Help with Names!!!

I am having trouble with baby names. Not sure what I am having but have names picked out. I have 3 other children with names all atarting with "n". You have helped me with that. I love the name Norah Grace-Anne. People have showed me disapproval saying it is an old ladies name. Not that it should matter but I dont want her to have a ugly name.

For a boy I love Luke Anthony Thomas ( MN of two men I respect). If I use this i will not be sticking to the "n" names. Give me some feed back PLEASE!!!!

I dont like the idea or 2 middle names. I do love Norah Grace (without the Anne) Its beautiful and I dont think its old ladyish

I like Luke Anthony and Luke Thomas just not together its to complcated and confusing imo. How about Anthony Thomas or Thomas Anthony. Both very nice.

Its okay if you dont stick with the 'n' names. Best of luck.

I don't think you have to stick to the n- names. I think it's much more important to go with a name you like or that has special meaning.

As far as Norah Grace-Anne being an old ladies' name, ignore the comments. If you chose something really hip/trendy/unusual, they would comment on that too. PLUS, old-fashioned names for girls are the "big thing" right now, so your child will likely be part of a whole generation of Sally, Emma, Julia, Norah, Ellen, Ruth,etc.

Take care, Ginger

I think both names are great. Next time someone says Norah is an old-lady name, mention Norah Jones. :)
