\nNames I am considering for middle names:<\/div>\nFrances (family reference)<\/div>\nJosephine<\/div>\nCorinne<\/div>\nMargaret<\/div>\nVictoria<\/div>\nHelena\/Helene (family reference)<\/div>\nNicole<\/div>\nMadeline<\/div>\n<\/div>\nPlease let us know what you think\u2026I know you get so many requests for help, but we would be so grateful to hear some of your advice!!<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThank you!<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\nand<\/div>\n\n\nI emailed you a few weeks ago about our new baby girl, due Feb. 8th (email below). \u00a0Since emailing you, we have made some progress, but I would be so grateful to have your input!!!<\/div>\n<\/div>\nBasically, we have it narrowed down to these names:<\/div>\nAdele<\/div>\nAudrey<\/div>\nLydia<\/div>\n<\/div>\n**My husband has also put Celia and Julia on his list, but I cannot get on board with these. \u00a0The “Seel-ya” sound and “Jool-ya” sound just don’t sit right with me, especially next to Vivian (our first daughter’s name).<\/div>\n<\/div>\nI still love everything about Adele, but just can’t make the commitment to it 100%, and my husband is still mulling it over. \u00a0We both agree that Adele\/Audrey have a similar feel, and my husband says Audrey is easier for him to say out loud. \u00a0I think that might be just because Adele is a name that is new to us…we don’t know anyone with that name, so he isn’t used to saying it. \u00a0With Audrey, I am still worried that it is too popular and\/or could be come too popular, plus the name Aubrey is so similar and it is becoming quite popular.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThen there is Lydia. \u00a0She is back on the list. \u00a0Lydia was a possible contender when we were naming our first daughter, but it really wasn’t discussed for long as we pretty quickly decided on Vivian. \u00a0This is a name that I really like, but I have waffled on it. \u00a0Right now, I am liking it more the more I think about it. \u00a0However, I am worried that this name also could be come too popular. \u00a0I love the idea of a 3-syllable name that ends in A. \u00a0For some reason that flow just sounds good with Vivian to me, and Lydia is the stand-out in that category right now.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWhat do you think? \u00a0I would love the opportunity to hear your thoughts!! \u00a0At this point we are open to other suggestions for our short list, these are just the 3 names we both agree on at this point. \u00a0We would be so grateful to have your input!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/p>\n
I suggest Eleanor, with nicknames Ellie or Nora. Eleanor Roach; Vivian and Eleanor.<\/p>\n
Of your three finalists, my favorite with Vivian is Lydia.<\/p>\n

Name update!<\/strong> K. writes:<\/p>\n
I just wanted to send your our name update!\u00a0 Thank you very much for posting our name quandary.\u00a0 The comments from your readers really truly helped us sort out our thoughts & opinions.\u00a0 We came very close to selecting Audrey, and really gave Cynthia good consideration as well (Cynthia was a late addition to our list).\u00a0 Lydia kept popping up in our discussions, but neither of us felt it was the right name for this baby girl.\u00a0 We deliberated for what felt like forever, and I felt frustrated.\u00a0 It seemed like we would never fall in love with a name.\u00a0 Because of that, we decided to start fresh, so started over from scratch around Christmas.\u00a0 We both went back through name lists trying not to over think things, and just write down any name that we liked.<\/p>\n
Back during the early stages of our name search, I had added Juliet to my list and my husband had Julia on his.\u00a0 He couldn’t come around to Juliet, and I liked Juliet much better than Julia, so we left those names and just moved on.\u00a0 Well, in our second round, my husband added Juliet to his list…he couldn’t remember why he hadn’t liked it in the first place.\u00a0 Frustrating, yes(!!), but also exciting because we had a new name we both liked.\u00a0 We tried it out for the last few weeks of the pregnancy, and there really was no other contender, but for some reason I felt like I couldn’t commit until we saw her.<\/p>\n
Well, Juliet Frances was born on February 4th!\u00a0 Frances was chosen because it is a family name, and now both of our girls have middle names that honor a family member.\u00a0 We are very happy with our choice, and feel like she is already growing into the name!\u00a0 We love Vivian & Juliet together as sister names, and even though I am not a big nickname person, I do love the idea of “Viv & Jules”.<\/p>\n
