Congratulations! I'd recommend a name but the only ones I can think of sound like they're more suited to a puppy.

Name her Sarah

Let's see: I've always thought Irene, Menina, Kate, and Wendy were great names!

Alexis. Call her 'Lex' for short. And no matter how drunk and/or high you get, do not name her after a character from The Lord of the Rings.

How about Adora? I like it
Posted by: Stella at Jun 24, 2009 10:59:43 AM
I was thinking about Gabriella, not because of grow-a-brain, but as an homage to Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I was also considering the unique name 'Maconda', but Stella is definitely against it

How about Kellie as that is my eldest girls name.

my daughter's name is Dora. she was not named by Dora the explorer (that cartoon did not exist at the time). Dora is an old croatian name... here in belgium people are giving really hideous names to their kids competing which one will be more weird than the other. my sincere congratulations!

Gabriel Garcia Marquez is a fine person to name someone after. My daughter's name is Ocean, believe it or not, and my real name is odder than that really but unusual and fantastic. My granddaughter has a name her parents made up. Very pretty!
I've been taken with flower names the last few years, Lily, Rose, Iris, Pansy, etc. They are old fashioned but pretty.

All girls should have a song with their name in it.

My only suggestion is that you give her a first and middle name that give her the ability to use either or create several nicknames for herself. For example, a name like Elizabeth can become Liz, Libby, Eliza, or Beth or any number of other permutations. Sounds like it could be confusing but you'll see what possibilities it opens up for a child free to transform identity as she grows from one stage to another. When the time comes that she wants to choose who she will be, she'll have options galore.

The origins of the archetypal image of Alfred E. Neuman have been obscured by mortality, foggy memory and the dust of junk shop photo bins. You might be surprised to know that variations of this unforgettable visage peppered American pictography for well over half a century before being adopted by Mad editor Harvey Kurtzman in 1954

I liked Amber and Abigail, and got shot down. We agreed on Hannah (palindromic, woot) and she's due about the same time as yours - dunno if you saw the previous comment, but we share the enthusiasm. Good luck with you and yours!

I like Hannah myself... and Vera. Alice is nice too. I also like Jessy for a girl.
Just don't name her Jenny -- there's a billion of us out there already. It's like the default name for "girl" in my neck of the woods.
