I hate baby naming right now.

[poespretty.livejournal.com]

Or more correctly, I hate all the names I've ever come up with at this point.  At least in combination with my last name and my current kids' names anyway.

Does anyone have the Baby Name Wizard book?  If so could you post about Amelia (especially the sibling part)?  I'd really appreciate it.

any other sibling names (particularly girls) that 'go' with Amelia in your opinion?  

thanks for listening to my frustrations. :/

Oh and Elsa and Eliza too.

I've been thinking Zoe a bit too. I like Sophie but I don't know about DH. and do you think it's too popular? I love Eliza, but my kids have a cousin Elijah (whom they never see mind you, but still) and dh thinks it's too close. plus my best friend loves this name and wants to use it so I'd feel bad I think. :(

I think Sophie is a bit to popular (even though I did suggest its even more popular variant, Sophia). It's a beautiful name, but if you're one to shy away because of popularity, it's probably not for you. I hear of SO many new babies named Sophia/Sophie lately.

I think Zoe and Amelia sounds really good, also, Zoe isn't actually as popular as I assume it is. Sophie is gorgeous, I think that it is more classic than popular so gives the impression of being very popular. Sophie and Amelia sounds lovely too, but not as good as Zoe, I think. I can see where your DH (what does DH stand for?!) is coming from with Eliza and Elijah - they do sound very similar. But I think it would be ok on cousins, especially as they don't see each other much. Would be way too much for siblings though, I can just imagine twins named Eliza and Elijah!! How awful! Anyway, back on track, if your best friend loves it then it could be tricky, but you also love it so she doesn't exactly have 'rights' to it!

I like Zoe & Eliza better than Sophie too.

I seriously think I might have named my first dd Eliza if it weren't for all the "controversy". My friend does have one other name she likes and so far she only has a boy and the chances of her acutally having girl twins (which is when she'd want to use the name Eliza) are pretty slim... but then I feel guilty since I'd consider so many other names and she only likes TWO. like it would be selfish to have to pick that one. I think I think about this stuff too much lol.
