Sophia is a bit of a grown up name, but you'll probably end up calling her Soph or Sophie anyway and those are sweet little girls names that also work well for teenagers.
I really like the name Emily and you could call her Em for short which is cute.
I agree with your reasoning, I don't think Anna is right given the cousins name and the dogs name! Weird that you didn't think about it before though?
Once she's born, you could get your husband to ditch the name Anna by looking at her and saying "she's just not an Anna" - how could he argue with that?
Ha ha, DH is a little funny like that - he wants the baby's name picked BEFORE she is born. He doesn't like the idea of an unnamed baby.
I should have clarified a little - Elyse, Marieke and Emily are the three girls that we already have. No going back on those.
For the new bean I'm trying to find something better, and my current picks are Sophia, Charlotte, and something Rose-ish, if you know what I mean.
Pass along the suggestions and ideas ladies - I need help!
Yeah, how about Rosanna? Then you get Rose and Anna. Both times I've contemplated names I've checked out a website called nymbler, and you can type in all the names you like and it gives you similar ones. You might come across a name that makes you go - oh yeah, I love that!
Sweet middle name, by the way.
DH and I both love Anneliese, but with a daughter named Elyse already, that one's out.
I love Anneka, but DH says it reminds him of Anikin Skywalker. ()
Nelle - I've used Nymbler, and it's lots of fun, but I haven't come across anything stellar yet. Still trying though!
Janelle is a combination of DH's grandmothers' names, and it's also my sisters name, so I'd rather use it for a second name than a first, just to save on confusion. I like my babies to have first names that are all their own, and second names that belong to the family.
Lucy.... hmmm.... could think about that one. Another sister of mine has a friend named Lucia - it's a pretty name.
Rosalyn seems pretty too. Although that really reminds me of the babysitter from the Calvin and Hobbes comic. (Do they have Calvin and Hobbes in AUS? Funniest comic strip of all time, IMO. Google it. )
Rosanna is nice.... too close to Rosanne, maybe? Was that TV show on in AUS too? With Rosanne Barr? Hated that show. But it's been a while, maybe there wouldn't be that association anymore for most people.
What I really need is some feedback from DH! Not getting anything from him. Got to work on that.
