In my family there is a tradition going 3 gen back on the girls of having a formal first name with a 3 letter middle name. Now that I've met the man I plan to have children with (someday) I'm racking my brain trying to come up with some 3 letter names that aren't already in use in our family. Also the future father is a (future) English professor who is very picky (no unisex names, no 2-name names; Peggy Sue, Bobbi Joe, etc). He really likes literary & classic names like Persephone, but he already has a cat named that and I told him no way was a child of mine being named after a family pet, living or not.

Basically I need a list I can go back to when he nixes all my likes.

So far I have...

(Amelia) Day/Dey (a combo of our moms names Deb/Kay)
(Penelope) Joy
(Gemma) Lux
(Everly) Kai
(Beatrix) Ann (not crazy about Ann-no e but it's all over both sides)


And the no's would be... Kay, Jan, Zoe, Lyn, Rae, Lee


Thanks for the help.
