Baby Name Poll Results

They hate all those? Well, they’re all pretty, I think. What kind of names do they suggest?

I love Cordelia nn Cora.
A suggestion: don’t discuss names with your family, just keep it between you and your husband. Afterall, you are the ones naming the baby. Believe me, you will avoid many arguments between you and your family. Good luck!

Do you like anything they suggest? maybe a combo of somethign you like and they like.. though the only one you really need to consider and convince is hubby

What about Karalyn nn Kara. I think it’s a nice name for a kid and an adult. I love the spunky spelling.

I love Phoebe and really like both Cordelia and Caroline. I also love Rory but only on a boy. Viviane with this spelling would be nice but I personally much prefer Vivienne (with the -enn ending rather than the -ann). Vivi is an adorable nickname for it. Phoebe Cordelia would be gorgeous.

If you go on www.nymbler.com you can type in some of the names you like and it will give you other options that have a same feel.

If you really love a name though, I would not let family have a great influence on you. Often I think once the baby is here and they are used to hearing "Phoebe" or "Caroline" the name will grow on them and they won’t be able to see the baby as anything else. I had a friend whose parents were horrified when they announced they’d be naming their daughter Opal. However, within a few hours of Opal’s birth her mom said, "You know the name Opal has really grown on me".

I like Phoebe.
I agree, do not let family members discourage you. Everyone has different taste. No one liked the name I had for my son, but I didn’t change it.

I’m a grandmother and I would never tell my sons and daughters-in-law what to name their children. I have usually made suggestions as in lists of names to give them names to choose from when they said they were having trouble......but only lists....never a specific name and the lists didn’t happen if they didn’t ask for help. I think especially first time parents discuss too much with other family members and that opens the door for too much interference. You just decide what you want to name your child and they will come around or not. That’s their problem. I’ll bet they will love the child whether they love the name or not.

Out of your names, I like these possibles:

Phoebe Christine nn Bea
Caroline Savannah nn Cara or Carrie
Cordelia Mariel nn Delia

The first thing I did when I found out we were having a baby is tell my husband and everyone we knew that we would not be revealing the name until he/she was born. I don’t care what family/friends/the world thinks about the name. As long as my husband, my baby (hopefully) and I like it no one else’s opinion matter. Tell your family they had/will have their chance to pick a baby’s name when they had their own kids. They need to back off. Tell your husband it’s none of their business. Go with your gut, your choices are beautiful!

the only family memberwho matters when choosing the name of your child is your husband. Maybe if he doesnt like your choices heshould come up witha few of his own and see how you feel about his thoughts.

I love Caroline, Caraline, Karalyn this name is on my list. My husband and I decided not to discuss baby name choices with our families as to not get unwanted feedback. We make a list together both adding names we like, Then we look at the list for weeks as either of us might start to like a name the other chose, Finally we each assign 2 ticks for a name we love, 1 tick for a name we like and 0 for a name disliked there may be a standout name at this stage or a very short list of names with 3 or 4 ticks.
