My daughter is due May 30 and the sex of baby is unknown. She has a daughter Addison Philips Hopes (Addie), born 2008. If she has a boy it will be Robert William Hopes III. Nicknames are possible , Trey, Trip, Will or Liam, none of which they really like. If it is a girl they are having trouble finding one they both like. A few possible are Taylor, Reese, Payton. She likes Mackenzie, Tori, Emerson, Ansley. They would like to use the middle name Lynn a family name but it sounds very country with some first names. Could you give suggestions for boy nicknames and girls names.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Is “Rob” already taken by her husband? That’s my favorite nickname for Robert. I also like the old nickname Robin, but in my area that cause confusion with the girl’s name. I know a baby Robert who goes by Bert\/Bertie, and it’s surprisingly adorable. But I think in this case, if Rob is what the dad uses, I would use William\/Will: it’s simplest, and William is a great and currently-well-liked name. They don’t love it, but this is one of the main problems with Sr.\/Jr.\/III stuff: generally it’s a name the parents wouldn’t have otherwise chosen, so there’s bound to be a “meh” feeling about the choice. That will likely fade as whatever nickname they choose BECOMES their darling baby boy and doesn’t even seem like a name anymore.<\/p>\n
Girl name possibilities:<\/p>\n
Avery
Braelyn
Brinley
Cadence
Delaney
Devyn
Ellery
Jaelyn
Jordyn
Keely
Kerrigan
Kierra
Kiley
Maren
Mckenna
Paisley
Shelby
Skyler
Sydney
Teagan<\/p>\nSome of the names on this list wouldn’t work at all with the middle name Lynn: Braelyn, for example. I included them anyway in case your daughter and son-in-law change their mind about the middle name, or in case they want to use it as part of the first name instead (Braelynn, Jaelynn).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
