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....
