Baby #3 - Which Name do you like best?
Hi All,
I am expecting a baby girl after 2 boys, due mid may. I have a short list of 5 names and I'd love your opinion!
Our last name sounds like Warmer (just replace the “m” with an “n”). We have two sons, L@chlan D@vid and Willi@m Mich@el. My husband is Scottish by decent and my background is Welsh/English. We currently live in Australia!
A little about our name choices for our current children: We chose our first son’s name, by pulling his name out of a hat! My husband and I could not agree on 3 names we liked (Matthew and Andrew being the other two), so we put all three suggestions in a hat and I pulled out L@chlan. His middle name D@vid is, of course, after my husband. Our second son’s name was chosen through mutual agreement as soon as we knew it was a boy. Willi@m is a family name on both sides of our family, being the great great grandfather on both sides! Mich@el is my father and grandfather’s name and goes wonderfully with Willi@m.
Another reason why we chose L@chlan and Willi@m is because we liked that they could be shortened to nicknames. L@chlan quite often gets called “L@chie” and Willi@m goes by “Li@m” from day to day.
We are now expecting our third baby due in May, a girl this time! If baby 3 had been another boy he would have been called Angus or Hamish (middle name Eric), to keep in line with the Scottish/Celtic theme.
Some guidelines we would like to stick with:
1. Traditional/classic/Old School – nothing too popular
2. Scottish/Celtic/English/Australian origin
3. Middle name will be F@ye (after my mother in law who passed away 5 years ago)
4. Can be shortened for a nickname
Some of the names we’ve been throwing around:
1. Annabelle – a little on the popular side. Also has the name “Ann” incorporated which is my mother’s name. Love the meaning of this name – Grace and Beauty, however no nicknames I really like… dislike Belle as a nickname and Anna/Annie is too close to my mums name and I do want a bit of originality
2. Elspeth – I fell in love with this name when I heard it, it’s old school, classic, not popular and easily shortened to Elsie or Ellie which are gorgeous nicknames.
3. Cecelia – this is my mother’s middle name, and is another old school classic name. The only shortened name I could think of is Cece or Celia which is cute but I’m not sold. I don’t want another nickname starting with “L” so Lia is out.
4. Matilda – a classic Australian name, shortened to Tilly or Mattie. Goes nicely with Faye. I keep coming back to this name
5. Maisie – my husband’s grandmother’s name. No nickname but a sweet girly name that goes nicely with the boys names
6. Madeleine - another classic name that can be shortened to Maddy. My hubs suggested this one
Choosing a girl’s name is proving quite the task and I would love your input!
