I am due with my second girl in six weeks and absolutely do not have a name, not even one to consider! I am so lost that I’m afraid we won’t even have names to pick from when at the hospital!<\/p>\n
My first daughter is 3, named @rden M@e (middle name after my grandmother).
\nOriginally our requirements were we wanted another name that begins with an “A” but we have thrown that out at this point. We would like a name that has two syllables and does not leave room for a nickname. Because we have not been able to come up with such name, we are open to any suggestions!<\/p>\n
Here is where we are today:<\/p>\n
We would still prefer the name to have two syllables and not give room for a nickname. We would like to give our second daughter my middle name which is @nn.
\nOur daughter @rden keeps referring to her baby sister as Della. We don’t know where she got that name but she introduces my belly to everyone as her baby sister Della. We have had several people suggest to us to name the baby Della but that doesn’t work because we have an Ella in our extended family and I just don’t love the name.<\/p>\n
We like names that are not common but not made up and have found that we really like the names Neely and Landry but cannot use those names due to friends having named their children such names.<\/p>\n
Other names that have been suggested to us but we have turned down for some reason or another are:<\/p>\n
Carys
\nAnsel
\nSeren
\nGentry
\nHartley
\nKeelin
\nKeela
\nNoely
\nNora
\nRoslyn
\nReyna
\nReeve<\/p>\n
I provided these as a hopes to give you an idea of our naming style. Swistle, can you and your readers help us so that we can have at least ONE name to consider?!?<\/p>\n
We are desperate. Thank you for your consideration.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Name update!<\/strong> $kye writes:<\/p>\n Hi Swistle and Readers,<\/p>\n Please meet Della Joann. After we considered several names suggested by Swistle readers and strongly considered Maslyn, she was given the name her bigger sister gave her when we found out we were having a girl. We couldn’t get over that she would only refer to her as Della, so that was the name chosen after she was 5 hours old. The Jo is for the first two letters of dad’s first name and Ann is mom’s middle name. It is neat that we all got to attribute to her name. Hopefully she will like it when she gets older! Thank you for going along with us on the naming journey.<\/p>\n Here is the proud big sister, @rden, and Della. $kye writes: I am due with my second girl in six weeks and absolutely do not have a name, not even one to consider!
