I like Harper. It’s on our first name list. I think P.O.ppy har.per sounds a little choppy, BUT I think perse.phone har.per sounds lovely and you’re more likely to use the middle name with the full first name, rather than the nickname .

Ok, Keegan has moved to the top of our girls list. What do you guys think? I like that we could call her “Kiki” or “keeks” kind of like we cal Ryland “ry” without it having an official nickname.

I agree with this, a little choppy and 2 ‘trendy’ names together. Poppy Grace came to mind when I was saying it outloud while blow drying my hair this morning.

That's still my favorite

cagoldi personally, since both her first and last names are so long I would pick a pretty short middle name. Lea, May, Lou, etc.

If it’s a girl she’ll have too because we have to use dh’s moms name (she died when he was 9) and my I want to use my Maiden name... which is wren. So I support the use of wren! We actually talked about using it as a first name but it feels too weird to me.

Wren is such a pretty name. I love the spelling if Mae. My taste on middle names change if we're talking about Persephone or Poppy. I like most of them with Persephone , but with Poppy I prefer Wren, Belle, or Mae.

I thought I’d throw this out there since I know some of you like more unique names. A blogger I follow named her son Anders (which I thought maybe could be a compromise with your DH peachsmama since I know he wasn’t a huge fan of Anderson) and her daughter Malou.

Love the name Anders, it’s a Scandinavian name. Couldn’t name my child that however. Anders literally means different in Dutch. Plus there was a horrible event (needs a huge trigger warning, so won’t describe it) a few years back in Norway that has effected my BIL in more than one way that was caused by a man named Anders.

Baby no name Unicorn has inspired me to start thinking about names again!
So MH's fav girl nickname is Rosie. I vetoed it because of our last name, but recently people have said I shouldn't let it bother me, especially if it's just a nickname. So, it's back on the table.
I like Rosa for a more formal name. Not super crazy about Rosemary. I like Rosalie and Rose, but not enough to use I don't think. Any other ideas?
