelyn (Evie) but couldn't use it. Ditto Lillian/Lily. DS1 was almost an Olivia or Isabella if he had been a girl (they weren't *quite* so popular back then).

Fleur
Olivie
Danielle
Lucy

Others on our list:

Olivia (DH vetoed based on popularity)
Samantha (I vetoed because I know a samantha who I'm not particularly fond of)
Caroline (we both loved this name)
Marabel (nn Mara; I liked this name, DH didn't)

We had a REALLY short list as you can see...we really had trouble choosing girls' names!!

Oh, I like Mara.. interesting name. Maybe I like it because it resembles two of my other choices very closely (see my list above) :)

[FTMLuc]

Congratulations!

Anna or Anja
Angelique
Beatrice
Catherine
Ivanka or Joanna - same name in different languages, love both ways of saying/spelling
Eleonore

Lauren
Lida (pronounce Lee-da)

[artvandalay]

Congratulations!

Oh, I like that, too! I just remembered Helene was on our list of names. DH wasn't on board but I thought it was a beautiful name.

[dec756]

i really like laurel :)

[dec756]

Lilia--our friends dc name!~

[llama8]

My 2 DD's are named : Shannon and Caitlin

[babychi]

Our daughter's name is Maren and we love it! I've seen it on a few lists so far. :) We are expecting our second child next summer, and here is our short list:

Elle
Lydia
Elena
Adele
Elise
Adeline

[BabyBearsMom]

I like more old fashioned girl names. My list is:

Charlotte
Eleanor
Evelyn
Fiona
Lillian
Penelope

[sste]

Well, for DD it came down to Clara, Charlotte, Eliza or Maeve (DH didn't like Maeve). I am now very taken with the Wren suggestion that come up in another post if we have another DD some day.

I would also add to the many lovely suggestions above Iris and Isla.

[amldaley]

Since we have already decided and announced DD2's name and this will be our last little one, I am so happy to share a list of names we considered with both DD's!

Mathilda - my first choice (NN Tilly)
Maeve
Claire
Annelli (but not with your last!)
Anika
Aniela (Polish for Angela, pronounced On-Yell-Ah)
Danika
Kalena (Both Haiwaiian & Slavic, means flower)
Liberty (not with your last)
Rowen
Camilla
Idalia (Id-Doll-Ya - My Polish Great Grandmothers Name)
Magdalena
Magdalene (Maggie and Dolly are such a cute NN's!)
Cosette (French, great Les Mis reference, means "little thing")
Collette
Carolina (pronounced like the state)
Penelope (Penny for NN)

Whatever you choose - I hope you find a name you LOVE and many congrats in your new girly addition!

[MommyAllison]

Here are some of our favorites, including our DDs names and some of our nieces names

Maeve
Adelaide
Isabelle
Evelyn
Jane
Paige
Liesel
Annika
Kate
Eleanor

Our last name is also two syllables ending in -ey, but added to that, it starts with a short A sound. Soooo many girl names end in a short A sound (look at the most popular girl names - Ava, Ella, Olivia, Isabella, Sophia, Emma, Mia, etc) and we can't use them because it just runs together with our last name - so I can sympathize. :) Have fun choosing!

[BabyDahl]

Two names I really like that DH vetoed were Kensington and Kennedy. I also like Tatiana, Giselle and Svetlana. Good luck choosing and congrats :)

[jbowman]

More traditional names (including my two DDs' names):
Stephanie (nn Stevie)
Laura
Nancy
Julie
Alice
Margaret
Elizabeth (nn Ellie)
Suzanne
Jane

and two less-traditional names that I love:
Ilaria
Scotia (as in Nova)

[kdeunc]

I have quite a few that I really liked that won't be used so here they are. It is funny because this list started before DS1 was born in 2002 and some of the names were really unusual and now they are super popular.

DD is Erin

Kathryn
Lilian
Maeve (DH wouldn't go for this one)
Harper
Bennett
Barrett
Wren
Claire
Merritt
Anna
Grace
Emerson
Kendall
Kinley
Tinley
Paige
Layne/Delaney
Carlisle
Lila
Addison
Callie
Greyson
Camille
Darby
Nora
Colleen
Ellis

So are any of the names the pp's have suggested striking a cord with you??? Very interested to know!

[BDKmom]

So are any of the names the pp's have suggested striking a cord with you??? Very interested to know!

Some...some of the ones that are repeated on many of your lists are already names of family members...we have nieces Audrey, Camilla and Meredith. Very interesting to me that a lot of people have listed Maren/Marin, and I have never heard that name before. Of course I mention it to DH, and he turns his nose up, so no help. I tend to lean more towards traditional, but a lot of those are especially popular right now, and I prefer something slightly less common. I would like it to be something people have heard of, but not have 5 in her class, IYKWIM.

My plan is to make a list of the ones that stand out and go over those with DH. We are taking a 12 hour car trip, leaving tomorrow, so I'm sure we will have time to discuss then.

