We are having a girl!

[breannajai]

We just found out today we are having a girl! We are so thrilled but while we had a list of two boy names (Ezra and Graham), we still have quite a few girls names and would love to get some help on finding a name for our new daughter.

The girls list is as follows:
Beatrice
Caroline
Chloe (a bit worried about the popularity)
Eleanor
Magnolia (does it sound too hippy?)

If it helps, our last name starts with a P, is 3 syllables, and ends with ss. Middle names are not at all set but to give you an idea of some we are considering West (mother's maiden name), Veda, Freya, and Posey.

I like Caroline best. Congrats on your daughter! We are having a girl as well and I can't wait!

Congratulations!

I think all your names are beautiful, Chloe and Eleanor are my favourites though. I also love Beatrice, but as your surname ends in -ss, it will be repetitive, Beatrix would be better. Magnolia is growing on me, I don't think it's too hippy, it just doesn't feel quite like a name to me yet.

Beatrice - very pretty, I like with most of your middle names too
Caroline - lovely name, understated but classic and elegant, Caroline West is a nice combo
Chloe - i think its a bit too popular, maybe try Cleo, Zoe, Zoa, Clodagh (Cloh-da), or Clara, or you could try other short greek names à la Pia, Calla, Chara, Charis, Chloris (or Clarissa), Delia, Toula, or Tana.
Eleanor - like it, classic but pretty, Eleanor Roosevelt connection
Magnolia - pretty, a bit eccentric but not hippy because it feels regal and stately

I like Eleanor and Magnolia best. I don't think Magnolia sounds too hippy, plus she can always go by Maggie too.

Congratulations! My favorites on your list are Magnolia and Caroline. Magnolia sounds good with middle name West, but I wouldn't pair it with Veda or Freya because of the -a endings, and Magnolia Posey is a bit too gardeny for my liking. I think Caroline sounds good with all of your middle name options except Posey. That's my two cents, for what it's worth. Good luck!

I love:
Eleanor Freya
Caroline Posey
Beatrice Posey

[kala_way]

Oooh, Magnolia Veda P----ss would be awesome! Lovely flow, I think the the -a endings sound fabulous together

Beatrice wouldn't work with your last name

[mischa]

1 Eleanor Veda (works best with Graham rather than Ezra as they would share initials)
2 Caroline Posey (works with both names)
3 Magnolia West (works best with Graham rather than Ezra as they share similar endings)
4 Beatrice Posey (Beatrix would be better with your surname)
5 Chloe Freya/Veda (Chloe West or Chloe Posey just aren't ideal).


I'm really loving Magnolia West nn Maggie or Nola!

With a possible future Graham or Ezra, and with your last name, I like Eleanor.
Eleanor West P...
I think Beatrice Veda is wonderful too, but not sure about it with Ezra. With Graham, sure.
