Curious to hear opinions..

[J3110]

Opinions on baby girl first and middle name combinations after lots of hate on the name we did chose.. please be kind 😊

Harper Wren
Harper Nellie
Nellie Grace
Nellie Harper
Lilah/Lylah Grace

Sisters names are
Evie Sophia
Maddison Rose

Lyla Grace
Harper Grace and Harper Wren would be my favourites.
I'd also suggest that Grace would make a nice first name and would go with Evie and Maddison well.

none of them are particularly my style but I think Harper Wren or Harper Grace flow best and go with your other names.

Lilah Grace is the nicest by miles, and this spelling looks nicest written down.

Harper is too Beckham and sounds like Harpic.

Nellie.. the elephant? OK as a nickname for Helen(a), Eleanor or Penelope, not great as a stand-alone name.

I think Nellie might not work as well as Harper or Lilah when your daughter hits that awkward teenager phase and is going through various physical changes. I know Nellie the elephant is an old reference but it is still known.

I'd pick Harper because it is more unusual than Lilah.

So either Harper Nellie or Harper Wren.

I had my heart set on using Nellie somehow as it has a lot of meaning to me. I'm considering Harper Nellie but also considering a formal version for Nellie so I can still call her Nellie but the only ones I don't particularly hate are Anneleise and Anneli but then ky partner said she would probably be named Anna/Annie

I didn't even know what Nellie the elephant was until very recently so I really don't think that will be an issue.. harpic never crossed my mind until now 😫

I do like Grace but I do prefer names that aren't too common. Evie and Maddison I know are fairly common but I personally don't know any but know a few Grace's, however my partner also likes Gracie as a name x

Harper Wren and Nellie Grace are my favorites - although they are all lovely.

Soo originally we were going to go with Nellie Grace however didn't even cross my mind that the surname is also an N name and been told the alliteration is too much and sounds awful 😬

Harper Wren - two surnames
Harper Nellie - Nell is nice. Not keen on Nellie. Harper too surnamey
Nellie Grace - Grace is so boring as a middle name
Nellie Harper - Is your surname Lee?
Lilah/Lylah Grace - horrible. Every other Lila will be Lila Grace.

Am I right in thinking that she will have a step-sibling called Ellen?
Call her Nell nn Nellie or Nellie Jean Louise

Also have Considered Nellie-Grace so that she has the option as she grows up to chose if she wasn't too keen on Nellie or did get mean comments about it. I know hyphenated names are a subject that has a lot of different opinions though 😬 also babies these days called Sunday, Lavender, bluebell, tiger etc so I am also thinking Nellie wouldn't be too out there by the time she goes to school and also has the option of Nell when she's older too x

Lilah Grace has a lovely flow.
Maybe Lilah Nell?
I don’t dislike Harper, I just think when celebrities as well known as the Beckhams use a name it just becomes very dated and associated with them.

Very twee not sure why you got soo much stick for them. I think harper is lovely

Surname isn't Lee no 🤔
Grace is after a family member which is why it is an option for a middle name. My partners mums middle name is Jean but not, Nellie Jean makes me sing Billie Jean in my head 😂 step sister who is 21 is called Ellen yes, however has never been known as anything else and we didn't even know that it could be shortened to Nellie before coming onto mumsnet 😬

You sound like your fondest of Nellie so go for that. Ultimately, an opinion of others matters very little. As long as a name and the initials are not offensive or embarrassing then you can't go too wrong anyway.

Are you the poster that was set on Nellie Nevitt?

I don't think Nellie Grace Nevitt is much better to be honest.

However, you do seem really set on it and say you love it. Remember that everybody on here is a stranger. Nobody on here will ever meet your child, you have to choose what you love.

In saying that, I do think the advice you got to give a more formal version of Nellie, and use that as a nickname, was good advice.

Helen Nevitt, Eleanor Nevitt are both nice.

Thank you. That's why I started a new thread to hopefully get some kinder opinions lol x

I don't like any of them.
That is not to be unkind. That is because you asked our opinion.

I don't think the opinions are going to mean very much without knowing that the surname will be Nevitt....

Yes I did refrain from using the surname on this thread after I received a comment informing me that if someone searches Google it will come up with this thread 😬 I was set on Nellie for personal reasons but now I received so much hate I have spent days crying and doubting whether my child is going to resent me as I was told so much how ridiculous it sounds. Nellie Grace was the original name on the previous thread.

I don't particularly like the more formal names other than Anneleise and Anneli as they aren't very common from where I am from however my partner said she will likely just get called Anna/Annie x

I refrained from posting it due to being informed it will be online forever on Google search hence it was deleted for breech of guidlines but hey ho thanks for that 😬

Thank you. It's not the difference of opinion that had been unkind previously. Just horrid comments in general

I'm not sure what you mean by google.

But I can see that you are upset. And I can understand why. You love a name and unfortunately it's not great with your surname.

I also love the name Nellie. But I adore the name Helen and I like both Nell and Nellie as nicknames.

Personally, I wouldn't use Nellie if my surname was Nevitt. I would use a more formal name, such as Helen Nevitt, and if she wanted to be Nellie Nevitt to her friends, in an affectionate way, great. But as a stand-alone name I do agree with poster on previous thread who said it sounds a bit like the villains sidekick in a childrens book.

I am sorry you are so upset about it.

But I don't think this thread will do you any good. You are just going to get some people saying they like Nellie and some saying they don't. But that's not really the issue, the issue is them surname.

When is your baby due? You have a shortlist, why not just take the pressure off until she arrives. I feel hypothetical names are suddenly very different once the baby is actually here.

Harper or Lilah

Thank you.. this thread was intended to help with other options that both myself and partner like.. Its unfortunate I can't change the surname 😂

The reason I was so upset was more by the comments that were just absolutely rude and completely inconsiderate.

Also baby is 11 days old already
