Hello everyone! My DH and I are TTC #1 (we have been trying for over a year). We were discussing names again the other night and are stumped on a name. We really like the name Shelby for a girl but have decided we like it better for a middle name. Does anyone have any suggestions on a first name for Shelby. Our last name starts with a "L" and is two syllables. I would appreciate any suggestions. FYI..we have picked Connor Francis for a boy. Thanks in advance!!!

Caroline Shelby sounds beautiful to me and very southern...I like it! It would depend on how L heavy it sounds with your last name though. Good luck!

I think Shelby would work wonderfully as a first name with some type of family name or name with meaning as the fn. I LOVE Shelby!

Hello and good luck on ttc.


Judging by the style of Shelby and Connor, I'm thinking you like crisp, tailored, surname-ish names.


What about


Brooke Shelby


Darrah Shelby


Fallon Shelby


Jade Shelby


Megan Shelby


Kendall Shelby


Ashton Shelby


Tatum Shelby


Ragan Shelby


Brinn Shelby


Lauren Shelby

Thank you all for your help! I really like Julia. I also like Cecilia and Clara. There are a few others that I liked but since I am one of the last of my friends/family to have a baby some of those are already being used. It seems like I like the names that end with the "a" sound. That seems to flow best with our last name. I appreciate all the help, I will mention these to DH.

Hi everyone and thank you for all the suggestions. I mentioned some of these to DH but we couldn't agree on any. I have another question for you. He really wants to use Shelby for the fn but I'm afraid she'll get teased because of our ln. Tell me what you think of when you hear Shelby Lincoln

I see no obvious way that people would tease that name...why does he think that would happen?
I think it sounds lovely!

Well I think she could be teased because my DH and all his friends are really into cars. So my initial thought is that both names are related to cars. He says no one else will notice this but I'm not so sure. Other than this I love the name. So you don't think anyone else would notice this?
