    Overwhelmed by Naming Baby

    I am currently five months pregnant with my third child which we just found out is a little girl. We had only planned for two and now I am feeling overwhelmed by naming this child. When we were naming my daughter we loved and ended up naming her Emerson Olivia. My son is named William Elias. For my second daughter I love Scarlett, Genevieve or Lorelei, but our last name is Green and everyone thinks that Scarlett Green sounds like two color names. My husband HATES the name Lorelei which is bizarre because we were in complete agreement on the other two's names. Suggestions and ideas would be greatly appreciated so that I can calm my pregnancy craziness.

    Congrats on baby #3!

    Since Lorelei isn't appealing to hubby, how about

    Larissa
    Laurel
    Lavender
    Lenora
    Lillian
    Loretta
    Louisa
    Luciana

    Good luck!

    What about Genevieve Scarlett Green? That way you get Scarlett in there and could even call her that but it doesn't sound like two color names. I don't really know if this would make a difference but you might get more responses if you post in the girls names forum!

    My recommendation is ...

    Emerson [and] Carrington
    Emerson [and] Delaney

    ... three-syllable boys' or unisex surname-names for your girls.

    Emerson, William, and Parker (like lori johnson said unisex surnames)
    Emerson, William, and Genevieve (you like the name Genevieve) "Eve/Genny"
    Emerson, William, and Laurel (Laurel is kindo of like Lorelei)
    Emerson, William, and Madeleine (Madeleine sounds like a name you two would like) "Maddi/Maddy/Maddie/Addi/Ada..."
    Emerson, William, and Rebecca (same as Madeleine) "Becca"
    Emerson, William, and Leah (same as Madeleine and Rebecca)

    How about Waverly/Waverely? I've been coming across this name a lot recently here on Nameberry, and I think it's appealing. It isn't super girly, or very traditional - much like your daughter's lovely name. I think it would be fabulous paired with a girly mn though...again like your Emerson Olivia's name.

    Waverly Adele
    Waverly Kate/Katherine
    Waverly Laurel (I like what others have said about this being similar to Lorelei)
    Waverly Amelie/Amelia
    Waverely Charlotte (similar to Scarlett, which I have to agree, it a little much when paired with Green).

    Too bad your husband isn't fond of Lorelei, I think it is lovely, and makes a fabulous addition to the sibset. I also quite like Genevieve.

    Charlotte would be better than Scarlett and Lauren/Lauryn would be better than Lorelei. I love Genevieve, but I don't love it with your last name or with your sibset.
    The names you have picked out now are sooo frilly compared to Emerson's.
    Something else that is unisex or something that has a boyish nickname would be nice:

    Emerson, William and...
    Easton
    Evan
    Cailin (kaylin)
    Piper
    Leighton
    Morgan
    Quinn
    Ryanne or Rayanne
    Samara (Sam)
    Jovana (Jovie)
    Alexandra, Alexis, Alexa, Lexie (or Alex)
    Georgia, Georgina, Georgiana
    Victoria (Tori)
    Jacqueline