I am so appreciative of everyone's input. I will definitely keep you posted!

And keep the names coming!

[trales]

We named DD Frances. I love it.

[mmommy]

Our 3 on our short list for DD were:
Amalia
Uta
Nora

If I'm carrying another girl we'll probably pick one of the two we didn't already use :)

[Corie]

I like quite a few names on your list. I absolutely love unisex names
for girls!

[artvandalay]

You said you would like something less common- what about Wren? It's been mentioned here already and it was discussed in a another recent thread. I think it's a very unique and feminine name.

[Ms B]

Too fun!

Before DS came the top contender was Margaux, but we had middle name dilemma. I wanted to use Mirelle (MIR-ay), which is the French version of Miriam and to call her Mimi (one of my fave nicknames). DH thought that was too French. At any rate, I have bequeathed Margaux to the potential future SIL -- turns out it is one of her top three!!!

That said, other faves:

Helen (great-grandmother's name)/Helena/Helene (ay-LAIN, accents over both "e"s)
Corinne/Corinna
Gisele
Manon
Camille
Josee (Jhoz-AY, accent over the first "e") (can you tell I like Francophile names?!)
Phillippa (after the character in the Anne of Green Gables books, not the sister to Kate Middleton)
Diana (again, after the Anne of Green Gables character -- I loved those books!)
Rosalind (after the Shakespeare character)
Marguerite (after the author, Marguerite Henry)
Elyse/Alice/Alyce/Alicia (ah-LYS-i-ah, not uh-LISH-uh)/Allison (my best friend growing up) -- I especially liked Elyse, but Margaux is a wine region and Elyse is a well known wine label, and DH is a wine guy, so a "double wine" name was not an option

Good luck picking! After literally years of discussion (we were married over eleven years before DS arrived and were together over five years before that), DH and I did not have a girl's name picked as of our due date . . . DS coming made it easy because we had a boy's name picked within days of our first discussion about baby names years ago.

[KpbS]

Our favorites (most have been mentioned already)

Eleanor
Jane
Claire
Frances
Adele
Caroline
Helen
Isla
Molly
Beatrice
Millicent

Margaux

[rlmomto5]

Of course my favorites are my girls names:

Kensley
Katheryn
Sara Abigail

My 2 granddaughters are:

Elle (pronounced Ellie) Harper
Ava Grace

[kmm]

Kennedy
Alexis
Danika
Mikayla
Ashlyn
Taryn

[nfceagles]

My first choice for DD, vetoed by DH, was Margaret (Maggie), but I'm very happy with what we named her, Nora. I'm also surprised how many times I saw it on this thread. I like classic names that everyone's heard of, but that you don't see very often.

I do like Maren/Marin, never heard of it before this thread.

[smilequeen]

My girl name was Cecelia.

I also like
Georgia
Lily
Lila
Nora
Lydia
Eva

[Roleysmom]

I love that DD2's name - Beatrice - is on many of the lists. I love her name. I also love Wren that people have mentioned. So delicate and interesting but not so different as to stick out in a bad way. Other favorites (admittedly some of these are wagon train names but I love them):

Julia
Juliet
Evelyn
Eleanor
Lula
Etta
Willa
Hazel
Maren
Penelope (almost DD2's name)
Bettina
Annabelle
Opal
Cora
Violet
Lauren

[swissair81]

My baby's given name is the yiddish version of Pearl, and she is called by a diminutive of that. Of my other daughters names, some version of one of them has been suggested already, and the other is not pronounceable in English.

Another name we have in our back pockets is my grandmother's name (Hungarian). It is spelled Sara, but pronounced Shah-ri.

[AJP]

Natalia
Markella
Vivienne
Katerina

[klwa]

Marian/Marion/Miriam

Also Lydia.

[DietCokeLover]

Anna
Francesca
Laurel
Mallory
Katherine
Janelle
Lonna
Piper
Hallie
Elisabeth

[amandabea]

I love many of the names already mentioned, but my faves are

Alexis
Caitlyn/Katelin
Aubrey
Evangeline (nn Evie)
Erika (DD once asked me why we didn't name her Erika bc she thought I wa the prettiest name)
Julia
Lauren
Claire

[Momit]

This is fun since we have a DS so we never got to do a girl name
Lauren
Elizabeth
Amelie or Amelia
Emily
Rowan
Carys
Natalie or Natalia
Julia
Caroline
Charlotte

[gatorsmom]

I like very traditional names. DH likes very unusual, made-up names so we had a hard time picking out names for our kids. But we both agreed we love our daughter's name, Siena. She is named for the city in Italy where we were married. :love5:

Some of my favorite names are:
Augusta
Claudia
Olga
Helena
Elaine
Clara
Lynnea (pronounced Lynn-AY-ah)
Judith (I think Judy is darling for a little girl)
Clementine (I knew a little French girl named this. She was darling)
Eva
Laura
Gianna- the name of my favorite saint

[indigo99]

I wanted (still do although I'm not having more kids) a Hattie or Mattie although we probably would have gone with Madeline and used Maddie.
Savannah is great too.

