Well I cant have anymore but the 4 names we didn't use for our 4 were

Illona
Karenza
Seraphina
Millicent

Likely Marie for middlename after my grandma or perhaps Patricia after mil.

I still like all the names but feel we picked right for our 4

My and my three DDs names are all listed in this thread. It’s nice to know we chose pretty timeless names for them (we’re all over 25! 😁).
All three girls have three names, so we kind of ran out of ideas, but I think if I was to have another today she might be called Alicia (al iss ia, not alisha) or Ailsa.. or possibly Juliet.. or maybe Isla…

Antigone - nickname Annie (husband is Greek)

If it didn’t have to have Greek vibes, then I love Joan. Also have a soft spot for Shirley.

My real children don’t have middle names so my imaginary daughter won’t either!

And I'd imagined calling my Catherine Kate

blackpear · 06/05/2026 22:38

Catherine Lucy Jane
Emily Victoria

KLD89 · 06/05/2026 22:37

Stevie, Cory, Cameron, Rae or Ryan
(I love gender-neutral names best when they’re played into the sex that are less likely to be named them. Like I know a boy called Pip and a man called Kim)

Thank you. She was 98, the last of all my greats and my grandmothers little sister, a truly lovely lady.
