Help choosing btwn 2 girl names...
| Sat, 12-17-2005 - 5:11pm |
My favorite girl name is Serena, but due to family obligations I have to use a name that begins with the letter "B". I don't love any "B" names but do sorta like a few. DH has vetoed some that others have suggested like Brooke, Beth and Bailey so I've narrowed it down to 2 but can't decide:
Brielle Serena
or
Breanne Serena (or any variation like Brianne, Brayanne, etc.)
I don't usually like popular names (and I know that Breanne is very popular now), but I live in a place where that's not a problem at all and it will actually be a unique name.
I need opinions please! Thanks so much!
Please feel free to suggest anything else!

Blythe
Blair
Bethany
Beri

I'm kinda leaning towards Breanne since it's Tierza's middle name ;)
I like both Breanne & Brielle. I think I like Breanne a little more. Not sure what sounds best with last name..
If you are still in need of B names - How about:
Belle Serena
Bridgit Serena
Bess Serena
Bernadette Serena
Bethany Serena ( it's a little different form Beth, but not much)
Beverly Serena
Betsy Serena
Blair Serena
Brenn Serena
Brittany Serena
Bree Serena
and - not sure if I would use b/c

I just have to ask - what sort of family obligation would force you into using a B name instead of a name you ADORE?
Penny- long story...
We are Jewish and my dad (whom my children and I were very close to) just passed away this past August. We give our children both English names and Hebrew names, with the Hebrew name being the important one connected to our soul. I am giving my baby girl the female version of my dad's hebrew name (which means "Blessing" btw), and a tradition (altho not a religious rule) is to use the same name or letter of the name for English and his name was Bernard. I didn't mind using the B as a mn since she will be getting his Hebrew name which is the important one for us, but my mom had a freak attack when she heard that I wasn't using a B for a fn. She thinks that by using a B name I will think of my dad every time I say the baby's name and that will honour his memory, but my opinion is that since I don't love any B names I will only feel resentful every time I say the name instead of feeling closer to my dad. Unfortunately what my mom thinks/feels holds a lot of weight with me cuz we are close and I don't like pissing her off, plus my dad was very devoted to his family and esp. my kids. She says that Brielle (my suggestion) is an appropriate name since one of the Jewish angels in the bible's name is Gabriel and that this baby will be like an angel in our lives (she isn't thrilled with the pg, btw, cuz I am already kept very busy with 3 active boys - and I know this is her way of coming to terms with it. ). I know that I SHOULD use the name I love, but it's at a high price to pay if ya kwim!
Anyway, that's my dilemma in naming this child!