[WitMom]

So many great names already listed! A few more to consider:
-Gemma
-Arabella (I love, love, love this name)
-Greta/Gretel
-Liesel (another long time favorite of mine)

[momof2girls]

Of course my favorites are my girls names:

Kensley
Katheryn
Sara Abigail

My 2 granddaughters are:

Elle (pronounced Ellie) Harper
Ava Grace

Oh I know an Ava Grace (in NJ so I doubt it is your Granddaughter)

[momtoonegirl]

Mary
Ruth
Sara
Elizabeth
Rose
Anne/Anna
Jane
Emily
Amelia

[vdrake71]

Lillian
Vivian
Eliza
Veronica

[indigo99]

BTW, my first and maiden name are both two syllable and end in y. My son's first and last name are both two syllable and end in -en. They even start with the same letter so... I obviously wouldn't rule out names that end in the same sound, especially for a girl.

[lmintzer]

I have always liked the name Gabrielle. I also like Gabriella with Ella as a nickname.

[Green_Tea]

Maeve
Frances (nn: Francie)
Anne
Nina
Beth
Caroline
Julianne
Marin
Natalie
Sarah
Jane
Lucy
Lily
Kate
Louisa

[vonfirmath]

[buddyleebaby]

My two girls are Abigail and Evelyn.

Other girls names we liked:
Gracelin (Grace for short)
Lucia
Katelyn
Elizabeth
Alice
Anne
Layla
Michaela
Bethany
Mary

[LexyLou]

I have always liked the name Gabrielle. I also like Gabriella with Ella as a nickname.

That's my dd1's name...Gabriella, nickname Ella. :)

DD2 is Sofia.

I was realy pushing for Amelia but DH wouldn't allow it.


I also like:

Mia
Maya
Abigail
Etta
Isabella (nickname Iszy)
Lilliana

[fivi2]

Sylvia
Sabine
Cecily
Violet
Arden
Magnolia
Louise/Louisa
Gwen/Gwendolyn/etc
Linden
Laurel

[PAfirsttimemom]

When we were having DS1, I liked the name Emma, because it is classic and also a name on my mom's side of the family. When pregnant with DS2, I liked Isabelle, with a nickname of Izzy.

[BDKmom]

Bumping. See update in OP.

[boolady]

DD has a friend whose name is Paige Caroline.

[SkyrMommy]

Paige Alexandra, sounds very regal.

[DietCokeLover]

My cousin's daughter is Paige Allen, which I love.

[brittone2]

Paige Elizabeth was on our list for DD (Elizabeth is a family name so it would have had some significance to us).

Paige Caroline?

Paige Meredith? Paige Marion?

Paige Louise?

I'd probably prefer a 2 or 3 syllable MN with it.

[BDKmom]

I'd probably prefer a 2 or 3 syllable MN with it.

I definitely think Paige needs something more substantial as a MN.

[amldaley]

Paige...

Allette
Annette
Ashleen (Aisling)
Amara
Collette
Colleen
Devon
Elaine
Josephine (PJ is a cute nickname!)
Juliette (same nn as above)

[Green_Tea]

Paige Elise K***y.

I love the name Paige!

[artvandalay]

I definitely think Paige needs something more substantial as a MN.

I agree.

How about Paige Catherine K*****y?

ETA: Ooh, Paige Josephine as PP suggested is very pretty! PJ... cute!!

[sweet_pea]

Paige...

Amelia
Angelica
Natalia
Rebecca
Georgianna
Justine/Justina
Olivia
Marie
Mikaela
Elaine
Magnolia
Meredith
Virginia
Lucia
Francesca
Fiona
Aurelia
Antonia

[AnnieW625]

Honestly Paige seems to me to be one of those names that doesn't really need a middle name. I might do your first name or maiden name instead of something random.

Paige Nichole (or Nicole)
Paige Carlin (I actually kind of like the sound of Carlin Paige a little better)
Paige Marie

What helped me was physically writing out the name. A name could look great on a screen or a book but once I wrote it down I either loved it or hated it.

[TwinFoxes]

I like Paige Elizabeth. If DH is not into that, Paige Evelyn?

[ourbabygirl]

Lots of pretty names with Paige! My niece is Paige Marie, which I think is cute and classy. :)

[mom3boys]

For Paige, I would def go with a 2 or 3 syllable middle name.

Here are names we considered (for middle or first, we never got there since we had all boys)--we actually had a 1 syllable first name picked out so were leaning towards longer middle names.


Elizabeth (family name)
Annabeth
Madeleine
Emmeline/Emmaline
Emily
Adeline
Caroline
Isabel
Juliet
Alexa or Alexandra
Josephine
Amanda
Gabrielle
Brielle
Colette
Briony (pronounced "BREE-oh-ny")
Kendall (prob not since your lname start w/K though)



And 3 names I kinda like but would never have had the guts to name my child even if I had a girl:
Clementine
Bronwyn
Paloma
