Do you think it would bother a kid for his/her two older siblings to have family names and his/hers be just names we loved? I don't know who else to name a kid after.. Lol. No. My two older sisters and I are named after my grandmas and moms. My younger sister isn't named after anyone and nobody has ever thought much of it.

I'm kinda loving Remi/Remy for a girl right now, but feel like it needs a more formal name to go with it? I'm not liking any of the longer names though.

What's so funny about this post is that I thought it was @peach asking, and I think it goes beautifully with her last name.

The remi I know is short for Remington and that’s a gun brand, so I wouldn’t personally use it. I can’t think of any other longer names it could be a NN for.

Remington reminds me of Remington Steele which most of you will not know.

Not a fan of Remington! We are trying to use Carmen or Oct.avia as a middle name because we'd like to name the baby after MIL if it's a girl. Not sure either really go with Remi! I texted MH though and he isn't a big Remi fan anyway

Didn't Kelly Clarkson name her girl Remington and call her Remi for short?

I always loved the name Jolene. Then a girl I went to high school with that I hated, named her daughter that.

Everyone remember soozarella?
Her oldest is Remy. I like it.
I think it's cute as a stand alone name but I don't like Remington for a girl. Not sure what it could be short for other than that.

So Pete thinks we've settled on Harper as a MN.
Thoughts?

I like Harper. If in doubt order a sample birth announcement or something with her full name in print. We did this with both kids and it was in that moment that we saw ds’ presumed full name on paper that we realised that it didn’t work. Weird I know, but somehow it’s different than writing it down yourself.
ETA we changed ds’ middle name after that.
