Hi Swistle,<\/p>\n

Long time reader here! We are expecting our second (and likely final) child in April. Our son will be 2 when this little girl arrives, and we are very excited. Our last name sounds just like Such-inz, but the first letter is H.<\/p>\n

We were all over the place with names for our 1.5 year old son and didn’t end up deciding until day 2 of our (very strange, early Covid days) hospital stay. His first name is R0bert after my husband, and his middle name is a family name, H@ll. In order to keep things less confusing in our household and because we liked doing something a little different, he goes by his middle name. We live in the South, so this is somewhat common. Even so, I somewhat regret not giving him the first name H@ll because we have to clarify\/correct\/explain at every appointment, and it just feels a bit convoluted. I liked the flow of R0bert H@ll Such-inz more than H@ll R0bert Such-inz, but I don’t know if that was a strong enough reason.<\/p>\n

ANYWAY, moving forward, we now have a little girl to name! One of our favorite names is Nell, and my grandmother’s name was Eleanor. It seems like a miss to give a nickname-y name that could correspond with a lovely honor name (we also like the sound of Eleanor) and NOT use the full name, so we are thinking Eleanor, nn Nell, unless we are then approaching a similar, more-complicated-than-it-needs-to-be situation again like with our son.<\/p>\n

We also love Clare. It was my given middle name, and I love that it’s simple and feels bright. My spelling didn’t have an “i” in it, and that’s the way I prefer the name, but again…is that an annoying thing for her to have to swim counter-current on forever? It’s also so much more common than H@ll, but perhaps the shortness of both and the fact that at least H@ll is a common word doesn’t make it feel too problematic to me.<\/p>\n

Another top family name contender is Grace. Similar to Clare, I like its simplicity and well, grace.<\/p>\n

Other names we like are Emma and Eliza.<\/p>\n

What do you think? Any suggestions we’re missing? I think we can figure out a middle name fairly easily once we land the first.<\/p>\n

THANK YOU!<\/p>\n

I think the baby’s name is Eleanor (Nell) Clare Suchinz, Eleanor after your grandmother and Clare after you. (I SO WISH I had considered giving my daughter one of my names.) H@ll and Nell are similar, but because one is a middle name and the other is a nickname, that doesn’t bother me; and if it turns out to be an issue, Nell can go by Eleanor or Nora or Ellie or Lennie instead. And Eleanor\/Nell doesn’t seem anywhere near as complicated a situation as R0bert\/H@ll: Nell is an established nickname for Eleanor. And I don’t think she’s going to be much bothered by needing to spell her middle name occasionally. So I think this is a clear winner: a beautiful name packed with family significance.<\/p>\n

Hi Swistle! <\/p>\n

Baby girl arrived right on time and we are over the moon. We appreciated all your thoughts and the commenter thoughts but in the end went a slightly different way- Gr@ce Ele@nOr Suchinz. Will save Clare for a potential future baby! :) <\/p>\n
