Here is our issue:
I am a proud mama to 2 little girls, Poppy (Penelope) Isabella and Paisley Savannah. Our last name is Powers. Well, we are now expecting baby number 3 in September and I cannot decide whether to go with another P name or not if this is a girl. I don’t want their names to sound cheesy, and I definitely gravitate toward P names because I love the double P sound in the first and last names, particularly for female names. Do you think a 3rd daughter will feel “left out” if we don’t use a p name? This is most definitely our last child.
So far, names in the running for a girl are:
1. Piper (my husband loves this name)
2. Posey
3. Mariposa and call her Posey
4. Phoebe
Do you have any non-P name suggestions that go well with Poppy and Paisley?
If the baby is a boy, his name will probably be Theo Caspian Powers, which I love.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nI think if I were you I’d stick with a P name for a third girl. I like Piper best of your options because I think it’s the best in the line-up: Posey is so similar in sound to Paisley when said out loud (I found myself swapping the sounds: Paisy and Posely), and Phoebe suddenly feels like it SHOULD be pronounced with a P sound instead of an F sound. Other P names to consider:<\/p>\n
Padget Powers. Poppy, Paisley, and Padget.<\/p>\n
Patience Powers. Poppy, Paisley, and Patience.<\/p>\n
Persia Powers. Poppy, Paisley, and Persia.<\/p>\n
Philippa Powers. Poppy, Paisley, and Pippa.<\/p>\n
Peyton Powers. Poppy, Paisley, and Peyton.<\/p>\n
Polly Powers. Poppy, Paisley, and Polly. (This might be too close to Poppy—but it helps that Poppy is actually Penelope: Penelope, Paisley, and Polly.)<\/p>\n
My two favorites are Padget and Philippa: Padget because I only recently heard of that name and I think it’s adorbs, and Philippa because I like the way she can draw attention to the P sound with Pippa, or downplay it with the F sound of Philippa.<\/p>\n
