Hi Swistle!<\/p>\n

We just found out after two boys we are having a girl. This will be our last. My husband (J) and I do not have a lot of names we like that overlap. With my second son we only had two names out of everything that we could even somewhat agree on.<\/p>\n

I feel like I have looked at every girl name and have trouble even finding anything I connect with. I had no problem making a list of 10+ boy names, but girls are tough. J usually only has a few suggestions and then will be the main person to pick the middle name.<\/p>\n

I’m looking for something not overly feminine and more girl next door. We had Riley picked for the other two pregnancies, but it feels used now even though J still loves it.<\/p>\n

My list:
\nRiley
\nHazel (I might convince him of this)
\nWillow (he’s so so)
\nDarcy (he says no)
\nKolby (he says this is cheese)<\/p>\n

His list:
\nRiley
\nLucy (not the worst not my favorite)<\/p>\n

Last name is Bevans without the B.<\/p>\n

Our boys are Finn and Sawyer.<\/p>\n

Thank you!<\/p>\n

I immediately wanted you to choose Thatcher, for Becky Thatcher, to go with the Tom Sawyer \/ Huck Finn theme. And actually, that’s pretty cute! Thatcher! But it may be more unusual than you’re looking for. Plus, since she’s the love interest rather than just the buddy-next-door, I guess I’d steer away from that for sibling names anyway.<\/p>\n

Or I wish Caddie Woodlawn were named CALLIE Woodlawn, because Callie would be great for a girl-next-door name, and the literary connection would be fun. Well, I suggest it anyway: Finn, Sawyer, and Callie. It could be short for Caroline, making it a Laura Ingalls Wilder reference.<\/p>\n

My definite favorite from your lists is Darcy: I think it has that girl-next-door sound, and goes great with the brother names; and I like how it gives you a new set of sounds (one of the downsides of Thatcher is that it repeats the ending of Sawyer). And it sounds similar to Lucy from your husband’s list! My hope is that you will be able to bring him around to Darcy: we get so many emails\/follow-ups that are “My husband says absolutely not to Name”\/”We used Name!”<\/p>\n

Another name that comes to mind is Darby—sort of a blend of Darcy and Kolby. Finn, Sawyer, and Darby.<\/p>\n

Or Shelby? Finn, Sawyer, and Shelby.<\/p>\n

I wonder if you’d like Aubrey. Finn, Sawyer, and Aubrey.<\/p>\n

Or Eliza, which is fun to say with the surname. Finn, Sawyer, and Eliza.<\/p>\n

Or Maisy\/Maisie. Finn, Sawyer, and Maisy\/Maisie.<\/p>\n

Or Lane. Finn, Sawyer, and Lane.<\/p>\n

Or Casey would be cute, and shares sounds if not style with Lucy. Finn, Sawyer, and Casey.<\/p>\n

Or Teagan. Finn, Sawyer, and Teagan.<\/p>\n

Or Delaney! Finn, Sawyer, and Delaney! I love that.<\/p>\n

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

Hi Swistle!<\/p>\n

I was so excited when you responded to my question and all of your suggestions were on point. I fought for Darcy or Maisie, but we came to a standstill and compromised on Willow for the majority of the pregnancy. Finally something clicked and we returned to our old faithful, Riley, for our third baby and only girl. It irks me a little it doesn’t stand out as a girl name from our boys, but it fits her perfectly.<\/p>\n

Please meet all 9lbs 14oz of our newest addition, Riley Willow.<\/p>\n
