Baby Name Poll
Simone vs. Marlena vs. Larkin
We’re narrowing down our little girl’s name, and could use some new opinions. Here are our top choices. She will be joining big brothers, Griffin and Paxton. Middle name for all of us is my maiden name (Eriksen) so the name needs to stand alone with our short last name, Hurd. Thanks for your input - new suggestions are welcome as well.
Marlena (pr mar-LAY-na) - original German spelling is Marlene, but I’m afraid it will be pronounced mar-LEEN, which I do not like. I’ve also seen it spelled Marlaina or Marlayna but don’t want to ’make up’ a spelling. This name is somewhat significant because hubby’s deceased father was Mark, and my father is Karl. We like the nicknames Lainey and Marli.
Larkin - I think this name flows well with our boys’ names, and is spunky and fresh. I worry that it may be too masculine? Also, not coming up with any great nicknames.
Simone (pr si-MONE)
Maren (pr MARE-in)
Penrose - Traditionally a male name, but with ’Rose’ in it, we think it could be a good fit for a girl. Nicknames could be Posy or Rosie.
Thanks,
Karla & Josh
