Hi, Swistle!<\/p>\n

I was hoping you and your lovely readers could help me name our second little girl, due the day before Thanksgiving. Our last name is Br0wning and we have a 2 year old daughter named Georgia Mae.<\/p>\n

Our current list is down to about four names but each has an issue that one of us can’t seem to shake. I think our general problem is that we heard the name Georgia, fell in love, and never looked back. That certainly isn’t the case this time and keeps me searching for that one elusive name I’ve either never heard or need to hear in just the right moment. I know searching for a perfect name can be an exercise in futility but it seems my pregnant brain is up for the challenge.<\/p>\n

Here is our working list and the issues with each. The middle name will either be Joy or Joan.<\/p>\n

Ella- my husband loves this but it’s popular and will probably continue to gain popularity, especially with George Clooney giving the name to one of his twins<\/p>\n

Ruby- my husband dislikes the fact that it rhymes with boobie and fears she will be mercilessly teased in school<\/p>\n

Lydia- this is my favorite name but husband isn’t in love<\/p>\n

Rose- our last name makes me think of a dying rose and I can’t get past that imagery. It’s also one syllable and doesn’t sound great with the middle name choices.<\/p>\n

Other names we’ve vetoed for various reasons:<\/p>\n

Della
\nMiriam
\nHazel
\nNora
\nKate
\nJune
\nEliza
\nStella
\nGemma
\nWilla
\nJosephine
\nVivian<\/p>\n

Thank you so much for your help!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

From your list my favorite is Ruby, followed by Lydia. I don’t know if the rhyming thing with Ruby is an issue or not; I would not have thought of it, but perhaps someone who has a Ruby in the family could weigh in. I agree with you about the problem with Rose combined with your surname, and Ella does not seem to me like the right type of name here: it seems too light and insubstantial next to the name Georgia.<\/p>\n

I’d add:<\/p>\n

Augusta
\nBeatrix
\nBianca
\nCecily
\nCeleste
\nClaudia
\nCordelia
\nEleanor
\nEloise
\nEsther
\nFiona
\nFlorence
\nFrances
\nHarriet
\nHenrietta
\nLouisa
\nMatilda
\nMinerva
\nPhilippa
\nSimone
\nSylvia
\nWinifred<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
