If you don't remember me, my kids are Hailey, Ethan and Olivia. I find out next Weds if I'm having a girl or boy. At least, I better find out, LOL! We've thought of Cecily, Charlotte, Lorelei for a girl and now I'm thinking of Maggie as a possibility. I just don't know if it's too hard next to the other three. And is Margaret the only name it is a nn for? Cause I'm thinking not naming her just Maggie would be a good idea.
Also, we have a pretty common last name that starts with R. I like names like Rachel, Rebekak, and Ryan for a boy, but I worry about the R-R sound. What is your opinion on it? It seems to bother DH more with Ryan than with the others....
So far our boy options are Seth and Zeke. Though like I said, I really like Ryan.
Oh, and mns will be family names that work the best with what we pick. :)
I'm also beginning to think I'm never going to figure out a name, LOL! I know, I know, I have TONS of time left. :)


My thoughts...
Seth - like it. Goes well with your other kids names.
Zeke - NMS. It would be okay as a nn for Ezekial. Another similar name I like is Zane.
Ryan - like it, but not sure about the R R sound. Would depend on your last name. Have you considered Bryan or Bryant?
Other ideas: Owen, Lance, Noah, Jonah, Shane, Kyle, Mitchell, Marshall, Brett.
Cecily - like this, but prefer Cecilia or Celia.
Loralei - NMS. Doesn't match well with the other girls names. I do like Laurel or Laura.
Charlotte - like it.
Maggie - like it. It doesn't sound 'hard'. I like it as a nn for Margaret, but not sure what other names it could be a nn for. An alternate name would be Megan with nn Meggie. I love this and think it matches well with Hailey and Olivia.
Rebekah and Rachel - like, but, again, would depend on your last name.
Other ideas: Alexis, Natalie, Jenna, Brooke, Samantha, Sierra, Brianna.
Congrats on baby #4!!
Cecily--I think this one is cute!
Charlotte--I love the NN Charlie for a little girl, but don't like Charlotte as much.
Lorelei--I like Laurel or Lauren better.
Maggie--Although Margaret is the most popular for the NN Maggie, I don't feel Margaret "fits" in the style with your other children ( not that, that means alot to some people)
Rachel, Rebekah, and Ryan--it's so hard to say without knowing your last name. Some names sound fine with dbl letters and others don't. I do like all names and think that Rachel and Ryan fot well with your other children.
Seth--very cute!
Zeke--I have never been a fan of Zeke or Ezekial and I am not sure why. I just don't like the way Zeke sounds.

Are there any of the family names you could use a fn instead of just a mn? Just a thought!
HTH

All of the kids have their own fns and were given family names as their mns. I figure since we've done that with the previous three that we should keep the trend. That and most of the middle names we've used have been near and dear to us, but not names we would use as first names.
I'm always open to naming suggestions. I'm just finding that it's very hard this time! Fortunately, this time will be the last, LOL!
Introducing baby #4.......
Your kids' names are way my style so I thought I should try to help. Here's my two cents:
LOVE LOVE LOVE Cicily. It was one of our considerations, we changed it to Chloe. I think I'm changing it back ...
Love Charlotte, so pretty and feminine, but strong.
Lorelei is growing on me, but a little hard for me.
Maggie? No where near as pretty as your other names. And it's the baby on the Simpsons, which I couldn't get past personally. But if you liked it but not Margaret, how about Margaritte or Margaretta?
Can't help with boys names, sorry have to run!
GL!
