Name for DD

[MrsPotts18]

We already have two DS's and found picking a name so easy! We like old/classic names and would like to follow this theme for our DD. She's not coming till September so plenty of time but I don't 'love' any names so far.

Shortlist so far...

Blythe (DH fave)
Grace (my fave)

Anyone any ideas?? Prefer one syllable due to an awkward surname (beginning with E)

Blythe is lovely.

Grace is also a nice name but super popular here, there's 3 in DS's class.

How about:
Pearl
Merle
Tess
Belle
Lys
Hope
Nell
Maeve
Rae
Rose
Meg

Helena.
Rose
Flora
Catherine
Jane
Lucy
Sarah
Laura
Hannah
Kate
Victorıa
Elizabeth
Maude
Alice
Daisy
Lydia
Charlotte
Bryony
Alexandra
Mabel
Enid
Edith
Christina.
Rachel
Jessica
Jennifer
Beatrice/Rix

Like both your chosen names but what about

Alice
Jane
Eve
Blanche
Ivy
Ada
Ida
Ines
Jean
Rose
Anne
Beth
Bette
Gwen
Fleur
Liv
Maude
Nell
Paige
Pearl
Olive
Ruth
Tess

Thank you all. A lot of those names we've already considered I loved Ada but it's very similar to DS1 name. Also like Meg but DH thinks it's too close to Meghan and the royal wedding etc.

We have settled on middle name Jean (after my DGM). I think Blythe Jean (surname) sounds lovely when I say it out loud so it may well become my fave too.

Blythe is lovely.

Blythe Harriet?

I quite like Jean as a first name!

Oh sorry ignore me, Jean is a definite mn.

@MrsPotts18 Grace is lovely! I find Blythe a bit to ageing myself.

Blythe.

Brooke

Blythe Jean doesn't sound good in my accent. It all merges and becomes blythjean.

GreatDuck I loved the name Harriet but DH wasn't too keen.

In our accent Blythe Jean sounds quite nice, especially with our surname. The only thing that we were worried was the initials B.J. Prob being quite silly but it was the first thing a teenage relative pointed out and thought it was hilarious

Blythe Jean is gorgeous!

Oh no I definitely wouldn't give the initials bj - my teachers initials were BJO and my did she get some grief for it! x

Don't like Blythe Jean. Sorry!
B J would also put me off

Blythe is nms, very granny-esque. Grace is beautiful on the other hand. I love it in spite of its popularity, such a classic/timeless name. Grace Jean sounds very pretty too.

Some other suggestions:
Charlotte Jean
Mara Jean
Juliet Jean
Elena Jean
Isabelle Jean
Emily Jean
Caroline Jean
Gabrielle Jean
Lily Jean
Penelope Jean

Love Blythe and Grace, but if you want the middle name Jean, you're better off choosing a two syllable first name.

Alice Jean
Lucy Jean
Greta Jean
Clara Jean
Hannah Jean
Sarah Jean
Anna Jean
Catherine Jean (could have nn Kate)
Daphne Jean
Lila Jean / Lily Jean
Polly Jean

Constance
Iris

Why not Blythe grace?

Blythe is lovely - don't think any harder about it!

Timeless, elegant, won't date - what more could you want!

Grace is nice damns with faint praise but it's everywhere. Not special any more, at all.

Blythe is lovely and unusual with good meaning so I'd say go with that .

Thank you all. DH is slightly smug that the MN majority is for Blythe 

@flumpybear Blythe Grace is lovely but we would love to use the middle name Jean after my DGM. This will be her 13th great grandchild and the only grandchild/great grandchild to carry her name. She will be thrilled and she's very special to me.

I do like Lucie but it is very popular in our area. Same with Grace which is maybe why I am hesitant in using the name. Very grateful for everyone's suggestions!

Please not BJ , it does matter.

Jean Blythe is better than BJ. You could still call her Blythe.
I really like Jeanie. Is that an option ?

@Marcipex I thought the same. Especially when she goes to school, kids can be awful with the 'wrong' initials/name etc. Not keen on Jeanie although my gran would love it!

Thankfully we still have 3.5 months to pick a name. Definitely been a lot of lovely suggestions so has given us names to think about. Boys names were so much easier for us!

I think you need Blythe Something Jean to break up the BJ.
