My sis is about 15 weeks, and we are all dying for a girl. She showed me a list of girl names a long time ago and most of them were AWFUL. Absolutely terrible. (Like really obscure, unheard of, creatively spelled names.) I was honest with her. But one name that was actually okay was Lucy, and she said it was high on her list. She has been mentioning it a lot lately.

Our mom passed away in 2002, and her name was Brenda Lynn. She wanted to name her baby after our mom but her boyfriend's ex-wife is named Brenda, so she can't. Therefore she has decided the middle name will be Lynn. (Which is also my middle name, yay!)

So what do you think of Lucy Lynn?

Personally, I think it's adorable. But I know some might think it's too matchy.

As a rule I veto alliterative names, but Lucy Lynn sounds cute. More importantly, the name has meaning, and that trumps style in my book (within reason). Here's one alternative: Lucy Brynn. You could look at Brynn as a combination of Brenda and Lynn. Avoids the ex-wife's name while including mom's name and avoiding alliteration. I like that idea. Lucy Lynn really is fine, though.

I love that idea.

I was going to suggest Brynn as well!

Great minds think alike! :)
