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

Harper Wren

Nellie Grace (but I'd hyphenate it into one longer name) or if not Harper Wren. Both are pretty 🙂

I like Lilah Grace the most
Then Harper Wren and then Harper Nellie

Anneleise is nice as a formal name. You can call her Nellie when she is little and she can decide when she is older.

Thanks everyone x

I love Harper Wren

This is my partners favourite x

This is what my partner said she can be Nellie, Nel, Annie or Anna aswell as Anneleise

Lilah Grace
Harper Wren

are my favourites. I know an adult Lilah and it is such a nice name and not very common

@J3110 , If you think the name and surname are ok together, then use it.
Grace is very overused as a middle name. A famous Nelle was named after her Grandmothe Ellen (spelling reversed). If you google Nelle Harper you might get why I suggested Jean Louise as middle names.

Nellie-Grace will get called Nellie not Nellie-Grace.

Could I throw in wilcard names that I think you might like?
Kitty or Petronella nn Nellie

Eleanor Grace nn Nellie

Nellie is just not fair as a full name, in case she has a chubby patch, but also w your surname it’s a comedy name - also not fair
Harper is a bit faddy and low rent
Lylah is also faddy (and a bit stripper IMO)

Honestly, call her Nellie. It's what you want judging by your posts, it's a pretty name, it's what she is already called in your head and who gives a stuff what a bunch of strangers on the internet say. Don't stress about it anymore, just enjoy these early days with baby Nellie, she can easily go by Nell or a middle name if she wishes when she is older.

Yes - this is nice - go for this

Thanks for your opinion.. I don't know any Lilahs or Harpers. Lilah is on the list as my partner likes Delilah but I wasn't keen x

Thank you 😊 Nellie wasn't on the list until she was born and we thought she suited it. Tbh we were in a bubble and didn't even consider the alliteration with the surname 😣

I think they are all lovely op. It's your baby so as long as you love it that's all that matters as you'll never get a name everyone likes.

I had to rule out loads of names because of my surname too so I understand it sucks! Nellie would be a lovely middle name if you don't like any of the longer versions. My son has a middle name which means a lot to me and I love knowing it's part of his full name even if not used often.

Pick a first name you love as you'll use it all the time. Harper and Grace are beautiful and will flow with Nellie in the middle IMO.

Good luck x

Thank you so much hun x

Thinking of a formal name which can be shortened to Nellie, do you like Jonelle, or Janelle?

I love Harper Wren and Lyla Grace.
If Nellie is a friend or family name, then go ahead and use it if it has meaning for you. It's not any of our choices. She can always choose to be called Nell as she gets older if she prefers. Don't stress about what others like, we are just people on the internet!

Harper wren is a bit tongue twister for me

Hate hate hate Grace, Rose and May as middle names as they have been done to death. But out of your list Harper Wren is the best. Instead of Nellie what about Nell?

Your other suggestions of Anneleise or Anneli (unsure of spellings) are really pretty imo. You can get in there first with your chosen nickname of Nellie, and then, does it matter if later on people at school call her Anna or Annie. Besides, it would be nice for her to have options.

Or you could just name her Nell, like a pp suggested, or Nella.

Nellie is beautiful. I know a little Nellie and never thought anything other than how lovely her name is! Stick with your gut! You could
go with Nell or Penelope or Eleanor but just always use Nellie.

Penelope?

And nickname her Nellie?

You'll never please everyone! DD2 is Grace and I've had lots of comments from 'boring' to 'unusual'

If you love it then just go for it, life's too short.

Nellie/Nel is lovely, please use it if it’s your favourite. People can come up with silly rhymes or associations for everything if they try! The alliteration is fine too.

Just do Grace as a middle name though, not a hyphen, it’s just nicer!
