Thank you so much for helping make sense of all of the lovely names.I truly love some of your ideas.You are helping make this pregnancy easier.It is nice to know that someone is out there to help not harang you.
We have nixed Laura and possibly Isabella.I think Olivia is out,too.I love them both but they are very popular.
I like the suggestion of Charlotte,Anne-Louise,and Juliette.But my SIL that I am not crazy about is Julie.She just had a baby girl named Zhevia Zoe.
I also like Charlotte,Anne-Marie,and Victoria.
I agree that Victoria Louise sounds good.Anne-Marie Helene does,too.Louise and Helen are family names.Some version of Helen will be one of the names.

So as of this moment we are going with Charlotte Peyton and Anne- something.Baby #3 or Baby C has no name yet.We'll keep working on it.I love Claire and Caroline but don't want to have 2 "C" names.Caroline ,Charlotte,and Claire are still names that I like lots.
Keep your thinking caps on and if you find something perfect to go with Charlotte and Anne-Marie or Anne-Louise let me know.
I am 29 weeks today.I do not think I will hold out until March though.I think they will come soon.The cotractions that were every 15 minutes have stopped.So maybe they will wait another week or 2.My 1st set were born early so I guess these ladies will be too.I have been on bedrest for more almost 3 months.I can't wait to have everybody here and at home.I can't wait to cook dinner,clean the house(my way,grin),and play with my older ones.Not to mention hold my little ladies in my arms.That is what we have taken to calling them.

Congratulations! Wow, 3 babies! What are your other children's names?

As for your names, I love the name Charlotte and want to use it myself--my dad's name is Charles, so I want a daughter to be named Clara Charlotte. I don't like Peyton with it, though, because the names are totally different in style, and they don't really seem to flow. Interestingly, I'm also using Victoria one day, because it's my middle name (I want to have Victoria Rose or Rosalie Victoria)! I also like Juliette, but I would nix it if it reminds you of a horrid sister-in-law. You don't want her to assume that you named the baby after her! :-)

For baby 2, what about Anabel or Anabella? I know you said Anne-something, but I'm not really a fan of hyphenated names, and since there are 3 of them, sticking with a single name may be easier for you, anyway.

You said Louise was a family name, and it's also a name that I love. What about Louisa? Either way, her nickname could be Lulu, which I think is adorable! A also love Anna Louise, but not Anne Louise. I just don't like Anne...so there it is, the real truth!

So, I guess here are my suggestion:

Anna Charlotte or Charlotte Victoria
Anna Louise or Louisa Clare
Anabel Victoria or Elinor Victoria (Elinor is the French derivative of Helen)
Helena Charlotte
Anna Helene
Louisa Helene
Victoria Helene or Victoria Elinor
Clare Helene (I think this might make a good double name, if you wanted to call her by both).

Anyway, this is just me playing around. Let us know which ones you like!

The idea that immediately popped into my head was that you have A- and C- names, so you need a B- name! You could use one of remaining C- names you like for the mn

To go with Anne-Marie/Louise & Charlotte, I like-

Bridget Claire, Bekka Caroline, Beatrice Claire, Brynna Caroline, Bianca Claire
These are the five B- names I think sound good with the other "little ladies."

If you don't like the B- idea, what about one of the following-
Anne-Marie/Louise, Charlotte, & - - -

Ellen, Patrice/Patricia, Estella/Stella, Lillian/Lily, Penelope, Lola, Deirdre, Gemma, Sadie, Fiona, Lois, Millicent, Gretchen, Lorna, Natalie, Ivy, Jessamyn, Sasha

Combos I like-

Sadie Louise, Millicent Helene, Lola Helen, Ivy Helene, Gemma Louise

Keep us posted! Ginger

Hi Jenni!

You poor thing you! Already you have been on three months of bed rest? Egad! Congratulations on making it to 29 weeks. That is excellent!

I'm happy that you liked my suggestion of Juliette, but I see the problem with the annoying SIL, Julie! Of course, Juliette is much more elegant. It doesn't feel like the same as Julie to me at all, but we can't have that SIL thinking one of the babies was named for her.

So, I went back to my lists to do a little more work for you. A couple points to consider: I agree with a previous poster that Peyton doesn't go stylistically with Charlotte, at least to some degree. At one time I would have said they were fine together. It's just that Peyton feels a little trendy to me now, whereas Charlotte is a classic, though it is growing in popularity, too. Your other children's names, and the names you seem to like are definitely the classic variety. Peyton is by no means a bad name, but you just may want to think of an alternative more along the classic lines.

Also, I personally like Anne-Louise better than Anne-Marie. Anne-Marie just feels a little common compared to Anne-Louise.

I may have suggested some of these names before, but to go with Charlotte & Anne-Louise and your other children, I like the following:

Millicent (someone else suggested this.)
Beatrice
Violet
Sylvie
Mary, instead of Marie (nn Minna or Minette? so cute!)
Evangeline
Evelina

I think Helena is a great choice too as a first name. I assume you don't like it as much as some other names since you've relegated it to middle name status. But it would be pretty with Charlotte and Anne-Louise.

If I got to name your babies, I would name them:

Charlotte Evelina
Anne-Louise Violet
Mary Helena

My two cents! Best wishes to you! I hope you get to do all the things like cook dinner, play with your children, and go out soon. But not too soon.

I actually thought about Patrice last night ! I also like Penelope but my dear cousin loves that name and wants to save it for her someday daughter.She has liked Penelope Jane forever.She always named her baby that when we played.
Thanks.

Do you like Beatrice? It's one my all time favorites. I would like to name my next daughter that (if I have one), but alas, I named my cat Beatrice years ago! I don't think I can use it on a baby now.

Beatrice Helene?
