Who ever thought this would be easy?


I have searched sites and still only come up with the following.

I'll take what's behind Door Number Three. I think Grace Montito is a classic--I can imagine it on a film star, on one of those tough-but-gorgeous lawyers on Law & Order and on a little girl.

All of those names are so pretty but Sophia Montoto sounds just gorgeous.

While all three of those names are *beautiful*, as you know, they are all very popular right now. I would take one step away from hyper-popular, looking for classic but not so common. BTW, your last name is uncommon, but IMHO it's not difficult. I think you have more leeway than you think ...

Some of my suggestions:
Ivy -- I really like this with Montoto
Phoebe
Tess
Eliza
Rosemary/Romy
Rosalind
Caroline
Natalie

That's all I can think of for now!

I think pretty much everything about pregnancy, giving birth, & raising the kid is diffacult & super fun at the same time.

Hello! I absolutely LOVE the name Claire! Its beautiful, and was our girl name, but we had our 3rd (and last) boy recently, and never got to use it. I didn't even realize it was popular, as I haven't heard it where we live. I think all 3 names go well with your ln, but as a pp stated, I don't find your LN all that difficult... unless the pron is not phonetic. You may be able to use a less common fn if you want. Good luck to you!

What do you think of Sophia Claire Montono?


I know Sophia is popular, but it is so pretty and flows with your ln.

yes, Grace is terribly popular right now - I don't know near as many Claire's, but I just don't see it with Montoto - it seems off ethnically


Sophia Montoto sounds the best together - I'm not crazy for the Marie in the middle with that
