We finally agree on a Girl name!

As you know my husband and I are starting the adoption journey this year. We want to have the name of our child ready. We have decided on a boy name Lucas Valentino but never have agreed on a name for a girl. We just finished watching the movie August Rush that we are going to purchase as soon as possible. The name we have fell in love with was Lyla and we are going to use for a middle name Marie. My grandmother's middle name was Maria and my MIL name is Maria. So we are just going to change it a little and give the name Marie. Well let me rephrase that our little girl's name is going to be Lyla-Marie. WDYT? We would want it to be a whole name. I love how it flows! I would love to hear from everyone!!! I am so happy that we have agreed on a name!

First of all, congrats on finding a name! I love Lyla Marie, although I admit I really dislike the hyphen!

My husband is now telling me the same thing. So it will just be a middle name! I am going to compromise because we both agree that it's a beautiful name! I would just call our little girl by her both names!

I agree about the hyphen - glad you decided against it.

I think that's just lovely. (And I have a friend named Anna Marie and that's what all but the newbies call her--and they usually can be trained.)

I think Lyla Marie is very pretty, I think it's fine to call her by both names, even without the hyphen because they are both relatively short.
