Hi Swistle.
\nI’m Ellen and my husband is Allan and we know we sound absurd together. I’m going to withhold our last name for reasons that will become clear but it’s similar to Gray. We have a four year old daughter, Francesca Alessandra, who goes by Frankie. and a two year old daughter, Phillipa Eleanora, who goes by Pip. we love their names–long and lacy, and also short and sweet. I gave birth to our third daughter yesterday. We had settled on a name early in the pregnany–Josephina Octavia. Jojo for short. So….I call my parents and deliver the news, and this, Swistle, is how I learned that in the 80s my father had a years long affair with a woman named, of course, Josephine. So obviously we can’t use the name now! I dont particularly care about my father’s feelings–I’m going to need some therapy to process this whole thing–but I am not going to do that to my mom. As if giving birth in a pandemic wasnt bad enough!
\ncan you and your commenting team maybe come up with some names for us? I cant even remember whwat was on our shortlist early in the pregnancy before we committed to a name but I think it included–
\nHenrietta
\nGabriella
\nMarietta
\nTabitha
\nJulietta<\/p>\n

we would be so very grateful for any help.
\nThank you!
\nEllen, Allan, Frankie, Pip, and “The Baby”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Swistle! thanks so much to all of your wonderful commentators! we chose a name from one of the suggestions–as soon as i saw it i fell in love. Introducing Lucinda Octavia “Gray” aka Lulu and we are thrilled. thank you so much for helping to restore family harmony (i mean its still gonna take some therapy, but it’s a start!)
\nlove,
