Ok, so I posted last week about the name Abrielle & got so many great responses, and have now decided against it! But now I'm having dreams about her coming early & not having any name!! :( I'm starting to freak out! Everything I come up with, DH shoots down, and I am not liking any of his either!
So a quick recap...Our second daughter is due too soon (time is flying by so fast!)...We had the hardest time naming our first, but we finally came up with Lilliana Bree, which I love so much! She mostly goes by Lilly, but sometimes we call her LillyBree, and even just LB. For the second we want another longer name that can be shortened. Also looking for middle name ideas, we haven't decided on anything at all yet, but since we like longer first names, we need short middle name ideas. We were considering Jade, but nothings set...Flow is really important to me, it all has to sound good together! Last name is Curry.
So, does anyone have any other suggestions on a less common frilly/fancy longer name that can be shortened? Keeping in line with the Lillliana Bree, LillyBree, LB kinda thing??
Thanks in advance for the help!!
I wouldn't try too hard to get all matchy with the initials and all. Seems like too many different nicknames going on. But here are some I think that would flow well with the middle name Jade:
Viviana (although VJ wouldn't be a good idea lol) Juliana, Tatiana, Gabriella, Tallulah (which I am sort of considering if, knock on wood, I have a 3rd girl), Sienna (which I love!! My lil one's name), Angelina, Arabella, Adriana, Mariana.
Come up with 3 names and then MEET your daughter. Try the names on for size. That's what I did for both of my children. I picked the name that suited them.
Sounds funny, I know. I wouldn't discuss names with family at all. I didn't like being told what I should name MY baby. So my hubby and I handled it this way, and I liked how it turned out.

aw, i think it's cute that your pregnancy stress is manifesting about nameless baby dreams!
many babies come into this world without the name nailed down. remember picabo street?
your perfect name will come to you, mama. try not to stress!

RELAX!!! I had names picked out both times, but never really committed until I met them. Good thing too, because the names we ended up with are not the ones I was thinking of. So, we have a Magdalena Mary Rose and a Theodore Aiden Fisher. I picked names by finding meanings that I liked and then looked at the names that meant that. Then, I found variations. But, really, I say wait and meet your little one before you name her. That way she can tell you what her name is. (maybe anyway). Good luck, and remember, you still have 10 weeks left
A guy that I work with has three daughters with lovely, feminine names...Alexandra, Gabriella, and Marissa. If our first had been a girl, the name would have been Phoebe Alexandria, our second (son) would have been Tabitha Regan. I like all of the short options with Alexandria- Alex, Ali, Lex or Lexi, Andria, Andi, Dria, Ria...plus, I love books, so I thought naming a daughter after a library would be cool :)
Hmmm...
Alexandra Jade Curry- AJ?
Honestly,
I don't think you should be asking people in this forum for advice on how to name your baby. It's such a personal choice, and it looks like you abandoned a name already that felt right to you before. You don't know if the moms who answer share your style and taste. What if the ones who didn't like your suggestions are the type who name their daughter Pepsi Cola... :)
Talk to people whose style and taste you like. Say the names you enjoy out loud. Strangers may not be able to help you here, but seem to make you even less secure with your choices.
How about Delani?
It sounds long and can be spelt a couple different ways...not even sure I spelled it correctly? My daughter had a girl in her preschool class year with that name and I think it s just so cute/ pretty!
It is pronounced like : Dah- lane-E
Delani Jade Curry sounds really good to me.
Good luck! Naming them was always THE hardest part for me!!!
Johanna
Savannah
Rhianna
Sienna (not so much)
Leanna (Lilly & Lea, LB & LJ)
Jade is kind of hard to match in my opinion, but I think the first name should end with an "a" sound.
Lela Briana
Leighton Breza
Langley Brisea
Brisea pronounced bri-ze-ahh, Breza is pronounced Bree-za I love that name.
Lela is really cute for a little girl.
Just some suggestions. I am sure 1 name will catch you and you will know that will be for your little girl! Congrats and Good luck!
I can't remember and don't have time to look at my response to your previous post but I remember mentioning Amelia (Mimi, Mia, Amy, lia, Millie, may), Francesca (Frankie, chess, chessie), and variations with the nickname Ellie (Eliza, Elizabeth, Ellison, Ellington, Ellery, Elsa, Ella, Elle). I also like Alexandra/Alessandra/Alexandria (Alex, dria, andria, Annie, Lexi, lex, sandy, Sandra, Allie), arianna (ari, ria, rianna, Anna), Adrianna, Adrienne (ady), Adeline/adelyn (ady, Lynn, Delia), Elizabeth (Eliza, Liz, Lizzie, Beth, Libby), julianna/Juliana (Jules, Julia, Julie, Ana/Anna, Ann, lia, liana), Cassidy (cass, Cassie, dee), Kennedy, Caroline (Carrie), Madeline (maddie, Lynn), madison, Addison, Victoria (Vic, Vicki, tori, ria). Let us know what you choose, congrats! Overall I do like a longer first name with a short middle name like jade, Lane, Rae with curry!
Jenna Jade
Alyssa Jade
Annalee
Carrie-Anne

Karilee
