Baby Name Musings

| 4 Comments

I have taken the poll off since there weren't many votes yet and we've changed the list again. We really need to make a decision on a name for Baby Girl so that I can move on with my life! It is an all-consuming obsession that was waning until I got my baby name books in the air shipment... Anyway, here is the current list (in alphabetical order):

Caroline Eldora: For great-grandmas Carolyn & Eldora. I like Caroline for its timelessness. We wouldn't use a nickname.

Ella Carolyn: Again for great-grandmas Eldora & Carolyn. I love Ella but am concerned that it has risen so fast in popularity recently that she'd be just another Ella (lumped in with all of the Ellies, too) and that her name would be dated (like, say, Jennifer from the 70s).

Sarah Harmon: Even though it has no family ties, Sarah has been at the top of my list since we found out we were pregnant. I really like the timelessness of it and I also really like how Anna & Sarah sound together (although I realize that's only relevant for about 16-18 years of their lives). Since Sarah is not a family-name, I like Harmon (my maiden name) for the middle since there must be some family significance in Baby Girl's name.

I'd go with Sarah. You could even drop the "h" at the end if you like.

I also vote for Sarah Harmon...sounds good with Anna, and I like that you're getting your maiden name in there! :)

I really like Caroline and Sarah. I agree with you about Ella--it's a great name, but it's awfully popular. It might be a good choice for a middle name--Caroline Ella?

I guess I'm just making it more confusing. Sorry!

Okay...Of the choices you are considering I like Caroline Eldora. I have lived with Sibylla as a middle name and it has been fine.
