Okay.... here's a name dilemma....

We had agreed on Katherine Grace pretty early on, and we've been set with that name, calling her Katie.

Wellll, we have **6** people in our lives who have recently had baby girls named Katelyn/Katie/Katherine and are calling the babies Katie.

AHHHHH. I am SERIOUSLY re-thinking it now!!

Here's the rules:
1. Name must be 100% classic.
2. Name must be a longish name that has a short nickname.
3. Preferably nickname is 5 letters long and ends in either y or y sound (like Katie is not a y but y sound, kwim?)

Names that are taken in our family (as in, my sister's kids or dogs ;)):
Margaret/Maggie
Susannah
Brooklyn
Abigail/Abby
Alexander-- so no Alexandra

Soooo, what names fit my criteria? I know I'm picky, but my kid's gotta live with this name for life ;)

Oh, and I prefer names that have lots and lots of nicknames that go with it. Like Libby is Elizabeth, so she can be Liz, Lizzie, Libby, Beth, Eliza, etc....

Kimberly :)

;) You know Christina is a lovely name....How about Libby and Christy? Or Chrissy... :love
Madeleine/Maddie is nice. I really like Wendy...but then you'd have to be OK with Gwendolyn for it to fit the pattern :innocent.
How's it coming? Are you changing her name?

How about...
Charlotte - nn Carly or Lotty or Charly
Josephine - nn Josie or Joey

those both fit all of your criteria!
