We've got months until the birth of our baby girl, but the pressure is on to name this baby. We named our first daughter, Georgia, relatively quickly. It's a family name, but also had a old-fashioned American sound that we loved. Naming the next baby took a little longer. We loved Harper's name but difficulty picking a middle name had us doubting ourselves until we met her. Clementine was the middle name we chose, by the way.
What are we looking for in a name for Baby #3? It has to be a name. You have to take her seriously as your college professor. It can't be too similar or too different from her sisters' names, Georgia & Harper. It can't be in the Top 20 Most Popular names.
Here are my favorite baby girl names of the moment:
Poppy Normally, I steer clear of floral names because they sound dainty. However, Poppy is spunky and free-spirited. The Golden Poppy is California's state flower, and that makes me love it even more.
Sadie A nickname for Sarah, this name has old-time charm without sounding too much like a porch-sitter.
Harlowe We can't use this name because of it's closeness to Harper's name, but I love the old Hollywood glamour it resonates.
Hattie We stopped watching the tv show Parenthood because each episode ended up being a bummer. One of the young characters on the show is named Hattie, and it's so unique. Tori Spelling ended up naming her baby, increasing its popularity.
Penelope I adore this name, and have ever since the Pinback song. It's just so darn popular right now that I don't see myself choosing it.
