Hi-<\/p>\n

We are expecting a baby girl late May\/early June and are having so much trouble deciding on a name. She has two brothers, Carter Justin and Holden Everett. Our last name rhymes with cow but starts with the S sound. As you can tell by our sons’ names, we like uncommon names that are somewhat familiar as surnames with simple spelling. We may or may not have a fourth child.<\/p>\n

For our baby, I prefer a three syllable name with a single syllable middle name but hubby likes a two-syllable first name. It can’t end with an S sound because then the first-last name will not flow well. We would like something feminine and preferably not unisex. Names we’ve considered so far are Alaina (because I love the nn Lainie), Cassidy and Delia. Hubby doesn’t like Alaina because it sounds too Eastern European and there are too many different ways to spell this name. The other two names don’t quite feel right. I also like Sydney but will probably rule it out because it’s unisex. Other names I like but are too unconventional for the hubby are Everly, Avalon, Aria.<\/p>\n

Any suggestions you have would be very much appreciated!<\/p>\n

Thank you!

Because you like Alaina\/Lainie and Delia, I suggest Delaney. Three syllables, doesn’t end with S. Currently used almost exclusively for girls in the United States: the Social Security Administration reports 1,220 new baby girls and 8 new baby boys given the name in 2014. It’s a surname name like Carter and Holden. You’d still have the nickname Lainie, or Del if you prefer.<\/p>\n

Name update!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you so much for your input. Hubby and I decided we wanted her nn to be Ellie so it was down to Eleanor versus Elena. I feel like Eleanor is very classy so we ended up with Eleanor Rose.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
