Changing the name?

So for a good amount of my pregnancy my babys name has been planned to be Liliana. Now all of a sudden (I'm 38 weeks) I want her to be named Faith. I always planned on naming her that but it randomly changed one day to Liliana.

Now with everything that's happened (breaking up with my abusive bf and preparing to raise the baby alone) I feel like Faith fits so much more.

So what do you think? Faith Isabella, Faith Olivia, Faith Christine? I need some middle name suggestions. Anyone ever change their planned baby name at the last minute? Thanks!

What about Faith Liliana? It flows well, and that way you could keep both names that you liked.

This!

Agreed - it sounds lovely, and better than the other three mentioned, too.

This is what I would suggest :o)

I was going to suggest this as well.

I like Faith so much better than Liliana! Of these choices, I like Faith Christine.

Based on these names, some suggestions I like from Nymbler:

Amelia
Emma
Elizabeth
Allegra
Sophia
Abigail
Anna
Emily
Liana
Angelica
Julia

While I'm not a fan of Faith (I don't like virtue names), I think it's a better option at the moment because Liliana (any version with the nickname Lily) is SO popular. Why not Faith Liliana? Isabella and Olivia are trendy at the moment too, so Faith Christine is my favorite out of the options. I prefer Faith Olivia to Faith Isabella though.

My suggestions:

Faith Caroline
Faith Emma
Faith Claire
Faith Juliet
Faith Elise
Faith Madeline
Faith Rosalie
Faith Genevieve
Faith Sophia (trendy too, but sounds nice)
Faith Arabella

I am not very fond of virtue names in general, but I absolutely love Faith. My favorite middle name to go with it is Adhara (or Adara). Now, about your middle names, I think Faith Christine is too much, but Faith Olivia sounds nice. Faith Isabella... well, it's nice, but not my style because I prefer Isabel and Faith Isabel doesn't flow right IMO.

Some other suggestions:

Faith Annabelle
Faith Clarissa
Faith Emily
Faith Nadia
Faith Susanne
Faith Laurel
Faith Juliet
Faith Josephine
Faith Bianca
Faith Abigail
Faith Joanne
Faith Helena

I think we went through 3 different names when pregnant with my daughter- the 2nd was pretty much set in stone until one day we both (luckily) decided we no longer liked it
all of those middle choices are nice- maybe choose by initials?
what will the last name be?
FI?
FO?
FC?

I know this wasn't your original question, but if he is/was abusive, and you if you ever intend to tell your daughter the truth about this, she might not appreciate having to go through life with his last name. I know several friends who've had to go through loads of paperwork over the years to either change their own names or because their mothers changed their minds when they were kids.

I like all your name suggestions and I think they are all pretty! Sorry I'm not very helpful, but I like what you have already.

Also, have you considered Liliana Faith? Or maybe even Faith Liliana? (Though I think Liliana Faith sounds better)

I love Liliana, I used to be obsessed with it for a while!

I second (or third, or fifth...you get my point) the Faith Liliana suggestion. That sounds gorgeous!

Just some other suggestions in case you don't want to go with that:
Faith Elodie
Faith Emily/Emmeline
Faith Rosalie
Faith Julia(nne)
Faith Norah
Faith Anielle
Faith Helena
Faith Noelle

I like Faith Olivia or Faith Liliana.

Others:

Faith Willow
Faith Rowan
Faith Evelyn

Also, I meant to say this in my comment above, but I'm glad you got out of an abusive relationship and I wish you all the best! (I think Faith is much more fitting as well)
