HELP! girl name needed - 29 days left

We're down to the last 29 days and I'm still struggling with names for our daughter. I've talked myself in and out of more than a dozen names. ANY help would be fantastic!!!! I don't think that I'm overly picky, but I do have some "criteria" for her...


- it needs to have a nick-name to go with it


- it cant be overly popular (I don't want her to go to her pre-k class and have 4 other girls with the same name)


- it needs to be unique without being extremely odd

Just a little info- the last name is Burch (sounds like Birch - the tree). Thanks soooo much for your input!

I don't know if this is your style, but we are naming our daughter Courtney and will call her "Coco".

I wanted the same kind of girl name too. We decided on Laura with the middle name of Jean. As a nicke name we all call her Laura Jean. So you night think of that as an option.

I like the name Presley for a girl. I am quite the Elvis fan and I think it is quite unique.


Im not sure what the nickname for that could be.. but thats my suggestion.


Good luck!

Hello Nicnac703,


I am new to this site and this will be the first thing I have ever put on here. I am not a mother yet but I can't wait until I am. I understand your name dilemma, I have a baby name book out and it has some pretty interesting names, I am really take the last name into consideration, so let's see what we can come up with here....


1. Savannah or Savanna Burch - this means :"an open plain"
2. Prudence Burch- nickname:Pru - "foresight, intelligence"
3. Nerissa Burch - nickname:Rissa "one from the sea" - I have a friend named Nerissa, not many of them around at all, trust me.


Well, it was the best I could do, there were a lot of crazy names in the book I have. Let me know what you pick even if it isn't one of these. Not to be to bias...my fave one of the three is Nerissa, I have met a lot of people and I only know one Nerissa and she's pretty amazing.


Good Luck, you will make an excellent parent!
