Yet Another Name Post

DH and I essentially stopped talking names once we found out we were pregnant - and now I think he wants me to give him a list to choose from. So, I need help! We really like family/traditional names. Mary is a strong name on my side of the family, and I'm having trouble coming up with something to do with it. DH suggested Mary Anna, which I like but am not sold on. What ideas do you have?? Mary could also be a mn...

and GO!

Re: Yet Another Name Post

  • Love Mary, it's on the top of my girl list.

    My grandma is Mary Ann, her SIL is a Mary Beth

    I was going with Mary Katherine, calling her Mary Kate.

    The great thing about Mary, is it seems to go with everything.

  • Mary goes with so much.  My niece is Mary Elizabeth.  Mary can really go with nearly anything and I think it's a great name.  Everyone knows it but it's not that common.
  • Mary is a very pretty name that you don't hear a lot anymore.  It's classic and timeless, and it goes with so much that I don't really think you could go wrong.  Some variations of the name that come to mind for me are Miriam and Marion, which I think are both pretty, too.  Good choice!

    I really like this combination too, except that SIL is Katherine - there is no way I'm dealing with the family dynamics of naming a child after one of my four sister in laws Stick out tongue Plus, that wouldn't be our reason but I'm not sure you can expect a person to think they were not named after someone else. I don't know..

    I also love the Mary Elizabeth, but DH doesn't like it. Ugh.

  • Call me old fashioned but I like Mary Lou.  Mary Laine is also very pretty, or Mary Elaine.
    Anniversary
  • Molly was thisclose to being Mary Alice. We'll probably still use that if we have another girl.

    I love the combo; but we have friends with a LO with Mary Alice, there is also a Mary Scott in our Sunday School class babies. We had considered Mary Frances until my SIL married her DH, who has a niece called Mary Fran who is a PITA. Mary has been oddly popular around here recently....

    Keep 'em coming ladies!!

  • I had a Mary Lyle in class and I loved her. Her dad's name was Lyle so it was cute. She was a little tomboyish and it fit her well.
  • Mary Kate is one of my guilty pleasure names... but I love Mary in general, in pretty much all it's forms.   I'm excited to hear what you pick. :)
    Married in 2008 - DD born in 2010 - EDD 6.15.2012!
  • I went to school with a girl named Mary Beth.
