Help with a girls name

[Jennifer13]

With Temperence you would have to be Ok with someone eventually calling her "Bones" like in the TV series of the Kathy Reichs books

Personally, I doubt anyone will remember that by the time she even gets to school. Didn't even occur to me.

I think they're all lovely names, no wonder you're having a hard time choosing.

What about the meanings behind the names? That's what we used when we were down to two and couldn't decide. Is there any particular meaning you like the best.

" KEELY "

... Wishing you the absolute very, very, & very BEST this week xOx

I like Temperance. What about Darcy?
Keely is nice too.

As for kids teasing kids because of their names. Kids will make something out of anything! So i wouldn't worry about that - unless you're naming them something totally cruel!
We have Jackson picked for a boy, and Dylan if we had a girl and the teasing names I could come up with made people think i was going nutters XD

I like Keely and Ainsley the best.
I know a boy named Darby, but haven't heard it used as a girls name ....yet
As Teagz suggested - Darcy is a pretty name too.

Ainsley is also a suburb in Canberra I think? I don't know about Keely. ... I immediately think 'Really Keely"? Sorry, I'm not much help! good luck deciding.

Thank you so much for your responses And thank you to who changed the title of the post lol.

As for meanings, I love Keely because it means "beautiful", but Darby is a family name and also means "at liberty".

It's tough because we can't decide on a good middle name either. Today I like Darby Summer but DH likes Temperance Darby (which makes me think of Terence Trent Darby).

Why is it so hard to decide on a girls name?

Ainsley would be my first pick - then Keely.
I am not fond of Temperance. I know its only 3 syllables - but its a very long name for a child to have to spell - IYKWIM? Plus it has the word 'temper' in it - lol. I prefer the suggestion Cadence...
Darby also reminds me of Derby and the word Garb... (sorry) I think it looks more like a last name - not as feminine as your other choices. Perhaps this one would be good as a middle name? Especially as it has a family link.
Good luck deciding. Names are so hard....
