New & Need Help - which best?

hi, I'm Kat.


Baby names is the best fun!


i like some Spanish/ethnic names (like 'Alessandra'). i also LOVE the Old English/Scottish Family names (like Morgan).


I'd like to use a family name that isn't super popular & so there's not more than 1 girl w/ the name in her class.


A family names on both my side & my DH's side in the 1600s for me & 1800s for DH = Mallory. i like it but is that just cruel to give a girl the name of a Colonel??


what do YOU like? :0)


1. Ava


2. Deidre


3. Courtney


4. Madison (too popular now?)


5. Morgan (too used? so many w/ this name now?)


6.

THANKS!! You all are so super helpful!! THE BEST!


I LOVE "AVA" but wonder if "Courtney" or "Lauren" would be safer bets (I'm kinda preppy (ick- I know!) but preppy just sticks to me despite bohemian phases).


Lauren is so kinda boring --w/ the clothing line & overused - but it's truly a 'safe' choice. (just forget Lauren or no?)


Ava vs. Courtney.


I don't think Courtney got too many votes.


(funny thing- I LOVED the name Avery & thought I was sooooo clever to come up w/ that name for a girl. LOL.


but she could be both. Avery & her nickname could be Ava. very Interesting coincidence!!)


Any ideas very important to me! Please submit anything.


I really appreciate it!! Best wishes,

What letter does your last name begin with? How long is it? If you give us hints about your last name (people here will often say my last name begins with an A and is 3 syllables, or something like that), maybe we can figure out what names would "flow" best with your last name!

But I think you have a lot of good options so far!

Hi, THANK YOU SO MUCH.


My last name begins w/ "B" & is one syllable --

You're welcome! I hope you get some good ideas from here.

My last name is a one-syllable B name, too. It's hard b/c I would like to use a lot of B names when I get pregnant, such as Brendan or Brenna or Brynn, but I just don't think it sounds good with our last name.

I still vote for Mallory or Courtney, although Ava is pretty, too, if that's your first choice. Like I said, I don't think you can go wrong.
