Help?

[274-days.livejournal.com]

Hey all - I've been in this comm before when I was expecting and now have an 18month old daughter, Layla Marie. I've decided to rejoin on a whim and funnily enough, my sister just sent me a message asking about possible baby names. I thought I might seek your help:

My sister is expecting her third baby, and has come up with the name Oliver (not sure of middle names) if it is a boy, but cannot think of a girl's name. She did like Lucy but isn't so sure on it now. Can you guys suggest anything for a girl? Or even a middle name for Oliver?

Her first-born is Ella Jade (3yrs) and youngest is Brocklan Shane ( his middle name is his father's - 18months).

Thanks heaps for your help!

Haha, funnily enough most of the names you didn't like are the ones I like best ;)

The rest are too girly for my taste, so to speak. They are good names though, I think.

My favorite name for a boy is Oliver Grey...but beyond that I'm not much help lol. I suck at coming up with "if they like this name these are others they'll like" type lists...

Soon after Layla was born, I was in the pharmacy gettting some antibiotics for my ear infection, and the pharmacist commented on her (as they do when the baby is around three weeks old and still 'little'). We got to talking about her name, and it turns out the pharmacist's grand-daughter, born a couple months before my Layla, was also called Layla Marie!

I love the name Oliver Grey actually! I'm not sure if my sister will, she's a bit hard to suggest names for (hence asking for help!), but I know what you mean about trying to come up with names for other ppl when there's not a huge hint on their taste/style
