So, we did spend the last few months of pregnancy struggling and failing to come up with a girl's name, but since we felt pretty convinced that it was boy anyway, and had a boy's name we loved, I wasn't too worried... then our little surprise girl arrived!
Now in the haze of sleep deprivation, we're beginning to panic. Everything sounds wrong, nothing seems right. Help, please?
The boy's name we had in mind was Bram, and we already have a DD named Juniper, just to give you a sense for what orbit we're in. We'd like a longer name with nickname option.
Some names we've considered but blocked on (with apologies in advance for stepping on people's toes with my comments).
Cleo, short for Cleopatra or Clementine-
every time I try it out, I mix it up with Chloe in my mind..also, fear it's becoming very popular
Saskia, with the nickname Kia -
just doesn't seem to fit baby somehow (in looks)
Twyla (as in Twlya Tharpe)
Willa, nickname Billie
I'm not crazy about the W sound, DH likes it, but worries about playground
'Willie' teasing potential...possibly Sybil/Billie
Indigo, with nickname Indie/ or Indira/Indie
A little too hippy-ish for me
Ivy
Doesn't sound great with surname, seems a little too breezy and short to me for an adult woman
other names that have come up in the past-- Linden, Pascale, Petra, Eliza
I'd love to hear any thoughts people have about these but also any ideas you have based on what we've been thinking...I'm hoping something here will help job my brain into action!
