Hey! Thanks for all the response on my last post here! So, just in case you missed it, I'm pregnant! And if it's a boy we're going with Henry Isaac. If it's a girl, I have no idea! But, I do have more of an idea now. We went through some names and came up with a new list. Oh, and I have a daughter, Cressa May Henri (two middle names for those who asked, and Henri is pronounced on-ree).

Elise
Emelia
Lucy
Natalie
Rosemary
Sophia

Very small list... any suggestions? None of them really do it for me. Well, no, three of them I can really see working, but still, not in love yet. I hope that means we are having a boy... =]

The only one out of the list that I'm grooving on is Emelia...but I'm REALLY grooving on it :D Congrats! I can't wait to start trying next year :D

[after-the-ashes.livejournal.com]

Emelia is one of the three I really like =] I think it's actually the one I like the best, name-wise, meaning wise is another story... And thank you! We were trying not to... but surprises are good =]

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

I like Sophia, Lucy and Natalie, in this order :)

[after-the-ashes.livejournal.com]

Any mn suggestions for Lucy? It seems kinda incomplete to me... But it's my favorite one meaning-wise =]

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

I agree with you on the meaning as well :)
I actually prefer Lucille or Lucilla (Lucy Van Pelt fan here!!) because it leaves the option of having Lucy just for nickname purposes..

Middle names, let's see..
Lucy Rebecca (my favorite!)
Lucy Madeline (combining two songs from the same Hanson album lol)
Lucy Anita
Lucy Tabitha
Lucy Miriam
Lucy Cornelia
Lucy Arlene
Lucy Corinna

All of those are really beautiful names.

Particularly I'm in love with Rosemary.

[after-the-ashes.livejournal.com]

Rosemary is the other one I love. Emelia, Lucy and Rosemary. I love Rosemary because of the song Evil by Interpol... haha.

[sheshellabella.livejournal.com]

I heart interpol therefore I love Rosemary. Sophia is a close second and Emelia is right at third.

[after-the-ashes.livejournal.com]

Yup, that is why Rosemary is on my top three =] Emelia is, too.

[arbus.livejournal.com]

theyre all beautiful in their own way. i dont really like elise much, but the others are fabulous.

[sheshellabella.livejournal.com]

Yay :).

[classybehavior.livejournal.com]

I think they're all pretty names but Lucy and Emelia are my favorites.

[pixietangerine.livejournal.com]

rosemary is probably my favorite of your list. rosemary and cressa go really well together for some reason. natalie, sophia, and elise are pretty, but kind of boring next to cressa. emelia is very pretty, but i think it'd be misspelled amelia constantly. lucy is a sweet name. i like the suggestion someone else had of lucy tabitha.

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

All of them are great. Sophia isn't really my thing, but it's not a bad name. As for Emelia, I prefer Emilia or Amelia. My favourites are Natalie, Lucy, and Rosemary, in that order.

[after-the-ashes.livejournal.com]

Emilia isn't bad. I'm not sure what the most correct spelling of Amelia with an "E" instead is, so I don't have a preference. I like Amelia, it's just that my fiance said the nn would be Amy then, which I really really don't like. And nn Emmy isn't as bad, IMO.

[after-the-ashes.livejournal.com]

Totally didn't think about the fact it'd be misspelled all the time. Thanks! I love Rosemary, too. And I agree about them being boring in comparison. I didn't think about that, either. Thank you so much for your reply! =]

[cxtxc.livejournal.com]

I'm not really a fan of any of the names, but Emelia (prefer Amelia) and Sophia (prefer Sofia) are the ones I like the most. I think they both work better as sibsets to Cressa.

Anjali / Angelique
Alessandra
Carys
Carese
Estelle
Fleur
Harlow
Jean
Louise / Louisa
Lourdes
Mabel
Stella

[after-the-ashes.livejournal.com]

Amelia would be fine if my fiance didn't say he'd use Amy as a nn, so I found Emelia and went with it =] I think Sophia matches best, and that spelling, because it's Greek and so is Cressa. I love Harlow and Louisa! Thanks!

