Girls name help!!!
| Sun, 01-27-2008 - 9:21am |
Ok so here's the deal:
I have a boy's name picked but not a girl's name. My husband and I love the name Sophie (we're both french) but the popularity of Sophia has me worried. What do you all think? Would she grow up with too many Sophie/Sophias?? I really like soft sounding feminine names and My husband likes classic names... any suggestions??? Our last name is Fortin so I'd like something that sounds good with that. Here are some names I can not use due to family/friends:
Sage Olivia Julia Ashley Emily Samantha Megan Kelly Marissa
Thanks for the help!

Our daughter was supposed to be named Isabella Sophia - until just about every new mother or mother to be I met was naming their new daughter either Isabella, Isabelle, Sophie or Sophia. We ended up going with Leila Alexandra after toying with the names Lyra, Liliana, Belle, Alana, and Claire (my cousin named her baby girl Claire, knocking that one out). Stella & Cora are family names, which I like, but my husband didn't. And Lee, in all its various incarnations, is a favored family middle name in both my family and my husband's (Lee, Lea, Leigh, Lei).
Our (combined) other children are Kira, Kassandra, Molly, Casey, and Samuel.
My suggestion for a girl's name would to be first look at family names - grandparents, great-aunts & such, and see if one of them or an alteration or similar name would work. If you like French or French-sounding names:
Chloe
Amalie
Aimee
Blanche
Calia/Callia
Darcie/Darcy
Eleanor
Jenay
Felicity/Felicite
Liana
Reine/Reina
Aurelie
