For a boy I really like the name Dietrich (pronounced Dee-trik... Dieter for short!) but I am having trouble coming up with a good middle name? I want something classic, strong, a little unusual, not too trendy, that will hopefully blend with my other kids' names. (a tall order, I know!)
I am not sure what I want in a girl's name, but I am leaning towards Josephine (a family name) and calling her Josie. I gave my first daughter three names, so I would need three for this one, too. :-) What goes with JOSIE??? (I HATE trendy girl's names! I prefer something classic or even old fashioned.)
My boys are:
Christopher Michael
Jordan Wesley
Ian Alexander
Benjamin Anthony
My girl is:
Ivy Victoria Anne :-)
Any suggestions would be appreciated! :-)

With Dietrich, how about:
Dietrich Clark
Dietrick Sean
Dietrich Lance
Dietrich Anders
Dietrich Geoffrey
Dietrich Reilly

Dietrich Jorgensen

A few ideas using Josephine:
Josephine Noelle Avalon
Josephine Maura Layne
Josephine Audra Kate
Josephine Leah Paige
Josephine Fiona Renee
Josephine Riley Erin
Josephine Elle Therese
I love the nn Josie. You could also use Josette with that nn instead of Josephine.
Good luck.
If you are going to use 3 MNs with Josephine I suggest two very short names. Josephine is a mouthful in and of itself.
I envy you with all your children :) I've always wanted 4 or 5 (at least!) of my own. Don't know if Dh is willing, though... so far we've only agreed on 4 but I'd love to have a whole TEAM! All your names are right up my alley, too! (Except Deitrich, I'm not real sure about that one! :)
Lots of luck to you! and congratulations

My suggestions for Dietrich:
Dietrich Russell
Dietrich William
Dietrich Charles
Dietrich Christian
For Josephine:
Josephine Helena Leigh
Josephine Sophia Leigh (sorry, couldn't think of another short one for some reason).
LOL, Liz!
I think I like Dietrich William for a boy, and for a girl I am thinking about
Josephine Margaret Rose... Josie Rose for short. :-)
I'm still combing the baby name books for more ideas, though! It's a good thing I still have 7 1/2 months to decide!

For some reason, Josephine is not my favorite. I know a few of them under the age of 2, though. Genevieve seems to be gaining popularity, too.
Maybe Josie Mae or Josie Kate?
