Hi~ We are in need of some opinions. We are expecting girl number 3 on August 12. We currently have Eva Joy and Addison Louise. Although we hardly ever call her Addison, always Adi. We decided on the three letters because it seemed more simple for our crazy long lastname sounding like Farn-brook. The first two names were so easy, as the girls were named by the 20 week ultrasound. I’m feeling uneasy about not having this one named yet! :) We had a boy name all ready to go… Tate.<\/p>\n
I like the idea of using a vowel again, and Isabel has always been on our top. Calling her Izzy. But then I fear if we would ever have more, would we always have to use vowels? And would they all have to be matchy-matchy? We really like Isabel because of the meaning of the name. That doesn’t really have a lot to do with our decision, obviously with Addison meaning “Adam’s son.”<\/p>\n
I really like more the old fashioned names with a modern twist. Some top names right now are;<\/p>\n
Isabel
\nCora (one of our friends recently used this name, its pretty much out)
\nAurora(we live just over 30 minutes from the town with that name)
\nBrynna-call her bri or bryn<\/p>\n
As far as my husband goes, he loves the long name that inevitably will result in a more masculine nickname, not that its a bad thing, I just do not prefer it.
\nJosephine-Jo\/Josie
\nSamantha-Sam\/Sami
\nDesiree-Des\/Desi(my fav. of his)
\nIsabel
\nAs far as middle names, we will use a family name. Jane, Joan (Jo-ann) Ruth, Goldie. That’s not so much of an issue, as we feel we can find a family name that will go somewhere. (We have big families)<\/p>\n
Names that are out are the gender neutral names.
\nTaylor
\nJordan
\nPeyton
\nAlong those lines.<\/p>\n
Thanks for the advice!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
If Isabel is your top choice, I think you should use it: it’s great with Eva and Addison, and it’s great with your surname. I like Isabel Jane best. I THINK you’re safe with the vowel pattern, or at least I wouldn’t have noticed it. I’m interested to know if other people would have noticed it or not, so let’s have a poll over to the right (and let’s hope it works this time—the last poll did seem to finally start working, but my confidence has been shaken). [Poll closed; see results below.] [P.S. Clearly it did not work. I’m keeping this here because how did this even happen?.]<\/p>\n

Name update!<\/strong> Deb writes:<\/p>\n Hi! We delivered a healthy baby girl on Friday August 13. We named her Vivienne Joan. We decided against Isabel because it was too popular and we were trying to avoid another Addison. My husband loved the name, and I loved the nn Vivi. So we now have baby Vivi.
