My husband and I are expecting our first child, a baby girl, on December 23rd and she is going to be Baby Girl Alan at the rate we are going.  My husband likes very traditional names (which is perfectly fine by me) but we can&#8217;t find any name that we are in love with.  He thinks with the &#8220;L&#8221; sound of our surname that we shouldn&#8217;t give her a first name that also has an &#8220;L&#8221; sound in it, however we have found that a lot of first names have an &#8220;L&#8221; in it.  To add to our dilemma, we would really like her middle name to be a family name, and fortunately both our grandmother&#8217;s are Blanches so that was an easy decision but it means we are kind of set on having her middle name be Blanche.  <\/p>\n<p>We have two names that have remained on our possible list from the beginning, but would really like some other options or suggestions.  They are:<br \/>Samantha Blanche Alan<br \/>Rebecca Blanche Alan<\/p>\n<p>Names I like (that he has ex-nayed): Margaret, Madeline, Caitlyn<br \/>He hasn&#8217;t provided any other suggestions besides Samantha, however he doesn&#8217;t really like the nickname of &#8220;Sam&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for the help!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Audrey Blanche Alan<br \/>Geneva Blanche Alan<br \/>Marissa Blanche Alan<br \/>Meredith Blanche Alan<br \/>Miranda Blanche Alan<br \/>Rosemary Blanche Alan<br \/>Sabrina Blanche Alan<br \/>Veronica Blanche Alan<br \/>Victoria Blanche Alan<\/p>\n<p>One of my favorites from that list is Sabrina:  it&#8217;s similar to Samantha, but without the nickname.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anne writes: Help!
