Girl #5! Cant come up with names! Help!

Hi, my name is Lisa. Im pregnant with our 5th girl! Names are becoming hard to come up with. We have...

8 year old Mariah Jane (sometimes nn 'MJ')

5 year old Abigail Catherine (nn Abby)

2 year old identical twins Grace Eileen nn Gracie and Nicole Susan nn Niki and sometimes 'Niki Sue' (only by close family)

My husband and I had Mariah and Abby and wanted to try for 1 more, we wanted to try for a boy...well not even close, lol. Well "baby girl #5" Is a suprise, lol, and when we found out we were pregnant again we were hoping for a boy, but Im due in the end off november, and doctor says it a girl! We are thrilled regardless, we love all our girls.

Anyways we are having a hard time coming up with another girls name, we were stressed coming up with Grace and Nicole. Any suggestions for names that you think go well with our 4 other girls?

Oh yea all middle names are family names, so we will be going that route with this one too. We just arent sure which name yet, weve used most of them already, lol!

All of your daughter's names are beautiful, but seem so different, so it's hard to think of a name to "fit". Anything would work really. I think the only time a name absolutely needs to "fit" is when the other siblings names are similar, in style, or have the same initial, etc. But here are some suggestions:

Bethany

Delaney nn Laney

Fiona

Sophia

Patricia nn Tricia/Patti

Francesca nn Francie or Frannie

Isabelle nn Belle

Krista

Lucinda nn Lucy

Olivia nn Livi

Roxana nn Roxi

Taylor

Zoe

Jenna

Julia

Cassidy

Eliza

Bridget

Karissa

Charlotte

Steffanie

Sabrina

Alison

Rachel

Wow! Lots of girls, huh? I like that you are doing family mn. That's a great connection!

When I read the names of your other daughters, the name that seemed to be missing, to me, was Hannah. The only problem I have with that is that it doesn't have the nickname potential that all the other names have...You could do Johanna and have nn Jo/Joey/Jodi/Josie.

Others I like with siblings are- Rebecca(Becca), Amanda(Amy/Mandy), Samantha(Sam), Andrea(Andi/Dree), Josephine(Josie), Camille(Cami/Millie), Beatrice(Bea/Trixie), Delilah(Dee/Lilah), Rachel(Rae), Breanna(Bree/Annie), Eleanor (Elly/Lea/Nori), Kimberly(Kimi/Kimber), Charlotte(Char/Charley/Lottie), Sarah (Sally), Eliza/Elizabeth (Lizzie/Elly/Liza/Beth/*Betsy*, Frances/Francesca(Frannie/Francie), Daniella(Dani/Ella), Michaela (Micki/Kay), Lillian (Lily/Lia), Gabriella(Bria/Bree/Ella/Elly), Allison(Ally/Lissy), Christina(Chris/Christa/Christy/Cricket/Tina), Isabella(Izzy/Bell), Leanna(Lee/Ann/Anna/Annie/Lea), Juliana(Julie/Lia/Ana/Annie)

Others that are a nice fit but don't have the nn potential- Gemma, Jenna, Molly, Leah, Naomi, Stella, Eden, Laurel, Kyra, Gretchen, Bethany, Lydia, Lauren, Lola, Holly, Anna, Jocelyn, Bridget

Let us know what you decide! Take care, Ginger
