It's a GIRL! And now we need a list..

[jfpetey]

So this whole pregnancy we have been sure it was a boy. Like, we only talked about boy names, looked at boy things, and planned for a boy nursery. Turns out we were totally wrong haha. Now that the shock has started to wear off, we are in serious need of names. I have very few girl names that I love and the ones that DH loves are definitely NMS.

My names are:
Maeve (top contender at the moment)
Penelope
Wren
Lark
June (My BIL and his wife have already "called" this one though)

His names:
Ella
Emily
Elizabeth

We would love some suggestions that go along with these. Also, if there are any serious issues with the names we do like, please feel free to point them out to me!

Seems like your style is a bit classic with a trendy spin, and his are more classic cutesy.

I've never been a fan of Maeve, but I think maybe I'm pronouncing it wrong. To me, it's like May with a "V" on the end. But that's just personal taste ^^

Maybe one of these will spark an idea?

Madeleine
Mae/May
Geneva
Mercy
Arrietty (updated version of Harriet)
Poppy (alternative to Penelope)
Penny (same as above)
Alouette (Lettie, Lulu, Allie possible NNs)
Jane
Johanna
Justine
Bardot
Bronte
Vita
Emerson (Emmy, Emma)
Elizabella
Cora
Clarabelle
Emmelina
Hannah
Lilla
Eva
Evelina
Evanna

Congrats and Good luck!

How about Maeve Elizabeth?

[vivimay]

I like Maeve better as a middle name, maybe paired with something a little more straightforward. Emily Maeve has a nice balance. If June is taken, how about May/Mae? Eve may appeal to your husband, since he seems to favor "E" names. I also like Elizabeth paired with one of the names from your list--Elizabeth Wren or Elizabeth Lark. I'm partial to the nn Eliza but there are many other options of course.

I love all of yours, and find his choices to be inoffensive but really, really boring.

Suggestions:

Elowen (I've seen this one tossed around on the boards a bit lately, but I don't think that it's in the database yet. It's a Cornish name meaning "elm tree.")
Eliza (This is obviously really similar to his choices, but I think the vibe of it is closer to your choices. It has more spunk.)
Elinor / Eleanor "Nell"
Calla
Laurel
Eloise / Eloisa
Nola
Lorelei
Elspeth / Elspet
Neve
Dare (Like the author Dare Wright.)
Lane
Briar
Honor
Romilly
Estella / Estelle
Verity
Juna / Djuna
Rose
Eleri (or Ellery. They're pronounced slightly differently.)
Vera
Fife / Fyfe (or Fifer / Fyfer)
