Hey girls-we found out this week our little bean is a girl and I am dying to figure out her name. I have had lists of favorites for years but it seems all the girls names went from being old fashioned to being very very popular. I am ok using them as a middle name but they don't necessarily sound "perfect".
Also, due to a strange family issue on my DH's side we can't use an A which I happen to love.
Our #1 name right now is Skylar______ Landau
I like a double name-think its super cute so I tend to like it when they flow together. Was leaning towards Anne but not with the family issue can't use that name, plus its my DH's step moms name and she'd have concerns with it.
Oh also, I prefer a girly middle name since Skylar is unisex
So far I kind of like:
Grace
Olivia (I wanted this is a first name, spelled with as A prior to its popularity)
Layne or Laine (not sure if it sounds like a street)
Marie (my mama's and sister middle name)
Lee (don't love the name but like the way it sounds)
Rae
Mae
Rayne- Like the way it sounds but a little corny since Skylar will be callled Skye
Our #2 name is London which is so cute with Landau but I love to have a shortened nickname and don't like any that would come along with London.
Would love your thoughts!! Thanks
