Looking for a name ...

[schuklins.livejournal.com]

My husband and I are going to start TTC this fall, and we're thinking of possibly naming the baby after our grandparents, because I lost two grandmothers this summer and he lost his grandfather (all within three months).

His grandpa's middle name was August, which I like, and can obviously be used for a boy or a girl.

My grandma's names were Mildred (Millie) and Edith Jeanette. I've been trying to find names that are a combination of the two (mainly of Millie and Edith or Eddy), but haven't yet found any. I was hoping some of you may have some ideas?

i went to school with a kid named Carl August, it was also a family name.

my friend has a little girl named Millie, she's just the cutest, sweetest little thing i've ever seen. her full name is Millie Mackensie Eileen lastname. i'm not overly fond of it, but the name Millie is cute.

Edith August might be nice for a girl, and you could call her Edie for short.

I actually like the name Edie.

i love august as a name

Meredith? Starts with 'M' for Millie and ends with Edith?

Melody? Kind of sounds like 'Mil-Eddy'?

I suppose Eddy could be a nn for Mildred so you could just use Eddy even if it's short for a completely different name beginning with 'Ed' like Edia or Edessa or Eden or Edwina.

Amelia
Amélie
Eden
Edie (ee-dee)

The closest smush I can find is Emily, but I find that pretty common and boring.

I think Eden Amelia is very pretty.

I think Eddy as a nn for Mildred is a neat idea. Though I don't know if I can convince my husband to name the baby Mildred!

Oops! I guess you meant combine as in create a new name? hahaha.

Ellie would work for a girl (Millie & Edith), Etta (Edith, Jeanette, Augusta). Um... I don't know. Ellie and Etta are the only two I can think of.

I love Meredith.
I don't like Mildred. I like Millicent, but that just has the Millie in it.

Millie Edith as a full name is cute.

since when is august a unisex name? i've always known it to be masculine. if it is being used on girls, i'm going to be seriously disappointed. :( first augustine is turned unisex, and now august?? sad.

i think millie would be a really cute nickname for camilla or camille. camilla jeanette would be darling.
