help with names
| Tue, 07-11-2006 - 8:48am |
Hi! I'm new here and have about 8 weeks left of preg. We are having a little girl and are having a hard time agreeing on a name. We have a 3 year old little girl named Gracyn.
Please give me your opinions and advice on the names we've come up with...
Anna Kathryn (call her Anna Kate)
Ann Riley (call her both)
Ann McCall (call her both)
Elizabeth McCall (call her McCall)
Molly (don't know middle name)
These are mostly family names. Thanks for your help!!

Anna Kathryn (call her Anna Kate) - Love this!
Ann Riley (call her both) - Riley is nms.
Ann McCall (call her both) - I think this sounds like you'd be calling her by her first and last name (If she introduced herself as Ann McCall to me, I'd assume fn Ann and ln McCall)
Elizabeth McCall (call her McCall) - I'm assuming McCall is a family name, which I think is great! It's just not quite my favorite as a fn because it's sounds masculine. I do like the pairing with Elizabeth a lot though.
Molly (don't know middle name) - Molly is cute. How about Mary McCall nn Molly or Margaret McCall nn Molly.
1) Anna Kathryn is my favorite on your list. I prefer Katherine but if Kathryn is a family name, I'd stick with that spelling. I also like Anna Elizabeth nn Anna Beth.
2) Margaret McCall nn Molly would be one of my favorites if it were a choice. I think if you want to use Molly as the given name, Molly Kathryn is pretty.
3) Elizabeth McCall is a great combo - I'm just not sold on the calling her McCall. What about Elizabeth McCall nn Callie, Calla, Liza, or Lila
Anna Kathryn (call her Anna Kate)- LOVE this, it is so sweet and underused. My fave of the list by far
Ann Riley (call her both)- Ann seems plain to me, I prefer Anna, and Riley doesn't go well with Ann at all. It is too trendy
Ann McCall (call her both)- Is McCall a family name? If so, I like this as a mn, although I wouldn't suggest calling her that
Elizabeth McCall (call her McCall)- I would love this, IF you wouldn't call her McCall... it is very masculine to me however I love it as a mn...
Molly (don't know middle name)- too cutesy... I know too many dogs named Molly
I say either Anna Kathryn called Anna Kate OR Elizabeth McCall called Beth/Libby/Liza/Ellie/etc.
I hope you don't think I'm crazy, but I like McCall Riley...
Good luck!
First, NOT THAT IT MATTERS, just to me, none of your choices are the same style as Gracyn.
Anna Kathryn (call her Anna Kate)- love this, because Anna Kate is cute, and Anna is less popular then all the Ava and Katie's around
Ann Riley (call her both)- Riley fits more with Gracyn, but I much prefer Anna Kate, if you are going to use a double name
Ann McCall (call her both)- ok
Elizabeth McCall (call her McCall)- I think if you are JUST going to call her McCall, than maybe it should be McCall Elizabeth, JMO. I do really like Elizabeth though, and it has great nn potentials.
Molly (don't know middle name)- Really cute, this name has grown on me since one of my neices is Mollie Ruth.
My fav. for you is Anna Kate, follwed by McCall Elizabeth or Elizabeth McCall. I know McCall is a family name so I like that too.
Anna Kathryn (call her Anna Kate) - I Love it! Even more, I love the name Anna Elizabeth and call her Anna Beth!!!! Great name!
Ann Riley (call her both) - Love Ann, not a fan of Riley.
Ann McCall (call her both) - Love Ann. McCall is great if it's a family name, but I'd just call her Ann.
Elizabeth McCall (call her McCall)- LOVE Elizabeth, but dont care for it paired with McCall. Elizabeth Anna is very nice.
Molly (don't know middle name)- Love this name!!!! I think Molly Ann is very sweet. Molly Elizabeth is nice too.
Great list!
I like Anna Kathryn, very pretty and feminine. You have great choices.

LOVE Ann McCall!
Interestingly, I have a friend who babysits for twins (boy and girl) named McCall and Elizabeth. If you're going to call her McCall (which I love), then I think McCall should be her first name.
I think Anna Kate is cute as a nn, so I'd vote for #1.
Molly is cute too --
