Help me with my 3rd girl!

We just found out Princess #3 will be joining us in October. I had a boys name picked out, but this is really hard! Initially we thought we would go with an "a" ending/sounding name, but yesterday DH suggested that we have my name as a middle name...Melissa. Its a very touching suggestion, just means that names that we were looking at are out!

He suggested Amy Melissa, I'm not so sold on Amy. I like names having nick names.

DD1 is Olivia Grace- grace after MIL
DD2 is Rebecca Vicki- Vicki after my mum.
DD3.... ? Melissa- after me!

SO i like timeless names, nothing too fancy, something simple!

Any suggestions would be appreciated :)

Forgot to add.... No H starting names as our surname is Howell!

congrats hun !!

i like Amy but spelt Amiee

Olive... I must admit it might be growing on me! Its something I didnt think of! I just asked dd1 what her sisters name is and she said...Amy...just like daddy said! Its cute to hear. I think I will flag the spelling with dh though, I do like Amiee!

Oh gosh...is it going to be that easy? lol

:lol: it may be!! i think it spelt amy is a little boring (no offence to those amy's out there :hide: )

The other one I like is Natalie......

Amelie
Amelia
Sarah
Emma
Emily
Audrey
Nina
Eleanor
Samantha
Donna
Francis
Fiona
Felicity

Aimee is my prefered spelling

Good luck

would it really matter if DD name ended in a and middle name with Melissa?
My DS1 is Nixon Milton, but we very rarely use his middle name, mostly in formality things, christening, enrolments etc
and seeings both your DD end in a it would be nice to follow on with that!

Congrats on girl #3!!

How about
Sarah
Rachel
Sophie
Caitlin
Kristen

I like Aimee too :)

I love girls names with the --a --a combination. I think they are beautiful, like Isabella Diana, or Erica Jacinta. So musical. I really can't do it though, since our surname starts with A! Shame.

Imogen
Alice
Annabelle
Jasmine
Adelaide
Kirsten
Lucy
Greta
Elizabeth

mmm .... ok so we havent settled on a name, far from it! Dh threw up a suggestion again...Megan.

Does Megan Melissa sound funny?

I think I really like Jessica Melissa.... again another 'a' 'a' name! And is Jessica still really popular?

We had Kirsten and Kristen on our list for last time...still a hit with me, however DH thinks its too close to his cousin Christine (who we see not a great deal often!)
WDYT?

We are still trying to name our 3rd bub... c-section booked on Tues! Anyhow...I really like the name Aimee, and it goes nicely with Melissa. Not keen on Megan in combination with Melissa.

Megan Mellisa doesnt flow that well BUT both names are very rarely said together that if you like it go with it.

ooohhhh, i lURVE LURVE LURVE Kristen Melissa!!!!!!

i like the name Aimee but im being bias as im Amy (the boring way, mum wanted it spelt aimee but dad said it was to hard and he wouldnt remember :wall: lol)

i to think it would be nice to have the first name end in an "a" it would sound nice with your other two girls. and also like the --a --a combo

but heres some suggestions anyway :)

Sienna Melissa
Isabella Melissa
Cassandra Melissa
Anya Melissa
Taylor Melissa
Ashleigh Melissa

All beautiful suggestions!

The first one that came to me was Paige Melissa Howell.

Good luck with your decision!

Aimee lurve that spelling....

Ayla
Kayla
Tayla

Ummmm
Brydie

Thanks girls...am writing them all down and will sit with dh and nut it out. Will come back with a list of possibilities:)

LOL... this is harder than we thought!
So last night we looked at the list.... this is what we have come up with...

Jessica Ellen (Ellen is dhs grandmothers name). Ok so my name isnt the middle name, but it doesnt worry me too much!

Or Jessica Amy.

So... Olivia, Rebecca and Jessica... sound ok? Is Jessica hugely popular these days? I know Olivia sort of is. Rebecca isnt that I know of. However I dont want to come across hundreds of Jessicas...or Amys for that matter! I see Amy has taken off recently again.

just looked at the BDM website...didnt realise Olivia was #1 last year! Funny i havent really met too many Olivias! Rebecca isnt on the 100 list and jessica is #20.

I really liked someones suggestion of Sienna Melissa :D

Hope you find a name you can agree on :D FWIW DH and I couldn't agree on a boys name so had like 4 names that went with our middle name (Henry) and when DS was born I asked DH what his name was and he said "Noah Henry". Once he was out, and we saw him, then name was decided :D

oh i so hope you put your name Melissa as a middle name as i so wish i had of done the same when i found out my sister took insult that we named our only child's middle name after her ... so PLEASE yes give your DD your name, and what a pretty name Melissa is :D

my only advice would be not to name your DD Laura as my SIL who was a Melissa had a sister named Laura as her Mum was a mad " Little on the Praire " TV show, so then name Laura came from the actress in the show's Melissa Gilbert character (so you can see where she got both the names, lol)

Kaitlyn Melissa (Kate or Katie/y)

What about Kaimee Melissa?

I cant tell you how hard thishas been...luckily we have a bit of time up our sleeves. So dh admitted he doesnt actually like Jessica as a name...nor Ellen...so why suggest it! I have been racking my brain!

Kaimee....mmm nope sorry! LOL...
Kaitlyn is not bad.
I like Kristen Melissa and I think Kaitlyn Melissa works well.
Ok now to breath! Hopefully we will see the kid and say yep its a ......!

.... if it makes you feel better we had two combinations of names to choose from and she was named 3hours after she was born ... it wasn't hard to choose at all, we weren't in any rush and it made the decision so much easier when we laid eyes on her (in a lovely odd way we felt the name come from our hearts too) :D

Ooooh Kristen is such a pretty name and goes so well with your other DD's name :dance:

(P.S - LOL my DP is an Adam too, and he lived in Springvale too for many years before we moved here to Ballarat 5yrs ago)

What about Kiersten (pronounced keer-sten) as an alternative to kristin/kirsten

Kiersten Melissa

i had a friend years ago who's sister two DD's who were a Rebecca & a Jessica (Jessica being the oldest), it was the late 80's and both names were extremely popular names !!
... they got Beck or Jess !!
i have to say took me ages to get their names the right way around cause to me the names seemed somewhat similar with 'e' as the 2nd letter and the 'ca' on the end of both their names.

Aahh.. well! We have spoken in depth and although I love Kristen its too close to his cousins name Chirstine..:(

So we asked dd1 what babys name i s and she insists on Amy. SO I am thinking it is going to be that because with all the suggestions we give her she still turns around and says... No I want Amy!

Amy Melissa!

well straight away i thought of Ebony Melissa Howell sounds good with Olivia Grace Howell and Rebecca Vicki Howell but i also like the suggestion Paige Melissa Howell
