Name that baby!

[Cherie]

Hi everyone!. My daughter is about to give birth to a baby girl. It seems that your perfectly nice names are not unique enough for today's parents. Does anyone have a suggestion that I can pass along to her and her husband??

Don't anyone tell her I posted this here....... Haha!

[Toy Poodles]

my last child turned out to be a boy but if he had been a girl I would of called her Denee pronounced like Renee. 

My grandchild's name is Caden and that name and all that rhymes with it has been overdone in the last 10yrs. 

I see that many people are going back to older names like Violet.

You might want to ask more specifics about what the new parents are looking for. 

[Cherie]

Ooh I like Denee!

Caden is lovely too. Thank you!

 How about a Biblical name?? How about Shiphrah or Puah?? These are the names that Jehovah aloud in his word. Exodus 1:15

I always thought "Darla" from the little rascals was cute.  I like Tessa too (I have no children but of often thought of names).  Please do your grandchild a BIG favor and give her a name she won't have to spell to everyone she meets!  I have one of those names and I hate having to spell it all the time and most of the time people still don't get it right.  I long for something simple like Ann, Jane or Sue!  I noticed it's a trend now to name girls "Harper" as well (that's my maiden name, so this surprises me).

If I had had a daughter she was going to be Nyla. I like Adina and Sadie also.

Congrats Shari!

Solange !

Congrats to you Shari on your new precious grand bundle! I love Autumn or Ariella or Francina or Alexia I especially love Anastasia...I don't think she did too well though

Cadence    Hmm, or a Bible name like Hepzibah.    I prefer Cadence

Darla Hood! Alfalfa's crush. There's an echo, yoo hoo. I wish I used Alfalfa's "I'll be loving you (double Oh, double OH) for my wedding song, but I did not catch that hubby would never acquiesce to any of my predilections. Spanky and our Gang represented a simpler, but not perfect, time. I have to spell my last name (married name) to everyone.

My sister-in-law's first name is Faith. She actually goes by her middle name, Joy.

 

I have come across these names that are not too common:

 

Lettice

Hyacinth

Ambrosia

 

and we have a daughter named Melodie

[Tortuga]

  I prefer Cadence 

That's a very musical name.

[ReadYourBible]

My daughters name is Bethany. My grans name is Faith.

[Fiona]

My eldest daughter is Faith. And youngest is Eden

[cricket246]

Brielle, Ohava, or Lauribelle (Lar-uh-bell.)

[kejedo]

Felicity

[Qapla]

Felicity is the middle name of my third daughter - I have four

[Tortuga]

Jezebel. 

 

Queen Jezebel was a pushover, but it's still a pretty name

Althea is the name of my dear departed Sister-in-law. She was a beauty. My oldest son resembles her.  Four daughters is a bountiful blessing. We have raised seven sons.

Jezebel.

I appreciate the humor more than the name.

[Cherie]

Thank you for all your thoughtful replies!. Isn't it too bad grandparents don't have much pull. I've already been turned down on Solange, Darla, Denee, and Nyla. I'm going to pace myself and try again tomorrow. She's due in about a week!

[kejedo]

I still like Althea

[Tortuga]

Too bad it isn't a boy. I have always liked Maher-shalal-hash-baz as a boys name.

[ReadYourBible]

I am anxiously awaiting to hear what name she gives her
