We empathize, Jen and Ben. As the Jennifer Garner Baby Name Watch enters Day Four Five Six Eight, we imagine you might be having a tough time settling on a name. It took us a long time to name our babies too.

First time around, we weren’t sure of the sex, so we couldn’t very well pick a name before the baby was born. And then, even when we had advance knowledge about gender, we wanted to see what the baby looked like before we made the final name decision.

And then, well, we just couldn’t decide. With so many great names out there, it can be really difficult to choose just one. And since you did such a great job naming Violet, you obviously have high standards to live up to.

We have a suggestion that might help. Check out all the great names people guessed you might name your new daughter. Phoebe? Frances? Clementine? Ivy? There are literally hundreds of awesome ideas in the comments section of the blog post below, in case you’re stuck.

Over 40 percent of the 1500 1800 1900 people who voted in the Jennifer Garner Baby Name poll guessed you would pick a Gently Old-Fashioned Name like Beatrice (another good choice), with another 35 percent opting for a sweet name like Grace. Color names such as Ruby or Scarlett: not so much.

Of course, you may have already decided on a name and are just keeping it to yourselves for now.  We understand (even though it’s driving us a little crazy).  We only hope you don’t decide to keep the name a secret for basically ever, the way Holly Hunter did with the names of her now-three-year-old twins.

For those of you reading this post who AREN‘T Ben and Jen, there’s still time to vote in our poll below and guess the Jennifer Garner baby name for a chance to win an advance copy of our new book, Cool Irish Names for Babies.

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck welcomed their second little girl yesterday, joining big sister Violet Anne. Since the new Jennifer Garner baby name has not been announced, and as Violet’s name has been so influential, we thought it would be fun to do a quick nameberry poll trying to guess the new baby’s name.

Violet’s name can lead in several different directions. Using Violet as a starting point, do you think the new Jennifer Garner baby name will be:

A GENTLY OLD-FASHIONED NAME– An old-fashioned name like Beatrice or Eliza would go perfectly with Violet.

A FLOWER NAME — A lot of starbaby watchers are guessing the new baby will have another flower name, such as Iris or Daisy.

A HIPSTER NAME — Violet definitely has hipster cred, and her little sister might be Annabel, Matilda, or June.

A SWEET NAME — Violet’s little sister might very sweetly be Grace or Willow.

A COLOR NAME — Violet is a color as well as a flower, so might the new Jennifer Garner baby be named Scarlett? Ruby? Turquoise?

What do you think? Vote here! And leave your best guess for the actual name. The first person who hits it on the nose (assuming there’s more than one) will get an advance copy of our upcoming book, Cool Irish Names for Babies!
