I like all of those names, Sophie, Ava or Eva. I think Sophie and Ava are gaining in popularity though, so if you like a less popular name you might find it too common as she gets older. Eva (with a long E) is pretty and less popular, at least for now. Have you checked out social security’s name site? It’s great because it gives you the popularity of whatever name you are considering for the last 10 years. I’ll see if I can find it for you.
http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/ Here it is. I hope that helps.
No, I don’t think Ian and Eva is too much at all. I like the name very much. I also like Sophie much better than Sophia. I thought of another name for you to consider. How about Ian and Ivy? Short. Pretty. Goes well with Ian.
Congrats!!! That is so exciting! I realllllly liked Addison and Avery but we went with DH’s choice…I get to pick #2!!!
Lots of great names to choose from! Have fun and I hope you start to feel better soon! Crossing my fingers, toes, and everything I can think of for a reflux-free baby for you!
congrats!! whoohoo!!
I didn’t even talk/tell jonah about anything until way near the end- he didn’t even seem to notice my huge belly!!! and he was close to three, LOL!! towards the end I talked about it & read him some books over & over & told him how important he is & how he would be the Big Brother, etc…
And, here’s hope for you bcse my second is reflux free
!!now names…
I like Amalia, Lila, Ruby (my niece
), Talianna (‘tali’ as in rhyming w/ Holly and then ‘anna’ with ah like ‘ah-ha’!)
Arlyn (friend’s daughter) – ‘ar’ like ‘car’ & then ‘lyn’ like ‘lynn’)
Summer (friend’s baby)
Ellis
Any ethnicity/heritage or story/history you’d like to represent?
Congratulations!!! I’m so interested in knowing where you got your info on what to do during pregnancy that will try to off-set having horrific reflux and food issues with baby #2. I’ve been very curious what kind of info is out there and where to find it?
I’m probably going to use this if I EVER have a daughter and that would mean having another child….so that’s a long way off (and my child has to sleep first, so you never know how long this could take!)…but I loved Ada. I know Ava is getting popular, but I think Ada is lesser known and I haven’t heard of anyone with that name. I actually had a dream while pregnant with Lucas that I had a daughter named Ada and after that I just loved it. Of course, dh thought it sounded hopelessly old-fashioned and wasn’t too hip on it– and the dream didn’t convince him like it did for me!! I also liked Zoe (another short one!) Phoebe (pronounced fee-bee, I think it’s always pronounced this way?) is cute, too. Reminds me a bit of Sophie. I also really liked Lucy and we have close friends who wanted a more formal name so they named their daughter Lucia (in italian it means light, I think?) and they are calling her Lucy. Another friend gave her daughter the middle name Quinn, which I had never heard of, or thought of for a girl, but I like it.
My sister went out on a limb and named her little girl Berkley. She’s been a teacher and school counselor for years and didn’t want anything that reminded her of past students, and had never had a Berkley. My great aunt who is 96 and very proper tells us that Berkley used to be a man’s name when she was a child and growing up (and my folks know of two men in their 60s now named Berkley). She was pretty scandalized by the whole thing and said that she hoped they would call the baby by the middle name, Michelle, because “at least that is a girl’s name!” I thought the whole thing was hilarious. They are calling the baby Berkley.