[luxury-bus.livejournal.com]

I'm going in for a c-section in a few days for my triplets, and my little boy is going to be named Henry Isaac... =/

Out of your list, I really like Elise and Sophia. Elise was going to be the middle name for one of our girls, but it didn't blend well with out style -- I think it works with yours.

[after-the-ashes.livejournal.com]

Haha, I probably suggested Isaac in one of those posts! It's a good name and there aren't that many good boys names out there =] I personally would love to go with Isaac as the first name, but my fiance is set on Henry. He wishes he was named Henry. And I was one who voted for Elise as the mn =]

[emtotherescuee.livejournal.com]

If you named your child Emilia, I would suggest the spelling "Aemilia", since Emilia could be easy linked to the more popular name, Emily, and that's not really all that good.

None of the names are really my taste. Sophia is getting really popular, so I beg that you don't name your daughter that. So is Lucy (I think only in the UK, though.)

This is coming from an Emily, and I hate how popular my name is, so really, think before you give your child a name everyone else seems to have.



Congrats on your baby, though!

[emtotherescuee.livejournal.com]

Oh, and, if you do use Lucy, how about you give your baby, if it's a girl, that is, a name that Lucy could be a nn to? Like Lucille.

[emtotherescuee.livejournal.com]

(Lucille is pronounce loo-SEEL)

[after-the-ashes.livejournal.com]

I didn't even think of Emily! I just didn't go with Amelia because my fiance suggested the nn Amy which I hate. I agree that Sophia is too popular... I didn't know Lucy was, but I'm in the US so that's not too bad, it's still a favorite. Thanks! =]

[after-the-ashes.livejournal.com]

Haha =] I just don't like Lucille. I might do it for Lucille Ball's sake, and for the reason you stated. But I don't like Lucille at all...

[tryyingtoevolve.livejournal.com]

I would go with Amelia instead of Emelia, since it's the same name, but Emelia is going to cause spelling/pronunciation issues that Amelia won't. Otherwise I love them all. My favorites are Amelia (if spelled this way), Lucy, and Sophia.

[after-the-ashes.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I like Amelia better, but my fiance said the nn would be Amy, which I want to avoid. So I found Emelia. I agree about the spelling issues, though.

[tryyingtoevolve.livejournal.com]

I don't think Amy is actually a common nickname for Amelia. Mostly it's Mia or Lia. At the least, it's not a name that's normally shortened to the point where people would do it automatically like Samuel or Benjamin or something.

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

i like natalie the best out of all of them. i think elise would be a very pretty middle name.
some suggestions:
adelaide
augusta
camille
caroline
eloise
emerson
emmeline
eve
genevieve
georgia
gwendolyn
helena
irene (or you could pronounce it the french way: ee-REHN, which i think it very pretty)
iris
juliet
layla
léa
lila
linnea
maeve
marion
marisol
nora
olivia
olive
penelope
romy
rosalind
sage
sasha
scarlett
tabitha

[ifancylust.livejournal.com]

ia. i've never heard of an amelia that went by amy.

[solagirl.livejournal.com]

A few to think about:

Rosalin/Rozalin
Rosalie
Elena
Helena
Elsa
Noelle
Serafina
Josephine
Erin
Ilona
Larissa

[cherrysorbet.livejournal.com]

Cressa is a gorgeous name!

My favourites from that list (in order) are Natalie (my top girls name!), Lucy and Emelia (but I like it Emilia). But all really nice names.

For some reason another name I can see working with Cressa is Harley. I don't know why, but I do :P

[glassteapot.livejournal.com]

I love love love Natalie! And while Rosemary isn't my favourite name ever, I think it goes really nicely with Cressa.

My name is Lucy! :-)
