My husband and I are expecting a baby girl around April 20th. We have really struggled with picking a final name and are just fine with having 2 or 3 choices and deciding when we meet this little lady- however picking 2-3 has proven difficult as well. Our last name is Cameron. We would like to give her a “classic” sounding name that grows well with her from infancy through late adulthood. Here are some first and middle names that we have been considering. Any advice is welcome!<\/p>\n
Firsts:
\nDella (great-grandmother)
\nMaeve
\nAdelyn
\nKatherine (nickname: Kay- honoring maternal grandmother)
\nWyeth<\/p>\nMiddles:
\nAdelyn
\nMaeve
\nHayes (family name)
\nKatherine<\/p>\nAny other name suggestions are appreciated and we are definitely looking for some advice in terms of name order.<\/p>\n
Thank you!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nIf you are looking for a classic-sounding name that will grow with her, Katherine’s your girl. I’m not sure, though, about the sound of Katherine Cameron. Similar classic names: Margaret, Elizabeth, Victoria.<\/p>\nFrom your lists, my (alphabetized) favorites are:<\/p>\n
Della Hayes Cameron
\nDella Katherine Cameron
\nDella Wyeth Cameron
\nKatherine Hayes Cameron
\nKatherine Maeve Cameron
\nMaeve Katherine Cameron
\nMaeve Wyeth Cameron<\/p>\nIt’s too soon to call it, but I’m worried Adelyn\/Adalyn\/Adalynn\/Adelynn\/Addilyn might end up clumped with Addison and Madison rather than with the classics. I’d suggest Madeline or Madeleine or Adeline or Abigail or Nadia or Adrianna or Adelaide.<\/p>\n
If you like Wyeth, I suggest Meredith and Willa and Gwyneth and Elizabeth and Athena and Bethany and Lilith. I’d like to suggest Bronwyn and Rowan and Arwen and Bethan, but I’m not sure they’re right with Cameron.<\/p>\n
