I'm a few weeks from having my daughter and was curious if you folks think the name we've picked works well with her brother and sister's names.
Her brother is Oliver Milo and her sister is Delilah Pepper. Unless she really doesn't seem to suit it, we were planning on calling her Lucy Marigold. What'cha think?

Also, an acquaintance on facebook posted her (fraternal) twin girl's first names and she's due in August- Kailee and Kailyn. I'm not digging it. Where do you draw the line for names being too matchy? I don't mind the same first initial but.. I think those sound way too alike.

That's my only real worry about Lucy- it's a lot more common than the other two names. The others are unique enough that I don't know anyone with the name, but common enough that people have heard of them. Lucy's definitely more used, but... I haven't found a name that really rings out like it does.

We thought about using Lucille instead of Lucy to give it more of a grown up feel, but I wouldn't ever call her anything but Lucy and I don't see the point of naming your kid one thing with the intention of calling them another, you know?

I really dug hearing your opinion, totally on track with my own.
