7 weeks pregnant and the husband won't leave me alone about baby names. Heh. Though he wants a girl, so hasn't even looked at boy names.

Originally we had picked out Sophia Rose, but Sophia is way too popular for my liking. I was always the only Evelyn. I would have hated being Evelyn T. or what not.

Rose is his grandmother's middle name. I'm trying to decide if I like using my grandma's name. So, it'd be Sylvia Rose.

oooohhhh I like Sylvia Rose!
For one, Sylvia definitely needs an increase in popularity, and secondly, the name translates into the phrase "wild rose", "rose from the wild", so it's really neat :)

*deserves, not needs

[ladyluna.livejournal.com]

Heh. It's true!

And before anyone says it, I plan on picking out boy names too. Because I'm pretty sure I'm going to end up with triplet boys because I never wanted kids, and then said "fine, if it's a girl." Heh. Really, healthy baby and all that.

I like it, but it's convincing the husband that will be the problem.

my niece is sophia rose, it's pretty generic imo. sylvia is lovely though

[ladyluna.livejournal.com]

Yeah, we had thought of it when we first started dating, so four years ago? Five almost. But yeah, I just don't want my kid to have an extremely common name. I always felt bad for all the Jessicas and Lindsays.

[ohhvelocitygirl.livejournal.com]

not being common is like my number two rule. I know so many danis. and while it's sort of cool that I have a group of friends and we all go out and have the same name, it can be confusing sometimes. I was lucky enough to always be the only dani or danielle in my classes though.

[ladyluna.livejournal.com]

It was nice to be the only Evelyn for sure. :)

Sibylla is my favorite S---a name, but that's nice, too.

[ladyluna.livejournal.com]

Oh, I hadn't seen that one yet. how do you pronounce it?

[a-tergo-lupi.livejournal.com]

si-BIL-a
It's so pretty. I love it. Bonus points for a strong historical female, despite her apparent powerlessness in popular portrayal. My husband is not so thrilled with the name, unfortunately.

A lady at my mom's church had a girl named Sylvia- at the time I thought it odd, but it really grew with her (she's maybe 7 now) and I think it's quite pretty.

[ladyluna.livejournal.com]

It's growing on me, but yeah...we'll probably end up with a boy :)

[wolfbane.livejournal.com]

I like Sylvia Rose a lot!

[ladyluna.livejournal.com]

Thanks! it's growing on me too

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

I love Sylvia Rose! And Sylvia isn't popular, so there'd probably be no risk of her being Sylvia T (or whatever your last initial is). Sylvia sounds similar to Sophia, too.

[ladyluna.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Darn Sophia for getting popular :(

[ladyluna.livejournal.com]

It's how a lot of people feel about Evelyn. It was always a big name for a little girl, and while the family calls me Ellie everyone else has always called me Evelyn. No Evie, no Eve. Heh.

But I know what you mean..

[arbus.livejournal.com]

i love love love sylvia rose! especially love the nickname sylvie! and it is matchy with your name (evelyn) in a good way, which i really like too.

[ladyluna.livejournal.com]

I wouldnt' have thought of Sylvie until I posted here! Hey, I'm claiming pregnancy brain.

[b-gum.livejournal.com]

Normally i'm not a "Rose" fan, but it goes so well with Sylvia and bonus for honoring his grandmother in the process! :D i think you picked out a good name :)

[ladyluna.livejournal.com]

I like Rose even as a first name, but what the heck would one do for a middle name? Heh.

[http://users.livejournal.com/___heyvanity/]

Sylvia Rose > Sophia Rose x100.

[ladyluna.livejournal.com]

wahoo :)

[solagirl.livejournal.com]

Love it!

[ladyluna.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[cairtirnin.livejournal.com]

I love Sylvia Rose! It sounds so fairy like to me!

[ladyluna.livejournal.com]

Yay! I like fairy things too. I have a picture from my wedding day that seems very fae like, and it's my favorite.

[spaceandclouds.livejournal.com]

That's very pretty, and I like it better than Sophia. Good choice!

[ladyluna.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Oh, and I'm not answering until now because I worked all day, and my morning sickness occurs in the morning, and at night. So I posted this yesterday then went to bed. Heh.

[aquilinum.livejournal.com]

Sophia does sound awfully tired to me. I'd absolutely go for Sylvia instead!

[ladyluna.livejournal.com]

Sophia is beautiful, but *everyone* seems to be naming their kid that. Heck, even Evelyn is having a big come back (and I'm a little bitter...heh)

[ladyluna.livejournal.com]

I know. Sophia is so pretty but everyone is using it. Even Evelyn is having a comeback, and I'm a little bitter. Heh.

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

I prefer Sophia to Sylvia, but both are nice.

My car is named Sylvia. Heh.

And you should join september2010!

[ladyluna.livejournal.com]

Hehe. I should name the Jeep now that you say that.

I should. I'm afraid to join any of those until we get the date for sure. Just doing the whole "first day of your last period" thing. You due in September?

[hwar.livejournal.com]

I love Sylvia. Sylvie is great too!

[ladyluna.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[ladyluna.livejournal.com]

It makes me sad that Rose is filler. I like it as a first name, but can't think of a decent middle name to go with it. :(

[starskye.livejournal.com]

I like it.

[ladyluna.livejournal.com]

Thanks!
