Baby name needed

I love the name Lily. (I talked my son into naming his puppy Lily, wonder if her paws smell like Fritos, oops other thread) I like Lily Grace and Lily Jane.
Congratulations by the way.

We named our 11 month old Lilly Grace (yes 2 'l's). I think it sounds very melodic.

My great niece is named Lily Grace.
I like Rose.

Check a few websites of top baby names- if you see your choice in the top 10 or 20, you can bet there will be quite a few duplicates when kids get to school. Kate's preschool class had 3 girls with the same first name, so they all had to go by their last initial.

Until we moved here, Will was one of 2 Wills in a school of 1300 kids, but if you looked at the top 10 names for 1992, there were LOTS of kids with those names.

I checked these websites and Lily Skunkape is not in the top 100!!!

One site said that my boys names were #20 and #23 There were in the 80's when we picked them! I guess we are trendsetters!

An interesting chart...

This is so cool...look at just the boys or girls names and track names through the years. You can see how popular Mary was back in the 1800's and Jenny/Jessica in the 80's. You can also click on the individual names.

I would stick with a name derived from your own family.

Imagine when the kid grows up and says, "How did you choose my name?"

And you will say, "Well, sweetie, your first name is Lily because your daddy and I thought of you as a beautiful, pure flower...and your middle name came from a guy named Skunkape on a message board."


.

Well, we were going to ask Skunkape to be godfather, but with that attitude we're having serious second thoughts.

Lilly Anne or Lilly Marie. They just sound right coming out of the mouth.

My family uses maiden names as kid's middle names. Girls get their mother's maiden name, boys get the maiden name of a grandmother. Fun way to keep names alive and have a unique middle name.

If you want a more mainstream name, I vote for Rose or Marie as a middle name.

When I was in Nashville, I did a lot of work with Harpeth Hall Academy and it seemed like ALL the girls had those names--Anne Miller Smith, Mary Lancaster Buchanon, Jane Turner Johnson--and they all went by both names. It was almost funny, coupled with the uniforms and identical haircuts! Then they would get married and be Mary Lancaster Buchanon Masterson.

I'm making fun of it, but I always LOVED it.

Lilly Anne or Lilly Marie. They just sound right coming out of the mouth.

I vote Lilly Anne, Lilly Jane, or Lilly Claire. My second child was going to be Claire Anne until he came out with that thing. I like the one syllable names with Lilly the best. Aren't you so glad you asked???

My peagirl is always the only Bryn in her class, grade, school, which I love on one hand, but...don't even ask her how many times a new teacher or receptionist at a doc's office has called her Bryan.

OMG, can I relate to that one. You know my daughter's name, Philippa. Doesn't it look like it has an A at the end? Duh! I can't even count the number of times the receptionist at the doctor/dentist/school has looked at me like I'm a wicked mother while they're saying "You named your daughter Philip? A boy named Sue didn't have it any worse than this girl named Philippa!!!

No matter what name you give the kid, someone will mix it up through mispronunciations, typos etc!

In high school some computer or data entry clerk managed to combine my name, common nickname, and added a few extra letters. I ended up on some mailing list w/ this new name and there were hilarious results.

Dad wanted me to take the NAACP up on their scholarship offer and teach them a lesson about stereotyping :roll:.

So true...older people pronounce Dylan's name Die-lynn WTH. Sam has a pretty common name but believe it or not all through elem school there was never another Samantha in her whole school. There are a couple in middle school though.

Ok, here are mine. I like the way these combinations flow...

Lily Stacia

Lily Zara (means blooming flower)

Lily Michele

Lily Suzanne

Lily Justine (that might be too popular/trendy right now)

Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner!

I love the name Lily. I like Lily Grace and my niece's name is Grace (Gracie) I just love that name and word. I also love the idea of using family names....had I ever had children (of course it would have been a girl) her name would have been Savannah Elizabeth after my two great grandmothers. I like the tradition of passing a family name down from generation to generation.

I have a nephew named Bryn, we are very Irish and he NEVER runs into any other classmate with that name!

As some of you may (or may not) know, Red Rocket and I are expecting our third child early November. We have decided to name her Lily, but can't really come up with a mddle name. Any suggestions?

Looooove Lily! Congrats!

I have friends at church that have adorable little girls named Brynne and Ashtynne.

Ooooo, Bryn. How pretty. What dork could mess up a beautiful name like that? My daughter's name is Kaelyn, but tons of people call her Caitlin, Kate Lynn or Kellen. I feel kind of bad because I know she's going to have problems her whole life with people pronouncing it properly.

(By the way, should anybody meet her and say hi, it's Scottish and pronounced KAY-linn. No brouge, though. She'll just look at you weird.)

My nephew is named Chesley. It was his great-grandfather's name (my grandfather,) who got it from his great-grandfather. In his seven short years of life, he has already been called "Chelsea" way too many times.

Chesley's dad, my brother is named Jody. (My mom loved the show "Family Affair.") He has always had trouble with mail addressed to him as Miss/Ms. As a result, I've always wanted to take some boys names back from the girls. I would love to have a bunch of boys named Ashley, Lauren, Leslie, Leigh, Shirley, Francis...

I lived with a Liliana for awhile. I messed things up pretty well though. One of those relationships that's so hot, it's bound not to last...

Go back to bed. You woke up too early.
